As a result of accounting guidance issued by the FASB in February 2018, we had the option to elect to make a one-time reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the change in corporate tax rate as a result of the U.S. Tax Act. This guidance became effective during the first quarter of 2019. We elected to not make the optional one-time reclassification.
