Note 3 – 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 April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 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 quarters ended April 1, 2017 and April 2, 2016 includes $968 and $769, respectively, for the periodic remeasurement of the deferred tax liability recorded for the cash repatriation program.  The cash repatriation program is expected to occur over several years, and the deferred tax liability is based on the available sources of cash, applicable tax rates, and other factors and circumstances, as of each respective balance sheet date. Changes in the underlying facts and circumstances result in changes in the deferred tax liability balance, which are recorded as tax benefit or expense.

During the three fiscal months ended April 1, 2017, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1,074 on a net basis, due to increases for tax positions taken in the current period, interest, and foreign currency effects.
