14.Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax benefit by loss before income taxes, for the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2016 was 45.5% and 36.0%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate benefit was primarily driven by a reduction in the valuation allowance resulting from the Company’s assessment of its ability to use certain loss carryforwards, partially offset by the repricing of net deferred tax liabilities as a result of the Expansion Territories being located in higher tax rate jurisdictions.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax benefit by loss before income taxes minus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, for the first quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2016 was 42.2% and 33.6%, respectively.

 

The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $3.0 million on April 2, 2017 and $2.9 million on January 1, 2017, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. While it is expected the amount of uncertain tax positions may change in the next 12 months, the Company does not expect such change would have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

Prior tax years beginning in year 2002 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, and various tax years beginning in year 1998 remain open to examination by certain state tax jurisdictions due to loss carryforwards.
