Business Acquisition, Pro Forma Information [Table Text Block]

The following table provides the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 as if the acquisition of OnX, and the merger of Hawaiian Telcom, had taken place as of the beginning of fiscal year 2016 and 2017, respectively. These proforma results include adjustments related to the financing of the acquisitions, an increase to depreciation and amortization associated with the higher values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, an increase to interest expense for the additional debt incurred to complete the acquisitions, and reflects the related income tax effect and change in tax status. Revenue has been retrospectively adjusted for the adoption of ASC 606 to reflect hardware revenue in the Infrastructure Solutions category net of related cost of products. ASC 606 was not applied to the year ended December 31, 2017 for Hawaiian Telcom results because they utilized the modified retrospective method of adoption. Reported amounts for 2017 could be materially different if Hawaiian Telcom had adopted the standard using the full retrospective method of adoption.

The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the actual results of operations had the merger or acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the annual reporting period indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. The pro forma information does not include any (i) potential revenue enhancements, cost synergies or other operating efficiencies that could result from the merger or acquisition or (ii) transaction or integration costs relating to the merger or acquisition.
