For the three months ended September 30, 2024, our effective tax rate was 27.8% as we recognized income tax expense of $10.4 million on income of $37.6 million. The effective tax rate of 27.8% was less favorable than the statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes, of 26.1%, primarily due to certain nondeductible expense items. These unfavorable items were partially offset by a tax benefit related to non-taxable gains on our investments used to fund our deferred compensation liability.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, our effective tax rate was 31.2% as we recognized income tax expense of $9.8 million on income of $31.3 million. The effective tax rate of 31.2% was less favorable than the statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes, of 26.6%, primarily due to tax expense related to nondeductible losses on our investments used to fund our deferred compensation liability and certain nondeductible expense items.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our effective tax rate was 22.9% as we recognized income tax expense of $24.6 million on income of $107.2 million. The effective tax rate of 22.9% was more favorable than the statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes, of 26.1%, primarily due to a discrete tax benefit for share-based compensation awards that vested during the first quarter of 2024 and a tax benefit related to non-taxable gains on our investments used to fund our deferred compensation liability. These favorable items were partially offset by certain nondeductible expense items.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, our effective tax rate was 27.4% as we recognized income tax expense of $22.5 million on income of $82.1 million. The effective tax rate of 27.4% was less favorable than the statutory rate, inclusive of state income taxes, of 26.6%, primarily due to certain nondeductible expense items.
