| Income Taxes | 11. Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns in numerous U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, with returns subject to examination for varying periods, but generally back to and including the year ending April 1, 2023, although certain tax credits generated in earlier years are open under statute from March 29, 2008. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years ending before April 1, 2023.
The effective income tax rates for the three-month periods ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025, were 22.1% and 21.9% respectively. In addition to discrete items, the effective income tax rates for both these periods were different from the U.S. statutory rates due to the foreign-derived intangible income provision and U.S. credit for increasing research activities, which decreased the rate, and state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and nondeductible compensation, which increased the rate.
The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 27, 2026 of 22.1% included $1.4 of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation and $0.1 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended June 27, 2026 would have been 23.2%. The effective income tax rate for the three-month period ended June 28, 2025 of 21.9% included $2.3 of discrete tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation partially offset by $1.3 of other items. The effective income tax rate without discrete items for the three-month period ended June 28, 2025 would have been 23.1%. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that some of its unrecognized tax positions may be effectively settled within the next 12 months due to the closing of audits and the statute of limitations expiring in various jurisdictions. The decrease in the Company’s unrecognized tax positions, pertaining primarily to federal and state credits and state tax, is estimated to be approximately $2.0, excluding interest and penalties. Global Minimum Tax
In October 2021, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) announced an Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting including Pillar Two Model Rules defining the global minimum tax, which calls for the taxation of large multinational corporations at a minimum rate of 15%. Subsequently multiple sets of administrative guidance have been issued. Many non-US tax jurisdictions have either recently enacted legislation to adopt certain components of the Pillar Two Model Rules beginning in 2024 with the adoption of additional components in later years or announced their plans to enact legislation in future years. The Company has performed an assessment of the potential impact to its income taxes as a result of Pillar Two and believes that it can avail itself of the transitional safe harbor rules in most jurisdictions in which the Company operates. We will continue to monitor both the U.S. and international legislative developments related to Pillar Two to assess for any potential impacts. We are continuing to evaluate the impacts of enacted legislation and pending legislation to enact Pillar Two Model Rules in the non-US tax jurisdictions in which we operate. At this time, we do not anticipate the enacted or pending legislation will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
