10. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 42.9% and 41.6%, compared to 41.2% for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate for 2015 is 41.1%. The Company provides for the effects of income taxes in interim financial statements based on the Company’s estimate of its estimated annual effective tax rate for the full year, which is based on forecasted income by jurisdiction where the Company operates, adjusted for the tax effects of items that relate discretely to the period, if any. The difference between the statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is largely attributable to state income taxes and a full valuation allowance with respect to the deferred tax assets of the Company’s Canadian operations.
