Income Taxes Income Taxes
The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, were 22.6 percent and 26.1 percent, respectively. The net decrease in the effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to favorable changes in foreign exclusions, lower state and local income taxes, return-to-provision adjustments, and foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits. These were partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance and nondeductible compensation.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended September 28, 2025, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is primarily due to the unfavorable impact of nondeductible compensation, state and local income taxes, increases in the valuation allowance and foreign income inclusions net of foreign tax credits. These were partially offset by foreign exclusions and favorable return-to-provision adjustments.

The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended September 29, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is primarily due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, nondeductible compensation, nondeductible acquisition-related transaction costs and foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits. These were partially offset by favorable return-to-provision adjustments and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The effective income tax rates for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025 and September 29, 2024, were 23.4 percent and 24.6 percent, respectively. The net decrease in effective tax rate between the periods is primarily due to changes in foreign exclusions, lower state and local income taxes, and changes in foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits. These were partially offset by increases in the valuation allowance, nondeductible compensation, reductions in favorable return-to provision adjustments and the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested.
The difference between our effective income tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 28, 2025, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is primarily due to the unfavorable impact of nondeductible compensation, net changes in state and local income taxes, and increases in the valuation allowance. These were partially offset by foreign exclusions, favorable return-to-provision adjustments and the release of uncertain tax positions.

The difference between the Company’s effective income tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2024, and the U.S. statutory rate of 21.0 percent is primarily due to the unfavorable impact of state and local income taxes, foreign income inclusions with offsetting tax credits, nondeductible compensation and nondeductible acquisition-related transaction costs, partially offset by favorable return-to-provision adjustments, the stock compensation windfall benefit for shares which vested and the mix of earnings in jurisdictions with differing tax rates.


On July 4, 2025, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (“OBBBA”) was enacted into U.S. law. The OBBBA includes changes to several corporate tax provisions, including tax deductions for qualified research expenditures, changes to business interest expense limitations and bonus depreciation. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In 2024, certain jurisdictions in which we operate enacted, or announced their intention to enact, legislation consistent with one or
more Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (“Pillar Two”). The model rules include qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes, income inclusion rules, and undertaxed profit rules all aimed to ensure that multinationals pay a minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15 percent in each jurisdiction in which they operate, with some rules effective in 2024, 2025 or others becoming effective in 2026. The Pillar Two legislation, as enacted in certain jurisdictions in which we operate, does not materially impact our 2025 annual effective tax rate but is expected to unfavorably impact our annual effective tax rate in 2026. Further changes to our entity structure, enacted local legislation, or changes in jurisdictions in which we operate could also impact our future effective tax rate.
