15. Income Taxes

​

For the three and nine months ended January 28, 2023, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $(531,000) and $(8,382,000) yielding an effective tax rate of 67.2% and 38.3%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended January 29, 2022, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $(15,396,000) and $(25,864,000) yielding an effective tax rate of 98.7% and 69.1%, respectively. Historically, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) for the full fiscal year to the pretax income or loss for the interim reporting period. For the three and nine months ended January 28, 2023, the Company calculated the provision for income taxes using a discrete effective tax rate (“ETR”) method. The Company determined that due to the fact small changes in the Company’s estimated pretax income or loss would result in significant changes in the estimated AETR, the historical method would not provide a reliable estimate for the three and nine months ended January 28, 2023. The variance from statutory rates for the three and nine months ended January 28, 2023 was primarily due to a combination of federal R&D credits, the foreign-derived intangible income deduction and discrete excess tax benefits resulting from the vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options. The variance from statutory rates for the three and nine months ended January 29, 2022 was primarily due to federal R&D credits and the recording of discrete excess tax benefits resulting from the vesting of restricted stock awards and exercises of stock options.
