INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax (benefit) expense and related effective rates were as follows (in thousands, except percentage data):
For the 14 Weeks Ended April 5, 2025For the 13 Weeks Ended March 30, 2024
Income tax expense (benefit) $3,368 $(6,117)
Effective tax rate(23.3)%20.1 %
The effective tax rate in the First Quarter was unfavorable as compared to the Prior Year Quarter due to the Company accruing foreign tax expense on certain foreign entities with positive income with an overall consolidated loss and no benefit accrued on the U.S. tax losses. The overall tax rate is impacted by the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and/or Subpart F income, which requires the inclusion of certain foreign income in the tax return which absorbs the U.S. net operating loss. Foreign income taxes are also paid on this same foreign income, resulting in double taxation. The effective tax rate can vary from quarter-to-quarter due to changes in the Company's global mix of earnings, the resolution of income tax audits and changes in tax law.
As of April 5, 2025, the Company's total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, was $6.2 million, all of which would favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods, if recognized. The Company released corresponding uncertain tax positions of $1.0 million in the First Quarter. The Company reasonably expects that certain remaining uncertain tax positions will be resolved within the next twelve months, which if resolved favorably, would impact the tax rate by a benefit of approximately $3.0 million, including interest.
The Company is also subject to examinations in various state and foreign jurisdictions for its 2013-2023 tax years, none of which the Company believes are significant, individually or in the aggregate. Tax audit outcomes and timing of tax audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.
The Company has classified uncertain tax positions as long-term income taxes payable, unless such amounts are expected to be settled within twelve months of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date. As of April 5, 2025, the Company has not recorded unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, for positions that are expected to be settled within the next twelve months. Consistent with its past practice, the Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax overpayments and income tax underpayments in income tax expense and income taxes receivable/payable. At April 5, 2025, the total amount of accrued income tax-related interest included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $1.3 million all of which is accrued interest expense. There were no accrued tax-related penalties.
