(7) Income Taxes

The Company recognized income tax expense of $2,480 and $6,218 in the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the 13 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 was 16.7% and 38.8%, respectively. The Company recognized an income tax expense of $3,406 and $8,053 in the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018 and October 28, 2017 was 20.6% and 40.5%, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the 13 and 39 weeks ended November 3, 2018, was primarily due to US tax reform enacted during December 2017 which reduced the federal statutory tax rate of 35.0% to 21.0% and a discrete item relating to a change in tax depreciation methods filed with the fiscal 2017 federal tax return in fiscal 2018 for specific classes of fixed assets which accelerated taxable depreciation. The Company’s effective tax rate will generally differ from the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21.0%, due to state taxes, permanent items, and discrete items relating to method changes and stock award deductions.
