3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2021

The calculation of our effective tax rate is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands, except percentages):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021			2020
Income before income taxes	$	62,027		$	71,368
Income tax expense	$	11,975		$	13,967
Effective tax rate	19.3		%	19.6		%

The effective tax rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% due primarily to statutory depletion allowed on mineral royalty income.
