Note 10. Income Taxes

The effective tax rates applicable to the Company were 37.3% and 38.6% for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2014 and March 26, 2013, respectively.  The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting.  The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by discrete tax benefits related to state income taxes recognized in the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2014.  Excluding these discrete tax benefits, the effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended April 1, 2014 would have been 38.2%.
