The valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 was $56.2 million and $55.6 million, respectively. The net increase in the total valuation allowance during fiscal 2024 was $0.6 million. The valuation allowance for both years is primarily related to U.S. state and local net operating loss carryforwards as well as a valuation allowance against state deferred tax assets for certain U.S. legal entities, U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards, foreign net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income in foreign jurisdictions as well as state and local tax jurisdictions, and capital gains in the U.S. tax jurisdiction. The current year change in the valuation allowance results in a decrease against the state deferred tax assets of $0.4 million, an increase related to state net operating loss carryforward of $3.9 million, a decrease related to U.S. federal capital loss carryforward of $0.4 million, and a net decrease relating to the foreign net operating losses and foreign tax credits and other deferred tax assets of $2.5 million.
At December 28, 2024, the Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $33.3 million, which have expirations ranging from 2025 to an unlimited term during which they are available to offset future foreign taxable income. The Company had U.S. federal capital loss carryforwards, federal net operating loss carryforwards and Internal Revenue Code section 163(j) interest expense carryforwards of $103.5 million, $44.1 million, and $107.9 million respectively, which have expirations ranging from 2029 to an unlimited term during which they are available to offset future U.S. federal taxable income. The Company had state net operating loss carryforwards and Internal Revenue Code section 163(j) interest expense carryforwards of $302.8 million and $114.6 million respectively, which have expirations ranging from 2025 to an unlimited term during which they are available to offset future state taxable income. The Company also had tax credit carryforwards in foreign jurisdictions of $2.6 million, which are available for an unlimited carryforward period to offset future foreign taxes.
The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits:
Fiscal Year
(In millions)20242023
Unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of the year$2.6 $9.0 
Increases related to current year tax positions0.2 0.3 
Decreases related to prior year positions— (5.1)
Decreases relating to settlements with taxing authorities(0.7)(0.7)
Decrease due to lapse of statute(0.5)(0.9)
Unrecognized tax benefits at end of the year$1.6 $2.6 
The portion of the unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized currently, would reduce the annual effective tax rate was $1.6 million and $2.6 million as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits through interest expense and income tax expense, respectively. Interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits was $0.3 million and $0.5 million as of December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively.
The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both domestic and foreign tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits. However, any payment of tax is not expected to be material to the consolidated financial statements. For the majority of tax jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020.
The Company intends to repatriate cash held in foreign jurisdictions and as such has recorded a deferred tax liability related to additional state taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the future dividends received in the U.S. from the foreign subsidiaries of $1.5 million and $1.1 million for fiscal years 2024 and 2023. The Company intends to permanently reinvest all non-cash undistributed earnings outside of the U.S. and has, therefore, not established a deferred tax liability on the amount of non-cash foreign undistributed earnings of $37.9 million at December 28, 2024. However, if these non-cash undistributed earnings were repatriated, the Company would be required to accrue and pay applicable U.S. taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of the deferred tax liability associated with these non-cash unremitted earnings due to the complexity of the hypothetical calculation.
