Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | 14. Income Taxes Effective Income Tax Rate We recorded income tax expense of $4.0 million, or 38.7% of income before income tax expense, for the six month period ended November 2, 2014, compared to income tax expense of $4.0 million, or 38.9% of income before income tax expense, for the six month period ended October 27, 2013. Our effective income tax rates for the six month periods ended November 2, 2014 and October 27, 2013 were based upon the estimated effective income tax rate applicable for the full year after giving effect to any significant items related specifically to interim periods. The effective income tax rate can be affected over the fiscal year by the mix and timing of actual earnings from our U.S. operations and foreign sources versus annual projections and changes in foreign currencies in relation to the U.S. dollar. The income tax expense for the six month period ended November 2, 2014 is different from the amount obtained by applying our statutory rate of 34% to income before income taxes for the following reasons:
· | The income tax rate decreased by 6% for taxable income subject to lower statutory income tax rates in foreign jurisdictions (Canada and China) compared with the statutory income tax rate of 34% for the United States.
· | The income tax rate increased by 4% for an increase in unrecognized tax benefits.
· | The income tax rate increased by 6.7% for stock-based compensation and other miscellaneous items.
The income tax expense for six month period ended October 27, 2013 is different from the amount obtained by applying our statutory rate of 34% to income before income taxes for the following reasons:
· | The income tax rate increased 3% for adjustments primarily made to our state of North Carolina loss carryforwards for the decrease in future North Carolina corporate income tax rates commencing in fiscal 2015 and beyond. These adjustments totaled $273,000 and represented a discrete event in which the full tax effects were recorded in the six month period ending October 27, 2013.
· | The income tax rate decreased by 6% for taxable income subject to lower statutory income tax rates in foreign jurisdictions (Canada and China) compared with the statutory income tax rate of 34% for the United States.
· | The income tax rate increased 4% for an increase in unrecognized tax benefits.
· | The income tax rate was increased by 3.9% for stock-based compensation and other miscellaneous items.
Deferred Income Taxes Valuation Allowance In accordance with ASC Topic 740, we evaluate our deferred income taxes to determine if a valuation allowance is required. ASC Topic 740 requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard, with significant weight being given to evidence that can be objectively verified. Since the company operates in multiple jurisdictions, we assess the need for a valuation allowance on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis, taking into account the effects of local tax law. Based on our assessment at November 2, 2014, we recorded a partial valuation allowance of $1.1 million, of which $666,000 pertained to certain U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards and credits and $456,000 pertained to loss carryfowards associated with our Culp Europe operation located in Poland. Based on our assessment at October 27, 2013, we recorded a partial valuation allowance of $1.0 million, of which $722,000 pertained to certain U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards and credits and $315,000 pertained to loss carryfowards associated with our Culp Europe operation located in Poland. Based on our assessment at April 27, 2014, we recorded a partial valuation allowance of $977,000, of which $666,000 pertained to certain U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards and credits and $311,000 pertained to loss carryfowards associated with our Culp Europe operation located in Poland. No valuation allowance was recorded against our net deferred tax assets associated with our operations located in China and Canada at November 2, 2014, October 27, 2013, and April 27, 2014, respectively. The recorded valuation allowance of $1.1 million at November 2, 2014, has no effect on our operations, loan covenant compliance, or the possible realization of certain U.S. state net operating loss carryforwards and credits and our loss carryforwards associated with our Culp Europe operation located in Poland. If it is determined that it is more-likely-than-not that we will realize any of these deferred tax assets, an income tax benefit will be recognized at that time. Undistributed Earnings In accordance with ASC Topic 740, we assess whether the undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries will be reinvested indefinitely or eventually distributed to our U.S. parent company. ASC Topic 740 requires that a deferred tax liability should be recorded for undistributed earnings from foreign subsidiaries that will not be reinvested indefinitely. Based on our assessment as of November 2, 2014, it is our intention not to permanently invest our undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries. Also, we assess the recognition of U.S. foreign income tax credits associated with foreign withholding and income tax payments and whether it is more-likely-than-not that our foreign income tax credits will not be realized. If it is determined that any foreign income tax credits need to be recognized or it is more-likely-than-not our foreign income tax credits will not be realized, an adjustment to our provision for income taxes will be recognized at that time. At November 2, 2014, the deferred tax liability associated with our undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries totaled $2.2 million, which included U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes totaling $30.6 million, offset by U.S. foreign income tax credits of $28.4 million. At October 27, 2013, the deferred tax liability associated with our undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries totaled $7.1 million, which included U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes totaling $22.4 million, offset by U.S. foreign income tax credits of $15.3 million. At April 27, 2014, the deferred tax liability associated with our undistributed earnings from our foreign subsidiaries totaled $2.0 million, which included U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes totaling $28.1 million, offset by U.S. foreign income tax credits of $26.1 million. We had accumulated earnings from our foreign subsidiaries totaling $78.9 million, $57.7 million, and $72.8 million at November 2, 2014, October 27, 2013, and April 27, 2014, respectively. Overall At November 2, 2014, the current deferred tax asset of $6.2 million represents $5.8 million and $428,000 from our operations located in the U.S. and China, respectively. At November 2, 2014, the non-current deferred tax asset of $508,000 pertains to our operations located in China. At November 2, 2014, the non-current deferred tax liability of $1.4 represents $886,000 and $509,000 from our operations located in Canada and the U.S., respectively. At October 27, 2013, the current deferred tax asset of $7.8 million represents $7.4 million and $386,000 from our operations located in the U.S. and China, respectively. At October 27, 2013, the non-current deferred tax asset of $661,000 pertains to our operations located in China. At October 27, 2013, the non-current deferred tax liability of $5.0 million represents $4.1 million and $945,000 from operations located in the U.S. and Canada, respectively. At April 27, 2014, the current deferred tax asset of $6.2 million represents $5.8 million and $372,000 from our operations located in the U.S. and China, respectively. At April 27, 2014, the non-current deferred tax asset of $2.0 million represents $1.4 million and $572,000 from our operations located in the U.S. and China, respectively. At April 27, 2014, the non-current deferred tax liability of $1.0 million pertained to our operations located in Canada. Uncertainty In Income Taxes At November 2, 2014, we had a $14.1 million total gross unrecognized tax benefit, of which $4.0 million represents the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. At October 27, 2013, we had a $13.5 million total gross unrecognized tax benefit, of which $4.1 million represents the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. At April 27, 2014, we had a $13.7 million total gross unrecognized tax benefit, of which $4.0 million represents the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the income tax rate in future periods. At November 2, 2014, we had a $14.1 million total gross unrecognized tax benefit, of which $10.1 million and $4.0 million were classified as net non-current deferred income taxes and income taxes payable – long-term, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At October 27, 2013, we had a $13.5 million total gross unrecognized tax benefit, of which $9.4 million and $4.1 million were classified as net non-current deferred income taxes and income taxes payable – long-term, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At April 27, 2014, we had $13.7 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefit, of which $9.7 million and $4.0 million were classified as net non-current deferred income taxes and income taxes payable – long-term, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We estimate that the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits will increase by approximately $905,000 for fiscal 2015. This increase primarily relates to double taxation under applicable tax treaties with foreign tax jurisdictions.
