Effective Income Tax Rate
The U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective income tax rate are as follows:
Three months ended Six months ended
February 28, 2021 February 29, 2020 February 28, 2021 February 29, 2020
U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 21.0  % 21.0  % 21.0  % 21.0  %
Effective income tax rate 26.9  % 108.9  % 28.5  % 71.0  %
The effective income tax rate decreased for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2021, compared to the three months and six months ended February 29, 2020, primarily due to increased income for the three months and six months ended February 28, 2021, driven in part by decreased restructuring charges in tax jurisdictions with minimal related income tax benefit.
The effective income tax rate differed from the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% during the three months and six months ended February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020, primarily due to: (i) losses in tax jurisdictions with existing valuation allowances and (ii) tax incentives granted to sites in Brazil, China, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam.
