Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016 was 30.5% and 29.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of (1) the adoption of an amendment issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based payments be recognized in net income, which resulted in a benefit of $2,122 in the first quarter of 2017, (2) state income taxes net of federal benefits, including non-recurring changes to state deferred taxes, (3) the rate differential between foreign and domestic taxes, (4) changes to valuation allowances on state net operating loss carryforwards (including a correction to a prior year identified and recorded in the first quarter of 2016, which resulted in a benefit of $2,878) and (5) the disposition of non-deductible goodwill in 2016.

There were no significant changes to unrecognized tax benefits or related interest and penalties for the Company for the three months ended April 2, 2017. During the next twelve months, we believe that it is reasonably possible the Company will reduce its unrecognized tax benefits by up to $714, primarily due to expected settlements with taxing authorities.

The current portion of refundable income taxes was $8,339 and $18,111 as of April 2, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively, and is included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  Long-term refundable income taxes are included in “Other assets” and amounted to $951 and $239 as of April 2, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively.
