13.  Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes, for Q1 2016 and Q1 2015 was 36.0% and 33.9%, respectively.  The increase in the effective tax rate was driven primarily by an increase in the state tax rate applied to the deferred tax assets and liabilities driven by the new territories and a decrease to the favorable manufacturing deduction (as a % of pre-tax income) caused by new territories which do not qualify for the deduction. The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax expense (benefit) by income before income taxes minus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, for Q1 2016 and Q1 2015 was 33.6% and 40.5%, respectively.

 

As of April 3, 2016, January 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015, the Company had $3.1 million, $2.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected that the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect any change to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Prior tax years beginning in year 2012 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 1998 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions due to loss carryforwards.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance which simplified the presentation of deferred income taxes. This guidance requires that deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities be classified and presented as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The Company elected to early adopt this new accounting guidance effective January 3, 2016 on a prospective basis.  Adoption of this accounting guidance resulted in a reclassification of the Company’s net current deferred tax asset to the net noncurrent deferred tax liability on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of January 3, 2016.  No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.

As of April 3, 2016, the Company revalued its existing net deferred tax liabilities for the effects which resulted from the YTD 2016 Expansion Transactions.  The impact was a decrease to the recorded income tax benefit of $0.8 million.
