Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)
Quarterly sales and earnings results are normally influenced by seasonal factors. Historically, the first two fiscal quarters (three months ending September 30 and December 31) are typically the lowest principally because of annual plant vacation and maintenance shutdowns by the Company and by many of its customers. However, the timing of major changes in the general economy or the markets for certain products can alter this pattern.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax benefit. See Note 17, Income Taxes to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data”.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and payroll related benefits expenses, related overhead, audit fees, other professional fees, contract labour and consulting expenses and public company costs.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.7 million during the year ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the prior fiscal year. This was primarily due to an increase in payroll and payroll-related benefits of $4.1 million and an increase in other miscellaneous expenses of $2.2 million, which includes professional fees such as legal, audit and tax related expenses. These were partially offset by a reduction in the use of facility and related expenses of $4.5 million. The remainder of the change was attributable to other activities associated with normal growth in our business operations. Overall, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, remained at approximately 7%.
Our general and administrative labour resources increased by 119 employees, from 1,501 employees at June 30, 2018 to 1,620 employees at June 30, 2019.

ADJUSTED EBITDA
(1) Fiscal 2019 average foreign exchange rate used for translation was 1.3255 USD/CDN.
(2) 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.
(3) Fiscal 2019 actuals are translated at the average foreign exchange rate of fiscal 2018 which was 1.2773 USD/CDN.
Fiscal 2019 adjusted EBITDA increased by 10.0% (8.5% in constant currency) as a result of: • an increase in the American broadband services segment mainly as a result of strong organic growth combined with the impact of the MetroCast and FiberLight acquisitions; and • an increase in the Canadian broadband services segment resulting mainly from a decline in operating expenses.
For further details on the Corporation’s adjusted EBITDA, please refer to the "Segmented operating and financial results" section.

In 2019 and 2018, we had pre-tax losses of $19,573 and $25,403 respectively, which are available for carry forward to offset future taxable income. We made determinations to provide full valuation allowances for our net deferred tax assets at the end of 2019 and 2018, including NOL carryforwards generated during the years, based on our evaluation of positive and negative evidence, including our history of operating losses and the uncertainty of generating future taxable income that would enable us to realize our deferred tax assets.
Deferred tax assets (liabilities) consist of the following:
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that a portion of the net deferred assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the net deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019 will not be realizable. Accordingly, management has maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the 12 months ended December 31, 2019 was an increase of $1,816.

Administrative expenses
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ in the period, which impacts Other costs and Depreciation & amortisation within Operating profit. Property and vehicle rental charges are no longer included in other costs, and depreciation now includes depreciation on leased assets. Prior period comparatives have been restated to reflect these changes as the fully retrospective approach has been used.
Operating costs continue to be well controlled, with administrative expenses increasing by 3% to £112.3m (2018 restated: £108.8m).
People costs, which comprise all staff costs including third-party contractor costs, increased by 3% in the year to £56.4m (2018: £54.8m). The increase in people costs was driven primarily by underlying salary costs which increased due to strong competition for digital talent, however this has been partially offset by a reduction in average full-time equivalent employees (‘FTEs’) (including contractors) to 804 (2018: 824). The number of FTEs was particularly impacted in the fourth quarter by the transfer of 15 staff to Dealer Auction, our joint venture with Cox Automotive UK. Share-based payments, including applicable national insurance costs of £5.9m (2018: £3.7m), have been included within people costs. The year-on-year increase in the share-based payment charge was due to leavers under the Performance Share Plan in 2018 for which a credit was recognised in the prior year, and a change in the way senior management are remunerated. The Group now settles a greater proportion of the senior management incentive scheme in shares which increases the share-based payment charge with an offset realised within cash bonuses.
Marketing spend increased in line with revenue by 8% to £17.6m (2018: £16.3m), as we look to maintain and enhance our audience position and educate consumers on new products such as new car offerings and search by monthly payment.
Other costs, which include data services, property related costs and other overheads, remain well controlled and increased by 2% on a like-for-like basis to £29.4m (2018 restated: £28.7m).
Depreciation & amortisation remained broadly flat at £8.9m (2018 restated: £9.0m). Within this was depreciation of £2.0m in relation to lease assets (2018 restated: £1.9m).

We make contributions to our defined benefit plans as required under various pension funding regulations. We expect to make contributions of approximately
$1,420 to the international plans in fiscal 2020 based on current actuarial computations
Estimated future benefit payments are as follows:
Savings plans:
We sponsor retirement savings plans, which allow eligible employees to defer part of their annual compensation. Certain contributions by us are discretionary and
are determined by our Board of Directors each year. Our contributions to the savings plans in the United States for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019
were approximately $4,367, $4,421, and $4,913, respectively.
We also sponsor a nonqualified deferred compensation program, which permits certain employees to annually elect to defer a portion of their compensation until
retirement. A portion of the deferral is subject to a matching contribution by us. The employees select among various investment alternatives, which are the same as are
available under the retirement savings plans, with the investments held in a separate trust. The value of the participants’ balances fluctuate based on the performance of
the investments. The market value of the trust at March 31, 2018 and 2019 of $6,649 and $4,693, respectively, is included as an asset and a liability in our accompanying
balance sheet because the trust’s assets are both assets of the Company and a liability as they are available to general creditors in certain circumstances

Interest Expense
NM-not meaningful
Interest expense increased $621 million compared to 2018. Interest expense is presented in cost of financing in the Consolidated Income Statement only if the related external borrowings are to support the Global Financing external business. Overall interest expense (excluding capitalized interest) in 2019 was $1,952 million, an increase of $473 million year to year, driven by a higher average debt balance and higher interest rates as we issued debt to finance the Red Hat acquisition.
Operating (non-GAAP) interest expense increased $393 million compared to the prior-year period. It excludes the Red Hat pre-closing debt financing costs.
