Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted into law and contains several key tax provisions that affected us, including a one-time mandatory transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings and a reduction of the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 21 percent, effective January 1, 2018. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff subsequently issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SAB 118), allowing companies to record provisional amounts during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date while the accounting impact is still under analysis. We are currently analyzing the accounting impact of the Tax Act, but our analysis is incomplete. As a result, we have recorded a provisional benefit of $207 million for both the fourth quarter and full year. We expect to complete our work within the allowed measurement period.
