Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES We conduct business globally and report our results of operations in a number of foreign jurisdictions in addition to the United States. Our reported tax rate is generally lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate as the income tax rates in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate are generally lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate. Additionally, our reported tax rate is lower than the statutory tax rate as a result of the release of valuation allowance against tax attributes in certain jurisdictions which can be utilized to offset current year earnings. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, we reported an income tax provision of $2.8 million and $3.0 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 12.1% and 13.2%, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2017 and October 1, 2016, we reported an income tax provision of $5.9 million and $3.3 million, respectively, representing effective tax rates of 12.7% and 25.8%, respectively. The change in our reported tax rate for both the three and six months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily the result of changes in the jurisdictional mix of earnings. Our effective tax rate for six months ended October 1, 2016 was also impacted by a non-recurring discrete tax expense of $1.4 million related to a workforce reduction during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 in a foreign subsidiary where we were required to maintain certain levels of headcount for a multi-year period, which resulted in the establishment of a tax reserve. The income tax provision for the six months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to applying our estimated annual effective tax rate to our year-to-date consolidated income before provision for income taxes. We are in a three year cumulative loss position in the U.S. and, accordingly, maintain a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets. Additionally, we also maintain a valuation allowance against certain other deferred tax assets primarily in Switzerland, Puerto Rico, Luxembourg and France which we have concluded are not more-likely-than-not realizable.
