The Company has historically recorded its interim period provision for income taxes by applying a forecasted annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings and adjusting for discrete items. However, due to the level of forecasted provision for income taxes relative to the forecasted pre-tax income used in computing the effective tax rate, the effective tax rate is highly sensitive to fluctuations in pre-tax income and does not provide a reasonable estimate for income taxes in the interim period. As such, the Company has computed its provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 using an actual year-to-date tax calculation. The Company plans to revert to applying a forecasted annual effective tax rate to year-to-date earnings and adjusting for discrete items once that method produces more reasonable results.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2025 differed from the statutory federal corporate tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes, the effect of non-deductible stock-based compensation for executive officers, excess tax expense from stock-based compensation offset by the favorable impact of U.S. federal research tax credits and the U.S. tax impact of foreign operations. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2024 differed from the statutory federal corporate tax rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and the effect of non-deductible stock-based compensation for executive officers offset by the favorable impact of U.S. federal research tax credits, excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and the U.S. tax impact of foreign operations.
The Company maintained a valuation allowance of $30.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025, compared to $29.9 million for the three months ended March 30, 2024, on certain U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets that the Company believes are not more likely than not to be realized in future periods.
The Company considered scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, historic profitability, projected future taxable income, ongoing tax planning strategies and other matters, including the period over which its deferred tax assets will be recoverable, in assessing the need for and the amount of the valuation allowance. In the event that actual results differ from these estimates, or if the Company decides to adjust these estimates in the future periods, further adjustments to its valuation allowance may be recorded, which could materially impact the Company’s financial position and net income in the period of the adjustment.
In December 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development enacted model rules for a new global minimum tax framework (“Pillar Two”), and certain governments in countries which the Company operates have enacted local Pillar Two legislation, with an effective date from January 1, 2024. The Company currently does not expect Pillar Two to have a material impact on its financial statements.
