The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 increased by 27.6 and 10.2 percentage points, respectively, as compared to the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018. These increases were primarily due to favorable discrete items recorded in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 2018, which included excess tax benefits from equity-based compensation arrangements.

The Company has a blended federal and state statutory rate of approximately 26%. The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 were lower than the statutory rate primarily due to the benefit of tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips.
