Note 10—Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 24.9% for the nine months ended July 2, 2022, compared to 20.9% for the nine months ended July 3, 2021. The difference between the statutory rate and our effective rate for the nine months ended July 2, 2022 was primarily attributable to state taxes. The difference between the statutory rate and our effective rate for the nine months ended July 3, 2021 was primarily attributable to a reduction in the valuation allowance for our interest limitation carryforward and net income tax benefits attributable to equity-based compensation awards. Our effective income tax rate can fluctuate due to factors including valuation allowances, changes in tax laws, federal and state audits, and the impact of other discrete items.
