Income Taxes

An estimate of the annual effective tax rate is used at each interim period based on the facts and circumstances available at that time, while the actual effective tax rate is calculated at year-end. For the 13-week periods ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of 34.5% and 47.6% of the loss before income taxes, respectively. For the 39-week periods ended October 28, 2017 and October 29, 2016, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of 34.1% and 41.8% of the loss before income taxes, respectively. The decrease in the tax rates for both the 13-week and 39-week periods ended October 28, 2017 was primarily due to new accounting guidance related to share-based compensation, which requires the inclusion of excess tax benefits and deficiencies as a component of income taxes.
