Cubic Transportation Systems
Sales: CTS sales increased 16% to $670.7 million in 2018 compared to $578.6 million in 2017 and were higher in North America and the U.K., but were slightly lower in Australia. Sales in 2018 were higher in the U.S. primarily due to system development on the New York New Fare Payment System contract, which was awarded in October 2017. Increased work on both development and service contracts, including work on new change orders in London also increased CTS sales for the year. Sales were also positively impacted in the U.K. and Australia due to the impact of exchange rates. The average exchange rates between the prevailing currencies in our foreign operations and the U.S. dollar resulted in an increase in CTS sales of $12.4 million for 2018 compared to 2017, primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound against the U.S. dollar.
Amortization of Purchased Intangibles: Amortization of purchased intangibles included in the CTS operating results totaled $5.2 million in 2018 and $5.7 million in 2017.
Operating Income: CTS operating income increased 52% in 2018 to $60.4 million compared to $39.8 million in 2017. For 2018, operating income was higher from increased volumes of system development work and services, including work on new projects and change orders, primarily in North America and the U.K. Operating income was also higher due to operational efficiencies and reductions in R&D spending. R&D expenses for CTS in 2017 included $6.4 million of system development expenses related to our anticipated contract with the New York Metropolitan Transit Authority that was awarded in early fiscal 2018; such expenses incurred in 2018 on this contract are classified as cost of sales. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 CTS implemented our new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, and as a result began depreciating the cost of certain capitalized software into its operating results. This resulted in a decrease in operating income of $4.2 million between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018. The average exchange rates between the prevailing currency in our foreign operations and the U.S. dollar resulted in an increase in CTS operating income of $2.2 million for 2018 compared to 2017.
Adjusted EBITDA: CTS Adjusted EBITDA increased 50% to $73.3 million in 2018 compared to $48.8 million in 2017 primarily due to the same items described in the operating income section above. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the same factors that drove the increase in operating income described above excluding the increase in depreciation and decrease in amortization which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA.
Table:
 | Fiscal 2018 | Fiscal 2017 | % Change
 |  | (in millions) | 
Sales | $ 670.7 | $  578.6 | 16 %
Operating income | 60.4 | 39.8 | 52
Adjusted EBITDA | 73.3 | 48.8 | 50


Question: What resulted in a higher operating income?
Answer: increased volumes of system development work and services, including work on new projects and change orders, primarily in North America and the U.K. Operating income was also higher due to operational efficiencies and reductions in R&D spending
Overview of the Markets We Serve
The U.S. mortgage loan servicing market is comprised of first and second lien mortgage loans. Even through housing downturns, the mortgage loan servicing market generally remains stable, as the total number of first lien mortgage loans outstanding tends to stay relatively constant. The number of second lien mortgage loans outstanding can vary based on a number of factors including loan-to-value ratios, interest rates and lenders' desire to own such loans.
While delinquent mortgage loans typically represent a small portion of the overall mortgage loan servicing market, the mortgage loan default process is long and complex and involves multiple parties, a significant exchange of data and documentation and extensive regulatory requirements. Providers in the default process must be able to meet strict regulatory guidelines, which we believe are best met through the use of proven technology.
The U.S. mortgage loan origination market consists of both purchase and refinance mortgage loan originations. The mortgage loan origination process is complex and involves multiple parties, significant data exchange and significant regulatory oversight, which requires a comprehensive, scalable solution developed by a company with substantial industry experience. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association ("MBA"), the U.S. mortgage loan origination market for purchase and refinance mortgage loan originations is estimated as follows (in billions):
Note: Amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.
(1) The 2019, 2018 and 2017 U.S. mortgage loan origination market for purchase and refinance originations is estimated by the MBA Mortgage Finance Forecast as of February 18, 2020, February 11, 2019 and October 16, 2018, respectively.

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
The Company’s contingent earn-out liabilities are measured at fair value. These liabilities were estimated using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of contingent consideration was determined based on a probability-based approach which includes projected results, percentage probability of occurrence and the application of a discount rate to present value the payments. A significant change in projected results, discount rate, or probabilities of occurrence could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of contingent earn-out liabilities are reflected in operating expenses on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
The following table presents the changes in Level 3 contingent earn-out liabilities:
In May 2019, the Company fully settled its Del Monte earn-out liability for $200. The long-term portion of contingent earn-out liabilities was $7,957 and $2,792 as of December 27, 2019 and December 28, 2018, respectively, and are reflected as other liabilities and deferred credits on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The remaining short-term portion of earn-out liabilities are reflected as accrued liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Contingent earn-out liability payments in excess of the acquisition date fair value of the underlying contingent earn-out liability are classified as operating activities on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows and all other such payments are classified as financing activities.

Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require Autodesk to develop its own assumptions. When determining fair value, Autodesk uses observable market data and relies on unobservable inputs only when observable market data is not available. Autodesk reviews for any potential changes on a quarterly basis, in conjunction with our fiscal quarter-end close.
Autodesk's cash equivalents, marketable securities, and financial instruments are primarily classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Autodesk values its securities on pricing from pricing vendors, who may use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1) or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly in determining fair value (Level 2). Autodesk's Level 2 securities are valued primarily using observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Autodesk's Level 3 securities consist of investments held in convertible debt securities, and derivative contracts.
A reconciliation of the change in Autodesk’s Level 3 items for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019 was as follows:

Question: What was the percentage change in operating income in 2019 from 2018?
Answer: 27.52
Calculation: ($241.4-$189.3)/$189.3
Investing Activities. Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities changed from a source of$65.7 million in 2018 to a use of $13.8 million in 2019. This change of$79.5 million primarily resulted from a decrease of$62.9 million in cash proceeds from the sale of company-operated restaurants, including repayments of notes issued in connection with 2018 refranchising transactions, and an increase of $9.8 million in capital expenditures.
Capital Expenditures — The composition of capital expenditures in each fiscal year is summarized in the table below (in thousands):
Our capital expenditure program includes, among other things, restaurant remodeling, information technology enhancements, and investments in new locations and equipment. In 2019, capital expenditures increased by $9.8 million primarily due to an increase of $16.2 million in purchases of assets intended for sale or sale and leaseback, partially offset by a $8.7 million decrease in restaurant capital maintenance and facility improvement spending mainly from a decrease in the average number of company-operated restaurants compared to the prior year. The increase in purchases of assets intended for sale or sale and leaseback was primarily due to the Company’s purchase of a commercial property in Los Angeles, California, on which an existing company restaurant and another retail tenant are located. The purchase price was $17.3 million, and we currently intend to sell the entire property and lease back the parcel on which our company operated restaurant is located within the next 12 months.
