(1) While preparing the fiscal 2020 third quarter financial statements, DXC recorded out-of-period corrections for previously unrecognized tax effects on tax deductible goodwill balances impaired during the fiscal 2020 second quarter. As a result, the balance sheet at December 31, 2019 includes reclassifications to reduce goodwill and increase deferred income taxes by $53 million. The income statement for the fiscal 2020 third quarter includes reclassifications that increase goodwill impairment losses and increase income tax benefit by $53 million. Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, DXC determined that the out-of-period corrections are immaterial to the prior reporting periods affected.
