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 November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of 57.2% of the loss before income taxes and recorded an income tax benefit of 19.7% of the loss before income taxes, respectively. For the 39-week periods ended November 2, 2019 and November 3, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of 1.9% of the loss before income taxes and an income tax benefit of 23.6% of the loss before income taxes, respectively. The change in the tax rate for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended November 2, 2019 was primarily due to establishing a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $11.3 million as of November 2, 2019, as the Company is estimated to have a three year cumulative pretax loss, and by the realization of discrete shortfall tax expense related to stock forfeitures and vesting of restricted stock units.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities using estimated future tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities, including net operating loss carryforwards. Management assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets and records a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considers the probability of future taxable income and our historical profitability, among other factors, in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. For the period ended November 2, 2019, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its federal and consolidated state deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, due to uncertainty regarding their realization. Adjustments could be required in the future if the Company estimates that the amount of deferred tax assets to be realized is more than the net amount recorded. Any decrease in the valuation allowance could have the effect of increasing or decreasing the income tax provision in the statement of operations based on the nature of the deferred tax asset deemed realizable in the period in which such determination is made.
