| Income Taxes | Income Taxes In accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), each interim period is considered integral to the annual period and tax expense is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate. An entity is required to record income tax expense each quarter based on its annual effective tax rate estimated for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis, adjusted for discrete taxable events that occur during the interim period. Effective tax rate The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 30, 2026 was 18.5% as compared to 25.7% for the corresponding period in the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 30, 2026 was 24.3% as compared to 25.5% for the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for both periods was primarily due to provision-to-return adjustments associated with income tax credits recognized upon finalization of the prior-year U.S. federal income tax return. These adjustments reflect refinement of estimates used in the prior year tax provision and resulted in a benefit of approximately $3.1 million. Uncertain tax positions The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense, consistent with prior periods. During the thirty-nine weeks ended May 30, 2026, unrecognized tax positions increased by $3.3 million due to changes in existing reserves. The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States and Canada, as well as state and provincial income tax returns in most U.S. jurisdictions and several Canadian provinces. The Company is periodically subject to income tax audits in these jurisdictions, which can be complex and may take several years to resolve. The final resolution of such audits may result in adjustments to the Company’s tax accruals or income tax provision, which could materially affect results of operations in the period of resolution. U.S. and Canadian federal income tax statutes are closed for filings through fiscal years 2021 and 2017, respectively. With limited exceptions, state and local income tax examinations are closed for periods prior to fiscal 2022. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to materially change during the next 12 months.
