Effective Income Tax Rate
Income tax expense (benefit) for the interim periods is computed using the income tax rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, adjusted for discrete items. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a benefit of 17.3% for the three months ended May 3, 2025 compared to a benefit of negative 42% for the three months ended May 4, 2024. The change in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a net $4.3 million unrealized loss during the three months ended May 3, 2025 compared to a net $38.5 million unrealized gain during the three months ended May 4, 2024 on the fair value remeasurement of derivatives related to the Company’s 2028 Notes and the related convertible note hedge, which was disregarded for income tax purposes.
Unrecognized Income Tax Benefit
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and foreign income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign local jurisdictions. From time-to-time, the Company is subject to routine income and other audits on various income tax matters around the world in the ordinary course of business. As of May 3, 2025, no income tax or other tax audits expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements were ongoing.
As of May 3, 2025 and February 1, 2025, the Company had $41.8 million and $40.3 million, respectively, of aggregate accruals for uncertain income tax positions, including penalties and interest. This includes an accrual of $20.6 million, excluding interest and penalties, for a fiscal 2022 intra-entity transfer of intellectual property rights from certain U.S. entities to a wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, substantially offset by the related deferred income tax benefit recorded by the Swiss subsidiary. The Company reviews and updates the estimates used in the accrual for uncertain income tax positions, as appropriate, as more definitive information
or interpretations become available from income taxing authorities, and on the completion of income tax audits, the receipt of assessments, expiration of statutes of limitations, or occurrence of other events.
During fiscal 2021, the Company became aware of a foreign withholding income tax regulation that could be interpreted to apply to certain of its previous transactions. The Company currently does not expect its exposure, if any, will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Indefinite Reinvestment Assertion
The Company has historically considered the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested. As a result of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company had a substantial amount of previously taxed earnings that could be distributed to the United States without additional U.S. taxation. As of May 3, 2025, the Company determined that approximately $300.0 million of such foreign earnings are not indefinitely reinvested. The incremental tax cost to repatriate these earnings to the United States is immaterial. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred income tax liability has not already been recorded. The Company continues to evaluate its plans for reinvestment or repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings and regularly reviews its cash positions and determination of indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings. If the Company determines that all or a portion of such foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested, the Company may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes beyond the one-time transition tax.
