7. Income Taxes

 

The Company's effective tax rate was 25.1% and 24.3% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 compared to 0.6% and (8)% for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020. The 2021 effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state income tax expense partially offset by the tax impact of equity awards vesting. While the Company is still in a full valuation allowance globally, it recorded tax expense on the pretax income earned in the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2021 based on its projected current tax expense. The first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2020 were impacted by a $3.3 million valuation allowance recorded on the beginning balance of the net deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions, offset by $0.8 million of benefit as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. In addition, no tax benefit was recorded on the year-to-date pretax loss for the first thirty-nine weeks of fiscal 2020 as a full valuation allowance was recorded globally.
