Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state and local jurisdictions, Canada, Brazil, and other international jurisdictions. In September 2025, the Company was notified that the Internal Revenue Service will conduct a U.S. federal examination for fiscal 2023. There is very limited audit activity of our income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or international jurisdictions.

For interim periods, income tax expense and resulting effective tax rate are based upon an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for the effects of items required to be treated as discrete to the period, including changes in tax laws, changes in estimated exposures for uncertain tax positions and other items. For the three months ended November 29, 2025, income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income tax was 31.4%, compared to 24.1% for the same period last year. The change in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in tax expense on discrete items. For the nine months ended November 29, 2025, income tax expense as a percentage of earnings before income tax was 31.1% compared to 24.8% for the same period last year. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by tax expenses on discrete items.

The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $5.9 million at November 29, 2025, compared to $6.0 million at March 1, 2025. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law in the United States, introducing a wide array of tax reform measures. These include extensions and modifications to certain provisions originally enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Key changes include the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, the reinstatement of 100% bonus depreciation, and a new interest expense limitation based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). These provisions did not have a material effect on the Company’s effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended November 29, 2025.
