9. Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 20% and 41% for the quarterly period ended July 2, 2016 and June 27, 2015, respectively, and 29% and 28% for the three quarterly periods ended July 2, 2016 and June 27, 2015, respectively. Within the quarter the effective tax rate was favorably impacted by one-time U.S. permanent items. In addition to these items, our year-to-date effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due to favorable foreign rate differentials and the U.S. research and development credit, partially offset by state taxes and foreign income taxed in the U.S.
