2016-02, the company expects most existing operating lease commitments will be recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Topic 825) ("ASU No. 2016-01"). ASU No. 2016-01 revises the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for certain financial liabilities measured at fair value. ASU No. 2016-01 requires the change in fair value of many equity investments to be recognized in net income. Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 on a prospective basis as an adjustment to retained earnings of $18,238.

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU No. 2014-09"). ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under ASU No. 2014-09, an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In March, April, May, and December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU No. 2016-08"); ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU No. 2016-10"); ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU No. 2016-12"); and ASU No. 2016-19, Technical Corrections and Improvements ("ASU No. 2016-19"), respectively. ASU No. 2016-08, ASU No. 2016-10, ASU No. 2016-12, and ASU No. 2016-19These ASU's provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU No. 2014-09,2016-02, and must be adopted concurrently with the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09,2016-02, cumulatively referred to as "Topic 606"“Topic 842”.

Note I – Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value



Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  The company utilizes a fair value hierarchy, which maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The fair value hierarchy has three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Interest Rate Swaps


The company occasionally enters into interest rate swap transactions that convert certain fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt or variable-rate debt to fixed-rate debt in order to manage its targeted mix of fixed- and floating-rate debt. The company uses the hypothetical derivative method to assess the effectiveness of its interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges on a quarterly basis. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges is recorded as a change to the carrying value of the related hedged debt, and the effective portion of the change in fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in the shareholders' equity section in the company's consolidated balance sheets in

Foreign Exchange Contracts


The company’s foreign currency exposure relates primarily to international transactions where the currency collected from customers can be different from the currency used to purchase the product. The company’s transactions in its foreign operations are denominated primarily in the following currencies: Euro, Chinese Renminbi,British Pound, Indian Rupee, Canadian Dollar, and British Pound.Chinese Renminbi. The company enters into foreign exchange forward, option, or swap contracts (collectively, the "foreign exchange contracts") to mitigate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.rates related to these transactions.  These contracts are executed to facilitate the hedging of foreign currency exposures resulting from inventory purchases and sales and generally have terms of no more than six months. Gains or losses on these contracts are deferred and recognized when the underlying future purchase or sale is recognized or when the corresponding asset or liability is revalued. The company does not enter into foreign exchange contracts for trading purposes. The risk of loss on a foreign exchange contract is the risk of nonperformance by the counterparties, which the company minimizes by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions. The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts are estimated using market quotes. The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at March 31, 201830, 2019 and December 31, 20172018 was $473,292$867,361 and $504,084,$607,747, respectively.


Gains and losses related to non-designated foreign currency exchange contracts are recorded in "Cost of sales" in the company's consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to designated foreign currency exchange contracts designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in "Cost of sales," "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," and "Interest and other financing expense, net" based upon the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, in the company's consolidated statements of operations and were not material for the first quarter of 20182019 and 2017.2018.

Environmental Matters


In connection with the purchase of Wyle in August 2000, the company acquired certain of the then outstanding obligations of Wyle, including Wyle's indemnification obligations to the purchasers of its Wyle Laboratories division for environmental clean-up costs associated with any then existing contamination or violation of environmental regulations. Under the terms of the

company's purchase of Wyle from the sellers, the sellers agreed to indemnify the company for certain costs associated with the Wyle environmental obligations, among other things. In 2012, the company entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers pursuant to which the sellers paid $110,000 and the company released the sellers from their indemnification obligation. As part of the settlement agreement, the company accepted responsibility for any potential subsequent costs incurred related to the Wyle matters. The company is aware of two Wyle Laboratories facilities (in Huntsville, Alabama and Norco, California) at which contaminated groundwater was identified and will require environmental remediation. In addition, the company was named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to the Norco facility and a third site in El Segundo, California which have now been settled to the satisfaction of the parties.


The company expects these environmental liabilities to be resolved over an extended period of time. Costs are recorded for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Accruals for environmental liabilities are adjusted periodically as facts and circumstances change, assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. Environmental liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to various unknown factors such as the timing and extent of remediation, improvements in remediation technologies, and the extent to which environmental laws and regulations may change in the future. Accordingly, the company cannot presently fully estimate the ultimate potential costs related to these sites until such time as a substantial portion of the investigation at the sites is completed and remedial action plans are developed and, in some instances, implemented. To the extent that future environmental costs exceed amounts currently accrued by the company, net income would be adversely impacted and such impact could be material.


Accruals for environmental liabilities are included in "Accrued expenses" and "Other liabilities" in the company's consolidated balance sheets. The company has determined that there is no amount within the environmental liability range that is a better estimate than any other amount, and therefore has recorded the accruals at the minimum amount of the ranges.


As successor-in-interest to Wyle, the company is the beneficiary of various Wyle insurance policies that covered liabilities arising out of operations at Norco and Huntsville. To date, the company has recovered approximately $37,000 from certain insurance carriers relating to environmental clean-up matters at the Norco site. The company is considering the best way to pursue its potential claims against insurers regarding liabilities arising out of operations at Huntsville. The resolution of these matters will likely take several years. The company has not recorded a receivable for any potential future insurance recoveries related to the Norco and Huntsville environmental matters, as the realization of the claims for recovery are not deemed probable at this time. The company believes the settlement amount together with potential recoveries from various insurance policies covering environmental remediation and related litigation will be sufficient to cover any potential future costs related to the Wyle acquisition; however, it is possible unexpected costs beyond those anticipated could occur.


Environmental Matters - Huntsville


In February 2015, the company and the Alabama Department of Environmental Management ("ADEM") finalized and executed a consent decree in connection with the Huntsville, Alabama site. Characterization of the extent of contaminated soil and groundwater continues at the site. Under the direction of the ADEM, approximately $5,900is complete and has been approved by ADEM. Approximately $6,300 was spent to date. The pace of the ongoing remedial investigations, project management,date and regulatory oversight is likely to increase somewhat and, though the complete scope of the activities is not yet known, the company currently estimatesanticipates no additional investigative and related expenditures at the site of approximately $300 to $600.expenditures. The nature and scope of both feasibility studies and subsequent remediation at the site has not yet been determined, but assuming the outcome includes source control and certain other measures, the cost is estimated to be between $4,400$4,100 and $10,000.


Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.

Environmental Matters - Norco


In October 2003, the company entered into a consent decree with Wyle Laboratories and the California Department of Toxic Substance Control (the "DTSC") in connection with the Norco site. In April 2005, a Remedial Investigation Work Plan was approved by DTSC that provided for site-wide characterization of known and potential environmental issues. Investigations performed in connection with this work plan and a series of subsequent technical memoranda continued until the filing of a final Remedial Investigation Report early in 2008. Work is under way pertaining to the remediation of contaminated groundwater at

certain areas on the Norco site and of soil gas in a limited area immediately adjacent to the site. In 2008, a hydraulic containment system ("HCS") was installed to capture and treat groundwater before it moves into the adjacent offsite area. In September 2013, the DTSC approved the final Remedial Action Plan ("RAP") and work is currently progressing under the RAP. The approval of theapproved RAP includesincluded the potential for additional remediationremedial action after the five year review of the hydraulic containment systemHCS if the review findsfound that contaminants havewere not been sufficiently reduced in the offsite area. The HCS five year review submitted to DTSC in December 2016 identified significant reductions in contaminants offsite except in a key area identified in the RAP. This exception triggered the need for additional offsite remediation that began in 2018.


Approximately $56,100$71,100 was spent to date on remediation, project management, regulatory oversight, and investigative and feasibility study activities. The company currently estimates that these activities will give rise to an additional $18,000$10,800 to $28,700.$21,500. Project management and regulatory oversight include costs incurred by project consultants for project management and costs billed by DTSC to provide regulatory oversight.


Despite the amount of work undertaken and planned to date, the company is unable to estimate any potential costs in addition to those discussed above because the complete scope of the work under the RAP is not yet known, and, accordingly, the associated costs have yet to be determined.


Other


From time to time, in the normal course of business, the company may become liable with respect to other pending and threatened litigation, environmental, regulatory, labor, product, and tax matters. While such matters are subject to inherent uncertainties, it is not currently anticipated that any such matters will materially impact the company's consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information


In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), the company also discloses certain non-GAAP financial information, including:


Sales, income, or expense items as adjusted for the impact of changes in foreign currencies (referred to as "impact of changes in foreign currencies"), the impact of acquisitions by adjusting the company's operatingre-translating prior period results for businesses acquired, including the amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets, as if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the earliestcurrent period presented (referred to as "impact of acquisitions"),foreign exchange rates and the impact of dispositions by adjusting the company's operating results for businesses disposed, as if the dispositions had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented (referred to as "impact of dispositions");
Operating income as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, and loss on disposition of businesses, net; and
Net income attributable to shareholders as adjusted to exclude identifiable intangible asset amortization, restructuring, integration, and other charges, loss on disposition of businesses, net, and gain (loss) on investments, net.net, and the impact of U.S. tax reform.


Management believes that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand the company's operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. However, analysis of results on a non-GAAP basis should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.



Sales


Substantially all of the company's sales are made on an order-by-order basis, rather than through long-term sales contracts.  As such, the nature of the company's business does not provide for the visibility of material forward-looking information from its customers and suppliers beyond a few months.

Income Tax


Income taxes for the interim periods presented have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax earnings, tax laws, and changes resulting from tax audits can affect the overall effective income tax rate, which impacts the level of income tax expense and net income. Judgments and estimates related to the company’s projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain; therefore, actual results could differ from projections.


For the first quarter of 2019, the company recorded a provision for income taxes of $53.9 million and an effective tax rate of 27.5%. The company's provision for income taxes and effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 were impacted by the previously discussed restructuring, integration, and other charges, identifiable intangible asset amortization, loss on disposition of businesses, the impact of U.S. tax reform, and gain on investments.

Excluding the impact of the aforementioned items, the company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was 26.5%.


The company’s effective tax rate deviates from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate mainly due to the mix of foreign taxing jurisdictions in which the company operates and where its foreign subsidiaries generate taxable income. The decreaseincrease in the effective tax rate from 25.4% for the first quarter of 2017 to 25.0% for the first quarter of 2018 to 27.5% for the first quarter of 2019 is primarily driven by the change in mix of the tax jurisdictions where taxable income is generated, discrete items, and changes in the U.S. tax rules.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. federal government enacted comprehensive tax legislation (the “Tax Act”), which significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax law by, among other things, lowering the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, implementing a territorial tax system, imposing a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign unremitted earnings, and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs (e.g., interest expense).

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the company recorded a provision amount, which is a reasonable estimate of the Tax Act’s impact of $124.7 million pursuant to the guidance provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB 118”), which allows the company a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related provisional tax impacts. Accordingly, the company is continuing to assess the related tax impacts under SAB 118 and has not made any adjustments during the first quarter of 2018 to the reasonable estimate of $124.7 million previously recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates


The company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the company to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis.  The company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed reasonable under the circumstances; the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

On January 1, 2018, the company adopted Topic 606 applying the full retrospective method. The adoption of Topic 606 did not have a significant impact on prior periods revenue recognition. The primary impact of adoption relates to the application of gross versus net indicators and the determination of when goods and services are distinct. In addition, the company is deferring certain revenue due to a change in the determination of transfer of control. These changes result from clarified guidance in Topic 606. The deferrals are expected to become revenue within a year of the transaction date. The impact of the adoption to sales, cost of sales, gross profit, and net income are presented in Note B.

On January 1, 2018, the company adopted ASU No. 2016-01 and adjusted retained earnings. The primary impact of adoption will require the change in fair value of equity investments, for which the company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, to be recognized in net income. The fair value of these equity investments are based upon readily determinable fair values.
