Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company’s tax provision and the resulting effective tax rate for interim periods is determined based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate ("AETR"), adjusted for the effect of discrete items arising in that quarter. The impact of such inclusions could result in a higher or lower effective tax rate during a quarter, based upon the mix and timing of actual earnings or losses versus annual projections. In each quarter, the Company updates its estimate of the AETR, and if the estimated AETR changes, a cumulative adjustment is made in that quarter. For the three and nine months ended June 27, 2020, the Company excluded certain jurisdictions from the calculation of the estimated AETR as the Company anticipated an ordinary loss in these jurisdictions for which no tax benefit could be recognized.

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, related to U.S. and non-U.S. income taxes. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.4 million and benefit from income taxes of less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended July 3, 2021 the Company's tax provision includes a discrete benefit for U.S. share-based compensation. For the nine months ended June 27, 2020, the Company's tax provision includes a discrete income tax benefit resulting from a favorable release of uncertain tax positions in the U.S. coinciding with the issuance of the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (“BEAT”) Regulations.

For the nine months ended July 3, 2021, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain other non-US entities due to a history of operating losses. It is possible that within the next 12 months there may be sufficient positive evidence to release a portion or all of the valuation allowance. Release of the valuation allowance in the U.S. and certain other non-US entities would result in a benefit to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded, which could have a material impact on net earnings. The timing and amount of the potential valuation allowance release are subject to significant management judgment, as well as prospective earnings in the U.S. and certain other non-US entities.
