INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rate was 16.0% for the six months ended May 28, 2017, compared to 31.1% for the same period ended May 29, 2016. The decrease in the effective tax rate in 2017 as compared to 2016 was primarily due to a 9.5% discrete tax benefit related to the release of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets of a foreign subsidiary, and a 6.0% discrete tax benefit recognized in the quarter attributable to excess tax benefits on equity compensation.
