Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term of the applicable assets using the straight-line method beginning on the date an asset is placed in service. We regularly evaluate the estimated remaining useful lives of our property and equipment to determine whether events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.

Interest expense increased in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 primarily due to higher average borrowings resulting from our issuance of $10.0 billion of senior notes in November 2017, which was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense resulting primarily from the maturities and repayments of $2.0 billion of senior notes during fiscal 2019 and $6.0 billion of senior notes during fiscal 2018.

13. Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into U.S. Law. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had completed its accounting for the tax effects related to the enactment of the Tax Act.
The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities and recorded a $15.0 million provisional tax charge. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reduced the initial provisional tax charge by recording a $4.9 million benefit related to accelerated tax deductions claimed on the 2018 U.S. Federal Income Tax Return.
The Tax Act required U.S. companies to pay a one-time transition tax on certain unremitted foreign earnings. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded a $20.9 million provisional tax charge based on post-1986 earnings and profits of foreign subsidiaries that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. Upon further analysis, the Company reduced the initial provisional tax charge by recording an $8.1 million benefit during the year ended December 31, 2018.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a $15.5 million valuation allowance on its deferred tax asset related to U.S. foreign tax credits based upon business conditions and tax laws in effect at that time.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, following the acquisition of Speedpay, the Company determined it will more likely than not be able to utilize foreign tax credits in future years due to additional income generated by Speedpay; therefore, the Company released the $15.5 million valuation allowance that had been established on this deferred tax asset.
The Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company has elected to account for GILTI in the year the tax is incurred.
Prior to 2018, the Company considered all earnings in foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, recorded no deferred income taxes related to unremitted earnings. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company considered only the earnings in its Indian subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested. The earnings of all other foreign subsidiaries are no longer considered indefinitely reinvested. The Company is also permanently reinvested for outside book/tax basis differences related to foreign subsidiaries.

NET DEBT
The term net debt does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS. Therefore, it is unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.
We define net debt as debt due within one year plus long-term debt and 50% of preferred shares, less cash and cash equivalents, as shown in BCE’s consolidated statements of financial position. We include 50% of outstanding preferred shares in our net debt as it is consistent with the treatment by certain credit rating agencies.
We consider net debt to be an important indicator of the company’s financial leverage because it represents the amount of debt that is not covered by available cash and cash equivalents. We believe that certain investors and analysts use net debt to determine a company’s financial leverage.
Net debt has no directly comparable IFRS financial measure, but rather is calculated using several asset and liability categories from the statements of financial position, as shown in the following table.

7. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
The total carrying value of our equity method investments at the end of fiscal 2019 and 2018 was $796.3 million and $776.2 million, respectively.

Due to differences in fiscal reporting periods, we recognized the equity method investment earnings on a lag of approximately one month.
In fiscal 2019, we had purchases from our equity method investees of $39.4 million. Total dividends received from equity method investments in fiscal 2019 were $55.0 million.
In fiscal 2018, we had purchases from our equity method investees of $34.9 million. Total dividends received from equity method investments in fiscal 2018 were $62.5 million.
In fiscal 2017, we had purchases from our equity method investees of $41.8 million. Total dividends received from equity method investments in fiscal 2017 were $68.2 million.

Reporting Channels and Whistleblower Protection
To ensure that our conduct meets relevant legal requirements and the highest ethical standards under the Ethics Code, TSMC provides multiple channels for reporting business conduct concerns.
First of all, our Audit Committee approved and we have implemented the “Complaint Policy and Procedures for Certain Accounting and Legal Matters” and “Procedures for Ombudsman System” that allow employees or any whistleblowers with relevant evidence to report any financial, legal, or ethical irregularities anonymously through either the Ombudsman or directly to the Audit Committee.
TSMC maintains additional internal reporting channels for our employees. To foster an open culture of ethics compliance, we encourage our employees and the third parties we do business with to report any suspected noncompliance with law or relevant TSMC policy.
TSMC treats any complaint and the investigation thereof in a confidential and sensitive manner, and strictly prohibits any form of retaliation against any individual who in good faith reports or helps with the investigation of any complaint. Due to the open reporting channels, TSMC receives reports on various issues from employees and external parties such as our customers and suppliers from time to time. Below is a summary of the Number of Reported Incidents.
Note 1: Among the 205 cases, 132 were related to employee relationship, 47 cases related to other matters (e.g. employee’s individual interest or private matters), and 26 cases related to ethical matters.
Note 2: One case involved an employee who requested a supplier to reserve a hotel and pay advance accommodation fees during his business trip, actions which violate TSMC policy, and the employee was disciplined. Another case involved an employee who abused his work relationship by requesting a supplier to make a personal loan to the employee, a severe violation of our Ethics Code, and the employee was terminated.
Note 3: After the investigation by TSMC’s Sexual Harassment Investigation Committee, four employees involved in confirmed cases of sexual harassment received severe discipline from the Company.

24. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The following table set forth the computation for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share data):
As of September 27, 2019, we had warrants outstanding which were reported as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet. During fiscal years 2019 and 2018, we recorded gains of $0.8 million and $27.6 million, respectively, associated with adjusting the fair value of the warrants, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily as a result of declines in our stock price.
When calculating earnings per share we are required to adjust for the dilutive effect of outstanding common stock equivalents, including adjustment to the numerator for the dilutive effect of contracts that must be settled in common stock. During the fiscal year ended September 27, 2019, we excluded the effects of the warrant gain and the 214,303 of potential shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants as the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
During the fiscal year ended September 28, 2018, we adjusted the numerator to exclude the warrant gain $27.6 million, and we also adjusted the denominator for the dilutive effect of the incremental warrant shares of 569,667 under the treasury stock method. For the fiscal years 2018, the table above excludes the effects of 375,940 shares of potential shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units as the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
The table excludes the effects of 386,552 and 1,877,401 shares for fiscal years 2019 and 2017, respectively, of potential shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and warrants as the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
