The effective income tax rate was 29.3 percent for the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 2021, compared with 21.5 percent for the thirteen weeks ended October 31, 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the finalization of the net operating loss carryback prescribed in the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act as well as changes in the geographical mix of pretax earnings.

The effective income tax rate was 17.8 percent for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021, compared with 23.7 percent for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2020. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 compared with the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 is primarily due to the tax benefit resulting from divestiture activity during fiscal 2021 as well as the finalization of the net operating loss carryback prescribed in the 2020 CARES Act, partially offset by changes in the geographical mix of pretax earnings.
