INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023 was 24.4% and 24.6%, respectively, as compared to 26.2% and 21.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 29, 2023 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year was primarily due to a loss from the sale of equity securities measured at fair value in the prior year. The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 29, 2023 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year was primarily due to non-taxable income related to our previously held equity interest in Driivz in the prior year.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2023 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of state taxes and foreign taxable earnings at a rate different from the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the effect of state taxes and foreign taxable earnings at a rate different from the U.S. federal statutory rate, which for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was offset by non-taxable income related to the Company’s previously held equity interest in Driivz.
