Income Taxes

9. Income Taxes

The determination of the Company’s overall effective tax rate requires significant judgment, the use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. The effective tax rate reflects the income earned and taxed in various United States federal and state jurisdictions. Tax law changes, increases and decreases in temporary and permanent differences between book and tax items, tax credits, and the Company’s change in income in each jurisdiction all affect the overall effective tax rate. It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.9% for the three months ended September 28, 2019 and 20.0% for the three months ended September 29, 2018. The effective tax rate varied from the 21% statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, federal credits and other permanent items. The excess tax benefit of exercised and vested stock awards is treated as a discrete item.

As of September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $29.1 million and $29.1 million, respectively, and deferred tax liabilities of $131.1 million and $137.1 million, respectively. As of June 29, 2019, the Company had established a valuation allowance of $0.5 million, net of federal benefit, against deferred tax assets related to certain net operating losses which are not likely to be realized due to limitations on utilization. There was no change in the valuation allowance as of September 28, 2019. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the remaining deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company records a liability for Uncertain Tax Positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740-10-25, Income Taxes – General – Recognition. As of September 28, 2019 and June 29, 2019, the Company had approximately $1.8 million and $1.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively. It is reasonably possible that a decrease of approximately $0.6 million in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next twelve months primarily due to statute of limitations expirations, that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.
