7. Income Taxes

 

The Company's effective tax rate was 0.5% and -7.6% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 1, 2020, respectively, compared to -65.1% and 101.7% for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended August 3, 2019, respectively. The 2020 effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to no tax benefit being recorded on the current period pretax loss as a full valuation allowance has now been recorded globally.  In addition, the first half of fiscal 2020 was impacted by the $3.3 million valuation allowance recorded on the beginning balance of the net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions.  The 2019 effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the valuation allowance being recorded in certain foreign loss companies and the $0.2 million tax impact of equity awards vesting.
