We expect to fund future uses of cash with a combination of existing cash balances, cash generated from operating activities, borrowings under our revolving credit and accounts receivable securitization facilities, or new issuances of debt.

Purchase orders for inventory requirements and service contracts are not included in the table above. Generally, our purchase orders and contracts contain clauses allowing for cancellation. We do not have significant agreements to purchase material or goods that would specify minimum order quantities.

Liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, of $141.0 million were excluded from the table above as we cannot reasonably estimate the timing of these potential cash settlements with taxing authorities. See Note 11, “Income Taxes” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information related to unrecognized tax benefits.

Seasonality

Our operating results are not significantly affected by seasonal factors. Sales during the first and fourth quarters have historically been affected by a reduced level of activity primarily due to the impact of weather on projects. Sales typically increase beginning in March, with slight fluctuations per month through October. During periods of economic expansion or contraction, our sales by quarter have varied significantly from this pattern.

Recent Accounting Standards

See Note 2, “Accounting Policies” of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recently adopted and recently issued accounting standards.
