INCOME TAX INCOME TAX
Our effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were 17.3% and 12.5%, respectively. Our effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 differed favorably from the U.S. statutory rate primarily as a result of foreign interest income not subject to tax, tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 also included the favorable effect of a change in the assessment of the need for a valuation allowance related to certain foreign tax credit carryforwards.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we reported a tax expense of 39.2% and 36.7%, respectively, of the reported income before taxes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, tax expense was greater than the U.S. statutory tax rate as a result of a gain on the dispositions of our consumer and gaming businesses for income tax reporting purposes, while a net loss on the dispositions was recognized for financial reporting purposes. These effects were partially offset by the favorable effect on the rate of foreign interest income not subject to tax, tax credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
