Item 1A. Risk Factors
63 rewritten, 16 added, 23 removed, 142 unchanged
Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are some of the principal risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual business results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this Report and could individually, or in combination, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position [removed: or] [added: and] cash flows.
A sustained slowdown or significant downturn in our markets could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition [removed: or] [added: and] cash flows.
Although in [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] we experienced demand growth in most of our North American [removed: and Chinese] on-highway [removed: markets] and certain off-highway markets [added: and continued strong demand in Chinese markets,] as well as growth in many of our [added: other] international markets, if the North American or Chinese markets suffer a significant downturn or if a slower pace of economic growth and weaker demand in our other significant international markets were to occur, depending upon the length, duration and severity of the slowdown, our results of operations, financial condition [removed: or] [added: and] cash flows would likely [removed: be] [added: have a] materially [removed: adversely affected.][added: adverse impact.]
Several of our engine customers, including PACCAR, [removed: Volvo ,] [added: Volvo,] Navistar, Fiat Chrysler, [removed: Daimler] [added: Daimler, Dongfeng] and [removed: Dongfeng,] [added: Tata,] are truck manufacturers or OEMs that manufacture engines for some of their own vehicles.
Any significant reduction in the level of engine production outsourcing from our truck manufacturer or OEM customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of [removed: operations.][added: operations, financial condition and cash flows.]
Furthermore, it is possible that we may not be successful in developing segment-leading electrified powertrains and some of our existing customers could choose to develop their own electrified or alternate fuel powertrains, or source from other manufacturers, and any of these factors could [added: have a] materially [removed: adversely] [added: adverse] impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
[removed: The] [added: The] discovery of [removed: any significant additional problems with our engine platforms or aftertreatment systems in North America] [added: noncompliance issues] could [removed: further] [added: have a] materially [removed: adversely] [added: adverse] impact [added: on] our results of operations, financial condition [removed: or] [added: and] cash [removed: flows.][added: flows.]
Our products [removed: may be] [added: are] subject to recall for performance or safety-related issues.
Product recalls subject us to [removed: harm to our reputation,] [added: reputational risk,] loss of current and future customers, reduced revenue and product recall costs.
Any significant product recalls could have [removed: a] material adverse [removed: effect] [added: effects] on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
See Note [removed: 12, "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES"] [added: 9, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY"] to the *Consolidated Financial Statements* for additional information.
Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of our new or existing products or services, including reductions in demand for diesel engines, could [added: have a] materially [removed: adversely] [added: adverse] impact [added: on] our results of operations, financial condition [removed: or] [added: and] cash flows.
With increased consumer interconnectedness through the internet, social media and other media, mere allegations relating to poor quality, safety, fuel efficiency, corporate responsibility or other key attributes can negatively impact our reputation or market acceptance of our products or services, [added: including with respect to the demand for diesel engines,] even if such allegations prove to be inaccurate or unfounded.
Weakness in [removed: commodities,] [added: commodity prices,] such as oil, gas and coal, adversely impacted mining industry participants’ demand for vehicles and equipment that contain our engines and other products over the past several years.
Although many of our off-highway markets began to recover in [removed: 2017,] [added: 2017 and 2018,] additional deterioration, or renewed weakness, in infrastructure and commodities markets could adversely affect our customers’ demand for vehicles and equipment [removed: and] [added: and, as a result,] could adversely affect our business.
Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing [removed: emission] [added: emissions] and noise, including standards imposed by the EPA, the EU, state regulatory agencies (such as the CARB) and other regulatory agencies around the world.
Developing engines and components to meet [removed: numerous] [added: more stringent and] changing [removed: government] regulatory requirements, with different implementation timelines and emission requirements, makes developing engines efficiently for multiple markets complicated and could result in substantial additional costs that may be difficult to recover in certain markets.
While we have met previous deadlines, our ability to comply with [removed: other] existing and future regulatory standards will be essential for us to maintain our [removed: competitive advantage in the engine markets we serve.]
In addition to these risks, the nature and timing of government implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission standards in [removed: emerging] [added: our worldwide] markets are unpredictable and subject to change.
For [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] we recognized [removed: $357] [added: $394] million of equity, royalty and interest income from investees, compared to [removed: $301] [added: $357] million in [removed: 2016.][added: 2017.]
[added: Approximately half of our equity, royalty and interest income from investees is from four of our 50 percent owned joint ventures in] China - Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, [removed: Ltd. and] [added: Ltd.,] Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, [added: Ltd.and Dongfeng Cummins Emission Solutions Co.] Ltd. As a result, although a significant percentage of our net income is derived from these unconsolidated entities, we do not unilaterally control their management or [removed: their operations, which puts a substantial portion of our net income at risk from the actions or inactions of these entities.]
The adoption of new tax [removed: legislation, changes in our provisional estimates] [added: legislation] or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could adversely affect our profitability.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax [removed: Legislation).][added: Legislation) and all adjustments to the 2017 estimates were incorporated into our financial results in 2018.]
[removed: In addition, there is] [added: There continues to be] a risk that states or foreign jurisdictions may amend their tax laws in response to the Tax Legislation, which could have a material impact on our future results.
[removed: We] [added: Our information technology systems and our products] are exposed [removed: to, and may be adversely affected by,] [added: to] potential security breaches or other disruptions [removed: to] [added: which may adversely impact] our [removed: information technology systems] [added: competitive position, reputation, results of operations, financial condition] and [removed: data security.][added: cash flows.]
We [removed: also] face the challenge of supporting our older systems and implementing necessary upgrades.
As customers adopt and rely on [removed: the] cloud-based digital technologies and services we offer, any disruption of the confidentiality, integrity or availability of those services could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation.
Information technology security threats, such as security breaches, computer [removed: malware] [added: malware, computer viruses] and other "cyber attacks," which are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, [added: along with power outages or hardware failures,] could result in unauthorized [added: public] disclosures of information and create financial liability, subject us to legal or regulatory sanctions, [added: disrupt our ability to conduct our business] or damage our reputation with customers, dealers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
[removed: We continuously seek to maintain a robust program of information security and controls, but the] [added: The] impact of a [removed: material] [added: significant] information technology event [added: on either of our information technology systems or our products] could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash [removed: flow.][added: flows.]
Financial distress or a change-in-control of one of our large truck OEM customers could [added: have a] materially [removed: adversely] [added: adverse] impact [added: on] our results of [removed: operations.][added: operations, financial condition and cash flows.]
If one of our large truck OEM customers experiences financial distress, bankruptcy or a change-in-control, such circumstance could likely lead to significant reductions in our [removed: revenues and earnings,] [added: sales volumes,] commercial disputes, receivable collection issues, and other negative consequences that could have a material adverse impact on our results of [removed: operations.][added: operations, financial condition and cash flows.]
Our plan to reposition our portfolio of product offerings through [removed: exploring] [added: exploration of] strategic acquisitions and divestitures may expose us to additional costs and risks.
Part of our strategic plan is to improve our [added: revenue growth,] gross margins and earnings by exploring the repositioning of our portfolio of product line offerings through the pursuit of potential strategic acquisitions and/or divestitures to provide future strategic, financial and operational benefits and improve shareholder value.
In addition, if an acquisition results in any additional goodwill or increase in other intangible assets on our balance sheet and subsequently becomes impaired, we would be required to record a non-cash impairment charge, which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial [removed: condition and] [added: condition,] results of [removed: operations.][added: operations and cash flows.]
During [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] we single sourced approximately 20 percent of the total types of parts in our product designs, compared to approximately [removed: 56] [added: 20] percent in [removed: 2016.][added: 2017.]
Delays may be caused by factors affecting our [removed: suppliers, including] [added: suppliers (including] capacity constraints, labor disputes, economic downturns, availability of credit, the impaired financial [removed: condition of a particular supplier,] [added: condition),] suppliers' allocations to other purchasers, weather emergencies, natural disasters or acts of war or terrorism.
Any extended delay in receiving critical supplies could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers and [added: adversely affect] our results of [removed: operations.][added: operations, financial condition and cash flows.]
Our products primarily compete on the basis of price, performance, fuel economy, [added: emissions compliance,] speed of delivery, quality and customer support.
[removed: Policy] [added: We operate our business on a global basis and policy] changes affecting international trade could adversely impact the demand for our products and our competitive position.
Changes in government policies on foreign trade and investment can affect the demand for our products and services, [added: cause non-U.S. nationals to shift preferences toward domestically manufactured or branded products and] impact the competitive position of our products or prevent us from being able to sell products in certain countries.
Our products are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that can significantly increase our costs and, along with increased scrutiny from regulatory agencies and unpredictability in the adoption, implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission standards by multiple jurisdictions around the world, could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Regulatory agencies are making certification and compliance with emissions and noise standards more stringent and subjecting diesel engine products to an increasing level of scrutiny.
competitive advantage in the engine markets we serve.
Any delays in implementation or enforcement could result in a loss of our competitive advantage and could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
We manufacture, sell and service products globally and rely upon a global supply chain to deliver the raw materials, components, systems and parts that we need to manufacture and service our products.
Any of these consequences could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
The United Kingdom’s decision to end its membership in the European Union could materially and adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In June 2016, a majority of voters in the United Kingdom elected to withdraw from the European Union (EU) in a national referendum (BREXIT).
The effects of BREXIT will depend on any agreements the United Kingdom makes to retain access to EU markets either during a transitional period or on a permanent basis.
These measures could potentially disrupt our supply chain, access to human capital and some of our target markets and jurisdictions in which we operate, and adversely change tax benefits or liabilities in these or other jurisdictions.
In addition, BREXIT could lead to legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations, including with respect to emissions and similar certifications granted to us by the EU, as the United Kingdom determines which EU laws to replace or replicate.
Any of these effects of BREXIT, among others, could have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In addition, our products, including our engines, contain interconnected and increasingly complex systems that control various processes and these systems are potentially subject to "cyber attacks" and disruption.
their operations, which puts a substantial portion of our net income at risk from the actions or inactions of these entities.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to increase manufacturing capacity to a level that meets demand for our products, which could prevent us from meeting increased customer demand and could harm our business.
These countries include China, India and Germany.
During 2017, the CARB and U.S. EPA selected certain of our pre-2013 model year engine systems for additional emissions testing.
Some of these engine systems failed CARB and EPA's tests as a result of degradation of an aftertreatment component.
We have not been issued an official notice from the CARB or EPA regarding these particular engine systems.
We are working with the agencies and will meet with them beginning in the first quarter of 2018, to develop a resolution of these matters.
We are developing and testing a variety of solutions to address the technical issues, which could include a combination of calibration changes, service practices and hardware changes.
In addition, we continue to evaluate other engine systems for model years 2010 through 2015 that could potentially be subject to similar aftertreatment component degradation issues.
At the close of 2017, we had not yet determined the impact to other model years or engine systems or the percentage of the engine system populations that could be affected.
Since there are many unresolved variables with respect to these degradation issues, we are not yet able to estimate the financial impact of these matters.
It is possible that they could have a material impact on our results of operations in the periods in which these degradation issues are resolved and a solution is determined.
Unpredictability in the adoption, implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission standards by multiple jurisdictions around the world could adversely affect our business.
We have made, and will be required to continue to make, significant capital and research expenditures to ensure our engines comply with these emission standards.
In some cases, we are required to develop new products to comply with new regulations, particularly those relating to air emissions.
Any delays in implementation or enforcement could result in the products we developed or modified to comply with these standards becoming unnecessary or becoming necessary later than expected thereby, in some cases, negating our competitive advantage.
This in turn can delay, diminish or eliminate the expected return on capital and research expenditures that we have invested in such products and may adversely affect our perceived competitive advantage in being an early, advanced developer of compliant engines.
More than half of our equity, royalty and interest income from investees is from three of our 50 percent owned joint ventures in
The estimated effects based upon current interpretation of the Tax Legislation have been incorporated into our financial results.
As additional data is prepared and analyzed and as additional clarification and implementation guidance is issued on the new tax law, it may be necessary to adjust the provisional amounts.
Any adjustments could have a material impact on provisional amounts.
Any of these factors could adversely impact customer demand, our relationships with customers and suppliers and our results of operations.
While we believe
These cities include Athens, Madrid, Mexico City and Paris.
Similarly, Germany adopted legislation to ban new internal combustion engine vehicles by 2030, and China is considering a ban on the production and sale of diesel-powered vehicles to be adopted in the near future.

| • | 2019 OUTLOOK |
We formed the Electrified Power segment, effective January 1, 2018, which designs, manufactures, sells and supports electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid solutions along with innovative components and subsystems to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.We currently offer the Cummins PowerDrive series of fully electric and hybrid powertrain systems targeting various applications in the Class 4-8 commercial vehicle markets and are developing the Cummins Battery Electric System and the Cummins Hybrid Power Plug-In System for the urban bus market, which are expected to launch in 2019 and 2020, respectively.
We also design and manufacture battery modules, packs and systems for commercial, industrial and material handling applications.
We use a range of cell chemistries which are suitable for pure electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid applications.
In addition to electrified powertrains for urban buses, we intend to deliver product offerings to other markets as they adopt electric solutions, including, but not limited to, pick-up and delivery applications and industrial markets.
We invest in and utilize our internal research and development capabilities, along with strategic acquisitions and partnerships, to meet our objectives.
Net sales in the United States (U.S.) and Canada improved by 19 percent primarily due to increased demand in the North American on-highway markets (primarily in the heavy- and medium-duty truck markets), increased demand in all of our distribution product lines, sales from the automated transmission business acquired during the third quarter of 2017 and increased industrial demand (especially in oil and gas and construction markets).
Effective January 1, 2018, we changed our segment measure of profitability to EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, noncontrolling interests, depreciation and amortization) as a primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments.
EBITDA assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard for depreciation and amortization, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors.
Prior periods have been revised to reflect the current presentation.
The following tables contain sales and EBITDA by operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

The increase in net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and earnings per diluted share was driven by significantly higher net sales, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Legislation), higher gross margin and increased equity earnings from investees, partially offset by $368 million for an Engine System Campaign, higher research, development and engineering expenses, unfavorable foreign currency impacts (primarily the British pound, Brazilian real and Angolan kwanza partially offset by the Euro) and higher interest expense.
Tax Legislation resulted in the U.S. statutory rate decreasing from 35 percent to 21 percent, added incremental income tax expense in 2017 of $781 million to our tax provision (excluding the noncontrolling interest and equity investee adjustments) with a net impact of $777 million unfavorable to net income.
See Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," and Note 9, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," to the *Consolidated Financial Statements* for additional information on the Tax Legislation adjustments during the one year measurement period and the Engine System Campaign, respectively.
The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes, improved mix and favorable pricing, partially offset by increased warranty costs (primarily $368 million for an Engine System Campaign), higher compensation costs (driven by headcount growth to support increased sales) and unfavorable impacts from Chinese tariffs.

In October 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $2 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2016 repurchase plan.
During 2018, we repurchased $1.1 billion, or 7.9 million shares of common stock, including 3.5 million shares repurchased under the $500 million accelerated share repurchase program.
On August 22, 2018, we entered into a new five-year $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement and a 364-day $1.5 billion credit agreement that expire on August 22, 2023 and August 21, 2019, respectively.
These new credit facilities replace our previous five-year $1.75 billion and 364-day $1.0 billion facilities and will be used primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes.
The increase was primarily due to an increase in outstanding commercial paper.

The following describes our risk exposures and provides the results of a sensitivity analysis performed at December 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
For the years ended December 31, [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] and [removed: 2016,] [added: 2017,] there were no circumstances that [removed: would have] resulted in the discontinuance of a foreign currency cash flow hedge.
At December 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] the potential gain or loss in the fair value of our outstanding foreign currency contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation in the currencies of such contracts, would be approximately [removed: $101] [added: $91] million.
These commodity zero-cost collar contracts [removed: that] represent an economic hedge, but are not designated for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings.
At December 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] the potential gain or loss related to the outstanding commodity zero-cost collar contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation in the price of such commodities, would be approximately [removed: $3] [added: $2] million.
We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase some volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, generally [removed: not exceeding one year.][added: less than two years.]
Our foreign currency cash flow hedges generally mature within two years.
See Note 10, "DEBT," "Interest Rate Risk" section for additional information.
Our cash flow hedges generally mature within two years.
Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flows for up to 18 months.
We have a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our September 2013, $500 million debt issue, due in 2023, from a fixed rate of 3.65 percent to a floating rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a spread.
The terms of the swaps mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually.
The swaps were designated, and will be accounted for, as fair value hedges under GAAP.
The gain or loss on these derivative instruments, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current income as “Interest expense.” The net swap settlements that accrue each period are also reported in interest expense.
The following table summarizes these gains and losses for the years presented below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new revenue recognition standard in accordance with GAAP on a modified retrospective basis.
See "RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS" below for additional information.
Revenue Recognition Sales of Products
We sell to customers either through long-term arrangements or standalone purchase orders.
Our long-term arrangements generally do not include committed volumes until underlying purchase orders are issued.
Our performance obligations vary by contract, but may include diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, transmissions, power generation systems and construction related projects, batteries, battery systems, parts, maintenance services and extended warranty coverage.
Typically, we recognize revenue on the products we sell at a point in time, generally in accordance with shipping terms, which reflects the transfer of control to the customer.
Since control of construction projects transfer to the customer as the work is performed, revenue on these projects is recognized based on the percentage of inputs incurred to date compared to the total expected cost of inputs, which is reflective of the value transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognized under long-term maintenance and other service agreements over the term of the agreement as underlying services are performed based on the percentage of the cost of services provided to date compared to the total expected cost of services to be provided under the contract.
Sales of extended coverage are recognized based on the pattern of expected costs over the extended coverage period or, if such a pattern is unknown, on a straight-line basis over the coverage period as the customer is considered to benefit from our stand ready obligation over the coverage period.
In all cases, we believe cost incurred is the most representative depiction of the extent of service performed to date on a particular contract.
Our arrangements may include the act of shipping products to our customers after the performance obligation related to that product has been satisfied.
We have elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods and have not allocated revenue to the shipping activity.
Our sales arrangements may include the collection of sales and other similar taxes that are then remitted to the related taxing authority.
We have elected to present the amounts collected for these taxes net of the related tax expense rather than presenting them as additional revenue.
We grant credit limits and terms to customers based upon traditional practices and competitive conditions.
Typical terms vary by market, but payments are generally due in 90 days or less from invoicing for most of our product and service sales, while payments on construction and other similar arrangements may be due on an installment basis.
For contracts where the time between cash collection and performance is less than one year, we have elected to use the practical expedient that allows us to ignore the possible existence of a significant financing component within the contract.
For contracts where this time period exceeds one year, generally the timing difference is the result of business concerns other than financing.
We do have a limited amount of customer financing for which we charge or impute interest, but such amounts are immaterial to our *Consolidated Statements of Income.*
Sales Incentives
When there is uncertainty surrounding these sales incentives, we may limit the amount of revenue we recognize under a contract until the uncertainty has been resolved.
We consider the expected amount of these rebates at the time of the original sale as we determine the overall transaction price.
These rebates are typically measured either quarterly or annually and we assess them at least quarterly to determine our current estimates of amounts expected to be earned.
At the time of the sales, we consider the expected amount of these rebates when determining the overall transaction price.
Estimates are adjusted at the end of each quarter based on the amounts yet to be paid.

| Net income | | | | | | | | | 1,399 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1,399 | | | | 71 | | | | 1,470 | | |
We recognize revenue, net of estimated costs of returns, allowances and sales incentives, when it is realized or realizable, which generally occurs when:
| • | Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; |
| • | The product has been shipped and legal title and all risks of ownership have been transferred; |
| • | The sales price is fixed or determinable; and |
| • | Payment is reasonably assured. |
Products are generally sold on open account under credit terms customary to the geographic region of distribution.
We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral to secure our accounts receivable.
For engines, service parts, service tools and other items sold to independent distributors and to partially-owned distributors accounted for under the equity method, revenues are recorded when title and risk of ownership transfers.
This transfer is based on the agreement in effect with the respective distributor, which generally occurs when the products are shipped.
To the extent of our ownership percentage, margins on sales to distributors accounted for under the equity method are deferred until the distributor sells the product to unrelated parties.
The incentives are classified as a reduction in sales in our *Consolidated Statements of Income*.
We classify shipping and handling billed to customers as sales in our *Consolidated Statements of Income*.
We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates.
We manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps.
The objective of the swaps is to more effectively balance our borrowing costs and interest rate risk.
We performed the required procedures as of the end of our fiscal third quarter and determined that our goodwill was not impaired.
Approximately 50 percent and 4 percent of goodwill resides in our new automated transmissions reporting unit and our Brammo Inc. acquisition (not yet allocated to a segment), respectively.
Since these businesses were just acquired in the second half of 2017, we did not perform an additional quantitative test as of the end of our third fiscal quarter.
In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standard on comprehensive income to provide an option for an entity to reclassify the stranded tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (Tax Legislation) that was passed in December of 2017 from accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) directly to retained earnings.
The stranded tax effects result from the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities which were originally recorded in comprehensive income but whose remeasurement is reflected in the income statement.
This is a one-time amendment applicable only to the changes resulting from the Tax Legislation.
The standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, and may be reflected retroactively to any period in which the impacts of the Tax Legislation are recognized.
The standard permits early adoption for any financial statements that have not been released as of the date of the revised standard.
