INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2012 and May 1, 2011 were 24.3% and 34.0%, respectively.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended April 29, 2012 was lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns, partially offset by state and local taxes.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 2011 was slightly lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns, largely offset by state and local taxes and foreign earnings taxed in the United States.
