ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (United States Dollars in thousands, except per share data and unless otherwise indicated)
Cash flows
We prepare our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows using the indirect method, under which we reconcile net income to cash flows provided by operating activities by adjusting net income for those items that impact net income, but may not result in actual cash receipts or payments during the period. The following table provides a summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows for the periods indicated.
Table:
 |  | Year Ended December 31, | 
 | 2019 | 2018 | 2017
Net cash provided by operating activities | $153,327 | $256,426 | $160,394
Net cash used in investing activities | $(15,381) | $(6,581) | $(4,135)
Net cash used in financing activities | $(150,604) | $(145,184) | $(30,535)


Question: What was the change in the Net cash used in investing activities between 2017 and 2019?
Answer: -11246
Calculation: -15,381-(-4,135)
(1) Fiscal 2018 was restated to comply with IFRS 15 and to reflect a change in accounting policy as well as to reclassify results from Cogeco Peer 1 as discontinued operations. For further details, please consult the "Accounting policies" and "Discontinued operations" sections.
(2) The non-controlling interest represents a participation of 21% in Atlantic Broadband's results by Caisse de dépot et placement du Québec ("CDPQ"), effective since the MetroCast acquisition on January 4, 2018.
Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter profit for the period from continuing operations and profit for the period from continuing operations attributable to owners of the Corporation increased by 21.8% and 20.8%, respectively, as a result of: • higher adjusted EBITDA; and • the decrease in financial expense.
Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter profit for the period and profit for the period attributable to owners of the Corporation increased by 26.1% and 25.2%, respectively, mainly due to a profit for the period from discontinued operations of $1.9 million due to working capital adjustments during the fourth quarter related to the sale of Cogeco Peer 1 compared to a loss for the period from discontinued operations of $1.1 million for the comparable period of the prior year in addition to the elements mentioned above.

Note 11. Non-current assets - deferred tax assets
Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses. Calculation of future taxable amounts involve the use of assumptions and management judgments.
A deferred tax asset can only be recorded for the portion of a potential benefit where utilisation is considered probable. The assessment of future taxable amounts involves the use of assumptions and management judgments. The Group has fully recognised a deferred tax asset of $79.3m in relation to assets previously transferred to USA. It is considered probable that there will be future taxable income in the USA to fully realise these temporary differences.

Note 9 – Leases
We have operating leases for office space, automobiles and various other equipment in the U.S. and in certain international locations. We also reviewed other contracts, such as manufacturing agreements and service agreements, for potential embedded leases. We specifically reviewed these other contracts to determine whether we have the right to substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of any specified assets or the right to direct the use of any specified assets, either of which would indicate the existence of a lease.
As of December 31, 2019, our operating leases had remaining lease terms of one month to six years, some of which included options to extend the leases for up to nine years, and some of which included options to terminate the leases within three months. For those leases that are reasonably assured to be renewed, we have included the option to extend as part of our right of use asset and lease liability. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less were not recorded on the balance sheet and lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense related to these short-term leases was $0.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, and is included in cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Lease expense related to variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate, such as real estate taxes and insurance reimbursements, was $0.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we elected to not separate lease and nonlease components. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Supplemental balance sheet information related to operating leases is as follows:
(1) Reflects the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019.

NOTE 8. INVENTORIES
The changes in the allowance for obsolescence are as follows:
On December 31, 2019, our allowance for inventory obsolescence amounted to €12,527, which is 6.7% of total inventory. The major part of the allowance is related to components and raw materials. The additions for the years 2018 and 2019 mainly relate to inventory items which ceased to be used due to technological developments and design changes which resulted in obsolescence of certain parts.
The cost of inventories recognized as costs and included in cost of sales amounted to €510.2 million (2018: €365.8 million).

Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased $47 million, or 30%, in 2019 compared to 2018. The overall increase was primarily due to increased employee compensation-related costs of $34 million, driven by headcount growth, and increased allocated shared costs of $8 million.
Research and development expenses increased $45 million, or 39%, in 2018 compared to 2017. The overall increase was primarily due to increased employee compensation-related costs of $36 million, driven by headcount growth, and increased allocated shared costs of $6 million.

(13) (Loss) Earnings Per Common Share
Basic and diluted (loss) earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were calculated as follows:
(1) For the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share 3.0 million shares and 4.6 million shares, respectively, potentially issuable under incentive compensation plans or convertible securities, as their effect, if included, would have been anti-dilutive.
Our calculation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share excludes shares of common stock that are issuable upon exercise of stock options when the exercise price is greater than the average market price of our common stock. We also exclude unvested restricted stock awards that are antidilutive as a result of unrecognized compensation cost. Such shares were 6.8 million, 2.7 million and 4.7 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities and Free Cash Flow
The following table presents a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow (in thousands, except for percentages):
Net cash provided by operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $115.5 million as compared to $90.3 million during the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to improved profitability, improved collections, and other working capital changes in 2019 when compared to the same period in 2018.
Free cash flow for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $72.8 million, resulting in a free cash flow margin of 12.6%, as compared to free cash flow of $49.8 million and a free cash flow margin of 9.3% for the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to both improved profitability and collections, and is partially offset by cash paid for interest on our convertible notes of $17.4 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. Refer to the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information on the convertible notes.
