Income Taxes Note 12. Income Taxes

During the twenty-six-week period ended February 27, 2021, there were no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits.

The effective tax rate was 24.5% for the twenty-six-week period ended February 27, 2021, as compared to 25.0% for the twenty-six-week period ended February 29, 2020. The decrease in rate was primarily due to discrete items during the twenty-six-week period ended February 27, 2021, relating to the impairment loss and inventory write-downs discussed in Note 10 “Asset Impairments,” the restructuring costs described in Note 9 “Restructuring Costs,” and lower non-deductible travel and entertainment expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
