INCOME TAXES Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on the loss from continuing operations was 35.5 percent and 21.6 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was attributable to pre-tax losses in excess of discrete adjustments for tax return to provision differences in such period. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to the jurisdictional mix of income and loss, valuation allowance on certain interest expense carryforwards, partially offset by discrete tax adjustments for tax return to provision differences, expired stock compensation and uncertain tax positions

The effective tax rate on the loss from continuing operations was 17.6 percent and 2.2 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was attributable to pre-tax losses in such period. The tax benefit percentage for the three months ended September 30, 2020, was primarily attributable to the usage of previously unbenefited foreign tax credit carryovers, while the overall lower income tax benefit percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the second quarter discrete tax inclusion caused by the surrender of Company-owned life insurance (COLI) plans.
