15. INCOME TAXES

The company’s effective tax rate for the twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 2017 and July 16, 2016 was 35.1% and 35.3%, respectively.  The decrease in the rate from the prior year is primarily due to greater benefits for state tax credits in the current year.  During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 2017, the primary differences in the effective rate and the statutory rate are state income taxes and the Section 199 qualifying production activities deduction.

During the twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 2017, the company’s activity with respect to its uncertain tax positions and related interest expense accrual was immaterial. At this time, we do not anticipate significant changes to the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

The company adopted guidance discussed in Note 3, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, and retrospectively adjusted our statements of cash flows.
