United States Tax Reform

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law. The law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21%, repeal of the Section 199 Domestic Production Activities Deduction and enactment of the Deduction for Qualified Business Income of Pass-Thru Entities. We are in the process of analyzing the legislation and determining an estimate of the financial impact. Currently, we expect to record a material tax benefit due to the revaluation of our net deferred tax liability position included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
