Income tax expense and the effective tax rate were $10.9 million and 27.3%, respectively, for the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2026, and $11.2 million and 28.1%, respectively, for the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2025. Income tax expense and the effective tax rate were $35.0 million and 27.9%, respectively, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2026, and $52.1 million and 26.1%, respectively, for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to a change in state income taxes and other non-deductible items. The decrease in total tax expense for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2026 is primarily related to the taxable gain on the sale of our non-controlling interest in LPH during the first fiscal quarter of 2025.
