10. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on the current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and is adjusted as necessary for discrete quarterly events. The effective income tax rate for the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 was 25.4% compared to 27.0% for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2023. The change in the effective tax rate, as compared to the prior period, is primarily due to a change in non-deductible executive compensation and international tax provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The effective income tax rate for the 26 weeks ended August 3, 2024 was 22.1% compared to 27.1% for the 26 weeks ended July 29, 2023. The change in the effective tax rate, as compared to the prior period, is primarily due to excess tax benefits on share-based payments and tax audit adjustments.

The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense, which were insignificant for both the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 and July 29, 2023. The Company recognizes income tax liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits in accordance with ASC 740 and adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Unrecognized tax benefits did not change significantly during either the 13 weeks ended August 3, 2024 or July 29, 2023. Over the next twelve months, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $15 million due to settlements, expiration of statute of limitations, or other changes in unrecognized tax benefits, which is expected to have an immaterial impact on the annual effective tax rate.
