During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02 regarding the reclassification of stranded tax effects resulting from the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate under the Tax Act and as a result, we reclassified $488 of stranded tax effects from Accumulated other comprehensive income to Retained earnings.
