INCOME TAXES

In the three and six months ended December 28, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $20.2 million and $42.2 million, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of $38.1 million and $69.9 million in the three and six months ended December 29, 2012, respectively.

The Company's federal statutory tax rate is 35%. The Company's effective tax rates for the three and six months ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 were lower than the statutory tax rate primarily because earnings of foreign subsidiaries were taxed at lower rates. The Company's income tax provision for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 included a $21.4 million discrete tax charge for research and development expenses of a foreign subsidiary for which no tax benefit is available.

The Company estimates that it is reasonably possible that its liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued interest and penalties, could decrease within the next 12 months by $25 million due to expected settlements with foreign tax authorities.

In fiscal year 2012 the U.S. Internal Revenue Service commenced an audit of the Company's federal corporate income tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011, which is still ongoing.
