Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate was 36.0% for the quarter ended June 28, 2017 and 36.1% for the two quarters ended June 28, 2017 compared to (49.5)% and 120.7%, respectively, for the prior year periods. Refer to Note 2 for the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09. The 2016 period benefited by 3.2 percentage points from state jobs tax credits claimed for prior years' hiring activity. 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.
