Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense of $635,000, or (3.9%) of loss before income taxes, for the nine-month period ended January 26, 2025, compared with income tax expense of $2.2 million, or (33.4%) of loss before income taxes, for the nine-month period ended January 28, 2024. 

Our consolidated effective income tax rates for the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and 2024 were both adversely affected by the mix of earnings between our U.S. operations and foreign subsidiaries, as our taxable income stems mostly from our operations located in China, which has a higher income tax rate than the U.S. In addition, during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 and the first nine months of 2024, we incurred pre-tax losses associated with our U.S. operations for which an income tax benefit was not recorded due to a full valuation allowance applied against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets. The income tax charge associated with the full valuation allowance applied against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets was higher during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as our $(16.8) million U.S. pre-tax loss incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2025 was greater than the $(11.3) million U.S. pre-tax loss incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2024.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, we incurred a greater consolidated pre-tax loss totaling $(16.4) million compared with $(6.7) million during the first nine months of fiscal 2024. As a result, the principal differences between income tax expense at the U.S. federal income tax rate and the effective income tax rate reflected in the consolidated financial statements were more pronounced during the first nine months of fiscal 2024, as compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2025.

Refer to Note 15 of the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding our provision for income taxes.
