INCOME TAXES
Cadence’s provision for income taxes of $6.5 million and $11.9 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 primarily resulted from federal, state and foreign income taxes on its anticipated fiscal 2014 income. Cadence’s foreign earnings are generally subject to lower statutory tax rates than its United States earnings. In addition, Cadence’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 28, 2014 does not include the potential tax benefit of the United States federal research tax credit which expired in December 2013. The expiration of the research tax credit is estimated to increase Cadence’s estimated annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2014 by 3%.
Cadence’s provision for income taxes of $28.2 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013 was primarily related to federal, state and foreign income taxes on its anticipated fiscal 2013 income and tax expense related to an increase in the United States valuation allowance. Cadence's provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was primarily related to federal, state and foreign income taxes on its fiscal 2013 income partially offset by a tax benefit of $33.7 million from the release of an uncertain tax position, including related interest and penalties, and a $5.9 million tax benefit from the retroactive enactment of the fiscal 2012 United States federal research tax credit during the period.
