Income tax expense reflects the federal statutory tax rate and the weighted average state statutory tax rate for the states in which the Company operates stores. Income tax expense of $46,771 for the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018 represents an effective tax rate of 22.1%, compared to $60,520 of tax expense representing an effective tax rate of 32.1% for the 13 weeks ended April 29, 2017. The lower effective tax rate is primarily due to tax reform.
