Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES

Our effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

		Nine Months Ended September 30,
		2019			2018
Effective Tax Rate		19.3	%		26.0	%

The lower effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily due to the favorable impact of changes in valuation allowance (net of adjustments to foreign taxes), an increase in net excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation of $11.0 million compared with $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and the unfavorable impact associated with the financial impacts surrounding the closure of our Belgium manufacturing facility in 2018. These adjustments are partially offset by the unfavorable impact of net currency exchange losses in 2019 and a one-time favorable impact related to the reduction of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax charge which lowered the effective tax rate in 2018.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 differs from the U.S. Federal statutory rate due to various items that impacted the effective rate both favorably and unfavorably. We recorded the unfavorable impact of net currency exchange losses, unrecognized tax benefits, and an adjustment to foreign taxes. These adjustments were offset by the favorable adjustments for earnings in jurisdictions where the statutory rate is lower than the U.S. Federal statutory rate, decrease in valuation allowance, and current year net excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation.
