The results for the fourth quarter of 2017 were impacted by the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Specifically, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $56.9 million which represents the one-time impact of the change in the corporate tax rate on deferred tax assets and liabilities, partially offset by the one-time transition tax liability, net of foreign taxes deemed paid.
