Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was (49.5)% for the quarter and 120.7% year-to-date compared to 36.1% and 35.8%, respectively, for the prior year periods. The 2016 and 2015 year-to-date rates benefited from state jobs tax credits claimed for the prior year's hiring activity of 3.2% and 0.9%, respectively. In addition, the 2016 rates were impacted by the recognition of a $2.1 million tax benefit related to the $24.3 million pre-tax settlement loss on the Pension Plan liquidation. This benefit was at a rate lower than the effective tax rate due to the previous recognition of an approximate $7.2 million tax benefit recognized with the reversal of our valuation allowance in 2011. Excluding the impact of the Pension Plan liquidation, our effective income tax rate would have been 35.8% for the two quarters ended June 29, 2016.
