As of October 27, 2024, the Company had $362.6 million of undistributed earnings from non-U.S. subsidiaries. The Company maintains all earnings as permanently reinvested. Accordingly, no additional income taxes have been provided for withholding tax, state tax, or other taxes. Total income taxes paid during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022 were $186.4 million, $205.0 million, and $93.1 million, respectively. Fiscal year 2024 included amounts paid for the purchase of federal transferable energy credits. The changes in unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for fiscal years 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

Unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, are recorded in Other Long-term Liabilities on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. If recognized as of October 27, 2024, these benefits would impact the Company’s effective tax rate by $15.9 million compared to $17.0 million as of October 29, 2023. The Company includes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in Provision for Income Taxes, with immaterial expenses included during fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022. The amount of accrued interest and penalties at October 27, 2024 and October 29, 2023, associated with unrecognized tax benefits was $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Tax Examinations: The Company is regularly audited by federal, state, and foreign taxing authorities. The IRS concluded its examination of fiscal 2021 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The IRS placed the Company in the Bridge phase of the Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) for fiscal years 2020 and 2023. In this phase, the IRS will not accept any disclosures, conduct any reviews, or provide any assurances. The Company has elected to participate in CAP for fiscal years through 2025. The objective of CAP is to contemporaneously work with the IRS to achieve federal tax compliance and resolve all or most of the issues prior to filing of the tax return. The Company may elect to continue participating in CAP for future tax years; the Company may withdraw from the program at any time. The Company is in various stages of audit by several state taxing authorities on a variety of fiscal years, as far back as 2015. While it is reasonably possible that one or more of these audits may be completed within the next 12 months and the related unrecognized tax benefits may change based on the status of the examinations, as of October 27, 2024, it was not possible to reasonably estimate the effect of any amount of such change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to various examinations by foreign tax authorities. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to foreign tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2018 for material jurisdictions. Tax Legislation: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) was signed into law on August 16, 2022. The IRA made several changes to the U.S. tax code, including a 15% corporate minimum tax which applied to the Company beginning in fiscal year 2024 and did not have a material impact on the provision for income taxes or financial statements. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development created a Pillar Two Framework, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15%. The Company is evaluating the potential impact on future fiscal periods, pending legislative adoption by individual countries.
