Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended January 25, 2020 was 22.2% compared to 17.4% for the three months ended January 26, 2019. The increase in the rate was primarily due to the impacts of certain one-time adjustments reflected in the prior year quarter.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended January 25, 2020 was 54.3% compared to 21.0% for the nine months ended January 26, 2019. The current period rate was adversely impacted by the $58,300 pre-tax expense recorded in the three months ended October 26, 2019 related to the probable settlement of litigation with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Virginia, as these costs and expenses are not fully deductible. See Note 12 for additional information.
