The effective income tax rate for the Company was an expense of 12.7% and a benefit of 8.3% for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021, respectively, as compared to a benefit of 23.9% and 19.3%% for the three and six months ended June 26, 2020, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 25, 2021, and the difference from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily the result of discrete items recognized related to one-time transaction costs, the adjustment of deferred tax liabilities and the benefit of certain tax credits.
