Actual results could differ from those estimates. l) Comprehensive income Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period, from transactions and other events, excluding changes resulting from investments by owners (e.g., supplemental stock offering) and distributions to owners (e.g., dividends). Components of comprehensive income include changes in foreign currency translation adjustments (net of tax), pension plan adjustments (net of tax), and changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges (net of tax). m) Operating segments The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) establishes standards for the way that public companies report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and establishes standards for related disclosures about product and services, geographic areas and major customers.

At March 31, 2019, 3,308,588 2013 The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, either at the date of grant or over a subsequent vesting period, which is based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock compensation awards requires the input of certain highly complex and subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock compensation awards and the Company’s common stock price volatility, risk free interest rate and dividend rate. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company deems it necessary to use different assumptions, stock compensation expense could be materially different from what has been recorded in the current period. o) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In February 2016, No. 2016 02, Lea s es (Topic 842 July 2018, No. 2018 10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, No. 2018 11, Targeted Improvements 842” 842 842 January 1, 2019 not January 1, 2019. one not 842. not not $4.1 $1 $3.1 $4.6 5.74% $4.9 $4.1 $0.8 10 March 31, 2019.

The Company grants options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, and performance shares. At March 31, 2019, 3,308,588 2013 The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense, either at the date of grant or over a subsequent vesting period, which is based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock compensation awards requires the input of certain highly complex and subjective assumptions, including the expected life of the stock compensation awards and the Company’s common stock price volatility, risk free interest rate and dividend rate. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock compensation awards represent management’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company deems it necessary to use different assumptions, stock compensation expense could be materially different from what has been recorded in the current period.
