Income Taxes Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was approximately 25% and 26% on income from continuing operations for the nine months ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended October 3, 2025 and September 27, 2024 as compared to the U.S. statutory rate of 21%, was primarily affected by the rate differential on our foreign earnings and the impact of state and local taxes in the U.S.

During the nine months ended October 3, 2025, the effective tax rate was also affected by a resolution reached with tax authorities regarding the jurisdiction of taxable income in certain tax years prior to 2016. As a result of this resolution, we released previously reserved uncertain tax positions and recognized additional tax positions regarding the jurisdiction of taxable income in tax years after 2016.

On July 4, 2025, the reconciliation bill H.R. 1 was enacted into law in the U.S. H.R.1 includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including the elective deduction for domestic Research and Development (R&D), a reinstatement of elective 100% first-year bonus depreciation and changes to the interest limitation calculation under 163(j), among other provisions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the H.R. 1 tax provisions which could affect the Company's effective tax rate and deferred tax assets in 2025 and future periods. A quantitative estimate of the specific financial effects cannot be reasonably determined at this time due to the complexity of the changes in the tax reform and optionality of voluntary elections.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025 was $139 million and $142 million, respectively. The remaining valuation allowance is primarily related to foreign tax credit carryforwards and foreign and state net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, do not meet the more likely than not realization threshold. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income, in the appropriate character and source, during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible or within the remaining carryforward period. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment.
The utilization of the unreserved foreign tax credit carryforwards is based on our ability to generate income from foreign sources of approximately $71 million prior to their expiration. The utilization of other net deferred tax assets, excluding those associated with indefinite-lived intangible assets, is based on our ability to generate U.S. forecasted taxable income of approximately $990 million. Changes in our forecasted taxable income, in the appropriate character and source, as well as jurisdiction, could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets.

The provision for uncertain tax positions included in other liabilities and deferred income taxes on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 3, 2025 and January 3, 2025 was $78 million and $85 million, respectively.
