The following table reconciles the U.S. federal statutory<br />
tax rate to our ongoing effective tax rate:<br />
32 TRICON GLOBAL RESTAURANTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES<br />
<strong>2000</strong> 1999 1998<br />
U.S. federal statutory tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0%<br />
State income tax, net of federal<br />
tax benefit 2.2 2.3 2.8<br />
Foreign and U.S. tax effects<br />
attributable to foreign operations (1.0) 1.5 6.3<br />
Adjustments relating to prior years 1.3 0.8 (1.7)<br />
Other, net 0.2 (0.3) (0.1)<br />
Ongoing effective tax rate 37.7% 39.3% 42.3%<br />
The <strong>2000</strong> ongoing effective tax rate decreased 1.6 percentage<br />
points to 37.7%. The decrease in the ongoing effective<br />
tax rate was primarily due to a reduction in the tax on our<br />
international operations, including the initial benefits of<br />
becoming eligible in <strong>2000</strong> to claim substantially all of our<br />
available foreign income tax credits for foreign taxes paid<br />
in <strong>2000</strong> against our U.S. income tax liability. This decrease<br />
was partially offset by adjustments relating to prior years.<br />
In <strong>2000</strong>, the effective tax rate attributable to foreign operations<br />
was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate due to<br />
our ability to claim foreign taxes paid against our U.S. income<br />
tax liability. The effective tax rate attributable to foreign operations<br />
in 1999 and 1998 was higher than the U.S. federal<br />
statutory tax rate. This was primarily due to foreign tax rate<br />
differentials, including foreign withholding tax paid without<br />
benefit of the related foreign tax credit for U.S. income tax<br />
purposes and losses of foreign operations for which no tax<br />
benefit could be currently recognized.<br />
The 1999 ongoing effective tax rate decreased 3.0 percentage<br />
points to 39.3%. The decrease in the ongoing effective<br />
tax rate was primarily due to a one-time favorable international<br />
benefit in Mexico. The recent pattern of profitability<br />
in Mexico and expectations of future profitability have<br />
allowed us to reverse a previous valuation allowance against<br />
deferred tax assets. This will enable us to reduce future cash<br />
tax payments in Mexico.<br />
