We formed the Electrified Power Segment effective January 1, 2018. Our Electrified Power segment provides fully electric and hybrid powertrain solutions along with innovative components and subsystems to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification, meeting the needs of our original equipment manufacturer partners and end customers.

Includes intersegment sales, intersegment profit in inventory eliminations and unallocated corporate expenses. There were no significant unallocated corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017.

Depreciation and amortization, as shown on a segment basis, excludes the amortization of debt discount and deferred costs included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as "Interest expense." The amortization of debt discount and deferred costs was $1 million and $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and October 1, 2017. A portion of depreciation expense is included in "Research, development and engineering expense."

INCOME TAXES
 
Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 21.0 percent, excluding any discrete tax items that may arise. Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, were 13.3 percent and 22.8 percent, respectively.
The three months ended September 30, 2018, contained $37 million, or $0.23 per share, of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $34 million of favorable discrete items related to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Legislation) and $3 million of other favorable discrete items.
The three month effective tax rate of 13.3 percent includes the nine month adjustment for decreasing our expected full year effective tax rate to 21.0 percent and diluted earnings per share benefited $0.26.

The nine months ended September 30, 2018, contained $37 million, or $0.23 per share, of unfavorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $48 million of unfavorable discrete items related to the Tax Legislation, partially offset by $11 million of other favorable discrete items.
Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2017, were 26.5 percent and 26.3 percent, respectively and contained only immaterial discrete tax items.
The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018, versus the comparable period in 2017, was primarily due to lower U.S. tax rates and favorable discrete changes associated with the Tax Legislation. The change in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, versus the comparable period in 2017, was primarily due to lower U.S. tax rates associated with Tax Legislation.

FINANCIAL MEASURES THAT SUPPLEMENT GAAP
(Unaudited)

 
 
 
 
Reconciliation of Non GAAP measures - Earnings before interest, income taxes, noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA)

Effective January 1, 2018, we use EBITDA as a primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments and our consolidated results. It is also a component in measuring our variable compensation programs. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure for our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard for financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. Our 2017 and 2016 EBITDA measures, as restated, were as follows:
