Our effective tax rate was 11.9% and 15.2% for the 13 weeks ended September 26, 2023 and September 27, 2022, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 12.9% and 14.2% for the 39 weeks ended September 26, 2023 and September 27, 2022, respectively. The reduction in our tax rate for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 26, 2023 as compared to the prior year periods was primarily driven by an increase in the FICA tip credit benefit along with an increase in the excess tax benefit for stock compensation.
