5. Income Taxes

The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate may change periodically due to changes in enacted tax rates, fluctuations in the mix of income earned from the Company's various domestic and international operations, which are subject to income taxes at different rates, the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and amounts related to uncertain income tax positions. The provision for income taxes on consolidated income before income taxes totaled $11,729,000 and $5,328,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The provision for income taxes on consolidated income before income taxes totaled $9,554,000 and $11,120,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The overall effective tax rate decreased to 35.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with 36.8% for the 2019 period primarily due to the impact of goodwill impairment and LWI disposition in 2020 and an arbitration settlement in 2019.
