Provision for Income Taxes: Our effective income tax rates for each of the periods presented were the result of the mix of income earned in various tax jurisdictions that apply a broad range of income tax rates. In fiscal 2018, the Tax Act was signed into law. The more significant provisions of the Tax Act as applicable to us are described above under “Impacts of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017”. refer to Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual report for a discussion regarding the differences between the effective income tax rates as presented for the periods below and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rates that were in effect during these periods. Future effective income tax rates could be adversely affected by an unfavorable shift of earnings weighted to jurisdictions with higher tax rates, by unfavorable changes in tax laws and regulations, by adverse rulings in tax related litigation, or by shortfalls in stock-based compensation realized by employees relative to stock-based compensation that was recorded for book purposes, among others.
Provision for income taxes decreased in fiscal 2019 relative to fiscal 2018 primarily due to the absence of the initial accounting charges related to the Tax Act that were recorded in fiscal 2018. To a lesser extent, provision for income taxes also decreased in fiscal 2019 due to the net favorable impacts of our final accounting for the Tax Act in fiscal 2019; the net favorable impacts of the Tax Act on our tax profile during fiscal 2019; the favorable impact of a tax benefit arising from an increase in a deferred tax asset associated with a partial realignment of our legal structure in fiscal 2019; and lower income before provision for income taxes in fiscal 2019. These decreases to our provision for income taxes in fiscal 2019 relative to fiscal 2018 were partially offset both by lower excess tax benefits related to stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2019, and by less favorable changes in net unrecognized tax benefits due to settlements with tax authorities and other events in fiscal 2019 relative to fiscal 2018.

Industry Overview
According to WSTS (an industry research firm), worldwide semiconductor industry sales were $412.1 billion in 2019, a decrease of approximately 12.1% from $468.8 billion in 2018. We participate in unit and revenue surveys and use data summarized by WSTS to evaluate overall semiconductor market trends and to track our progress against the market in the areas we provide semiconductor components. The following table sets forth total worldwide semiconductor industry revenue since 2015:
(1) Based on shipment information published by WSTS. We believe the data provided by WSTS is reliable, but we have not independently verified it. WSTS periodically revises its information. We assume no obligation to update such information.
As indicated above, worldwide semiconductor sales increased from $335.2 billion in 2015 to $412.1 billion in 2019. The decrease of 12.1% from 2018 to 2019 was the result of decreased demand for semiconductor products. Our revenue decreased by $360.4 million, or 6.1%, from 2018 to 2019.

the volume/weather variance was due to higher electric sales volume in the service territory .
billed usage increased a total of 517 gwh in the residential and commercial sectors .
the increase was partially offset by a decrease in industrial usage of 470 gwh due to the loss of two large industrial customers to cogeneration .
the customers accounted for approximately 1% ( 1 % ) of entergy gulf states' net revenue in 2002 .
in 2002 , deferred fuel costs of $ 8.9 million related to a texas fuel reconciliation case were written off and $ 6.5 million in expense resulted from an adjustment in the deregulated asset plan percentage as the result of a power uprate at river bend .
the increase in net wholesale revenue was primarily due to an increase in sales volume to municipal and co- op customers and also to affiliated systems related to entergy's generation resource planning .
the base rate decreases were effective june 2002 and january 2003 , both in the louisiana jurisdiction .
the january 2003 base rate decrease of $ 22.1 million had a minimal impact on net income due to a corresponding reduction in nuclear depreciation and decommissioning expenses associated with the change in accounting to reflect an assumed extension of river bend's useful life .
in 2002 , a gain of $ 15.2 million was recognized for the louisiana portion of the 1988 nelson units 1 and 2 sale .
entergy gulf states received approval from the lpsc to discontinue applying amortization of the gain against recoverable fuel , resulting in the recognition of the deferred gain in income .
rate refund provisions caused a decrease in net revenue due to additional provisions recorded in 2003 compared to 2002 for potential rate actions and refunds .
gross operating revenues and fuel and purchased power expenses gross operating revenues increased primarily due to an increase of $ 440.2 million in fuel cost recovery revenues as a result of higher fuel rates in both the louisiana and texas jurisdictions .
fuel and purchased power expenses increased $ 471.1 million due to an increase in the market prices of natural gas and purchased power .
other income statement variances 2004 compared to 2003 other operation and maintenance expenses decreased primarily due to : 2022 voluntary severance program accruals of $ 22.5 million in 2003 ; and 2022 a decrease of $ 4.3 million in nuclear material and labor costs due to reduced staff in 2004. .

The following tables summarize the activity related to deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue (in millions):
During the years ended April 26, 2019 and April 27, 2018, we recognized $1,722 million and $1,806 million, respectively, that was included in the deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance at the beginning of the respective periods.
As of April 26, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations related to customer contracts that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied was $3,668 million, which is equivalent to our deferred revenue and unearned services revenue balance. Because customer orders are typically placed on an as-needed basis, and cancellable without penalty prior to shipment, orders in backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue and have not been included in this amount. We expect to recognize as revenue approximately 50% of our deferred revenue and financed unearned services revenue balance in the next 12 months, approximately 25% in the next 13 to 24 months, and the remainder thereafter.

Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights
Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights (“SSARs”) are rights granted to an employee to receive value equal to the difference in the price of our common shares on the date of the grant and on the date of exercise. This value is settled only in common shares of Agilysys.
We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of SSARs. The following table summarizes the principal assumptions utilized in valuing SSARs granted in fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017:
The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period approximates the expected life of the SSARs. The expected life is estimated using historical data representing the period of time the awards are expected to be outstanding. The estimated fair value of the SSARs granted is recognized over the vesting period of the awards utilizing the graded vesting method. Under this method, the compensation cost related to unvested amounts begins to be recognized as of the grant date.
