The effective income tax rate represents the combined federal, state and foreign tax effects attributable to pretax earnings for the year. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 27, 2014, as compared to the rates for the same periods in the prior year is primarily due to a reduction in the effective state tax rate and discrete tax benefits in the second quarter of 2014, which include the recognition of a foreign exchange loss and additional inventory-related tax benefits.
