The Company's effective income tax rate for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2017 was 18.9% and (70.2)%, respectively, compared to an effective income tax rate of 56.9% and (21.4)% in the prior-year periods. Our tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 34.0% primarily due to the effects of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets and certain permanent item differences between tax and financial reporting purposes.
