Income Taxes

An estimate of the annual effective tax rate is used at each interim period based on the facts and circumstances available at that time, while the actual effective tax rate is calculated at year-end. For the 13-week periods ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of 34.9% and 36.3% of the loss before income taxes, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate for the 13-week period ended May 5, 2018 was primarily due to the effect of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which reduced the U.S. federal corporate rate from 35% to 21% effective as of January 1, 2018, which was partially offset by the realization of discrete federal tax credits during the quarter.
