Income Taxes
The tax expense and the effective tax rate resulting from operations were as follows:
Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
(In thousands)February 28, 2026March 1, 2025
(Loss) income before income taxes$(184,205)$96,653 
(Benefit) provision for income taxes$(49,776)$21,784 
Effective tax rate27.0 %22.5 %

The effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended February 28, 2026 was 4.5% higher than the effective tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended March 1, 2025, which was primarily due to the absence of excess tax benefits from stock option exercises recognized in the prior-year period and a tax benefit related to the wind-down of operations at the Company’s legacy Canadian subsidiary.
