The Company recorded income tax benefit of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to income tax expense of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company's effective tax rate was 17% and (1%) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to a change in valuation allowance.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted and signed into U.S. law in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and among other things, permits the carryback of certain net operating losses. As a result of the enacted legislation, the Company recognized a $5.2 million net tax expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which consisted of a $12.3 million deferred tax expense and a $7.2 million current tax benefit. This impact, along with the rate impact from non-deductible goodwill impairment, was the primary driver for the difference between the statutory rate of 21% and the effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
