INCOME TAXES

The Company’s quarterly tax provision and the estimate of the annual effective tax rate are subject to significant variation due to several factors. These include variability in the pre-tax jurisdictional mix of earnings, changes in how the Company does business including entering into new businesses or geographies, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in law, regulations, and administrative practices, relative changes of expenses or losses for which tax benefits are not recognized and the impact of discrete items. The impact of these items on the effective tax rate will be greater at lower levels of pre-tax income (loss).

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act makes broad and significantly complex changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things: reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%; transitioning U.S. international taxation to a modified territorial tax system; and imposing a mandatory one-time deemed repatriation tax, payable over eight years, on accumulated undistributed foreign subsidiary earnings and profits as of December 31, 2017. The Company recognized provisional discrete net tax charges of $19.9 million related to the enactment of the Act in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017. Given the significant changes resulting from and complexities associated with the Act, the estimated financial impacts in Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2018 are provisional and assessed as of May 22, 2018, and as of this date the Company had not recognized any adjustments to the provisional amounts recognized in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2017. The ultimate outcome may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued and actions the Company may take as a result of the Act. Provisional amounts are expected to be finalized after the Company’s Fiscal 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2018, but no later than one year from the enactment of the Act.

Other
The Company incurred $8.2 million and $9.3 million of discrete non-cash income tax charges for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively, related to the expiration of certain share-based compensation awards, recognized in income tax benefit due to changes in share-based compensation accounting standards adopted by the Company in the first quarter of Fiscal 2017.
