During fiscal 2017, the Company revalued the net deferred tax liability position in its U.S. subsidiaries, to reflect the change in the statutory federal corporate income tax rate that took effect at the beginning of 2018, resulting in an income tax recovery of $1.6 million. In addition, the Company incurred a net deferred tax expense of $3.3 million in fiscal 2017 relating to an internal organizational realignment of its Branded Apparel business unit, consisting of a $56.5 million increase in the non-recognition of deferred income tax assets and a $9.0 million reduction in deferred income tax assets relating to the reversal of temporary differences, less a $62.2 million revaluation of deferred income tax liabilities. In fiscal 2018, pursuant to additional phases to the internal reorganization, the Company reassessed the recoverability of its deferred income tax assets in the respective jurisdictions affected, resulting in an increase in deferred tax expense of $6.1 million for assets that were no longer probable of being realized. The fiscal 2018 deferred income tax expense also included $2.0 million for the revaluation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities due to changes in statutory income tax rates. 18.

As at December 30, 2018, the Company has tax credits, capital and non-capital loss carryforwards, and other deductible temporary differences available to reduce future taxable income for tax purposes representing a tax benefit of approximately $85.7 million, for which no deferred tax asset has been recognized (December 31, 2017 - $67.2 million), because the criteria for recognition of the tax asset was not met. The tax credits and capital and non-capital loss carryforwards expire between 2019 and 2038. The recognized deferred tax asset is supported by projections of future profitability of the Company. The Company has not recognized a deferred income tax liability for the undistributed profits of subsidiaries operating in foreign jurisdictions, as the Company currently has no intention to repatriate these profits. If expectations or intentions change in the future, the Company may be subject to an additional tax liability upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise. As at December 30, 2018, a deferred income tax liability of approximately $74 million would result from the recognition of the taxable temporary differences of approximately $343 million.
