(13) Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date ordinary (loss) income. Tax jurisdictions with a projected or year to date loss for which a benefit cannot be realized are excluded.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, income tax expense of $1,814 was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions as well as tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 21.3% is greater than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives offset by non-deductible expenses and tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, income tax benefit of $(3,694) was attributable to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions as well as tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 24.3% is greater than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives offset by non-deductible expenses and tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, income tax expense of $1,450 was primarily related to the mix of earnings among tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of 17.9% is lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the impact of certain incentives offset by non-deductible expenses and tax losses for which no benefit is recognized due to valuation allowances in certain jurisdictions.
