Income Taxes

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. In interim periods where the entity is experiencing losses, an entity must make assumptions concerning its future taxable income and determine whether the realization of future tax benefits is more likely than not. For the three months ended April 30, 2022, the Company has year-to-date ordinary losses for the interim period and is anticipating annual ordinary income for the fiscal year. The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the tax benefit of the year-to-date loss will not be realized in the current or future years and accordingly, the Company’s effective tax was 0% for the three months ended April 30, 2022. The provision for income taxes of $2,643 for the three months ended May 1, 2021 primarily represents the non-cash deferred tax expense created by the current period amortization of indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets for tax but not for book purposes. A portion of these deferred tax liabilities cannot be used as a source to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company’s net operating losses which results in tax expense to record these deferred tax liabilities. Additionally, the provision for income taxes for the three months ended May 1, 2021 included a correction of an error of $882 related to the state tax impact of the non-cash deferred tax expense created by the amortization of indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets as previously recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. The effective tax rate was (29.4%) for the three months ended May 1, 2021 and differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the increase in deferred tax liabilities attributable to indefinite-lived goodwill and intangible assets as described above, as well as state and foreign taxes partially offset by the impact of the valuation allowance established against additional deferred tax assets.

Each reporting period, the Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and has maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. These valuation allowances will be maintained until there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized.
