12. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rates for the thirty-nine and thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024 were 22.3% and 22.6%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the thirty-nine and thirteen weeks ended September 30, 2023 were 21.7% and 20.9%, respectively.

The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to state income taxes and foreign income taxed at higher rates, partially offset by favorable benefits related to a valuation allowance release, provision to return adjustments, decreases in uncertain tax positions, and tax credits.

The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily relates to state income taxes and foreign income taxed at higher rates, partially offset by favorable benefits related to provision to return adjustments and tax credits.

In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (“OECD”), with the support of over 130 countries, endorsed a framework (“Pillar Two”), which includes establishing a 15 percent global minimum corporate tax rate on a country-by-country basis. Numerous countries have adopted legislation in support of Pillar Two or are in the process of doing so, with certain rules that became effective on January 1, 2024, and the remainder becoming effective on January 1, 2025. The Company is continuing to monitor and evaluate Pillar Two legislation and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s tax liability in 2024.
