The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the three months ended February 22, 2026 was 12.9 percent compared to an effective income tax rate for the three months ended February 23, 2025 of 13.1 percent. The decrease in the tax rate is primarily driven by mark to market impacts on hedges related to our deferred compensation programs. The effective income tax rate for continuing operations for the nine months ended February 22, 2026 was 12.7 percent compared to an effective income tax rate for the nine months ended February 23, 2025 of 12.2 percent. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to a reduction in an expected IRS refund, partially offset by the adjustment of our expected tax liability related to the disposition of the Olive Garden Canada Restaurants.
Included in our remaining balance of unrecognized tax benefits is $1.4 million related to tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts could change within the next 12 months based on the outcome of examinations or as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions.
H.R. 1, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), was enacted on July 4, 2025. The legislation included several provisions that impact the timing and magnitude of certain tax deductions, including restoring 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property and the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs. We have applied the provisions impacting our financial position for the nine months ended February 22, 2026, and will continue to assess the potential impacts on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as additional guidance from the OBBBA is issued.
