Us Tax Reform Act			The Company’s tax adjustments associated with U.S. Tax Reform during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, included adjustments to decrease its initial estimate of the one-time deemed repatriation of undistributed earnings on previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (“Transition Tax”), specifically related to proposed regulations published by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), the U.S Treasury and various state taxing authorities, as well as an increase to its initial estimate of the impact from internal revenue code changes associated with the deductibility of certain executive compensation. To date, the Company has not made any other significant changes to its initial assessments made during the fourth quarter of 2017. As previously disclosed in its Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as U.S. Tax Reform on December 22, 2017.  U.S. Tax Reform includes multiple changes to the U.S. tax code with varying effects on the Company’s results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.  The SEC staff issued guidance on accounting for the tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform and provided a one-year measurement period for companies to complete the accounting.  Companies are required to reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of U.S. Tax Reform for which the accounting is complete.  To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of U.S. Tax Reform are incomplete but the company is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements.  The Company has made reasonable interpretations and assumptions with regard to various uncertainties and ambiguities in the application of certain provisions of U.S. Tax Reform.  The Company is continuing to evaluate all of the provisions of U.S. Tax Reform and expects to finalize its assessment during the one-year measurement period provided by the SEC to complete the accounting for U.S. Tax Reform.  It is possible that the IRS or the U.S. Department of the Treasury could issue subsequent guidance or take positions on audit that differ from the Company’s interpretations and assumptions.

Income Tax Examination Description			As previously reported, the Italian tax authorities have assessed additional tax due from the Company’s subsidiary, Quaker Italia S.r.l., relating to the tax years 2007 through 2013. During the second quarter of 2018, the Italian tax authorities assessed additional tax due from Quaker Italia, S.r.l., relating to the tax years 2014 and 2015. The Company plans to meet with the Italian tax authorities by the end of 2018 to discuss these assessments. If these discussions are not successful in materially reducing the assessed tax, then the Company will further evaluate its options including potentially filing for competent authority relief from these assessments under the Mutual Agreement Procedures of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, consistent with the Company’s previous filings for 2008 through 2013
