INCOME TAX EXPENSE | 3 Months Ended

Sep. 27, 2015
INCOME TAX EXPENSE | NOTE 5 — INCOME TAX EXPENSE The Company recorded an income tax expense of $19.6 million for the three months ended September 27, 2015, which yielded an effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2015 of approximately 6.4%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% and the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2015 is primarily due to estimated higher income in lower tax jurisdictions and the recognition of a discrete tax benefit of the Altera court ruling, offset by the tax effect of non-deductible stock-based compensation and unrecognized tax benefits due to uncertain tax positions. In July 2015, the United States Tax Court (the “Court”) issued an opinion favorable to Altera Corporation (“Altera”) with respect to Altera’s litigation with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). The litigation relates to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an inter-company cost-sharing arrangement with Altera’s foreign subsidiary. In its opinion, the Court accepted Altera’s position of excluding stock based compensation from its inter-company cost-sharing arrangement. The Company has evaluated the impact of the court case and recorded a discrete tax benefit of $21.9 million in its consolidated financial statements for the three months ended September 27, 2015. However, the U.S Department of the Treasury has not withdrawn the requirement to include stock-based compensation from its regulations. The Company will continue to monitor this matter and related potential impacts to its financial statements.
