Any failure to prevent or mitigate security breaches or cyber risks or detect, or respond adequately to, a security breach or cyber risk, or any other disruptions to our information technology [removed: systems and networks, can have adverse effects on our business.]
Such events could [removed: affect] [added: decrease] the demand for our [removed: sports titles.][added: products and services, make it difficult or impossible for us to]
*Grand Theft Auto* products contributed [removed: 29.2%] [added: 30.9%] of our net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] and the five best-selling franchises (including *Grand Theft Auto*), which may change year over year, in the aggregate accounted for [removed: 84.1%] [added: 83.2%] of our net revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
[removed: We also compete with game publishers, such as Activision Blizzard, Inc., Electronic Arts Inc., and Ubisoft Entertainment S.A.] As our business is dependent upon our ability to develop hit titles, which require increasing budgets for development and marketing, the availability of significant financial resources has become a major competitive factor in developing and marketing software games.
Additionally, in order to stay competitive, our internal development studios must anticipate and adapt to rapid technological changes affecting software development, such as cloud-based game [removed: streaming.][added: streaming, and evolving business models, such as free-to-play and subscription-based access to a portfolio of interactive content, to stay competitive.]
[removed: Because sales associated] with [removed: an initial product launch generally constitute a high percentage of] the [removed: total sales associated with the] life of a product, delays in product releases or disruptions following the commercial release of one or more new products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results and therefore cause our operating results to be materially different from our expectations.

The risk of such threats may be heightened as a result of [added: international conflicts such as the one between Russia and Ukraine or as a result of] an extended period of remote work arrangements due to COVID-19.

We have also grown our product offerings that are available through digital download, including virtual currency, through our existing franchises such as [removed: *Grand] [added: Grand] Theft [removed: Auto*] [added: Auto] and [removed: *NBA 2K*,] [added: NBA 2K,] as well as through our mobile product offerings.
For example, we may offer games that do not attract sufficient purchases of virtual currency, which may cause our investments into this product space, such as through our acquisitions of Social Point and [removed: Playdots,] [added: Playdots or our pending acquisition of Zynga,] to fail to realize the expected benefits.
We are also highly dependent on the expertise, skills and knowledge of our key creative personnel responsible [added: for content creation and development of our *Grand Theft Auto* and other hit titles and titles based on other brands.]
[removed: for content creation and development] [added: - We are dependent on the future success] of our [removed: *Grand] [added: Grand] Theft [removed: Auto*] [added: Auto products] and other [removed: hit titles and] [added: “hit”] titles [removed: based on other brands.]

[removed: In addition, our results] [added: - Results] of operations may be [added: impacted by COVID-19]
[added: In addition, our results of operations may be] adversely affected if certain of our customers who purchase on credit terms are no longer eligible to purchase on such terms due to their financial distress or lack of credit insurance, which may reduce the quantity of products they demand from us.
These agreements typically require us to make development payments, pay [removed: royalties, and satisfy other conditions.]
[added: We may be] unable to continue to enter into license agreements for certain current generation platforms on satisfactory terms or at all.
The ESRB system provides consumers with information about game content using a rating symbol that generally suggests the [added: appropriate player age group and specific content descriptors, such as graphic violence, profanity or sexually explicit material.]
In some instances, we may have to modify our products in order to market them under the target [removed: rating, which could delay or disrupt the release of our products.]
In either the U.S. or other countries, trade legislation, such as a change in the current tariff structures, import/export compliance laws, [added: a change in the relationship between either us] or [added: the U.S. and any country in which we have significant operations or sales, or] other trade laws or policies, could adversely affect our ability to sell or to distribute in international markets.
[added: Additionally, cultural differences may affect consumer preferences and as a result, some of] our "hit" products may not sell as well as they do in the U.S. Cultural differences may also require us to modify the content of our products or the method by which we charge our customers.
[added: We may need to] produce and distribute patches in order to repair such errors, which could be costly and may distract our developers from working on new products.
Competition for these licenses may also increase the advances, guarantees [added: and royalties that we must pay to the licensor, which could significantly increase our costs and adversely affect our profitability.]
Our Credit Agreement also requires us to satisfy specified financial covenants and comply with other affirmative [removed: and negative covenants.]
GDPR and DPA 2018 contain [removed: significant penalties for non-compliance.]
[added: If that were to occur, we may be required to] seek licenses, authorizations, or approvals from relevant regulators, the granting of which may be dependent on us meeting certain capital and other requirements and we may be subject to additional regulation and oversight, all of which could significantly increase our operating costs.
[removed: In addition, we believe that interactive entertainment software will increasingly become] the [removed: subject of claims that such software infringes on the] intellectual property rights of others with both the growth of online functionality and advances in technology, game content and software graphics as games become more realistic.
In the U.S., proposals have also been made by numerous state legislators to regulate and prohibit the sale of interactive entertainment software products containing certain types of violent or sexual content to audiences under the ages of 17 or [removed: 18 ,] [added: 18,] such as the State of California's "ultraviolent video games law" that sought to ban the sale or rental of violent video games to minors.
[removed: On March 11, 2021,] [added: In addition,] the U.S. enacted the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) which provided numerous tax and other stimulus measures.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, [removed: 2021, 40.2%] [added: 2022, 40.1%] of our net revenue was earned outside the U.S. We are continuing to execute on our growth initiatives in Asia, where our strategy is to broaden the distribution of our existing products and expand our online gaming presence, especially in China and South Korea.
We are subject to risks inherent in foreign trade, including increased credit risks, tariffs, and duties, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, shipping delays, and international political, regulatory and economic developments, [added: such as those relating to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine,] all of which can have a significant influence on our operating results.
[added: Such events may adversely impact critical infrastructure,] have the potential to disrupt our business, our third-party suppliers, or the business of our customers, and may cause us to experience higher attrition, losses and additional costs to maintain or resume operations.
[removed: The sale of substantial amounts of our] common stock could adversely affect its price.
These risks are not presented in order of importance of probability of occurrence.*

In addition, numerous countries are evaluating their existing tax laws due in part to recommendations made by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD’s”) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project.
Although we cannot predict whether, or in what form, any legislation based on such proposals may be adopted by the countries in which we do business, future tax reform based on such proposals may have an adverse impact on our effective tax rate, tax payments, and financial condition in future periods.
We are also required to pay taxes other than income taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes, in both the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
We are regularly under examination by tax authorities with respect to these non-income taxes.
There can be no assurance that the outcomes from these examinations, changes in our business or changes in applicable tax law or interpretations will not have an adverse effect on our net income or loss and financial condition.
Such events may adversely impact critical infrastructure,

Recent Developments
*Pending Acquisition.* On January 9, 2022, we entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Zynga Inc. ("Zynga"), a leading developer of mobile games.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, Zynga stockholders will receive $3.50 in cash and a number of shares of our common stock equal to the exchange ratio for each share of Zynga common stock outstanding at the closing.
The transaction is valued at $9.86 per share of Zynga common stock based on the market closing as of January 7, 2022, implying an enterprise value of $12.7 billion.
The transaction includes a collar mechanism on the equity consideration, so that if the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of Take-Two common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the consecutive period beginning at 9:30 a.m.
New York time on the twenty-third trading day immediately preceding the closing date of the transaction and concluding at 4:00 p.m.
New York time on the third trading day preceding such closing date is in a range from $156.50 to $181.88, the exchange ratio would be adjusted to deliver total consideration of $9.86 per Zynga share.
If the VWAP of our common stock for the period noted in the prior sentence exceeds the higher end of that range the exchange ratio would be 0.0350 per share, and, if the VWAP is below the lower end of that range, the exchange ratio would be 0.0406 per share.
The transaction, which is currently anticipated to close on Monday May 23, 2022, is subject to approval by Take-Two and Zynga stockholders and the satisfaction of the other customary closing conditions.
In connection with the transaction, on April 14, 2022, we completed our offering and sale of $2.7 billion aggregate principal amount of our senior notes, consisting of $1.0 billion principal amount of our 3.300% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”), $600 million principal amount of our 3.550% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), $600 million principal amount of our 3.700% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) and $500 million principal amount of our 4.000% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes” and, together with the 2024 Notes, the 2025 Notes and the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”).The Notes were issued under an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”).
The Notes are the Company’s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsubordinated obligations.
The 2024 Notes mature on March 28, 2024 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.300%.
The 2025 Notes mature on April 14, 2025 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.550%.
The 2027 Notes mature on April 14, 2027 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.700%.
The 2032 Notes mature on April 14, 2032 and bear interest at an annual rate of 4.000%.
We will pay interest on the 2024 Notes semiannually on March 28 and September 28 of each year, commencing September 28, 2022.
We will pay interest on each of the 2025 Notes, 2027 Notes and 2032 Notes semi-annually on April 14 and October 14 of each year, commencing October 14, 2022.
As
expected, during fiscal year 2022, we experienced a moderation in engagement from the all-time highs experienced in fiscal year 2021, but overall engagement continued to be notably higher than it was pre-pandemic.
The majority of our offices either have reopened or are scheduled to reopen in the coming months.
Given the evolving dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to adhere to safety standards in the planning and implementation of our return to office.
To date, our plans have resulted in minimal disruption.
To date we have announced that, during fiscal year 2023, 2K will release *The Quarry,* *Marvel's Midnight Suns, NBA 2K23*, *WWE 2K23*, and *PGA TOUR 2K23*, and Private Division will release *Kerbal Space Program 2*.
We acquired Nordeus Limited ("Nordeus") on June 1, 2021, for initial consideration having an acquisition date fair value of $289.8 million, consisting of $132.9 million in cash, the issuance of 0.5 million shares of our common stock, and a contingent earn-out consideration arrangement that requires us to pay up to an aggregate of $153.0 million in cash if Nordeus achieves certain performance measures over the 12- and 24-month periods following the closing (refer to [Note 22 - Acquisitions](#i5eb7319ae71743c2ad7826a0ce88602b_184)).
Founded in 2010, Nordeus is a free-to-play mobile game company based in Belgrade, Serbia, best known for *Top Eleven*.
Our operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 decreased compared to the operating income for fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, due to (i) higher operating expenses for personnel and marketing and (ii) increases in the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability related to our June 2021 acquisition of Nordeus.

These
decreases were partially offset by an increase in Net Bookings from *Top Eleven*, which was part of our Nordeus acquisition in June 2021; *Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands*, which released in March 2022; *Two Dots*, which was part of our Playdots acquisition in September 2020; and our *WWE 2K* franchise, including *WWE 2K22*, which released in March 2022.

However, we cannot be certain as to the duration of these effects, the impact of vaccination efforts or of the lifting of certain restrictions on them, and the potential offsetting impacts of deteriorating economic conditions and decreased consumer spending generally.
We expect that engagement trends will continue to be notably higher than they were pre-pandemic; however, as the return to normalcy continues, we expect a moderation of the trends that benefited our industry over the past year.
March 31, 2021.
During fiscal year 2021, we released new content for a number of our biggest franchises, including, but not limited to *Grand Theft Auto Online, Red Dead Online, Borderlands,* and *Sid Meier’s Civilization*.
Our 2K label also released *NBA 2K21* and *PGA TOUR 2K21*.
Our operating income for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 increased compared to the operating income for fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, due primarily to higher Gross profit, which was due primarily to higher revenue from the titles described above, lower capitalized software amortization as a percentage of net revenue, and lower internal royalties as a percentage of net revenue, partially offset by higher Operating expenses primarily due to higher headcount.

The increase was due primarily to an increase in net revenue of (i) $378.6 million from our *NBA 2K* franchise*,* (ii) $267.4 million from *Grand Theft Auto Online* and *Grand Theft Auto V,* (iii) $75.5 million from our *Mafia* franchise, (iv) $65.0 million from *PGA TOUR 2K21,* which released in August 2020, (vi) $24.1 million from *Dragon City,* and (vii) $20.5 million from *Two Dots,* which was part of our Playdots.
acquisition completed in September 2020*.* These increases were offset by a decrease in net revenue of (i) $226.4 million from *Borderlands 3,* which released in September 2019, (ii) $217.8 million from *Red Dead Redemption 2,* which released on PC in November 2019, and (iii) $124.7 million from *The Outer Worlds,* which released in October 2019.
*Civilization VI,* *Dragon City* and *Two Dots*.
The percentage increase was due primarily to lower capitalized software amortization as a percentage of net revenue based on the timing of releases and a reversal of stock-based compensation expense as a result of forfeited awards (see [N](#id55210c8f40244b886767e1bec81de64_163)[ote 17](#id55210c8f40244b886767e1bec81de64_163) [- Stock](#id55210c8f40244b886767e1bec81de64_163)[\-B](#id55210c8f40244b886767e1bec81de64_163)[ased](#id55210c8f40244b886767e1bec81de64_163) [Compensation](#id55210c8f40244b886767e1bec81de64_163)), partially offset by higher internal royalties as a percentage of net revenue due to the timing of when royalties are earned, and product mix.

Selling and marketing expenses decreased by $13.4 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the prior year, due primarily to $49.1 million in lower overall marketing expenses due primarily to less spend on *Borderlands 3* and *Red Dead Redemption 2*, partially offset by marketing expenses for *Two Dots* with no comparable costs in the prior year period.
The net decrease was partially offset by an increase in personnel expenses, primarily due to increased headcount.

The decrease was due primarily to a $28.6 million decrease in interest income due to lower interest rates.
These benefits were partially offset by tax expense of $19.8 million from the reversal of net deferred tax benefits relating to the Altera case.
Since we recognize excess tax benefits on a discrete basis, we anticipate that our effective tax rate will vary from quarter to quarter depending on our stock price in each period.
ARPA includes several revenue-raising and business provisions.
One such provision that impacts the Company is the expansion of the limitation of compensation deductions for certain covered employees of publicly held corporations.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, as enacted in December 2017, includes a number of provisions, which generally establish a territorial-style system for taxing foreign income of domestic multinational corporations.
Our current intention is to reinvest indefinitely the earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, and, therefore, we have not recorded any material tax liabilities associated with the repatriation of foreign earnings.

Since short-term investments mature relatively quickly and can be reinvested at the [removed: then current] [added: then-current] market rates, interest income on a portfolio consisting of short-term securities is more subject to market fluctuations than a portfolio of longer-term maturities.
As of March 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] we had [removed: $1,308.7] [added: $820.1] million of short-term investments, which included [removed: $729.9] [added: $688.3] million of available-for-sale securities.
We also had [removed: $1,422.9] [added: $1,732.0] million of cash and cash equivalents that are comprised primarily of money market [removed: funds and bank-time deposits.]
We determined that, based on the composition of our investment portfolio, there was no material interest rate risk exposure to our Consolidated Financial Statements or liquidity as of March 31, [removed: 2021.][added: 2022.]
Under our Credit Agreement, loans will bear interest at [removed: a rate] [added: our election] of (a) 0.250% to 0.750% above a certain base rate [removed: (3.25%] [added: (3.50%] at March 31, [removed: 2021)] [added: 2022)] or (b) 1.125% to 1.750% above [added: the] LIBOR (approximately [removed: 1.10%] [added: 0.45%] at March 31, [removed: 2021), which rates are determined by reference] [added: 2022), with the margin rate subject] to [removed: our consolidated total net leverage ratio.][added: the achievement of certain average liquidity levels.]

Accounts relating to foreign operations are translated into [removed: United States] [added: U.S.] dollars using prevailing exchange rates at the relevant period end.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] and [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] our foreign currency translation adjustment was a [removed: gain] [added: loss] of [removed: $51.3] [added: $43.6] million and a [removed: loss] [added: gain] of [removed: $27.4] [added: $51.3] million, respectively.
We recognized a foreign currency exchange transaction [removed: gain] [added: loss] of [removed: $0.7] [added: $7.3] million, a [removed: loss] [added: gain] of [removed: $3.6] [added: $0.7] million, and a loss of [removed: $0.5] [added: $3.6] million for the fiscal years ended March 31, [added: 2022,] 2021, [removed: 2020,] and [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] respectively, in Interest and other, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with non-functional currency denominated cash balances and [removed: inter-company] [added: intercompany] funding loans, non-functional currency denominated accounts receivable and non-functional currency denominated accounts payable.
At March 31, [removed: 2020,] [added: 2022,] we had [removed: $52.6] [added: $75.8] million of forward contracts outstanding to buy foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars and [removed: $122.0] [added: $132.8] million of forward contracts outstanding to sell foreign currencies in exchange for U.S. dollars all of which have maturities of less than one year.
For the fiscal years ended March 31, [removed: 2021, 2020] [added: 2022, 2021] and [removed: 2019,] [added: 2020,] we recorded a [removed: loss] [added: gain] of [removed: $3.6] [added: $5.9] million, a loss of [removed: $1.0] [added: $3.6] million, and a [removed: gain] [added: loss] of [removed: $16.8] [added: $1.0] million, respectively, related to foreign currency forward contracts in Interest and other, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*Pending Acquisition.* On January 9, 2022, we entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Zynga Inc. ("Zynga"), a leading developer of mobile games.
Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, Zynga stockholders will receive $3.50 in cash and a number of shares of our common stock equal to the exchange ratio for each share of Zynga common stock outstanding at the closing.
The transaction is valued at $9.86 per share of Zynga common stock based on the market closing as of January 7, 2022, implying an enterprise value of $12.7 billion.
The transaction includes a collar mechanism on the equity consideration, so that if the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of Take-Two common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for the consecutive period beginning at 9:30 a.m.
New York time on the twenty-third trading day immediately preceding the closing date of the transaction and concluding at 4:00 p.m.
New York time on the third trading day preceding such closing date is in a range from $156.50 to $181.88, the exchange ratio would be adjusted to deliver total consideration of $9.86 per Zynga share.
If the VWAP of our common stock for the period noted in the prior sentence exceeds the higher end of that range the exchange ratio would be 0.0350 per share, and, if the VWAP is below the lower end of that range, the exchange ratio would be 0.0406 per share.
The transaction, which is currently anticipated to close on Monday, May 23, 2022, is subject to approval by Take-Two and Zynga stockholders and the satisfaction of the other customary closing conditions.

Notes mature on April 14, 2025 and bear interest at an annual rate of 3.550%.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] and [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] and the related notes (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 March 31, [removed: 2021] [added: 2022] and [removed: 2020,] [added: 2021,] and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] in conformity with U.S. 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 March 31, [removed: 2021,] [added: 2022,] 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 May [removed: 18, 2021] [added: 16, 2022] expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
| *Description of the Matter* | | | As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company capitalizes internally developed software costs, subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a product. As noted in Note 8, the Company had approximately [removed: $435.1] [added: $658.5] million of capitalized internally developed software as of March 31, [removed: 2021.] [added: 2022.] Auditing the Company’s determination of the establishment of technological feasibility was especially challenging because management’s determination of which products qualify and the related timing of capitalization requires significant judgment. | | |
| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit* | | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the internally developed software costs process. For example, we tested [removed: controls] [added: the control] over management’s evaluation of products that established technological feasibility. To test the Company’s capitalization of internally developed software costs, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, inspecting underlying documentation to support management’s conclusion on the establishment of technological feasibility in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. This included inspecting the product’s technical and game design documentation. We also held corroborative inquiries of Company personnel in product development roles to assess the Company’s conclusions as to the technological feasibility of its products. | | |

Accounting for Government Assistance
In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10, *Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance*, which requires annual disclosures that increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on any entity's financial statements.
We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this guidance on our disclosures.
Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, *Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers*.
Under this new standard, deferred revenue acquired in a business combination is measured pursuant to *ASC 606*, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*, rather than its assumed acquisition date fair value under the current guidance.
However, adoption in an interim period other than the first fiscal quarter requires an entity to apply the new guidance to all prior business combinations that have occurred since the beginning of the annual period in which the new guidance is adopted.
We early adopted this update for our fiscal year 2023 on April 1, 2022.
There was no impact of adopting this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance related to the accounting for leases codified under Topic 842, *Leases*, which we adopted on April 1, 2019.
As of March 31, 2021, the goodwill balance of one of our reporting units is $345,725, and a moderate reduction in its fair value may result in an impairment charge, which would be equal to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of such assets.

Accounting for Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, *Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement*, which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures.
Accounting for Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, *Financial Instruments - Credit Losses*, which replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that requires the reflection of expected credit losses and also requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates.
It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities.
For most financial instruments, the standard requires the use of a forward-looking expected loss model rather than
the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which generally results in the earlier recognition of credit losses on financial instruments.
No adjustment to retained earnings was recorded as a result of the adoption of this standard, which did not have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
We do not expect that the impact of the adoption will be material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
