Effective tax rates for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2025 and September 26, 2024 were based on the Company’s forecasted annualized effective tax rates and were adjusted for discrete items that occurred within each period. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 19.8% and 21.8% for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2025 and September 26, 2024, respectively, and 21.2% and 18.4% for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2025 and September 26, 2024, respectively. For the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2025, the effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to federal tax credits. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2025, the effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes that were partially offset by federal tax credits. For the thirteen weeks ended September 26, 2024, the effective income tax rate was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to state income taxes that were partially offset by excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2024, the effective income tax rate was lower than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0% primarily due to excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation awards.
