10. Income Tax

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 million in the three months ended September 28, 2013 and an income tax benefit of $23.8 million in the nine months ended September 28, 2013. The effective tax rate of 33.7% in the three months ended September 28, 2013 primarily represents the impact of domestic deferred tax expense and a nominal amount of foreign income tax expense on cost-plus subsidiary. The income tax benefit in the nine months ended September 28, 2013 primarily reflects the impact of domestic deferred tax and a nominal amount of foreign income tax expense. In connection with the conversion from a Delaware LLC to a Delaware corporation under Subchapter C of Chapter 1 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, the Company is subject to both federal and state income taxes and, therefore, the Company recognized deferred tax assets of $14.8 million upon conversion to a Delaware corporation and $9.0 million of income tax benefit in the nine months ended September 28, 2013 due to a net loss incurred in the period.

The Company determined that a valuation allowance was not necessary for the total deferred tax assets of $24.0 million as of September 28, 2013 as it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will be realized in the future based on the Company’s past profitability and forecasted earnings.

As of September 28, 2013, the Company had $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which, if recognized, may affect the effective tax rate.

The Company files annual income tax returns in multiple taxing jurisdictions on a worldwide basis. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, the Company believes that its reserves for income taxes reflect the most likely outcome. The Company adjusts these reserves, as well as the related interest, in light of changing facts and circumstances. Settlement of any particular position could require the use of cash. As of September 28, 2013, changes to the Company's uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months that are reasonably possible are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
