16.Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax benefit by loss before income taxes, was 35.0% for the first quarter of 2019 and 48.9% for the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by improved financial results.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate, as calculated by dividing income tax benefit by loss before income taxes minus net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, was 30.6% for the first quarter of 2019 and 47.8% for the first quarter of 2018.

 

The Company had uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, of $3.2 million on March 31, 2019 and $3.1 million on December 30, 2018, 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 condensed 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.
