Our effective tax rate decreased to 13.7% for the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2019 compared to 15.6% for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 2018. This decrease was primarily driven by higher FICA tip credits and lower non-deductible officers’ compensation partially offset by lower excess tax benefits related to our share-based compensation program. For the 26 weeks ended June 25, 2019 our effective tax rate increased to 14.3% compared to 14.2% for the 26 weeks ended June 25, 2018. This increase was primarily driven by lower excess tax benefits related to our share-based compensation program partially offset by higher FICA tip credits.
