For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the tax rate was impacted by a reduction in earnings due to depreciation charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the tax rate was also impacted by the recognition of a valuation allowance of $13 million related to our U.K. deferred tax assets and a charge of $7 million related to expiring state net operating losses.
