(1) The Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("the Act") was enacted on December 22, 2017.  The Act reduces the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The reduction in tax rates reduced certain U.S. deferred tax assets by $162 million, with an offsetting impact to valuation allowance. In 2017, $327 million of foreign tax credits expired, against which a valuation allowance had previously been asserted.
