Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period, and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three month period ended December 27, 2014 was 33.8% compared to a provision of 277.1% on a pre-tax loss for the corresponding period in the prior year. For the current three month period, the effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the domestic production activities deduction. For the three months ended December 28, 2013, the tax rate was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to unbenefited foreign losses.
