| (1) The majority of the Company’s consolidated foreign currency losses are driven by movements in the Taiwan Dollar, Euro, and British Pound Sterling in relation to the U.S. Dollar and the related exchange rate impact on the significant cash, receivables, and payables held in a currency other than the functional currency at one of the Company’s subsidiaries. However, there is minimal cash impact from such foreign currency losses. |
| (2) The tax effect of foreign currency gains/losses were calculated using the effective tax rate of 16.0% and a pro forma effective tax rate of 21.2% for the first quarter 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
| (3) The discrete tax items are discussed in the pro forma effective tax rate section above. |
