Income Taxes Income Taxes
For interim periods, the Company generally uses the estimated annual effective tax rate (“AETR”) method to calculate its income tax provision based on the current estimate of its AETR plus the tax effect of discrete items occurring during the period. The estimated AETR is based on forecasted annual results which may fluctuate due to significant changes in the forecasted or actual results and any other transaction that results in differing tax treatment.
For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2026, the Company departed from the estimated AETR method and computed its provision for income taxes using the discrete effective tax rate method (the “discrete method”), as allowed under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes - Interim Reporting. The discrete method is applied when the application of the estimated AETR is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the AETR. The discrete method treats the year-to-date period as if it was the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. We believe that, at this time, the use of this discrete method is more appropriate than the AETR method as our full-year forecasted pre-tax income, relative to our forecasted permanent differences, has the potential to distort our estimated AETR.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 29, 2026 was (1,099)%, which differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes incurred relating to the repurchase of the 58 properties under the Carlyle master lease agreement, the change in fair value of the earnout liability, increase to the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset for business interest expense that cannot be deducted under IRC Section 163(j), permanent differences, and other discrete tax items. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 30, 2025 was (5)%, which differs from the US federal statutory rate of 21% due to the change in fair value of the earnout liability, permanent differences, and other discrete tax items.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. government enacted The One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. The most significant impact to the Company under the bill was the permanent reinstatement of bonus depreciation on qualified property and modifications to the calculation for excess business interest expense limitation under IRC Section 163(j) to the current tax estimate. The Company will continue to monitor the potential impacts of the bill on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
