Income Taxes The Company’s effective income tax rate was 31.0% and 38.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and (63.2%) and 80.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of the disposition of the Donnelley Financial and LSC retained shares. The retained shares of Donnelley Financial were disposed in non-taxable debt-for-equity exchanges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. See Note 15, Debt, for additional details regarding the dispositions of the Donnelley Financial retained shares of common stock. The sale of LSC shares generated a capital loss which will be carried forward; however, it is more likely than not that the benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized and a valuation allowance was recorded. See Note 2, Discontinued Operations, for additional information regarding the sale of the LSC retained shares. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 reflects the impact of the impairment of goodwill in the DCS reporting unit and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 reflects the impact of income generated in higher taxing jurisdictions and the inability to recognize a tax benefit on certain losses.
