Income Taxes
The Company’s effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 14.8% and 6.0% for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 15.2% and 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2017, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the quarter and six months ended July 1, 2017 was primarily due to certain provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), specifically the base-broadening provision which imposed a new minimum tax on global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”).
The recently enacted Tax Act significantly revised U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, reducing the federal income tax rate to 21% and implementing a modified territorial tax system that includes a one-time transition tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. In response to the Tax Act, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) which allows issuers to recognize provisional estimates of the impact of the Tax Act in their financial statements, or in circumstances where estimates cannot be made, to disclose and recognize at a later date. For the year ended December 30, 2017, the Company included in its financial statements provisional charges for the revaluation of the Company’s net domestic deferred tax assets, the transition tax, as well as other less material provisions of the Tax Act.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the Tax Act on being partially reinvested with respect to prior year undistributed earnings. A provisional charge of $4,659 was recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 for actual and planned permanent repatriations; however, the Company is continuing to evaluate the overall impact of its partial permanent reinvestment assertion. Furthermore, a provisional benefit of $4,022 was recognized related to the refinement of the Company’s transition tax. There are no additional changes at this time to the provisional amounts recorded as of the year ended December 30, 2017. The accounting is expected to be completed and disclosed within the one-year measurement period as allowed by SAB 118.
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company finalized its accounting policy decision with respect to the new GILTI tax rules, and has concluded that GILTI will be treated as a periodic charge in the year in which it arises, and will not record deferred taxes for the basis associated with GILTI earnings.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recorded a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit of $17,643, related to the acquisition of Bras N Things, as part of purchase accounting.
