The effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 was lower than the effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 primarily due to an increase in discrete tax benefits and the geographic distribution of worldwide earnings. During fiscal 2025, the Company released a state valuation allowance of $3.3 million due to a tax law change and released tax reserves of $4.9 million following the closure of the statute of limitations. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 was largely consistent with the effective tax rate for fiscal 2023. During fiscal 2024, the company recognized a benefit of approximately $6.9 million as a result of making a U.S. method change impacting the timing of income recognition for advanced payments. This benefit was largely offset by a $4.0 million withholding tax accrual under the indefinite reinvestment assertion for one of its APAC subsidiaries. During fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a $2.8 million, $2.7 million and $5.7 million increase to its valuation allowance due to continuing losses in various jurisdictions in all operating segments, respectively. The components of the net deferred income tax assets as of September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, were as follows (in thousands):
|  | 2025 |  | 2024
Deferred income tax assets: |  |  |  |
Loss/credit carryforwards |  | $ | 37,418 |  |  | $ | 32,998 |
Inventories |  | 25,994 |  |  | 17,537 |
Accrued employee benefits |  | 20,048 |  |  | 16,805 |
Advanced payments from customers |  | 30,098 |  |  | 31,445 |
Lease obligations |  | 15,932 |  |  | 16,497 |
Research and development capitalization |  | 16,274 |  |  | 14,521 |

Net deferred income tax assets |  | $ | 85,349 |  |  | $ | 65,685 |
During fiscal 2025, the Company’s valuation allowance increased by $2.9 million, including the impact of foreign exchange movement. This increase is the result of increases to the valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets in the EMEA, AMER, and APAC regions of $1.2 million, $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively. As of September 27, 2025, the Company had approximately $252.5 million of pre-tax state net operating loss carryforwards that expire between fiscal 2026 and 2046. Certain state net operating losses have a full valuation allowance against them. The Company also had approximately $76.5 million of pre-tax foreign net operating loss carryforwards that expire between fiscal 2027 and 2034 or are indefinitely carried forward. Certain foreign net operating losses have a full valuation allowance against them. The Company has been granted a tax holiday for a foreign subsidiary in the APAC segment. This tax holiday will expire on December 31, 2034, and is subject to certain conditions. During fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, the tax holiday resulted in tax reductions, net of the impact of the GILTI provisions of U.S. Tax Reform, of approximately $43.1 million ($1.59 per basic share, $1.56 per diluted share), $37.3 million ($1.36 per basic share, $1.34 per diluted share) and $25.9 million ($0.94 per basic share, $0.92 per diluted share), respectively. The Company does not provide for taxes that would be payable if certain undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries were remitted because the Company considers these earnings to be permanently reinvested. The deferred tax liability that has not been recorded for these earnings was approximately $11.7 million as of September 27, 2025. The Company has approximately $19.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of September 27, 2025. The Company has classified these amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Other liabilities" (non-current) in the amount of $18.5 million and an offset to "Deferred income taxes" (non-current asset) in the amount of $0.6 million as the payment is not anticipated within one year. The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for the indicated fiscal years (in thousands):
|  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Balance at beginning of fiscal year |  | $ | 17,771 |  |  | $ | 13,950 |  |  | $ | 8,998 |
Gross increases for tax positions of prior years |  | 116 |  |  | 1,284 |  |  | 3,778 |
Gross increases for tax positions of the current year |  | 3,421 |  |  | 3,922 |  |  | 2,105 |
Gross decreases for tax positions of prior years |  | (4,076) |  |  | (1,385) |  |  | (931) |
Balance at end of fiscal year |  | $ | 17,232 |  |  | $ | 17,771 |  |  | $ | 13,950 |
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate is $18.5 million and $19.2 million for the fiscal years ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, respectively. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total accrued penalties and net accrued interest with respect to income taxes was approximately $1.8 million as of September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, and approximately $1.1 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company recognized less than $0.1 million of expense for accrued penalties and net accrued interest in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for fiscal 2025, $0.7 million for fiscal 2024 and $0.6 million for fiscal 2023. Within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that federal, state and foreign tax audit resolutions could reduce unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $3.7 million, either because the Company’s tax positions are sustained on audit, the Company agrees to their disallowance or the statute of limitations closes. The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with federal, state, local and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The following tax years remain subject to examination by the respective major tax jurisdictions:
