Frequently Asked Questions

Detailed financial statements, including statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity, as well as consolidated balance sheets for 2018, are included as part of Item 8, 'Financial Statements and Supplementary Data', in the full 10-K filing. This excerpt focuses on specific schedules and exhibits.

Schedule II provides details on changes to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and reserves for non-income taxes. For 2018, it shows a decrease in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, primarily due to expirations of U.S. foreign tax credits and adjustments from 2017 tax reform, as well as decreases related to U.S. federal net operating losses. It also shows a modest increase in reserves for non-income taxes. These movements can indicate changes in the company's assessment of its future tax liabilities and asset recoverability.

Information regarding executive and director compensation is incorporated by reference into the company's definitive proxy statement to be filed with the SEC for the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.
