The Company believes that, based upon its lengthy and consistent history of profitable operations, it is more likely than not the net deferred tax assets of $6.2 million will be realized on future tax returns, primarily from the gener- ation of future taxable income. Significant components of the deferred income tax liabilities and assets are as follows: $264,533 34,034 7,759 306,326 8,756 873 171 9,800 182,444 $316,126 October 30, October 25, 2016 2015 $(250,330) $(213,312) (98,628) (94,496) (18,295) (18,788) 154,306 107,343 109,061 36,844 37,603 46,845 48,432 $ 6,223 $ 22,806 Reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company's effective tax rate is as follows: U.S. statutory rate State taxes on income, net of federal tax benefit Domestic production activities deduction Foreign tax credit All other, net Effective tax rate 2016 35.0% 2.1 (2.8) (0.9) (1.0) 32.4% 2015 35.0% 2.7 (2.6) (0.1) 35.0% 2014 35.0% 2.8 (2.7) (0.8) 34.3% In fiscal year 2016, the Company approved a repatriation of $38.0 million of foreign earnings related to an international entity restructuring which generated a U.S. tax benefit of $12.1 million. The Company recorded a favorable discrete tax event related to this transaction. Undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures, aggregating to approximately $62.5 million at October 30, 2016, are considered to be permanently rein- vested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. It is not practicable to determine the deferred tax liability for temporary differences related to these foreign earnings. Total income taxes paid during fiscal years 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $372.0 million, $296.5 million, and $285.8 million, respectively.
