Income Taxes Income Taxes
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, 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.

For the three months ended December 28, 2024, the Company recorded income tax expense of $46.5 million resulting in an effective tax rate of 18.8%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 28, 2024 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the U.S. deduction for foreign derived intangible income, the geographic mix of income earned by the Company’s international subsidiaries, which are generally taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate, and federal and state tax credits, partially offset by U.S. tax on foreign earnings.

For the three months ended December 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $55.2 million resulting in an effective tax rate of (28.9)%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 30, 2023 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to a $107.2 million discrete tax benefit related to a worthless stock deduction on the investment in one of the Company’s international subsidiaries.

Non-Income Tax Matters

The Company is subject to tax examinations for value added, sales-based, payroll and other non-income tax items. A number of these examinations are ongoing in various jurisdictions. The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates and records loss contingencies pursuant to ASC 450. Such amounts were not material for any of the periods presented. In the normal course of business, the Company's positions and conclusions related to its non-income tax positions could be challenged, resulting in assessments by governmental authorities. While the Company believes estimated losses previously recorded are reasonable, certain audits are still ongoing and additional charges could be recorded in the future.
