Note 7. Income Taxes

The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 was $86.4 million and $84.4 million, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 was $4.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively. The changes in taxes for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023, compared to the prior year periods, were primarily due to the recognition of a valuation allowance of $81.5 million on deferred tax assets for U.S. federal and state purposes during the three month period. In evaluating the current results, coupled with expectation for the remainder of the year, the Company reassessed its position and determined that it was not more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized, and accordingly recorded a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. In the three and nine months ended October 2, 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 in the first fiscal quarter of 2022. The tax benefits on the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022 were partially offset by the tax impact of non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment which substantially reduced the effective tax rate for that period. Tax benefits on current year losses for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 were offset by the valuation allowance.

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. During the three months ended October 1, 2023, the Company determined that recovery of its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets was no longer more likely than not and established a full valuation allowance on those net assets, based on evaluation of all available evidence, including actual and anticipated business results. Accordingly, the balance sheet net deferred tax assets from the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions reported in “Other Non-current Assets” were reduced after the effect of establishing the valuation allowance.
