The Company conducts business globally and reports its results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. The Company’s reported tax rate differs from the statutory tax rate due to the jurisdictional mix of earnings in any given period as the foreign jurisdictions in which it operates have tax rates that differ from the U.S. statutory tax rate. The Company’s effective tax rate is adversely impacted by non-deductible expenses including executive compensation and transaction costs, and is favorably impacted by changes in contingent consideration revaluation, the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to certain uncertain tax position reserves, jurisdictional mix of earnings, impact of foreign tax law changes and research credits generated. The Company’s subsidiary in Malaysia has been granted a full income tax exemption on manufacturing income that could be in effect for up to ten years, provided certain conditions are satisfied. The income tax exemption was in effect beginning June 1, 2016. Tax effected, significant temporary differences comprising the net deferred tax liability are as follows:

The valuation allowance increase of $1.7 million during fiscal 2025 is primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance against foreign deferred tax assets and other income tax attributes generated during the fiscal year that are expected to expire unutilized. The Company has assessed, on a jurisdictional basis, the available means of recovering deferred tax assets, including the ability to carry-back net operating losses, the existence of reversing temporary differences, the availability of tax planning strategies and available sources of future taxable income. It has also considered the ability to implement certain strategies that would, if necessary, be implemented to accelerate taxable income and use expiring deferred tax assets. The Company has concluded future taxable income can be considered a source of income to realize a benefit for deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions. The Company believes it is able to support the deferred tax assets recognized as of the end of the year based on all of the available evidence. The worldwide net deferred tax liability as of March 29, 2025 includes deferred tax liabilities related to amortizable tax basis in goodwill and other indefinite lived assets, which can only be used as a source of income to benefit other indefinite lived deferred tax assets. As of March 29, 2025, the Company maintains a valuation allowance against certain U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards and U.S. state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards that are not more-likely-than-not realizable, as well as a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of certain foreign subsidiaries. In connection with certain acquisitions, the Company has acquired net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, which may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership interest of significant shareholders over a three-year period in excess of 50 percent as defined under Section 382 and 383 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, respectively, as well as similar state provisions. The amount of the annual limitation is determined based on the value of the Company immediately prior to the ownership change. The Company conducted Section 382 studies covering the periods of inception through the respective acquisition dates. The studies concluded that ownership changes occurred during those periods which limit the amount of the Company’s net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards that can be utilized before expiring. The remaining carryforwards disclosed in the deferred tax table above represent the amount of attributes that can be utilized based on the results of the studies. The Company does not believe it has had any additional ownership change that would result in additional limitation. Subsequent ownership changes may further affect the limitation in future years. As of March 29, 2025, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of $6.7 million, all of which will begin to expire in fiscal 2026. The Company has U.S. state net operating losses of $56.8 million of which $56.0 million will expire at various times between fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2044 and $0.8 million can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has federal and state tax credits of $0.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively, which will begin to expire in fiscal 2030 and fiscal 2026, respectively. As of March 29, 2025, the Company has Canadian federal and provincial net operating loss carryforwards of $9.4 million and $7.7 million, respectively, which will expire from fiscal 2036 through fiscal 2045. The Company has other foreign net operating losses of approximately $4.0 million that are available to reduce future income which can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has foreign research tax credits of $1.3 million which will begin to expire in fiscal 2027. As of March 29, 2025, substantially all of the unremitted earnings of the Company have been taxed in the U.S. The Company has not provided U.S. deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries of approximately $90.8 million as such amounts are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in the business. The accumulated earnings in the foreign subsidiaries are primarily utilized to fund working capital requirements as its subsidiaries continue to expand their operations and to fund future foreign acquisitions. The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes payable on the earnings that are indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, however a significant portion of the unremitted earnings could be remitted without a future tax cost. The income tax provision differs from the tax provision computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due to the following:

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $44.4 million, representing an effective tax rate of 20.9%. The effective tax rate is unfavorably impacted by state taxes, non-deductible executive compensation and disallowed stock compensation and transaction expenses, offset by the favorable impact of changes in contingent consideration revaluation, the expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to certain uncertain tax position reserves, jurisdictional mix of earnings, impact of foreign tax law changes and research credits generated. The 15% global minimum tax under the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion Rule is currently effective in certain jurisdictions in which we operate. The OECD continues to issue guidance on the Pillar Two framework and various countries continue to enact legislation with respect to their application of the framework. We have considered the Pillar Two rules in effect in the countries in which we operate and have reflected the effect of the rules in the impact of foreign operations. Unrecognized Tax Benefits Unrecognized tax benefits represent uncertain tax positions for which reserves have been established. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had $2.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $1.8 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of March 30, 2024, the Company had $3.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $3.1 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of April 1, 2023, the Company had $3.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $3.2 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. The following table summarizes the activity related to its gross unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years ended March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023:
(In thousands) | March 29, 2025 |  | March 30, 2024 |  | April 1, 2023
Beginning Balance | $ | 3,743 |  |  | $ | 3,941 |  |  | $ | 3,939 |
Additions for tax positions of the current year | 315 |  |  | 234 |  |  | 292 |
Additions for tax positions of a prior year | 1,242 |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Additions for tax positions related to acquired businesses | 91 |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Reductions of tax positions | (64) |  |  | (198) |  |  | (290) |
Expiration of statute of limitations | (2,505) |  |  | (234) |  |  | — |
Ending Balance | $ | 2,822 |  |  | $ | 3,743 |  |  | $ | 3,941 |
As of March 29, 2025, the Company anticipates that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions could change by an insignificant amount in the next twelve months. The Company’s historical practice has been and continues to be to recognize interest and penalties related to federal, state and foreign income tax matters in income tax expense. Approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million of gross interest and penalties were accrued at March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, and are not included in the amounts above. Additionally, a benefit of $0.3 million, an expense of $0.1 million, and an expense of $0.1 million of accrued interest and penalties were included in the income tax provision for each of the years ended March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023, respectively. The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, files federal, state and foreign income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, it is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examinations for years before fiscal 2022 and foreign income tax examinations for years before fiscal 2020. To the extent that the Company has tax attribute carry-forwards, the tax years in which the attribute was generated may still be adjusted upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service, state, or foreign tax authorities to the extent utilized in a future period.
