7. Income Taxes

 

The Company's effective tax rate was 0.6% and -8.0% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 23.7% and 2.1% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 2, 2019, respectively. The 2020 effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to no tax expense or benefit being recorded on the current quarter's pretax income or the year-to-date pretax loss as a full valuation allowance has been recorded globally.  In addition, the first thirty-nine weeks 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.
