INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate each quarterly reporting period. Tax expense or benefit in interim periods is computed by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to income or loss, and is adjusted for the tax effect of items of income and expense discretely reported in the period. The estimated annual effective tax rate used in determining income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. When changes to the estimated annual effective tax rate occur, the prior interim year-to-date tax expense or tax benefit is adjusted to reflect the revised estimated annual effective tax rate. Any adjustment is recorded in the period in which the change occurs.
For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $15.8 million and $53.8 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (44.4)% and (28.3)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2025 differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.
For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1.6 million and income tax expense of $24.3 million, respectively, resulting in effective tax rates of (1.8)% and 21.0%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2024 differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of previously unrecognized foreign deferred tax assets, remeasurement of uncertain tax positions, tax credits, and state income taxes, partially offset by non-deductible expenses and U.S. tax on foreign earnings. For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, the primary drivers are consistent with those discussed above, which in aggregate result in an effective tax rate equivalent to the U.S. statutory tax rate of 21%.
The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and the impact on income tax expense, which may require periodic adjustments, and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company's unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. However, based on the uncertainties associated with finalizing audits with the relevant tax authorities including formal legal proceedings, it is not possible to reasonably estimate the impact of any such change.
