Note 5 – Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state, and foreign income taxes.  The effective tax rates for the periods ended October 1, 2016 and October 3, 2015 reflect the Company's expected tax rate on reported income from continuing operations before income tax and tax adjustments. The Company operates in a global environment with significant operations in various jurisdictions outside the United States.  Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is a composite rate reflecting the Company's earnings and the applicable tax rates in the various jurisdictions where the Company operates.

Income tax expense for the fiscal quarter and nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2016 includes the remeasurement of the deferred tax liability recorded for the cash repatriation program announced in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 of $1,402 and $3,388, respectively.  During the second fiscal quarter of 2016, the Company repatriated $46,000 pursuant to this program.

During the nine fiscal months ended October 1, 2016, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1,339 on a net basis, principally due to increases for tax positions taken in prior periods, interest, and foreign currency effects, partially offset by payments and settlements.
