Income Taxes Income Taxes
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of its annual effective income tax rate. Tax expense in interim periods is calculated at the estimated annual effective tax rate plus or minus the tax effects of items of income and expense that are discrete to the period. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods.
The following table provides details of income taxes:

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025 of 22% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by excess tax benefits of share-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 of 23% was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to state tax expense, partially offset by excess tax benefits of share-based compensation.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 of 19% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments, excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by state tax expense. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 of 18% was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments (inclusive of the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allows for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return), excess tax benefits of share-based compensation, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions, partially offset by the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in 2024 and state tax expense.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 27, 2025 of 22% was higher than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 of 19%, primarily due to non-deductible transaction costs related to the acquisition of Silvus, favorable U.S. return-to-provision adjustments from implementing a business initiative in 2024, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024, partially offset by higher excess tax benefits of share-based compensation in 2025. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 27, 2025 of 23% was higher than the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 of 18%, primarily due to the tax benefit recognized upon the Company's decision to implement a business initiative in 2024 which allowed for additional utilization of foreign tax credit carryforwards and a higher foreign derived intangible income deduction on its 2023 U.S. tax return, and tax benefits recognized upon settlement of audits with taxing authorities in foreign jurisdictions in 2024, partially offset by the non-tax deductible loss on the extinguishment of the Silver Lake Convertible Debt in 2024.
On July 4, 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" was enacted into law, introducing a broad range of changes to the U.S. corporate income tax framework. The legislation includes business provisions that impact the Company's tax position, including tax cut extensions and modifications to the international tax framework and corporate income tax deductions. The Company has evaluated the effects of these changes on its income tax provision, income tax payable, and deferred tax asset balances, which are reflected in this quarter's results. As of the three months ended September 27, 2025, the 2025 impact of the enacted legislation on the Company's tax position was not material. The Company will continue to recognize the effects of the legislation in accordance with the effective dates of the applicable provisions, and plans to continue to assess the ongoing impact of this legislation as further guidance is made available.
