Income Taxes
Note Q — Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes) was 11.8 percent in the quarter ended April 3, 2020 compared with 14.1 percent in the quarter ended March 29, 2019. In the quarter ended April 3, 2020, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation, research and development (“R&D”) credits and the favorable impact of audit settlements, partially offset by a valuation allowance increase on international credits and the unfavorable impact of non-deductible goodwill impairment charges. In the quarter ended March 29, 2019, our effective tax rate benefited from the favorable impact of excess tax benefits related to equity-based compensation and from favorable adjustments recorded upon the filing of our Federal tax returns.
