[1] Fluctuations in our effective income tax rate between quarters generally relates to the accounting for discrete income tax items in any given quarter, and revisions of estimates for certain income tax components during the year. For 2017: Our effective income tax rates for the first, second, third, and fourth quarters were 9%, 43%, 38%, and 31%, respectively. The first quarter 2017 effective income tax rate reflects an approximately $5 million net benefit resulting from Comcast’s exercise of 1.4 million vested stock warrants in January 2017 (see Note 10) and the fourth quarter effective income tax rate includes a $2 million benefit from the remeasurement of U.S.-based net deferred tax liabilities as required under the U.S. Tax reform enacted in December 2017 (see Note 7). For 2016: Our effective income tax rates for the first, second, third, and fourth quarters were 35%, 37%, 41%, and 35%, respectively.
