The effective income tax rate represents the combined federal, state and foreign tax effects attributable to pretax earnings from continuing operations for the year. The decrease in the effective income tax rate for the six-month period ended June 28, 2013, as compared to the six-month period ended June 29, 2012, was principally due to the settlement of a state audit of prior years’ returns in the first quarter of 2013.
