MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of Jabil Inc. (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision of and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s management conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2018. Management based this assessment on the framework as established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s assessment included an evaluation of the design of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and testing of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of August 31, 2018, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.
Ernst & Young LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, issued an audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting which follows this report.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Jabil Inc.
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited Jabil Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Jabil Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria**.**
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of August 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2018, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a), and our report dated October 19, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jabil Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of August 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2018, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at August 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended August 31, 2018, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of August 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated October 19, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

JABIL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Jabil Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, herein referred to as the “Company”) is one of the leading providers of manufacturing services and solutions. The Company provides comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services to companies in various industries and end markets. The Company’s services combine a highly automated, continuous flow manufacturing approach with advanced electronic design and design for manufacturability technologies. The Company is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida and has manufacturing operations in the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa.
Significant accounting policies followed by the Company are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Company has made certain reclassification adjustments to conform prior periods’ Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements to the current presentation.
Use of Accounting Estimates
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of 90 days or less. As of August 31, 2018 and 2017, there were $21.4 million and $71.5 million of cash equivalents, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Bad debts are charged to this allowance after all attempts to collect the balance are exhausted. Allowances of $15.2 million and $14.1 million were recorded as of August 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As the financial condition and circumstances of the Company’s customers change, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made as necessary.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis) and net realizable value. Inventory is valued based on current and forecasted usage, customer inventory-related contractual obligations and other lower of cost and net realizable value considerations. If actual market conditions or customer product demands are less favorable than those projected, additional valuation adjustments may be necessary.
Table of Contents
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment is capitalized at cost and depreciated using the straight-line depreciation method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Estimated useful lives for major classes of depreciable assets are as follows:
| Asset Class | Estimated Useful Life | |
| Buildings | Up to 35 years | |
| Leasehold improvements | Shorter of lease term or useful life of the improvement | |
| Machinery and equipment | 2 to 10 years | |
| Furniture, fixtures and office equipment | 5 years | |
| Computer hardware and software | 3 to 7 years | |
| Transportation equipment | 3 years |
Certain equipment held under capital leases is classified as property, plant and equipment and the related obligation is recorded as accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amortization of assets held under capital leases is included in depreciation expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of operating income.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Company accounts for goodwill in a business combination as the excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets acquired and is assigned to the reporting unit in which the acquired business will operate. The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair value of the reporting unit. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units based on an average weighting of both projected discounted future results and the use of comparative market multiples. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of loss, if any.
The recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount to the fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets principally based on a variation of the income approach, known as the relief from royalty method. If the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the indefinite-lived intangible asset is considered impaired.
Business combinations can also result in other intangible assets being recognized. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life and include contractual agreements and customer relationships and intellectual property. No significant residual values are estimated for the amortizable intangible assets.
Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and finite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the asset or asset group is measured by comparing its carrying amount to the undiscounted future net cash flows the asset is expected to generate. If the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is not recoverable, the Company recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group over its respective fair value, which is generally determined as the present value of estimated future cash flows or as the appraised value.
Derivative Instruments
All derivative instruments are recorded gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use and designation of the derivative instrument. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative and the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), net of tax, and is subsequently reclassified into the line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the hedged items are recorded in the same period in which the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized immediately in current earnings. For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, gains and losses from changes in fair values are recognized in earnings. Cash receipts and cash payments related to derivative instruments are recorded in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Foreign Currency Transactions
For the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that use a currency other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency, the assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. The effects of these translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity involved are included in operating income.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from production and product management services (collectively referred to as “manufacturing services”), which encompasses the act of producing tangible components that are built to customer specifications, which are then provided to the customer. The Company recognizes manufacturing services revenue when such tangible components are shipped to or the goods are received by the customer, title and risk of ownership have
Table of Contents
passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured (net of estimated returns). The Company also derives revenue to a lesser extent from electronic design services to certain customers. Revenue from electronic design services is generally recognized upon completion and acceptance by the respective customer. Taxes collected from the Company’s customers and remitted to governmental authorities are presented within the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations on a net basis. The Company records shipping and handling costs reimbursed by the customer in revenue. Upfront payments from customers are recorded upon receipt as deferred income and are recognized as revenue as the related manufacturing services are provided.
Effective September 1, 2018, the Company’s revenue accounting policies will change in conjunction with the adoption of the accounting standard for revenue recognition. See further discussion of this new standard in Note 16—“New Accounting Guidance” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense, reduced for estimated forfeitures, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period for outstanding stock awards.
The stock-based compensation expense for time-based and performance based restricted stock is measured at fair value on the date of grant based on the number of shares expected to vest and the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock. For restricted stock awards with performance conditions, stock-based compensation expense is originally based on the number of shares that would vest if the Company achieved 100% of the performance goal, which is the intended outcome at the grant date. Throughout the requisite service period, management monitors the probability of achievement of the performance condition. If it becomes probable, based on the Company’s performance, that more or less than the current estimate of the awarded shares will vest, an adjustment to stock-based compensation expense will be recognized as a change in accounting estimate in the period that such probability changes.
The stock-based compensation expense for market-based restricted stock awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant. The market conditions are considered in the grant date fair value using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which utilizes multiple input variables to determine the probability of the Company achieving the specified market conditions. Stock-based compensation expense related to an award with a market condition will be recognized over the requisite service period regardless of whether the market condition is satisfied, provided that the requisite service period has been completed.
The Company currently expects to satisfy share-based awards with registered shares available to be issued.
See Note 11 – “Stockholders’ Equity” for further discussion of stock-based compensation expense.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date of the rate change. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance.
Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates its basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to Jabil Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The Company’s diluted earnings per share is calculated in a similar manner, but includes the effect of dilutive securities. The difference between the weighted average number of basic shares outstanding and the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding is primarily due to dilutive unvested restricted stock awards and dilutive stock appreciation rights.
Potential shares of common stock are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share when their effect would be antidilutive. Performance-based restricted stock awards are considered dilutive when the related performance criterion have been met assuming the end of the reporting period represents the end of the performance period. All potential shares of common stock are antidilutive in periods of net loss. Potential shares of common stock not included in the

computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been antidilutive or because the performance criterion was not met were as follows (in thousands):

| Stock appreciation rights | — | 265 | 2,381 | |||||||||
| Restricted stock awards | 2,426 | 4,539 | 7,599 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The three levels of the fair-value hierarchy include: Level 1 – quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Refer to Note 2 – “Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs”, Note 8 – “Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt”, Note 9 – “Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits” and Note 13 –“Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities” for disclosure surrounding the fair value of the Company’s deferred purchase price receivables, debt obligations, pension plan assets and derivative financial instruments, respectively.
The Company has $50.0 million in Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock of iQor Holdings, Inc. that accretes dividends at an annual rate of 8 percent and is redeemable on March 31, 2023 or upon a change in control. The Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock is valued each reporting period using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) based on an interest rate lattice model and is classified as an available for sale security with an unrealized loss recorded to AOCI. The unobservable inputs have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculation of the Senior Non-Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. As of August 31, 2018 and 2017, the fair value was $47.3 million and $49.8 million, respectively, and is included within other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
2. Trade Accounts Receivable Securitization and Sale Programs
The Company regularly sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable under two asset-backed securitization programs and nine uncommitted trade accounts receivable sale programs (collectively referred to herein as the “programs”). The Company continues servicing the receivables sold and in exchange receives a servicing fee under each of the programs. Servicing fees related to each of the programs recognized during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were not material. The Company does not record a servicing asset or liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as the Company estimates that the fee it receives to service these receivables approximates the fair market compensation to provide the servicing activities.
Transfers of the receivables under the programs are accounted for as sales and, accordingly, net receivables sold under the programs are excluded from accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are reflected as cash provided by operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Asset-Backed Securitization Programs
The Company continuously sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable, at a discount, under its North American asset-backed securitization program and its foreign asset-backed securitization program (collectively referred to herein as the “asset-backed securitization programs”) to special purpose entities, which in turn sell 100% of the receivables to: (i) conduits administered by unaffiliated financial institutions for the North American asset-backed securitization program and (ii) to an unaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution for the foreign asset-backed securitization program. Any portion of the purchase price for the receivables not paid in cash upon the sale occurring is recorded as a deferred purchase price receivable, which is paid from available cash as payments on the underlying receivables are collected.
The special purpose entity in the North American asset-backed securitization program is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The special purpose entity in the foreign asset-backed securitization program is a separate bankruptcy-remote entity whose assets would be first available to satisfy the creditor claims of the unaffiliated financial institution. The Company is deemed the primary beneficiary of this special purpose entity as the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to
Table of Contents
receive the benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity from the transfer of the trade accounts receivable into the special purpose entity. Accordingly, the special purpose entities associated with these asset-backed securitization programs are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Following is a summary of the asset-backed securitization programs and key terms:
| Maximum Amount of Net Cash Proceeds (in millions)(1) | Expiration Date | |||||||
| North American | $ | 200.0 | October 20, 2020 | (2) | ||||
| Foreign | $ | 400.0 | September 30, 2021 | (3) |
| (1) | Maximum amount available at any one time. |
|---|
| (2) | On October 9, 2018, the North American asset-backed securitization program was terminated and the Company repurchased the outstanding receivables. |
|---|
| (3) | On September 21, 2018, the foreign asset-backed securitization program terms were amended and the program was extended to September 30, 2021. Under the terms of the amended agreement, the Company continuously sells designated pools of trade accounts receivable to a special purpose entity, which in turn sells a portion of the receivables to an unaffiliated financial institution and a conduit administered by an unaffiliated financial institution. In connection with this amendment, there is no longer a deferred purchase price receivable for the foreign asset-backed securitization program. |

| (3) | Recorded initially at fair value as prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily discounted cash flows, and due to their credit quality and short-term maturity, the fair values approximated book values. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated credit losses and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value calculations. |
|---|
The asset-backed securitization programs require compliance with several covenants. The North American asset-backed securitization program covenants include compliance with the interest coverage ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio of the five-year unsecured credit facility amended as of November 8, 2017 (“the 2017 Credit Facility”). The foreign asset-backed securitization program covenants include limitations on certain corporate actions such as mergers and consolidations. As of August 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the asset-backed securitization programs.

| (1) | The U.S. federal statutory income tax rate was 25.7%, 35% and 35% for fiscal years ended August 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Act”), the Company will be subject to a blended U.S. federal tax rate of 25.7% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 and a 21.0% U.S. federal tax rate for future fiscal years. |
|---|
| (2) | For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the decrease in the impact of foreign tax rates was primarily due to a decrease in the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 25.7% due to the Tax Act. |
|---|
| (3) | For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the increase in the changes in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities was primarily due to the Tax Act. This increase excludes the impact of the enacted rate change on the U.S. valuation allowance. |
|---|
| (4) | The Tax Act introduced a one-time mandatory income inclusion of the historically untaxed foreign earnings of a U.S. company’s foreign subsidiaries and will effectively tax such income at reduced tax rates (“transition tax”). For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the transition tax related to the Tax Act reflects the $65.9 million provisional one-time transition tax inclusive of unrecognized tax benefits and the corresponding utilization of U.S. federal net operating losses and tax credits that historically had valuation allowances. |
|---|
Table of Contents
| (5) | For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the change in indefinite reinvestment assertion related to the Tax Act reflects the $85.0 million of foreign taxes that would be incurred upon future remittances of certain foreign earnings less the write off of a previously recorded U.S. deferred tax liability that is no longer taxable due to the Tax Act. |
|---|
| (6) | For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the valuation allowance decrease was due to utilization of U.S. federal net operating losses and tax credits against the one-time transition tax and the change in enacted tax rate applied to U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. The tax benefit from the valuation allowance reversal on U.S. federal net operating losses utilized in the one-time transition tax was $85.0 million. The valuation allowance decrease is partially offset by the current year increase of deferred tax assets in sites with existing valuation allowances. |
|---|
| (7) | For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the decrease in the impact of intercompany charges and dividends was due to a change in the U.S. taxation of foreign dividends as a result of the Tax Act. |

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation. The Tax Act reduced the corporate tax rate, limited or eliminated certain tax deductions, established the transition tax, and changed the taxation of foreign earnings of U.S. multinational companies. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (“SAB 118”), provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete, but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the Company made reasonable estimates related to certain impacts of the Tax Act and, in accordance with SAB 118, recorded a net provisional income tax expense of $142.3 million. This net provisional expense is mainly comprised of $65.9 million related to the one-time transition tax inclusive of unrecognized tax benefits, $(10.5) million related to the re-measurement of the Company’s U.S. deferred tax attributes, and $85.0 million related to a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain earnings from its foreign subsidiaries. For the three months ended August 31, 2018, the Company recorded $111.4 million associated with the Tax Act, mainly comprised of $24.9 million related to the one-time transition tax to adjust the amount recorded previously through the nine months ended May 31, 2018 and $85.0 million for the change in indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain earnings from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, resulting in a combined net increase of 29.8% to the Company’s effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018.
The calculation of the one-time transition tax of $65.9 million for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 is based upon preliminary estimates of post-1986 earnings and profits, applicable foreign tax credits and relevant limitations, utilization of U.S. federal net operating losses and tax credits and the amounts of foreign earnings held in cash and non-cash assets. The adjustment to the transition tax of $24.9 million for the three months ended August 31, 2018 was primarily related to further analysis of earnings and profits of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and utilization of foreign tax credits, a revised provisional calculation of foreign earnings held in cash and other specified assets, and the Company’s interpretation of additional regulatory guidance issued. The transition tax remains provisional pending additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, changes in interpretations and assumptions, and finalization of calculations of the impact of the Tax Act, including foreign earnings and profits of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries and applicable foreign tax credits and relevant limitations for fiscal year 2018.
The provisional income tax benefit of $(10.5) million recorded for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 relates to the re-measurement of the Company’s deferred tax balances, inclusive of valuation allowances, and is based primarily on the rates at which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to reverse in the current and future fiscal years. The enactment date re-measurement of U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities is provisional as the final re-measurement cannot be determined until the final calculation of underlying temporary differences is completed, rather than estimated. In addition, the Company is also analyzing the impact of the Tax Act to the existing valuation allowance assessments from both a federal and state tax perspective, which could potentially affect the realizability of the existing deferred tax assets.
The change in indefinite reinvestment assertion of $85.0 million recorded during the three months and fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 relates to certain foreign earnings and the foreign taxes that would be incurred upon future remittances of such earnings. This amount remains provisional as the Company completes further analysis of available distributable earnings from its foreign subsidiaries and continued review of its capital structure.

The Company is still evaluating the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions and the associated election to record its effects as a period cost or a component of deferred taxes. This analysis has not been completed due to the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, which is dependent, in part, on analyzing the Company’s global income to determine whether the Company expects to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and the associated estimated amount. Because the Company’s expectations around U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depend on its estimated future results of global operations and preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced, this accounting election remains open as of August 31, 2018.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the Company believes $142.3 million is a reasonable net estimate related to the Tax Act based on the analysis, interpretations and guidance available at this time. As the Company finalizes the accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the Tax Act during the measurement period, the Company will reflect adjustments to the provisional amounts recorded and record additional tax effects in the periods such adjustments are identified. For the reasons outlined above, the Company has not completed its accounting for any aspect of the Tax Act.
The Company has been granted tax incentives for its Brazilian, Chinese, Malaysian, Polish, Singaporean and Vietnamese subsidiaries. The majority of the tax incentive benefits expire at various dates through fiscal year 2028 and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. These subsidiaries generated income from continuing operations during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, resulting in a tax benefit of approximately $52.1 million ($0.30 per basic share), $38.6 million ($0.22 per basic share) and $50.5 million ($0.27 per basic share), respectively. The benefits of these incentives are classified as the impact of foreign tax rates and income tax credits in the reconciliation of income tax expense table above.

As of August 31, 2018, the Company had state (tax-effected) and foreign income tax net operating loss carry forwards (net of unrecognized tax benefits) of approximately $55.4 million and $318.0 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any. The net operating loss carry forwards in the Company’s major tax jurisdictions expire in fiscal years 2019 through 2038 or have an indefinite carry forward period. The Company has U.S. federal and state tax credit carry forwards of $65.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, which are available to reduce future taxes, if any. Most of the U.S.
Table of Contents
federal tax credits expire through fiscal year 2027. Most of the U.S. state tax credits expire through fiscal year 2027. As of August 31, 2018, the foreign jurisdiction tax credits include foreign investment tax credits of $23.3 million that expire predominantly in fiscal year 2027 and are based on the deferral method.
Based on the Company’s historical operating income, projection of future taxable income, scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances recorded. The net decreases in the total valuation allowance for the fiscal years ended August 31, 2018 and 2017 were $(62.1) million and $(59.3) million, respectively. The fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 decrease in valuation allowance is primarily related to the decrease of a U.S. federal net operating loss carry forward due to utilization against the one-time transition tax under the Tax Act. This decrease is partially offset by the increase of deferred tax assets in sites with existing valuation allowances.
As a result of the one-time transition tax, the Company will have a substantial amount of previously taxed earnings that can be distributed to the U.S. without additional U.S. federal taxation. Additionally, the Tax Act provides for a 100% dividends received deduction for dividends received by U.S. corporations from 10-percent or more owned foreign corporations. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the Company recorded liabilities of $85.0 million from a change in the indefinite reinvestment assertion on certain earnings from its foreign subsidiaries, primarily associated with foreign withholding taxes that would be incurred upon such future remittances of cash. Of these liabilities, $74.7 million remained as a deferred tax liability as of August 31, 2018 after current year remittances. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the remaining earnings from its foreign subsidiaries for which a deferred tax liability has not already been recorded. The accumulated earnings are the most significant component of the basis difference which is indefinitely reinvested. While the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the impact of the Tax Act on its indefinite reinvestment assertion, the Company continues to evaluate its indefinite reinvestment assertion and may further adjust this estimate during the measurement period. As of August 31, 2018, the indefinitely reinvested earnings in foreign subsidiaries upon which taxes had not been provided were approximately $2.4 billion. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable.

| Unrecognized tax benefits that would affect the effective tax rate (if recognized) | $ | 117,455 | $ | 75,223 | $ | 72,152 | ||||||
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the additions for tax positions related to current year primarily related to the impacts of the Tax Act and U.S. taxation of certain intercompany transactions. It is reasonably possible that the August 31, 2018 unrecognized tax benefits could decrease during the next 12 months by $106.1 million, primarily related to a taxing authority ruling associated with an internal restructuring and a potential audit settlement associated with intercompany transactions. Both of these tax positions were previously offset with valuation allowances.
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, the additions for tax positions related to current year primarily related to certain non-U.S. net operating loss carry forwards, previously offset with a valuation allowance, that can no longer be recognized due to an internal restructuring.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company’s accrued interest and penalties were approximately $20.4 million and $27.1 million as of August 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognized interest and penalties of approximately $(6.7) million, $5.2 million and $1.8 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2009. In major non-U.S. jurisdictions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before August 31, 2008.
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its field examination of the Company’s tax returns for fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and issued a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) on May 27, 2015, which was updated on June 22, 2016. The IRS completed its field examination of the Company’s tax returns for fiscal years 2012 through 2014 and issued an RAR on April 19, 2017. The proposed adjustments in the RAR from both examination periods relate primarily to U.S. taxation of certain intercompany transactions. If the IRS ultimately prevails in its positions, the Company’s income tax payment due for the fiscal years 2009 through 2011 and 2012 through 2014 would be approximately $28.6 million and $5.3 million, respectively, after utilization of tax loss carry forwards available through fiscal year 2014. Also, the IRS has proposed interest and penalties with respect to fiscal years 2009 through 2011. The IRS may make similar claims in future audits with respect to these types of transactions. At this time, anticipating the amount of any future IRS proposed adjustments, interest, and penalties is not practicable.
The Company disagrees with the proposed adjustments and intends to vigorously contest these matters through the applicable IRS administrative and judicial procedures, as appropriate. As the final resolution of the proposed adjustments remains uncertain, the Company continues to provide for the uncertain tax positions based on the more likely than not standard. While the resolution of the issues may result in tax liabilities, interest and penalties that are significantly higher than the amounts accrued for these matters, management currently believes that the resolution will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that management’s beliefs will be realized.

| (4) | On November 8, 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated senior unsecured five-year credit agreement for additional working capital to support the continued growth of the business. The credit agreement provides for: (i) a Revolving Credit Facility in the initial amount of $1.8 billion, which may, subject to the lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased up to $2.3 billion (“the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a $500.0 million Term Loan Facility (“the 2017 Term Loan Facility”), collectively “the 2017 Credit Facility.” The 2017 Credit Facility expires on November 8, 2022. The 2017 Revolving Credit Facility is subject to two whole or partial one-year extensions, at the lender’s discretion. Interest and fees on the 2017 Credit Facility advances are based on the Company’s non-credit enhanced long-term senior unsecured debt rating as determined by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Service, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Ratings. |
|---|
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the interest rates on the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility ranged from 2.4% to 5.2% and the 2017 Term Loan Facility ranged from 2.6% to 3.5%. Interest is charged at a rate equal to (a) for the 2017 Revolving Credit Facility, either 0.000% to 0.575% above the base rate or 0.975% to 1.575% above the Eurocurrency rate and (b) for the 2017 Term Loan Facility, either 0.125% to 0.875% above the base rate or 1.125% to 1.875% above the Eurocurrency rate. The base rate represents the greatest of: (i) Citibank, N.A.’s prime rate, (ii) 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero. The Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR or adjusted CDOR, as applicable, for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders and a letter of credit fee based on the amount of outstanding letters of credit.
| (5) | On August 24, 2018, the Company entered into a senior unsecured two-year credit agreement for additional working capital to support the continued growth of the business. The credit agreement provides for: (i) a Revolving Credit Facility in the initial amount of $150.0 million (“the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a $350.0 million Term Loan Facility (“the 2018 Term Loan Facility”), collectively “the 2018 Credit Facility.” The 2018 Credit Facility expires on August 24, 2020. |
|---|
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, no draws were made on the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and $350.00 million was borrowed against the 2018 Term Loan Facility. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 the interest rate on the 2018 Term Loan Facility was 3.1%. Interest is charged at a rate equal to (a) for the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, either the base rate or 0.9750% above the Eurocurrency rate and (b) for the 2018 Term Loan Facility, either 0.125% above the base rate or 1.125% above the Eurocurrency rate. The base rate represents the greatest of: (i) Mizuho Bank, Ltd.’s prime rate, (ii) 0.50% above the federal funds rate, and (iii) 1.0% above one-month LIBOR, but not less than zero. The Eurocurrency rate represents adjusted LIBOR for the applicable interest period, but not less than zero. Fees include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders.
Additionally, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries had various additional credit facilities that finance their future growth and any corresponding working capital needs.
As of August 31, 2018, the Company has $2.3 billion in available unused borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facilities.

Debt Covenants
Borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements are subject to various covenants that limit the Company’s ability to: incur additional indebtedness, sell assets, effect mergers and certain transactions, and effect certain transactions with subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, the 2017 and 2018 Revolving Credit Facilities and the 4.900% Senior Notes contain debt leverage and interest coverage covenants. The Company is also subject to certain covenants requiring the Company to offer to repurchase the 5.625%, 4.700%, 4.900% or 3.950% Senior Notes upon a change of control. As of August 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
Fair Value
The estimated fair values of the Company’s publicly traded debt, including the 5.625%, 4.700% and 3.950% Senior Notes, were approximately $415.7 million, $503.5 million and $476.0 million respectively, as of August 31, 2018. The fair value estimates are based upon observable market data (Level 2 criteria). The estimated fair value of the Company’s private debt, the 4.900% Senior Notes, was approximately $306.5 million, as of August 31, 2018. This fair value estimate is based on the Company’s indicative borrowing cost derived from discounted cash flows (Level 3 criteria). The carrying amounts of borrowings under credit facilities and under loans approximates fair value as interest rates on these instruments approximates current market rates.
9. Postretirement and Other Employee Benefits
Postretirement Benefits
The Company has a qualified defined benefit pension plan for employees of Jabil Circuit UK Limited (the “UK plan”). The UK plan, which is closed to new participants, provides benefits based on average employee earnings over a three-year service period preceding retirement and length of employee service. The Company’s policy is to contribute amounts sufficient to meet minimum funding requirements as set forth in UK employee benefit and tax laws plus such additional amounts as are deemed appropriate by the Company.
Additionally, as a result of acquiring various other operations in Europe and Asia, the Company assumed both qualified and unfunded nonqualified retirement benefits covering eligible employees who meet age and service requirements (the “other plans”).
The UK plan and other plans are collectively referred to herein as the “plans.”

Assumptions
Weighted-average actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost and projected benefit obligation for the plans for the fiscal years 2018, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
| Pension | ||||||||||||
| 2018 | 2017 | 2016 | ||||||||||
| Net periodic benefit cost: | ||||||||||||
| Expected long-term return on plan assets(1) | 3.8 | % | 3.3 | % | 4.3 | % | ||||||

| Discount rate(2) | 2.2 | % | 2.3 | % | 1.7 | % |
| (1) | The expected return on plan assets assumption used in calculating net periodic benefit cost is based on historical return experience and estimates of future long-term performance with consideration to the expected investment mix of the plan. |
|---|
| (2) | The discount rate is used to state expected cash flows relating to future benefits at a present value on the measurement date. This rate represents the market rate for high-quality fixed income investments whose timing would match the cash outflow of retirement benefits. Other assumptions include demographic factors such as retirement, mortality and turnover. |
|---|
Plan Assets
The Company has adopted an investment policy for a majority of plan assets, which was set by plan trustees who have the responsibility for making investment decisions related to the plan assets. The plan trustees oversee the investment allocation, including selecting professional investment managers and setting strategic targets. The investment objectives for the assets are (1) to acquire suitable assets that hold the appropriate liquidity in order to generate income and capital growth that, along with new contributions, will meet the cost of current and future benefits under the plan, (2) to limit the risk of the plan assets from failing to meet the plan liabilities over the long-term and (3) to minimize the long-term costs under the plan by maximizing the return on the plan assets.
Investment policies and strategies governing the assets of the plans are designed to achieve investment objectives with prudent risk parameters. Risk management practices include the use of external investment managers; the maintenance of a portfolio diversified by asset class, investment approach and security holdings; and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet benefit obligations as they come due. Within the equity securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in a broad range of publicly traded securities including both domestic and international stocks. Within the debt securities class, the investment policy provides for investments in corporate bonds as well as fixed and variable interest debt instruments. The Company currently expects to achieve a target mix of 35% equity and 65% debt securities in fiscal year 2019.

The profit share in this contract is not based on actual investments, but, instead on a notional investment portfolio that is expected to return a pre-defined rate. Insurance contract assets are recorded at fair value and is determined based on the cash surrender value of the insured benefits which is the present value of the guaranteed funded benefits. Insurance contracts are valued using unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs), primarily by discounting expected future cash flows relating to benefits paid from a notional investment portfolio in order to determine the cash surrender value of the policy. The unobservable inputs consist of estimated future benefits to be paid throughout the duration of the policy and estimated discount rates, which both have an immaterial impact on the fair value estimate of the contract. |

12. Concentration of Risk and Segment Data
Concentration of Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various domestic and foreign financial institutions. Deposits held with the financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but may generally be redeemed upon demand. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of the financial institutions and attempts to limit exposure with any one institution. For trade receivables, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains an allowance for potential credit losses on trade receivables.
Sales of the Company’s products are concentrated among specific customers. For fiscal year 2018, the Company’s five largest customers accounted for approximately 48% of its net revenue and 80 customers accounted for approximately 90% of its net revenue. As the Company is a provider of manufacturing services and solutions and products are built based on customer specifications, it is impracticable to provide revenues from external customers for each product and service. Sales to the following customer that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net revenues, expressed as a percentage of consolidated net revenue, and the percentage of accounts receivable for the customer, were as follows:

The Company procures components from a broad group of suppliers. Some of the products manufactured by the Company require one or more components that are available from only a single source.
Segment Data
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses; for which separate financial information is available; and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to assess the performance of the individual segment and make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment.
The Company derives its revenue from providing comprehensive electronics design, production and product management services. The chief operating decision maker evaluates performance and allocates resources on a segment basis. The Company’s operating segments consist of two segments – EMS and DMS, which are also the Company’s reportable segments. The segments are organized based on the economic profiles of the services performed, including manufacturing capabilities, market strategy, margins, return on capital and risk profiles.
The EMS segment is focused around leveraging IT, supply chain design and engineering, technologies largely centered on core electronics, utilizing the Company’s large scale manufacturing infrastructure and the ability to serve a broad range of end markets. The EMS segment is typically lower-margin but high volume business that is produced at a quicker rate (i.e. cycle time) and in higher quantities and includes customers primarily in the automotive and transportation, capital equipment, computing and storage, defense and aerospace, digital home, industrial and energy, networking and telecommunications, point of sale and printing industries.
The DMS segment is focused on providing engineering solutions, with an emphasis on material sciences and technologies. The DMS segment is typically higher-margin business and includes customers primarily in the consumer wearables, healthcare, mobility and packaging industries.
Net revenue for the operating segments is attributed to the segment in which the service is performed. An operating segment’s performance is evaluated based on its pre-tax operating contribution, or segment income. Segment income is defined as net revenue less cost of revenue, segment selling, general and administrative expenses, segment research and development expenses and an allocation of corporate manufacturing expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. Segment income does not include amortization of intangibles, stock-based compensation expense and related charges, restructuring and related charges, distressed customer charges, acquisition and integration costs, loss on disposal of subsidiaries, settlement of receivables and related charges, impairment of notes receivable and related charges, goodwill impairment charges, business interruption and impairment charges, net, income (loss) from discontinued operations, gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, other expense, interest income, interest expense, income tax expense or adjustment for net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Total segment assets are defined as accounts receivable, inventories, net, customer-related property, plant and equipment, intangible assets net of accumulated amortization and goodwill. All other non-segment assets are reviewed on a global basis by management. Transactions between operating segments are generally recorded at amounts that approximate those at which we would transact with third parties.

13. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company’s financial performance and are referred to as market risks. The Company, where deemed appropriate, uses derivatives as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The primary market risks managed by the Company through the use of derivative instruments are foreign currency fluctuation risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
Forward contracts are put in place to manage the foreign currency risk associated with the anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses. A hedging relationship existed with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $293.4 million and $314.6 million as of August 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The related forward foreign exchange contracts have been designated as hedging instruments and are accounted for as cash flow hedges. The forward foreign exchange contract transactions will effectively lock in the value of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses against foreign currency fluctuations. The anticipated foreign currency denominated revenues and expenses being hedged are expected to occur between September 3, 2018 and May 31, 2019.
In addition to derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments and qualify for hedge accounting, the Company also enters into forward contracts to economically hedge transactional exposure associated with commitments arising from trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, fixed purchase obligations and intercompany transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the respective operating entity. The aggregate notional amount of these outstanding contracts as of August 31, 2018 and 2017, was $3.4 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively.
Table of Contents
The following table presents the fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments located on the Consolidated Balance Sheets utilized for foreign currency risk management purposes as of August 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):

| (1) | Classified as Level 2 in the fair-value hierarchy. |
|---|
The Company’s forward foreign exchange contracts are measured on a recurring basis at fair value, based on foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers.
The gains and losses recognized in earnings due to hedge ineffectiveness and the amount excluded from effectiveness testing were not material for all periods presented and are included as components of net revenue, cost of revenue, selling, general and administrative expense, which are the same line items in which the hedged items are recorded.
During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018, the Company recognized $29.6 million in foreign currency losses, which was offset by $48.7 million of gains from related forward contracts. Both the foreign currency losses and gains from forward contracts were recognized in cost of revenue. For the fiscal years ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, the amounts were immaterial and were recognized as components of cost of revenue.
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments for the 2018 Term Loan Facility. In connection with this transaction, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate as agreed upon with the respective counterparties and receives variable rate interest payments based on the three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $350.0 million and have been designated as hedging instruments and accounted for as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps were effective on August 24, 2018 and are scheduled to expire on August 24, 2020. The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at each settlement date.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge the variable interest rate payments for the 2017 Term Loan Facility. In connection with this transaction, the Company pays interest based upon a fixed rate as agreed upon with the respective counterparties and receives variable rate interest payments based on the one-month LIBOR. The interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million and have been designated as hedging instruments and accounted for as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps were effective on September 30, 2016 and are scheduled to expire on June 30, 2019. The contracts will be settled with the respective counterparties on a net basis at each settlement date.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, the Company entered into forward interest rate swap transactions to hedge the fixed interest rate payments for an anticipated debt issuance (the 3.950% Senior Notes). The swaps were accounted for as a cash flow hedge and had a notional amount of $200.0 million. Concurrently with the pricing of the 3.950% Senior Notes in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company settled the swaps. The fair value of the cash received for the swaps at settlement was $17.2 million. The effective portion of the swaps is recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of AOCI and is amortized as a reduction to interest expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations through January 2028. The effective portions of the swaps amortized as a reduction to interest expense during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2018 was not material.

2017 Restructuring Plan
On September 15, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors formally approved a restructuring plan to better align the Company’s global capacity and administrative support infrastructure to further optimize organizational effectiveness. This action includes headcount reductions across the Company’s selling, general and administrative cost base and capacity realignment in higher cost locations (the “2017 Restructuring Plan”).
Upon completion of the 2017 Restructuring Plan, the Company expects to recognize approximately $195.0 million in restructuring and other related costs. The Company has incurred $186.4 million of costs-to-date as of August 31, 2018.

16. New Accounting Guidance
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
During fiscal year 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard which will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The new standard is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The accounting standard is effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.
The new standard will also impact the Company’s accounting for certain fulfillment costs, which include up-front costs to prepare for manufacturing activities that are expected to be recovered. Under the current accounting standard these costs are typically expensed as incurred. Under the new standard, such up-front costs would be recognized as an asset and amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of the transfer of the goods to which the asset relates.
The Company currently recognizes the majority of its revenue from contracts with customers at a point in time, which is generally when the goods are shipped to or received by the customer, title and risk of ownership have passed, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonable assured (net of estimated returns). Under the new accounting guidance, the Company will recognize revenue over time as manufacturing services are completed for the majority of its contracts with customers which will result in revenue being recognized earlier than under the historical guidance. Revenue for all other contracts with customers will be recognized at a point in time, upon transfer of control of the product to the customer, which is effectively no change to the Company’s historical current accounting.
The Company will adopt the new guidance under the modified retrospective approach with a cumulative adjustment increasing the opening balance of retained earnings by $30.0 million to $60.0 million, net of tax. Prior periods will not be retrospectively adjusted.
While the Company is substantially complete with the process of quantifying the impacts that will result from applying the new guidance, its assessment will be finalized during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. The Company has substantially completed the implementation of changes to its processes, policies and internal controls to meet the impact of the new standard and disclosure requirements.
During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, and must be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the Consolidated Balance
Table of Contents
Sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption and applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption of the standard. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the impact on future periods will depend on the facts and circumstances of future transactions.
During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard revising lease accounting. The new guidance requires organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and disclose key information regarding leasing arrangements. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. Early application of the new standard is permitted and the standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. In preparation for the adoption, the Company is implementing a new lease accounting system. The adoption of this standard will impact the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During fiscal year 2016, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to address the presentation of certain transactions within the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. Adoption of this standard will be required on a retrospective basis and will result in a reclassification of cash flows from operating activities to investing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for cash receipts for the deferred purchase price receivable on asset-backed securitization transactions. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019.

This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019. This guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the impact on future periods will depend on the facts and circumstances of future transactions.

The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements; however, the impact on future periods will depend on the facts and circumstances of future transactions.

SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete, but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements. If a company cannot determine a
