6. INCOME TAXES

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.

For the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024, the Company reported income tax expense of $12.4 million and $31.6 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 24.9% and 22.4%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 includes $3.3 million of discrete tax benefit, primarily related to stock compensation windfalls. The discrete benefit also includes other items such as provision to return differences.

For the three and nine months ended December 30, 2023, the Company reported income tax expense of $12.8 million and $31.3 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 29.0% and 24.3%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 30, 2023 includes $1.1 million of discrete tax benefit, of which $2.6 million relates to stock compensation windfalls, partially offset by other discrete items.

The decrease in the reported tax rate for the three months ended December 28, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, relates primarily to the decrease in non-deductible acquisition-related expenses. The decrease in the reported tax rate for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, compared to the same period in fiscal 2024, relates primarily to increased discrete tax benefits year-over-year and decreased non-deductible acquisition-related expenses.
