NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income tax expense of $8.5 million and an income tax benefit of $1.9 million in the three months ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively. The effective tax rate was 23.3% and 36.2% for the three months ended May 5, 2018 and April 29, 2017, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018 due to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”).

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted in the United States. The Company recognized the income tax effects of the Tax Act in its fiscal 2017 financial statements in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118, which provides SEC staff guidance for the application of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period in which the Tax Act was signed into law. As noted in its fiscal 2017 consolidated financial statements, the Company was able to reasonably estimate certain effects and, therefore, recorded provisional amounts associated with the one-time transition tax on indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings and the adjustment to our deferred tax assets and liabilities for the reduction in the corporate income tax rate.

The Company has not made any additional measurement period adjustments related to these items during the three months ended May 5, 2018. As the Company continues its analysis of the Tax Act and interprets any additional guidance, it may make adjustments to the provisional amounts that have been recorded that may materially impact the Company's provision for income taxes.

As of May 5, 2018 and February 3, 2018, the Company had $8.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $6.5 million would reduce income tax expense and the effective tax rate, if recognized. The remaining unrecognized tax benefits would offset other deferred tax assets, if recognized. As of May 5, 2018, the Company had $0.4 million of exposures related to unrecognized tax benefits that are expected to decrease in the next 12 months.
