How many items had a % change that is less than 50%?
$0.30 in 2019 as a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure. SEGMENT RESULTS Cubic Transportation Systems Fiscal 2019 Fiscal 2018 % Change (in millions) Sales $ 849.8 $ 670.7 27% Operating income 77.2 60.4 28 Adjusted EBITDA 110.5 73.3 51 Sales: CTS sales increased 27% to $849.8 million in 2019 compared to $670.7 million in 2018, including the impact of the adoption of ASC 606. The increase in sales was primarily driven by growth in both organic and inorganic business in North America. Sales in 2019 were higher in the U.S. primarily due to system development on contracts in New York, Boston, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Businesses acquired by CTS during fiscal year 2019, whose operations are all located in the U.S., had sales of $74.4 million in fiscal year 2019. Sales increased slightly in Australia between fiscal years 2018 and 2019 as increased system development work on a contract in Brisbane was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign currency exchange rates as well as a decrease in service sales. Sales were lower in the UK primarily due to a decrease in system development work in London and the negative impact of currency exchange rates. The average exchange rates between the prevailing currencies in our foreign operations and the U.S. dollar resulted in a decrease in CTS sales of $22.2 million for 2019 compared to 2018, primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound and Australian dollar. Amortization of Purchased Intangibles: Amortization of purchased intangibles included in the CTS operating results totaled $22.0 million in 2019 and $5.2 million in 2018. The increase is due to the amortization of purchased intangibles for companies acquired by CTS in fiscal year 2019. Operating Income: CTS operating income increased 28% in 2019 to $77.2 million compared to $60.4 million in 2018. The increase in operating income was primarily caused by higher margins on increased work on development projects in New York, Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area and Brisbane, as well as the impact of the adoption of ASC 606. These increases in operating income were partially offset by operating losses incurred by businesses acquired by CTS in fiscal 2019 as well as the negative impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Businesses acquired by CTS in fiscal years 2019 incurred operating losses of $10.1 million in fiscal 2019, which included acquisition transaction costs of $8.1 million and amortization of intangible assets totaling $19.3 million. The average exchange rates between the prevailing currency in our foreign operations and the U.S. dollar resulted in a decrease in CTS operating income of $3.6 million for 2019 compared to 2018. Adjusted EBITDA: CTS Adjusted EBITDA increased 51% to $110.5 million in 2019 compared to $73.3 million in 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the same factors that drove the increase in operating income described above excluding the increases in amortization of purchased intangibles and acquisition transaction costs which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA for CTS increased by $2.3 million in 2019 as a result of the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. 46

How much did net sales change between 2017 and 2018?
Net Sales Solid Capacitors net sales of $771.2 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $196.1 million or 34.1% from $575.1 million in fiscal year 2017. Tantalum product line net sales of $495.1 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $152.9 million or 44.7% from $342.2 million in fiscal year 2017. Ceramic product line net sales of $276.1 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $43.2 million or 18.5% from $232.9 million in fiscal year 2017. The increase in Solid Capacitors net sales was primarily driven by the addition of net sales of $133.8 million resulting from the TOKIN acquisition and an increase in net sales to the legacy products distributor channel of $81.7 million. To a lesser degree, an increase in legacy Ceramic products' net sales of $6.0 million in the EMS channel across all regions and $10.2 million in the OEM channel in the EMEA and APAC regions also contributed to the increase in Solid Capacitors net sales. These increases were partially offset by a $28.0 million decrease in net sales in the OEM channel for legacy Tantalum products across all regions. In addition, Solid Capacitors net sales was favorably impacted by $6.1 million from foreign currency exchange due to the change in the value of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar. Reportable Segment Operating Income Segment operating income of $234.5 million for fiscal year 2018 increased $86.8 million or 58.8% from $147.7 million for fiscal year 2017. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to an increase in gross margin of $100.4 million. TOKIN contributed $47.0 million in additional gross margin in fiscal year 2018. Legacy KEMET gross margin increased $53.3 million, or 30.6%, primarily driven by an increase in net sales, cost improvements in vertical integration, favorable foreign currency impact to manufacturing costs, and manufacturing process improvements resulting from our cost reduction activities. In addition, there was a $1.6 million improvement in (gain) loss on write down and disposal of long-lived assets. Partially offsetting these improvements were a $10.5 million increase in SG&A expenses and a $5.0 million increase in R&D expenses. TOKIN accounted for $10.2 million of the increase in SG&A expenses and $4.1 million of the increase in R&D expenses. Film and Electrolytic The table below sets forth net sales, operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) as a percentage of net sales for our Film and Electrolytic reportable segment for the fiscal years 2018 and 2017 (amounts in thousands, except percentages): For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2018 March 31, 2017 % to Net % to Net Amount Sales Amount Sales Net sales $ 201,977 $ 182,228 Segment operating income (loss) 3,622 1.8% (9,028) (5.0)% Fiscal years ending March 31, 2018 and 2017 adjusted due to the adoption of ASC 606 Net Sales Film and Electrolytic net sales of $202.0 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $19.7 million or 10.8% from $182.2 million in fiscal year 2017. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by an increase in net sales in the distributor channel across all the APAC and EMEA regions of $13.7 million, a $3.3 million increase in net sales in the OEM channel of the EMEA region and a $4.2 million increase in the EMS channel across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net sales of $1.2 million in the OEM channel across the Americas, APAC, and JPKO regions. In addition, there was a favorable impact of $7.6 million from foreign currency exchange primarily due to the change in the value of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar. Reportable Segment Operating Income (Loss) Segment operating income of $3.6 million in fiscal year 2018 improved $12.7 million from $9.0 million of operating loss in fiscal year 2017. The improvement was primarily attributable to a $4.3 million increase in gross margin driven by higher net sales, as well as the benefit of completed restructuring activities. The increase was also attributed to an $11.7 million improvement in (gain) loss on the write down and disposal of long-lived assets. These improvements were partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in restructuring charges, a $0.7 million increase in SG&A expenses, and a $0.6 million increase in R&D expenses. 51

Reportable Segment Operating Income Segment operating income of $234.5 million for fiscal year 2018 increased $86.8 million or 58.8% from $147.7 million for fiscal year 2017. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to an increase in gross margin of $100.4 million. TOKIN contributed $47.0 million in additional gross margin in fiscal year 2018. Legacy KEMET gross margin increased $53.3 million, or 30.6%, primarily driven by an increase in net sales, cost improvements in vertical integration, favorable foreign currency impact to manufacturing costs, and manufacturing process improvements resulting from our cost reduction activities. In addition, there was a $1.6 million improvement in (gain) loss on write down and disposal of long-lived assets. Partially offsetting these improvements were a $10.5 million increase in SG&A expenses and a $5.0 million increase in R&D expenses. TOKIN accounted for $10.2 million of the increase in SG&A expenses and $4.1 million of the increase in R&D expenses. Film and Electrolytic The table below sets forth net sales, operating income (loss) and operating income (loss) as a percentage of net sales for our Film and Electrolytic reportable segment for the fiscal years 2018 and 2017 (amounts in thousands, except percentages): For the Fiscal Years Ended March 31, 2018 March 31, 2017 % to Net % to Net Amount Sales Amount Sales Net sales $ 201,977 $ 182,228 Segment operating income (loss) 3,622 1.8% (9,028) (5.0)% Fiscal years ending March 31, 2018 and 2017 adjusted due to the adoption of ASC 606 Net Sales Film and Electrolytic net sales of $202.0 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $19.7 million or 10.8% from $182.2 million in fiscal year 2017. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by an increase in net sales in the distributor channel across all the APAC and EMEA regions of $13.7 million, a $3.3 million increase in net sales in the OEM channel of the EMEA region and a $4.2 million increase in the EMS channel across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC regions. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net sales of $1.2 million in the OEM channel across the Americas, APAC, and JPKO regions. In addition, there was a favorable impact of $7.6 million from foreign currency exchange primarily due to the change in the value of the Euro compared to the U.S. dollar. Reportable Segment Operating Income (Loss) Segment operating income of $3.6 million in fiscal year 2018 improved $12.7 million from $9.0 million of operating loss in fiscal year 2017. The improvement was primarily attributable to a $4.3 million increase in gross margin driven by higher net sales, as well as the benefit of completed restructuring activities. The increase was also attributed to an $11.7 million improvement in (gain) loss on the write down and disposal of long-lived assets. These improvements were partially offset by a $2.1 million increase in restructuring charges, a $0.7 million increase in SG&A expenses, and a $0.6 million increase in R&D expenses. 51

Net Sales Solid Capacitors net sales of $771.2 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $196.1 million or 34.1% from $575.1 million in fiscal year 2017. Tantalum product line net sales of $495.1 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $152.9 million or 44.7% from $342.2 million in fiscal year 2017. Ceramic product line net sales of $276.1 million in fiscal year 2018 increased $43.2 million or 18.5% from $232.9 million in fiscal year 2017. The increase in Solid Capacitors net sales was primarily driven by the addition of net sales of $133.8 million resulting from the TOKIN acquisition and an increase in net sales to the legacy products distributor channel of $81.7 million. To a lesser degree, an increase in legacy Ceramic products' net sales of $6.0 million in the EMS channel across all regions and $10.2 million in the OEM channel in the EMEA and APAC regions also contributed to the increase in Solid Capacitors net sales. These increases were partially offset by a $28.0 million decrease in net sales in the OEM channel for legacy Tantalum products across all regions.

Provisions for post-employment benefits plans consist of commitments primarily related to benefits defined by the provisions of company pension plans. These take the form of defined benefit plans directly from the employer (employer’s commitments) and defined benefit plans from external pension providers (benevolent funds in Germany and international pension funds). The external providers’ assets serve exclusively to finance the pension entitlements and qualify as plan assets. The benefits under the different plans are based on performance and length of service. The most important performance-based pension plans are described in the following. Germany METRO grants many employees in Germany retirement, disability and surviving dependant’s benefits. New commitments are granted in the form of ‘defined benefit’ commitments in the meaning of IAS 19 (contribution-oriented commitments pursuant to German company pension law), which comprise a payment contribution component and an employer-matching component. Contributions are paid to a pension reinsurance from which benefits are paid out when the insured event occurs. A provision is recognised for entitlements not covered by pension reinsurance. In addition, various pension funds exist that are closed for new contributions. In general, these provide for lifelong pensions starting with the start of retirement or recognised invalidity. Benefits are largely defined as fixed payments or on the basis of set annual increases. In special cases, benefits are calculated in consideration of accrued statutory pension entitlements. The commitments provide for a widow’s or widower’s pension of varying size, depending on the benefits the former employee received or would have received in case of invalidity. Legacy commitments are partially covered by assets held in benevolent funds. Provisions are recognised for those commitments not covered. The benevolent funds’ decision-making bodies (management board and general assembly of members) comprise both employer and employee representatives. The respective members of the Management Board decide on the deployment of funds and financial investments. It may commission third parties to manage fund assets. No statutory minimum endowment METRO ANNUAL REPORT 2018/19

How much did the company decrease its valuation allowance by in 2019?
The deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences in the timing of the recognition of certain income and expense items for tax and financial accounting purposes. The sources of these differences at each balance sheet date are as follows (in thousands): December 31, 2019 2018 Deferred income tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 23,030 $ 25,745 Tax credits 52,902 43,838 Compensation 18,791 15,934 Deferred revenue 25,599 27,587 Research and development expense deferral _— 12,631 Other 4,065 5,393 Gross deferred income tax assets 124,387 131,128 Less: valuation allowance (7,653) (20,415) Net deferred income tax assets $ 116,734 $ 110,713 Deferred income tax liabilities: Depreciation and amortization $ (52,978) $ (60,872) Deferred revenue (44,198) (54,508) Total deferred income tax liabilities (97,176) (115,380) Net deferred income taxes $ 19,558 $ (4,667) Deferred income taxes / liabilities included in the balance sheet are: Deferred income tax asset — noncurrent $ 51,611 $ 27,048 Deferred income tax liability — noncurrent (32,053) (31,715) Net deferred income taxes $ 19,558 $ (4,667) In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

What was the increase in net cash provided by operating activities from 2018 to 2019?
Table of Contents LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES This data should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The decrease was primarily due to the reclassification of $3.15 billion total carrying value of our $2.25 billion term loan due April 30, 2020 (“Term Loan”) and $900 million 4.75% senior notes due February 1, 2020 (“2020 Notes”) to current liabilities. We intend to refinance our Term Loan and 2020 Notes on or before the due dates. A summary of our cash flows is as follows: (in millions) 2019 2018 2017 Net cash provided by operating activities $ 4,421.8 $ 4,029.3 $ 2,912.9 Net cash used for investing activities (455.6) (4,685.3) (442.9) Net cash used for financing activities (2,946.1) (5.6) (1,183.7) Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents (12.7) (1.7) 8.5 Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents $ 1,007.4 $ (663.3) $ 1,294.8 Our primary source of cash is receipts from revenue and, to a lesser extent, proceeds from participation in the employee stock purchase plan. The primary uses of cash are our stock repurchase program as described below, payroll-related expenses, general operating expenses including marketing, travel and office rent, and cost of revenue. Other uses of cash include business acquisitions, purchases of property and equipment and payments for taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards. Cash Flows from Operating Activities For fiscal 2019, net cash provided by operating activities of $4.42 billion was primarily comprised of net income adjusted for the net effect of non-cash items. The primary working capital sources of cash were net income coupled with an increase in deferred revenue, which was offset in large part by cash outflows due to an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets. The increase in deferred revenue was primarily driven by increases related to Digital Media offerings with cloud-enabled services and Digital Experience hosted services. The primary working capital use of cash was due to increases in prepaid expenses with certain vendors, sales commissions paid and capitalized, advanced payments related to income taxes and increase in long-term contract assets. Cash Flows from Investing Activities For fiscal 2019, net cash used for investing activities of $455.6 million was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment and our acquisition of the remaining equity interest in Allegorithmic. These cash outflows were offset primarily by proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases. See Note 3 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information regarding our acquisitions. Cash Flows from Financing Activities For fiscal 2019, net cash used for financing activities was $2.95 billion primarily due to payments for our treasury stock repurchases and taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards, which were offset by proceeds from re-issuance of treasury stock for our employee stock purchase plan. See the section titled “Stock Repurchase Program” discussed below. We expect to continue our investing activities, including short-term and long-term investments, facilities expansion and purchases of computer systems for research and development, sales and marketing, product support and administrative staff. Furthermore, cash reserves may be used to repurchase stock under our stock repurchase program and to strategically acquire companies, products or technologies that are complementary to our business. 50

The primary working capital use of cash was due to increases in prepaid expenses with certain vendors, sales commissions paid and capitalized, advanced payments related to income taxes and increase in long-term contract assets. Cash Flows from Investing Activities For fiscal 2019, net cash used for investing activities of $455.6 million was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment and our acquisition of the remaining equity interest in Allegorithmic. These cash outflows were offset primarily by proceeds from sales and maturities of short-term investments, net of purchases. See Note 3 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed information regarding our acquisitions. Cash Flows from Financing Activities For fiscal 2019, net cash used for financing activities was $2.95 billion primarily due to payments for our treasury stock repurchases and taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards, which were offset by proceeds from re-issuance of treasury stock for our employee stock purchase plan. See the section titled “Stock Repurchase Program” discussed below. We expect to continue our investing activities, including short-term and long-term investments, facilities expansion and purchases of computer systems for research and development, sales and marketing, product support and administrative staff. Furthermore, cash reserves may be used to repurchase stock under our stock repurchase program and to strategically acquire companies, products or technologies that are complementary to our business. 50

Table of Contents Index to Financial Statements On a constant currency basis, acquisition related and other expenses decreased in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 primarily due to certain favorable business combination related adjustments that were recorded in fiscal 201 9 . Restructuring Expenses: Restructuring expenses resulted from the execution of management approved restructuring plans that were generally developed to improve our cost structure and/or operations, often in conjunction with our acquisition integration strategies. Restructuring expenses consist of employee severance costs and may also include charges for duplicate facilities and other contract termination costs to improve our cost structure prospectively.

Same-store sales at company-operated restaurants increased1.7% in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily due to menu price increases and favorable product mix, partially offset by a decline in transactions.

Commodity costs increased by approximately 2% compared to a year ago, due to increases across the majority of our ingredient costs. Payroll and employee benefit costs as a percentage of company restaurant sales increased to29.7% in 2019 compared with 28.8% a year ago due primarily to higher average wages resulting from wage inflation and a highly competitive labor market, and a change in the mix of restaurants due to refranchising.

What is the difference in the total franchise revenues between 2018 and 2019?
Same-store sales at company-operated restaurants increased1.7% in 2019 compared with 2018 primarily due to menu price increases and favorable product mix, partially offset by a decline in transactions. The following table summarizes the increases (decreases) in company-operated same-store sales: 2019 vs. 2018 Transactions (1.4)% Average check (1) 3.1% Change in same-store sales 1.7% (1) Includes price increases of approximately 2.5% in 2019. Food and packaging costs as a percentage of company restaurant sales increased to29.0% in 2019 from 28.8% a year ago due primarily to changes in product mix and higher costs for ingredients, partially offset by menu price increases. Commodity costs increased by approximately 2% compared to a year ago, due to increases across the majority of our ingredient costs. Payroll and employee benefit costs as a percentage of company restaurant sales increased to29.7% in 2019 compared with 28.8% a year ago due primarily to higher average wages resulting from wage inflation and a highly competitive labor market, and a change in the mix of restaurants due to refranchising. Occupancy and other costs decreased $21.2 million in 2019 compared to the prior year primarily driven by a decrease in the average number of restaurants impacting occupancy and other costs by approximately $23.0 million. As a percentage of company restaurant sales, occupancy and other costs decreased to 15.0% from 16.0% a year ago due primarily to refranchising and a decrease in maintenance and repair expenses, partially offset by higher costs for insurance, information technology, and delivery fees at the restaurants we continue to operate.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 DB PENSION PLANS AND OPEB PLANS 2019 2018 Post-employment benefit obligations Discount rate 3.1% 3.8% Rate of compensation increase 2.25% 2.25% Cost of living indexation rate!" 1.6% 1.6% Life expectancy at age 65 (years) 23.2 23.1 (1) Cost of living indexation rate is only applicable to DB pension plans. FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 DB PENSION PLANS AND OPEB PLANS 2019 2018 Net post-employment benefit plans cost Discount rate 4.0% 3.7% Rate of compensation increase 2.25% 2.25% Cost of living indexation rate!" 1.6% 1.6% Life expectancy at age 65 (years) 23.1 23.2 (1) Cost of living indexation rate is only applicable to DB pension plans. The weighted average duration of the post-employment benefit obligation is 14 years. We assumed the following trend rates in healthcare costs: * an annual increase in the cost of medication of 6.5% for 2019 decreasing to 4.0% over 20 years * an annual increase in the cost of covered dental benefits of 4% * an annual increase in the cost of covered hospital benefits of 3.7% *an annual increase in the cost of other covered healthcare benefits of 4% SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS Assumed trend rates in healthcare costs have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the healthcare plans. The following table shows the effect of a 1% change in the assumed trend rates in healthcare costs. EFFECT ON POST-EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS — INCREASE/(DECREASE) 1% INCREASE 1% DECREASE Total service and interest cost 4 (3) Post-employment benefit obligations. 110 (95) The following table shows a sensitivity analysis of key assumptions used to measure the net post-employment benefit obligations and the net post-employment benefit plans cost for our DB pension plans and OPEB plans.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Company’s primary business is leasing space on multitenant communications sites to wireless service providers, radio and television broadcast companies, wireless data providers, government agencies and municipalities and tenants in a number of other industries. This business is referred to as the Company’s property operations. During the fourth quarter of 2019, as a result of recent acquisitions, including the Eaton Towers Acquisition, and changes to its organizational structure, the Company reviewed and changed its reportable segments to divide its EMEA property segment into two segments: Africa property and Europe property. Prior to this revision, the Company operated in five business segments: (i) U.S. property, (ii) Asia property (iii) EMEA property, (iv) Latin America property and (v) services. The change is consistent with how the chief operating decision maker reviews financial performance and operating and business management strategies for each of the six segments. The change in reportable segments had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any periods. Historical financial information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K has been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s property operations consisted of the following: * U.S.: property operations in the United States; * Asia: property operations in India; + Africa: property operations in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda; * Europe: property operations in France and Germany; and * Latin America: property operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay and Peru. The Company’s services segment offers tower-related services in the United States, including AZP and structural analysis, which primarily support its site leasing business, including the addition of new tenants and equipment on its sites. The services segment is a strategic business unit that offers different services from, and requires different resources, skill sets and marketing strategies than, the property operating segments. The accounting policies applied in compiling segment information below are similar to those described in note 1. Among other factors, in evaluating financial performance in each business segment, management uses segment gross margin and segment operating profit. The Company defines segment gross margin as segment revenue less segment operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense recorded in costs of operations; Depreciation, amortization and accretion; Selling, general, administrative and development expense; and Other operating expenses. The Company defines segment operating profit as segment gross margin less Selling, general, administrative and development expense attributable to the segment, excluding stock-based compensation expense and corporate expenses. For reporting purposes, for periods through September 30, 2018, the Latin America property segment gross margin and segment operating profit also included Interest income (expense), TV F-53

utilization. The Company has approximately $33.7 of tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards {without regard to federal benefit of state]. Some of these net operating loss carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2020 if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards are primarily related to Florida and New Jersey, but the Company has smaller net operating losses in various other states. The Company has approximately $65.6 of tax-effected foreign net operating loss carryforwards. Some of these net operating loss carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2020 if not utilized. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards increased from 2018 to 2019 primarily due to the recognition of a discrete tax benefit of $41.0 in connection with a foreign restructuring plan allowing the future realization of net operating losses. Additionally, the Company has $5.0 of U.S. federal and state research and develop- ment tax credit carryforwards (without regard to federal benefit of state). Some of these research and development credit carry- forwards have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2020 if not utilized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company determined that a total valuation allowance of $36.3 was necessary to reduce U.S. fed- eral and state deferred tax assets by $15.4 and foreign deferred tax assets by $20.9, where it was more likely than not that all of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the remaining net deferred tax assets will be realized based on the Company's estimates of future taxable income and any applicable tax-planning strategies within various tax jurisdictions. The Company recognizes in the Consolidated Financial Statements only those tax positions determined to be “more likely than not” of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the positions. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: 2019 2018 2017 Beginning balance $ 63.6 $ 52.2 $ 38.7 Additions for tax positions of prior periods 2.9 24 24.8 Additions for tax positions of the current period 42 6.9 42 Additions due to acquisitions 1.9 44 — Reductions for tax positions of prior periods (0.3) (0.4) (11.2) Reductions attributable to settlements with taxing authorities = aad (1.5) Reductions attributable to lapses of applicable statute of limitations (2.5) {1.9} (2.8) Ending balance $ 69.8 $ 63.6 $52.2 he total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate is $68.2. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $1.8 in 2019 and are classified as a component of income tax expense. Accrued interest and enalties were $8.7 at December 31, 2019 and $6.9 at December 31, 2018. During the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by a net $6.3, mainly due to anticipated statute of limitations lapses in various jurisdictions. he Company and its subsidiaries are subject to examinations for U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in various state, city and foreign jurisdictions. The Company's federal income tax returns for 2016 through the current period remain open to examination and the relevant state, city and foreign statutes vary. The Company does not expect the assessment of any significant additional tax in excess of amounts reserved. he Tax Act was signed into U.S. law on December 22, 2017.

utilization. The Company has approximately $33.7 of tax-effected state net operating loss carryforwards {without regard to federal benefit of state]. Some of these net operating loss carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2020 if not utilized. The state net operating loss carryforwards are primarily related to Florida and New Jersey, but the Company has smaller net operating losses in various other states. The Company has approximately $65.6 of tax-effected foreign net operating loss carryforwards. Some of these net operating loss carryforwards have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2020 if not utilized. The foreign net operating loss carryforwards increased from 2018 to 2019 primarily due to the recognition of a discrete tax benefit of $41.0 in connection with a foreign restructuring plan allowing the future realization of net operating losses. Additionally, the Company has $5.0 of U.S. federal and state research and develop- ment tax credit carryforwards (without regard to federal benefit of state). Some of these research and development credit carry- forwards have an indefinite carryforward period, and those that do not will begin to expire in 2020 if not utilized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company determined that a total valuation allowance of $36.3 was necessary to reduce U.S. fed- eral and state deferred tax assets by $15.4 and foreign deferred tax assets by $20.9, where it was more likely than not that all of such deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2019, the Company believes it is more likely than not that the remaining net deferred tax assets will be realized based on the Company's estimates of future taxable income and any applicable tax-planning strategies within various tax jurisdictions. The Company recognizes in the Consolidated Financial Statements only those tax positions determined to be “more likely than not” of being sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the positions.
