INCOME TAXES:

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2015, and May 31, 2014, was 31.5% and 32.5%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended May 31, 2015, and May 31, 2014, were lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to lower effective tax rates applicable to our foreign businesses. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2015, also benefited from a decrease in uncertain tax positions.

We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Subsequent to May 31, 2015, we received a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) from the IRS proposing tax assessments for the 2010 and 2011 tax years. We disagree with certain assessments in this report and intend to submit a written protest stating our formal disagreement with the conclusions presented in the RAR. We believe that our position will be successfully sustained.
