During the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
, we purchased
4.1 million
shares of RESI common stock for
$48.2 million
(no comparative amounts in

The effective income tax rate increased to
23.6%
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
from
20.1%
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2016
(decreased to
25.0%
for the
third quarter
of
2017
from
39.0%
for the
third quarter
of
2016
). The effective income tax rate increase for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2017
was primarily due to changes in the expected mix of taxable income across the jurisdictions in which we operate. The lower effective income tax rate for the
third quarter
of
2017
was primarily the result of adjustments made in the third quarter of 2016 to true-up the tax provision from prior quarters. This was partially offset by higher pretax income in the third quarter of 2016, which, as discussed above, changed the mix of taxable income across the jurisdictions in which we operate.
