The effective income tax rates were 39.4% and 11.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rates were (30.8)% and 16.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"), which provides guidance on recognition of current income tax consequences for inter-company asset transfers (other than inventory) at the time of transfer. On January 1, 2020, the Company completed a reorganization of its foreign legal entity structure that resulted in a $30.6 million tax benefit. In accordance with ASU 2016-16, the Company recorded the $30.6 million benefit and a corresponding deferred tax asset in the first quarter of 2020. Due to a decrease in the forecasted income of international entities resulting from adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2020 reflecting a change in the anticipated realizability of this deferred tax asset.

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was higher than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% due to the establishment of a valuation allowance of $5.1 million and state income taxes, partially offset by the impact of foreign operations, a $1.5 million adjustment to our deferred taxes, and $0.7 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was lower than the U.S. federal
income tax rate of 21.0% due to $12.2 million of tax credits recognized in the period, $0.3 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation and the impact of foreign operations, offset by state income taxes.
The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was lower than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% due to the impacts of ASU-2016 and the corresponding valuation allowance, $3.4 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation, an adjustment to our deferred taxes, and the impact of foreign operations, partially offset by state income taxes and a change in estimated uncertain tax positions. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was lower than the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21.0% due to $12.2 million of tax credits recognized in the period, $3.3 million of excess tax benefits from share-based compensation and the impact of foreign operations, partially offset by state income taxes.
