At December 28, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $1.4 billion which can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company had interest expense carryforwards of approximately $383.9 million and $141.5 million for federal and state income tax purposes, which may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company had approximately $583.0 million of net operating loss carryforwards for state income tax purposes, $430.8 million of which expire in 2025 through 2044 and $152.2 million of which can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $273.6 million, $30.9 million of which expire in 2025 through 2038 and $242.7 million of which can be carried forward indefinitely. Also at December 28, 2024, the Company had U.S. federal and state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.4 million. As of December 28, 2024, the Company also had a valuation allowance of $86.9 million due to uncertainties in its ability to utilize certain of its state net operating loss and credit carryforwards, foreign net operating loss carryforwards and other foreign deferred tax assets. At December 28, 2024, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $10.8 million. All of the unrecognized tax benefits would favorably impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not believe that unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties, as appropriate, related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 28, 2024, interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $2.2 million. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):
| December 28, 2024 |  | December 30, 2023
Balance at beginning of Year | $ | 13,872 |  |  | $ | 17,842 |
Change in tax positions related to current year | (4,600) |  |  | (1,883) |
Change in tax positions related to prior years | 1,480 |  |  | (1,986) |
Change in tax positions due to settlement with tax authorities | — |  |  | — |
Expiration of the statute of limitations | — |  |  | (101) |
Balance at end of year | $ | 10,752 |  |  | $ | 13,872 |
In fiscal 2024, the Company’s major taxing jurisdictions are U.S. (federal and state), Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland. The Company is subject to regular examination by various tax authorities. Although the final outcome of these examinations is not yet determinable, the Company does not anticipate that any of the examinations will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. The statute of limitations for the Company’s major jurisdictions is open for varying periods, but is generally closed through the 2013 tax year. The Company expects to have access to its offshore earnings with minimal to no additional U.S. tax impact. Therefore, the Company does not consider these earnings to be permanently reinvested offshore. As of December 28, 2024, a deferred tax liability of approximately $16.5 million has been recorded for any incremental taxes, including foreign withholding taxes, that are estimated to be incurred when those earnings are distributed to the U.S. in future years. On August 16, 2022 the U.S. government enacted the IR Act that includes a new 15% alternative minimum tax based upon financial statement income (“book minimum tax”), a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks and tax incentives for energy and climate initiatives, among other provisions. The provisions of the IR Act are generally effective for periods after December 31, 2022 with no impact to our income tax provision or net deferred tax assets. The blender tax credits, which are refundable excise tax credits, expired on December 31, 2024. The CFPC, a transferable income tax credit, becomes effective from 2025 through 2027. We are currently assessing these tax incentives which could materially change our tax rate in future years. We will continue to evaluate the applicability and effect of the IR Act as more guidance is issued. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has a framework to implement a global minimum corporate income tax of 15% for companies with global revenues above certain thresholds (referred to as Pillar 2) that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries. While it is not expected that the U.S. will enact legislation to adopt Pillar 2, certain countries in which the Company operates have adopted Pillar 2 legislation or are in the process of introducing legislation to implement Pillar 2. Although the framework provides model rules for applying the minimum tax, countries may enact Pillar 2 differently than the model rules and on different timelines and may adjust their domestic tax incentives in response to Pillar 2. Since the Company does not have significant operations in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates below the 15% minimum, Pillar 2 did not have a material impact in 2024; however, we are evaluating the potential consequences of Pillar 2 on our longer-term financial position.
