The 2011 second quarter included a $5.8 million write-off of deferred tax assets as a result of U.S. state law changes enacted during that quarter that was partially offset by several items, including provision adjustments on uncertain tax positions and a favorable mix in earnings and remittances. The 2012 second quarter includes a $4.7 million provision related to the second Spanish tax withholding cases and other provision adjustments on uncertain tax positions. The year-over-year increase also reflects the absence of an R&D tax credit in the U.S. during the second quarter of 2012.

The decline in profit was driven by double-digit cost increases and lower sales volumes that were only partially offset by the realization of price increases and other margin improvement initiatives, including the Strategic Initiative that was announced in early 2012.
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 27.2% compared with 27.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The six-month period ended June 30, 2011 period included a $5.8 million write-off of deferred tax assets as a result of U.S. state law changes enacted during the second quarter of 2011 that was partially offset by several items, including adjustments on uncertain tax positions and a favorable mix in earnings and remittances. The six-month period ended June 30, 2012 period included a $10.6 million benefit due to a corporate restructuring of certain of our foreign subsidiaries that was offset by $12.9 million of provisions related to the Spanish tax withholding cases and other reserve adjustments on uncertain tax positions. The year-over-year decrease also reflects a lower cost of repatriation during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Additionally, the lack of an R&D credit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 negatively impacted the effective tax rate for the period then ended.
