Income Taxes
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $1 million, consisting of $3 million of foreign taxes in profitable locations, partially offset by $2 million of tax benefits arising from other comprehensive income and Canadian tax credits.
In the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $3 million due to foreign taxes in profitable locations.
As of March 26, 2016, substantially all of the Company’s U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, continue to be subject to a valuation allowance. The realization of these assets is dependent on substantial future taxable income which, as of March 26, 2016, in management’s estimate, is not more likely than not to be achieved.
The Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of March 26, 2016 were $39 million. The Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that other unrecognized tax benefits will materially change in the next 12 months. However, the settlement, resolution or closure of tax audits are highly uncertain.
