Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

The following table shows the tax expense and the effective tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 30, 2020 and May 25, 2019 resulting from operations:

	Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
(In thousands)	May 30, 2020			May 25, 2019
Income before income taxes	$	30,511		$	54,681
Provision for income taxes	$	8,238		$	13,236
Effective tax rate	27.0		%	24.2		%

The effective tax rate for the thirty-nine week period ended May 30, 2020 is higher than the effective tax rate for the thirty-nine week period ended May 25, 2019 by 2.8%, which is primarily driven by non-deductible transaction costs, the one-time tax impact of the settlement of the TRA liability during the thirty-nine week period ended May 25, 2019, and other permanent differences.
