(5) Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 14.3% and 14.8% for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2026 and April 1, 2025, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate for the 13 weeks ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to an increase in the impact of the FICA tip tax credit partially offset by a decrease in the excess tax benefit on stock compensation, the expiration of the workers’ opportunity tax credit, and an increase in non-deductible officers’ compensation.
