9. Income Taxes

In determining its quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 25%, which is based on expected annual earnings and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability on the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter, including excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation. In addition, the Company's effective tax rate may change from period-to-period based on recurring and non-recurring factors including the jurisdictional mix of earnings between countries and between states within the U.S., enacted tax legislation, and tax audit settlements, as well as the impact of limitations on the deductibility of executive and stock-based compensation. The effective tax rate recognized for the quarter ended April 1, 2023 was 141.6%, compared with 15.7% for the quarter ended April 2, 2022. The variation in the interim effective tax rates from the annual effective tax rate was mainly due to the impact of stock-based compensation included in pre-tax earnings in the respective periods, and the recognition of excess tax benefits related to the vesting of stock-based awards in the first quarter of 2023 (see note 8).
