Income Taxes [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | 6 Income Taxes The four principal jurisdictions in which the Company manufactures are the U.S., Ireland, the United Kingdom and Singapore, where the marginal effective tax rates were approximately 37.5%, 12.5%, 20% and 0%, respectively, as of April 2, 2016. The Company has a contractual tax rate in Singapore of 0% through March 2021, based upon the achievement of certain contractual milestones, which the Company expects to continue to meet. The current statutory tax rate in Singapore is 17%. For the first quarter of 2016, the effect of applying the contractual tax rate in Singapore, as compared with applying the statutory tax rate, increased net income by $4 million and increased net income per diluted share by $0.05. The Company's effective tax rate was 11.8% and 15.3% for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2016 as compared to 2015 can be attributed to a quarter-specific tax benefit associated with modifications to certain stock compensation awards. In addition, the income tax provision fo r 2015 included a quarter-specific tax provision related to a pending tax audit settlement. The remaining differences between the effective tax rate in 2016 and 2015 were primarily attributable to differences in the proportionate amounts of pre-tax income recognized in jurisdictions with different effective tax rates. The Company accounts for its uncertain tax return reporting positions in accordan ce with the accounting standards for income taxes, which require financial statement reporting of the expected future tax consequences of uncertain tax reporting positions on the presumption that all concerned tax authoriti es possess full knowledge of those tax reporting positions, as well as all of the pertinent facts and circumstances, but prohibit any discounting of u nrecognized tax benefits associated with those reporting positions for the time value of money. The following is a summary of the activity of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 (in thousands):
|  |  | April 2, 2016 |  | April 4, 2015
Balance at the beginning of the period |  | $ | 14,450 |  | $ | 19,596
| Net changes in uncertain tax benefits |  |  | (790) |  |  | 933
Balance at the end of the period |  | $ | 13,660 |  | $ | 20,529
With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax audit examinations in significant jurisdictions for the years ended on or before December 31, 20 1 2. However, carryforward tax attributes that were generated in years beginning on or before January 1, 201 3 may still be adjusted upon examination by tax authorities if the attributes are utilized. The Company continuously monitors the lapsing of statutes of limitations on potential tax assessments for related changes in the measurement of unrecognized tax benefits, related net interest and penalties, and deferred tax assets and liabilities. As of April 2, 2016, the Company expects to record additional reductions in the measurement of its unrecognized tax benefits and related net interest and penalties of approximately $6 million within the next twelve months due to potential tax audit settlements and the lapsing of statutes of limitations on potential tax assessments. The Company does not expect to record any other material reductions in the measurement of its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
