Note 7. Income Taxes

The income tax benefit for the three months ended April 2, 2023 was $0.9 million, or an effective tax rate of 8.1%. The income tax benefit for the three months ended April 3, 2022 was $2.3 million, or an effective tax rate of 3.9%. The change in taxes for the three months ended April 2, 2023, compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to a higher forecasted effective tax rate in the three months ended April 2, 2023, resulting primarily from relatively lower forecasted earnings for 2023. In the three months ended April 3, 2022, the forecasted annual loss was significantly higher (in relative terms) as compared to the forecasted earnings for 2023 due to the impairment of goodwill. The tax benefit on the three months ended April 3, 2022 was partially offset by the tax impact of non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment which substantially reduced the effective tax rate for that period.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. The future foreign tax rate could be affected by changes in the composition in earnings in countries with tax rates differing from the U.S. federal rate. The Company is under examination in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction as well as various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. Due to the uncertain nature of ongoing tax audits, the Company has recorded its liability for uncertain tax positions as part of its long-term liability as payments cannot be anticipated over the next twelve months. The existing tax positions of the Company continue to generate an increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions. The liability for uncertain tax positions may be reduced for liabilities that are settled with taxing authorities or on which the statute of limitations could expire without assessment from tax authorities. The possible reduction in liabilities for uncertain tax positions in multiple jurisdictions in the next twelve months is approximately $0.4 million, excluding the interest, penalties and the effect of any related deferred tax assets or liabilities. The Company is currently under examination in various U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under an asset and liability approach. Under this method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year. In addition, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from different treatment for tax versus accounting for certain items, such as accruals and allowances not currently deductible for tax purposes. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of these differences, which will either be taxable or

deductible when assets and liabilities are recovered or settled, as well as operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included within the consolidated balance sheets. The Company must then assess the likelihood that the Company’s deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and to the extent the Company believes that recovery is not more likely than not, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. The Company’s assessment considers the recognition of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis. Accordingly, in assessing its future taxable income on a jurisdictional basis, the Company considers the effect of its transfer pricing policies on that income. Because the judgment about the level of future taxable income is dependent to a great extent on matters that may, at least in part, be beyond the Company's control, it is at least reasonably possible that the Company’s judgment about the need for a valuation allowance for deferred taxes could change in the near term.
