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 July 4, 2020 and June 29, 2019 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.

During the second fiscal quarter of 2020, the Company repatriated $104,091 to the United States, and paid withholding and foreign taxes of $16,258.  Substantially all of these amounts were used to repay certain indebtedness.

The Company repurchased a portion of outstanding convertible notes and debentures in the fiscal quarter and six fiscal months ended July 4, 2020 (see Note 6).  The Company recognized tax benefits on the pre-tax loss on early extinguishment of debt.  The Company also recognized tax benefits of $1,346 in the six fiscal months ended July 4, 2020, reflecting the reduction in deferred tax liabilities related to the special tax attributes of the extinguished debentures.

During the six fiscal months ended July 4, 2020, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $3,397 on a net basis, primarily due to settlement of an audit and the expiration of a statute, partially offset by accruals for current year tax positions and interest.
