INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate was 33% and (14)% for the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. For the period ended March 30, 2014, taxable income relative to permanent items, the mix of income between jurisdictions, and the expiration of certain federal tax credits as of December 31, 2013 impacted the effective tax rate. The period ended March 31, 2013 was impacted by income relative to permanent items, the mix of income between jurisdictions, state income tax credits and federal legislation during that period that reinstated certain federal tax credits retroactively to January 1, 2012.
Beginning with the Successor period, the Company, with its respective subsidiaries, is included in its U.S. parent company’s consolidated federal income tax group and consolidated income tax return. The members of the consolidated group have elected to allocate income taxes among the members of the group by the separate return method, under which the parent company credits the subsidiary for income tax reductions resulting from the subsidiary’s inclusion in the consolidated return, or the parent company charges the subsidiary for its allocated share of the consolidated income tax liability.
