Income Taxes

As of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, the Company had net deferred income tax liabilities of $23,476 and $25,385, respectively. Deferred income tax liabilities primarily relate to intangible assets and accounting basis adjustments where we have a future obligation for tax purposes.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 25.8% and 24.3% during the three months ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively. The difference between the effective income tax rate and the combined statutory federal and state income tax rate was primarily due to federal credits.

The Company evaluates tax positions for recognition using a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, and those tax positions eligible for recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon the effective settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Fiscal years 2018 through 2021 are considered open tax years in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, state and foreign jurisdictions. Fiscal years 2012 - 2014 are considered open in the State of California. It is not expected that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
