Income Taxes [Abstract]

Income Taxes

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 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 reflect the Company’s expected tax rate on reported income 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 three fiscal months ended April 2, 2022, the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $3,047 on a net basis, primarily due to a payment and currency translation adjustments, partially offset by accruals for current year tax positions and interest.
