9.  INCOME TAXES    

Our effective tax rates were 23.2 percent and 20.5 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, were 22.2 percent and 21.2 percent, respectively.  The higher 2020 tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due to a smaller impact related to the discrete tax benefit for share-based compensation.

A tax benefit of $1.4 million and $6.9 million related to share-based compensation was recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as a discrete item in income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

At June 30, 2020, the net deferred tax liability of $169.8 million consisted of net long-term deferred tax assets of $4.4 million and net long-term deferred tax liabilities of $174.2 million.  The decrease in the net deferred tax liability was primarily related to the adoption of ASU 2016-13.
