(1)

Adjustments represent the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) enacted on December 22, 2017, of which an income tax benefit of $9.1 million pertains to reduction in our U.S. Federal income tax rate pursuant to the TCJA on the effective settlement on an IRS exam and the mandatory repatriation of undistributed earnings and profits associated with our foreign subsidiaries partially offset by a $1.1 million charge that relates to the revaluation of our U.S. deferred income taxes as a result of the reduction in our annual effective income tax rate pursuant to the TCJA.

(2)

No proforma adjustments were applicable for the comparative three-month period ending April 30, 2017, as the TCJA was not enacted or effective prior to December 22, 2017. See the above consolidated income statement for the three-month period ending April 30, 2017 for reported amounts.

(2) During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." Accordingly, we reclassified certain amounts on our Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended April 30, 2017 to conform to the current year's presentation. As a result, our net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1,086 which was fully offset by a corresponding increase of $1,086 to our net cash used in financing activities. Additionally, our free cash flow increased $429.
