The Company’s effective tax rate for the three nine September 30, 2020 was 22.6% and 21.3% compared to the effective tax rate for the three nine September 30, 2019 of 15.5% and 19.8%. The effective tax rate for the three September 30, 2020 was higher than the September 30, 2019 effective tax rate primarily due to lower impact of tax benefits from equity compensation in the current period versus the prior period, the deferred tax impact of the tax rate increase in the United Kingdom that took place and was recorded in the current period, and favorable audit settlement benefits recognized in the prior period. These increases were partially offset by lower nondeductible earn-out expenses in the current period versus the prior period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was higher than the September 30, 2019 effective tax rate primarily due to the deferred tax impact of the tax rate increase in the United Kingdom that took place in and was recorded in the current period, favorable audit settlement benefits recognized in the prior period, and the tax expense recorded in the current period in connection with the Company’s disposition of its aerial imagery sourcing business resulting from differences in the book and tax basis of the assets and entities disposed of. These increases were partially offset by lower nondeductible earn-out expenses in the current period versus the prior period. The difference between statutory tax rates and the Company’s effective tax rate is primarily due to tax benefits attributable to equity compensation, offset by additional state and local taxes.
