Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is based on a current estimate of the annual effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the impact of discrete items. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a (12.4)% benefit for the three months ended January 23, 2015, as compared to 7.7% for the corresponding period a year ago. The Company’s effective income tax rate was a (4.0)% benefit for the first nine months of fiscal year 2015, as compared to 24.4% for the corresponding period a year ago. The decrease in tax rate for both the three and nine months ended January 23, 2015, as compared to the corresponding period last year, was primarily driven by the domestic production activities deduction, benefits from a company-owned life insurance policy, Work Opportunity Tax Credits and the resolution of uncertain tax position reserves.
