The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was 4.4% and 10.6%, respectively and 136.3% and 23.2% for the three and six months ended July 1, 2018, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 reflect a net tax benefit related to share-based compensation, partially offset, with respect to the six months ended June 30, 2019, by the effect of non-deductible costs related to the 2019 Footprint realignment plan, as described in Note 5. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended July 1, 2018, reflect non-deductible costs related to the 2018 Footprint realignment plan, as described in Note 5, and a non-deductible contingent consideration expense recognized in connection with an increase in the fair value of the NeoTract contingent consideration liability.
Effective July 3, 2019, the Company merged two of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company is currently evaluating the tax impact of this merger, but it is likely to result in a reduction of approximately $130 million to deferred tax liabilities within 12 months of the effective date of the merger.
