Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three months ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 was 29.5% and 28.6%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of (1) changes to valuation allowances on state net operating loss carryforwards, (2) state income taxes net of federal benefits, including changes to state deferred taxes, (3) the impact of non-deductible goodwill disposed of in connection with our system optimization initiative described in Note 3, (4) foreign rate differential, (5) employment credits and (6) adjustments related to prior year tax matters, including changes to unrecognized tax benefits. During the three months ended March 29, 2015, we concluded two state income tax examinations which resulted in the recognition of a net tax benefit of $1,872.
