14. Income Taxes

​

For the three and six months ended October 28, 2023, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1,137,000 and $2,451,000, respectively, yielding an effective tax rate of 5.6% for both periods. For the three and six months ended October 29, 2022, the Company recorded a benefit from income taxes of $(10,457,000) and $(7,851,000) yielding an effective tax rate of 66.1% and 37.2%, respectively. The variance from statutory rates for the three and six months ended October 28, 2023 was primarily due to foreign derived intangible income deductions and to federal R&D credits. 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 six months ended October 29, 2022, 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 six months ended October 29, 2022. The variance from statutory rates for the three and six months ended October 29, 2022 was primarily due to a combination of federal R&D credits and the foreign-derived intangible income deduction.
