Note 10 – Income Taxes

 

The Company computed the interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective rate, adjusted for discrete items. This estimate is used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis and may change in subsequent interim periods. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024 was 33.0% and 34.7%, respectively, compared to 19.1% and -0.6% in the same periods of the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily due to impairment charges within the respective periods, thus reducing the amount of income reflected in the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate. Further impacting the effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 were tax deficiencies (shortfalls) from stock-based compensation, state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, partially offset by tax credits.

 

On a regular basis, the Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance. Such evaluations involve the application of significant judgment. The Company considers multiple factors in its evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance, including reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets, and forecasted future taxable income.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. At both  March 31, 2024 and July 2, 2023, the Company had valuation allowances of approximately $3.2 million, primarily related to certain state and foreign net operating losses.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and various foreign countries. The Company’s fiscal years 2020, 2021, and 2022 remain subject to U.S. federal examination. Due to ongoing state examinations and nonconformity with the U.S. federal statute of limitations for assessment, certain states remain open from fiscal 2016. The Company's foreign income tax filings from fiscal 2017 are open for examination by its respective foreign tax authorities, mainly Canada and Brazil.

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. At March 31, 2024, the Company has an unrecognized tax benefit, including accrued interest and penalties, of approximately $3.2 million. The Company believes that $0.4 million of unrecognized tax positions will be resolved over the next twelve months.
