INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 and May 5, 2019 were 11.5% and 22.4%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 reflected a $(142.4) million income tax benefit recorded on $(1,239.6) million of pre-tax losses. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 5, 2019 reflected a $23.6 million income tax expense recorded on $105.2 million of pre-tax income.
The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended May 3, 2020 was lower than the United States statutory income tax rate primarily due to the impact of the $879.0 million of pre-tax goodwill impairment charges, which were mostly non-deductible for tax purposes and resulted in a 10.2% decrease in the Company’s effective income tax rate. The pre-tax goodwill
impairment charges were factored into the Company’s annualized effective income tax rate and, as such, will have a corresponding impact on the Company’s quarterly effective income tax rates for the remainder of 2020.

The Company files income tax returns in more than 40 international jurisdictions each year. A substantial amount of the Company’s earnings are in international jurisdictions, particularly the Netherlands and Hong Kong, where income tax rates, coupled with special rates levied on income from certain of the Company’s jurisdictional activities, are lower than the United States statutory income tax rate.
