Income tax expense decreased by $16.8 million to an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to income tax expense of $16.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s effective tax rate ("ETR") was (19.0)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 29.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The change in the ETR was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's jurisdictional mix of earnings, as well as a discrete tax benefit related to a reduction of foreign withholding taxes.
Income tax expense decreased by $21.5 million to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $28.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s ETR was 35.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 27.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in the ETR was primarily driven by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's jurisdictional mix of earnings, as well as discrete tax benefits related to both a reduction of foreign withholding taxes and a reduction in tax benefits related to share-based compensation expense.
