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 $47,365 for the 13 weeks ended May 4, 2019 represents an effective tax rate of 19.8%, compared to $46,771 of tax expense representing an effective tax rate of 22.1% for the 13 weeks ended May 5, 2018. The lower effective tax rate is primarily due to income tax accounting for share-based compensation.
