For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded an income tax benefit of $26 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $399 million compared to an income tax benefit of $78 million on pre-tax loss from continuing operations of $412 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our effective income tax rate was 6.5% and 18.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory federal rate of 21%, primarily due to partnership loss for which there was no tax benefit, as such loss is allocated to the partners.
