The effective income tax rates on the net loss before income taxes of 10.6% and 19.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and (8.4)% and (10.7)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate after considering any discrete items for such periods. The effective tax rate benefit in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was unfavorably impacted by a nondeductible goodwill impairment. As a result of the release of the valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets during the December 2014 quarter, the estimated annual effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included the benefit of the U.S. tax loss.
Our effective income tax rate on foreign earnings is impacted by the mix of income and the statutory tax rates in our foreign jurisdictions, which range from a low of 0% to a high of 35%. The foreign jurisdictions that had the most impact on our foreign income tax expense (benefit) in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included Australia, Bermuda, Canada, Ireland, India and the U.K.
