The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 28, 2021 was 25.9% compared to 16.8% for the same quarter in fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings, including the foreign rate differential on our jurisdictional mix of earnings, partially offset by lapping valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions in the prior year.
