NOTE 13—INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act, which includes provisions for Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (GILTI) under which taxes on foreign income are imposed on the excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign subsidiaries. Consistent with accounting guidance, we have elected to account for the tax on GILTI as a period cost and thus have not adjusted any net deferred tax assets of our foreign subsidiaries in connection with the Tax Act.
Due to the complexity of the Tax Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued guidance in SAB 118 which clarified the accounting for income taxes under ASC 740 if certain information was not yet available, prepared or analyzed in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for income tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provided for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment of the Tax Act, during which time the required analyses and accounting must be completed. During fiscal year 2018, we recorded provisional amounts for the income tax effects of the changes in tax law and tax rates, as reasonable estimates were determined by management during this period. These amounts did not change in fiscal year 2019.
The SAB 118 measurement period ended on December 22, 2018. Although we no longer consider these amounts to be provisional, the determination of the Tax Act’s income tax effects may change following future legislation or further interpretation of the Tax Act based on the publication of recently proposed U.S. Treasury regulations and guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and state tax authorities.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (in thousands, except for share and per share data)
NOTE 18 — Income Taxes
The long-term deferred tax assets and long-term deferred tax liabilities are as follows below:
At each reporting date, we weigh all available positive and negative evidence to assess whether it is more-likely-than-not that the Company's deferred tax assets, including deferred tax assets associated with accumulated loss carryforwards and tax credits in the various jurisdictions in which it operates, will be realized. As of December 31, 2019, and 2018, we recorded deferred tax assets related to certain U.S. state and non-U.S. income tax loss carryforwards of $4,724 and $4,647, respectively, and U.S. and non- U.S. tax credits of $15,964 and $16,909, respectively. The deferred tax assets expire in various years primarily between 2021 and 2039.
Generally, we assess if it is more-likely-than-not that our net deferred tax assets will be realized during the available carry-forward periods. As a result, we have determined that valuation allowances of $8,011 and $8,274 should be provided for certain deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019, and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the valuation allowances relate to certain U.S. state and non-U.S. loss carry-forwards and certain U.S. state tax credits that management does not anticipate will be utilized.
No valuation allowance was recorded in 2019 against the U.S. federal foreign tax credit carryforwards of $5,785, which expire in varying amounts between 2023 and 2029 as well as the research and development tax credits of $7,495, which expire in varying amounts between 2021 and 2039. We assessed the anticipated realization of those tax credits utilizing future taxable income projections. Based on those projections, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that we will realize the benefits of these credit carryforwards.

Note 5. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company measures and reports certain cash equivalents, including money market funds and certificates of deposit, in addition to its long-term investments at fair value in accordance with the provisions of the authoritative accounting guidance that addresses fair value measurements. This guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available
The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Other inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or 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 asset or liability
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are based on management’s assumptions, including fair value measurements determined by using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques
The financial assets carried at fair value were determined using the following inputs (in thousands):
The Company’s other financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities, are carried at cost, which approximates fair-value due to the relatively short maturity of those instruments.

Property and equipment, net (in millions):
In September 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell certain land and buildings located in Sunnyvale, California, with a book value of $118 million, for a total of $306 million, through two separate and independent closings. Upon the completion of the first closing in fiscal 2018, we consummated the sale of properties with a net book value of $66 million for cash proceeds of $210 million, resulting in a gain, net of direct selling costs, of $142 million. The remaining properties, consisting of land with a net book value of $52 million, were classified as assets held-for-sale, and included as other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets as of April 26, 2019 and April 27, 2018. We will consummate the sale of these properties, and receive cash proceeds of $96 million, upon the completion of the second closing, which is expected to occur within the next 12 months. That closing is subject to due diligence, certain termination rights and customary closing conditions, including local governmental approval of the subdivision of a land parcel.

Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated using the two-class method, which allocates earnings among common stock and participating securities to calculate EPS when an entity's capital structure includes either two or more classes of common stock or common stock and participating securities. Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities.
As such, shares of any unvested restricted stock of the Company are considered participating securities. The dilutive effect of options and their equivalents (including non-vested stock issued under stock-based compensation plans), is computed using the "treasury" method as this measurement was determined to be more dilutive between the two available methods in each period.
The Company had no dilutive common share equivalents during the year ended December 31, 2019, due to the results of operations being a loss from continuing operations, net of tax. The following potential weighted common shares were excluded from diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2018 as the shares were antidilutive: 2,168,454 for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company's stock, 353,960 for unvested restricted stock awards, and 4,919,760 for convertible preferred stock.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) used in basic and diluted EPS calculations (in millions, except per share amounts):

The UK and Ireland business-to-business market remains challenging. The main headwind we face is the decline in traditional calls and lines where we have a relatively high market share. The IP Voice market is significantly more fragmented, with a large number of providers, and we are focused on expanding our share in this growing market.
The mobile market remains competitive and we continue to see pressure on pricing. While overall growth in the broadband market is limited, we are seeing good demand for our premium products such as fibre and 4G Assure. Newer areas such as the Internet of Things, Cloud, SDWAN and security remain good opportunities for us over the longer term.
Adjusted a revenue decreased 5% for the year mainly due to the ongoing decline of fixed voice revenue. We continue to see a steeper than expected reduction in calls per fixed line as usage moves to mobile and IP. We continue to sell less low margin equipment and also experienced ongoing declines in some of our other legacy products such as private circuits. This was partially offset by growth in IP, Mobile and Networking. We’re also continuing to see encouraging growth in messaging volumes in Ventures.
Adjusted a operating costs reduced 6%, helped by labour cost efficiencies from our cost transformation programmes. Adjusteda EBITDA decreased 4%, with our lower cost base more than offset by the reduction in revenue.
Capital expenditure increased 2% and normalised free cash flowb decreased 7%, reflecting the reduction in EBITDA and the higher capital expenditure.
The Retail order intake decreased 15% to £2.9bn for the year due to the signing of a large contract in Republic of Ireland in the prior year. The Wholesale order intake declined 22% to £1.0bn after 2017/18 benefitted from a number of large deals, including the timing of some contract renewals.
a Adjusted measures exclude specific items, as explained in the Additional Information on page 185. b Free cash flow after net interest paid, before pension deficit payments (including the cash tax benefit of pension deficit payments) and specific items. d Enterprise comparatives have been re-presented to reflect the bringing together of our Business and Public Sector and Wholesale and Ventures units into a single Enterprise unit, as well as the transfer of Northern Ireland Networks from Enterprise to Openreach.

These pro forma results do not necessarily represent what would have occurred if all the business combination had taken place on January 1, 2018, nor do they represent the results that may occur in the future.
This pro forma financial information includes our historical financial statements and those of our OpenEye business combination with the following adjustments: (i) we adjusted the pro forma amounts for income taxes, (ii) we adjusted for amortization expense assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied beginning January 1, 2018, and (iii) we adjusted for transaction fees incurred and reclassified them to January 1, 2018.

Cloud & Cognitive Software revenue increased in 2018 compared to the prior year with growth in all three lines of business, as reported and adjusted for currency. Within Cognitive Applications, the increase was driven by strong double-digit growth in security services, while growth in Cloud & Data Platforms was led by analytics platforms and integration offerings. Transaction Processing Platforms grew with improved revenue performance sequentially in the fourth-quarter 2018 versus the third-quarter 2018 reflecting clients’ commitment to the company’s platform for the long term and the value it provides in managing mission-critical workloads. Within Cloud & Cognitive Software, cloud revenue of $3.0 billion grew 10 percent as reported and adjusted for currency compared to the prior year.
* Recast to reflect segment changes.
Gross margin in Cloud & Cognitive Software was impacted by an increased mix toward SaaS, a mix toward security services and increased royalty costs associated with IP licensing agreements compared to the prior year. Pre-tax income improvement year to year was primarily driven by operational efficiencies and mix.

the fair value of our notes is classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy since it is determined based upon observable market inputs including quoted market prices in an active market .

rental expense for operating leases was approximately $ 211.5 million , $ 168.4 million and $ 148.5 million during the years ended december 31 , 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively .
we guarantee the residual values of the majority of our truck and equipment operating leases .
the residual values decline over the lease terms to a defined percentage of original cost .
in the event the lessor does not realize the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold , we would be responsible for a portion of the shortfall .
similarly , if the lessor realizes more than the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold , we would be paid the amount realized over the residual value .
had we terminated all of our operating leases subject to these guarantees at december 31 , 2016 , our portion of the guaranteed residual value would have totaled approximately $ 59.0 million .
we have not recorded a liability for the guaranteed residual value of equipment under operating leases as the recovery on disposition of the equipment under the leases is expected to approximate the guaranteed residual value .
litigation and related contingencies we have certain contingencies resulting from litigation , claims and other commitments and are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business .
we currently expect that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect our financial position , results of operations or cash flows. .
