Notes to the consolidated financial statements (Continued)
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2018 and 2019
(All amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars, except share and per share data) 29. Earnings/(losses) per share (‘‘EPS’’) Basic earnings/(losses) per share was calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year attributable to the owners of the common shares after deducting the dividend on Preference Shares by the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) for the year attributable to the owners of the Group adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares by the weighted average number of all potential ordinary shares assumed to have been converted into common shares, unless such potential ordinary shares have an antidilutive effect. The following reflects the earnings/(losses) and share data used in the basic and diluted earnings/ (losses) per share computations: The Group excluded the effect of 2,630,173 SARs and 367,162 RSUs in calculating diluted EPS for the year ended December 31, 2019, as they were anti-dilutive (December 31, 2018: 555,453 SARs and 0 RSUs, December 31, 2017: 998,502 SARs and 0 RSUs).

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following tables of selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified by reference to, our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Item 8 of Part II and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 7 of Part II of this report. The tables of selected financial data shown below are derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, which include the operating results, cash flows and financial condition of Level 3 beginning November 1, 2017. These historical results are not necessarily indicative of results that you can expect for any future period. The following table summarizes selected financial information from our consolidated statements of operations. (1) See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations” in Item 7 of Part II of this report and in our preceding annual reports on Form 10-K for a discussion of unusual items affecting the results for each of the years presented. (2) During 2019 and 2018, we recorded non-cash, non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charges of $6.5 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. (3) During 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016, we incurred Level 3 acquisition-related expenses of $234 million, $393 million, $271 million and $52 million, respectively. For additional information, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Acquisition of Level 3” and Note 2—Acquisition of Level 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of Part II of this report.

(5) The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 resulted in a re-measurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities at the new federal corporate tax rate of 21%. The re-measurement resulted in tax expense of $92 million for 2018 and a tax benefit of approximately $1.1 billion for 2017.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Sale of CGD Services On April 18, 2018, we entered into a stock purchase agreement with Nova Global Supply & Services, LLC (Purchaser), an entity affiliated with GC Valiant, LP, under which we agreed to sell our CGD Services business to the Purchaser. We concluded that the sale of the CGD Services business met all of the required conditions for discontinued operations presentation in the second quarter of fiscal 2018. Consequently, in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we recognized a $6.9 million loss within discontinued operations, which was calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the net assets of CGD Services less the estimated sales price in the stock purchase agreement less estimated selling costs. The sale closed on May 31, 2018. In accordance with the terms of the stock purchase agreement, the Purchaser agreed to pay us $135.0 million in cash upon the closing of the transaction, adjusted for the estimated working capital of CGD Services at the date of the sale compared to a working capital target. In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we received $133.8 million in connection with the sale and we recorded a receivable from the Purchaser for the estimated amount due related to the working capital settlement. The balance of this receivable was $3.7 million at September 30, 2018. During fiscal 2019, we worked with the Purchaser and revised certain estimates related to the working capital settlement. In connection with the revision of these estimates, we reduced the receivable from the Purchaser by $1.4 million and recognized a corresponding loss on the sale of CGD Services in fiscal 2019. Certain remaining working capital settlement estimates, primarily related to the fair value of accounts receivable, have not yet been settled with the Purchaser. In addition to the amounts described above, we are eligible to receive an additional cash payment of $3.0 million based on the achievement of pre-determined earn-out conditions related to the award of certain government contracts. No amount has been recorded as a receivable related to the potential achievement of earn-out conditions based upon our assessment of the probability of achievement of the required conditions. The operations and cash flows of CGD Services are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as discontinued operations through May 31, 2018, the date of the sale. The following table presents the composition of net income from discontinued operations, net of taxes (in thousands):

A.4.2 Income As a result of the development described for the segments, Income from continuing operations before income taxes declined 7 %. Severance charges for continuing operations were € 619 million, of which € 492 million were in Industrial Businesses. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITA margin Industrial Businesses excluding severance charges was 11.5 % in fiscal 2019. In fiscal 2018, severance charges for continuing operations were € 923 million, of which € 669 million were in Industrial Businesses. The tax rate of 25% for fiscal 2019 was below the tax rate of 26% for the prior year, benefiting mainly from the reversal of income tax provisions outside Germany. As a result, Income from continuing operations declined 6%. Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the prior year included positive effects from the release of a provision related to former Communications activities. The decline in basic earnings per share reflects the decrease of Net income attributable to Shareholders of Siemens AG, which was € 5,174 million in fiscal 2019 compared to € 5,807 million in fiscal 2018, partially offset by a lower number of weighted average shares outstanding. Basic earnings per share excluding severance charges was € 6.93. As expected, ROCE at 11.1 % was below the target range set in our Siemens Financial Framework, reflecting in particular the effects from portfolio transactions in recent years, including the acquisitions of Mentor and Mendix at Digital Industries and the merger of Siemens’ wind power business with Gamesa Corporación Tecnológica, S. A. that created SGRE. The decline year-over-year was due both to lower income before interest after tax and to higher average capital employed.

2019 Annual LTI Grants. Except for Messrs. Dev, Trezise and Andrews, the Committee granted annual LTI
awards to our named executives in February 2019 at amounts substantially similar to the awards granted to
them in 2018. Mr. Dev’s 2019 LTI target was increased to $2,700,000, as previously approved by the Committee
upon his promotion to CFO in November 2018. Mr. Andrews’ 2019 LTI target was increased to $750,000, as
previously approved by the Committee following a review of compensation benchmarking in November 2018. In
February 2019, the Committee reviewed the compensation benchmarking data for all executive officers and
increased Mr. Trezise’s LTI target to $800,000 and left unchanged the LTI target for our other NEOs. On February 28, 2019, the Committee granted our named executives the following number of (i) restricted shares or RSUs that will vest over a three-year period principally in exchange for continued service (“time-vested restricted shares or RSUs”), (ii) performance-based restricted shares or RSUs that will vest in two equal installments on March 1 of each of 2021 and 2022 based on attainment during the 2019 Performance Period, as defined above, of an Adjusted EBITDA Run Rate target of 0.0% (the “Performance-Vested Shares or RSUs”), as described further above: (1) Represents the number of restricted shares or RSUs granted in 2019. (2) As discussed further above, the actual number of shares that vest in the future may be lower or higher, depending on the level of performance achieved. (3) Dividends on the shares of restricted stock (or, with respect to RSUs, dividend equivalents) will not be paid while unvested, but will accrue and paid or be forfeited in tandem with the vesting of the related shares or RSUs. (4) For purposes of these grants, we determined both the number of time-vested and performance-based restricted shares or RSUs by dividing the total grant value granted to the executive by the volume-weighted average closing price of a share of our common stock over the 15-trading-day period ending five trading days prior to the grant date (“VWAP”), rounding to the nearest whole share. However, as noted previously, for purposes of reporting these awards in the Summary Compensation Table, our shares of time-vested restricted stock or RSUs are valued based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and our shares of performance-based restricted stock or RSUs are valued as of the grant date based on probable outcomes, as required by applicable accounting and SEC disclosure rules. See footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation Table for more information. (5) Mr. Storey’s annual grant was in the form of RSUs.

(2) Net revenues from “Other” primarily includes revenues from our Distribution business and the Overwatch League. Digital Online Channel Net Revenues The decrease in net revenues from digital online channels for 2019, as compared to 2018, was primarily due to: • lower revenues recognized from the Destiny franchise (reflecting our sale of the publishing rights for Destiny to Bungie in December 2018); and • lower revenues recognized from Hearthstone. Retail Channel Net Revenues The decrease in net revenues from retail channels for 2019, as compared to 2018, was primarily due to: • lower revenues recognized from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which was released in October 2018, as compared to Call of Duty: WWII, which was released in November 2017; • lower revenues recognized from the Destiny franchise; and • lower revenues from Crash Bandicoot™ N. Sane Trilogy, which was released on the Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch in June 2018. The decrease was partially offset by: • revenues recognized from Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, which was released in June 2019; • revenues from Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which was released in March 2019; and • higher revenues recognized from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which was released in October 2019, as compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

A party hall has 3 decorative light bulbs; a red light bulb which comes on every 2 seconds, a green one every 3 seconds and a blue one every 4 seconds. If they are put on at the same time, what is the shortest time after which the three bulbs will be on at the same time? | The blue light bulb comes on every 2 seconds so it will be on after 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14... seconds (multiples of 2)
The red light bulb comes on every 3 seconds so it will be on after 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18... seconds (multiples of 3)
The blue light bulb comes on every 4 seconds so it will be on after 4, 8, 12, 16, 20... seconds (multiples of 4)
The shortest time after which all three will be on is 12 seconds which is the least common multiple of the set of multiples.

Joey studies for his SAT exams 2 hours per night 5 nights a week. On the weekends, he studies 3 hours a day. If his SAT exam is 6 weeks away, how much time will Joey spend studying? | Joey studies 2 hours a night 5 nights a week so that's 2*5 = <<2*5=10>>10 hours
He studies 3 hours a day on the weekends so that's 3*2 = <<3*2=6>>6 hours
In one week, Joey studies 10+6 = <<10+6=16>>16 hours

Half of Taylor's house guests like weak coffee and the other half like strong coffee in the morning. Taylor uses 1 tablespoon of coffee per cup of water to make it weak and he doubles that amount to make it strong. If he makes 12 cups of both weak and strong coffee, how many tablespoons of coffee will he need? | He uses 1 tablespoon for weak coffee and doubles that for strong so the strong uses 1*2 = <<1*2=2>>2 tablespoons
For the weak coffee he uses 1 tablespoon per 1 cup of water and he needs to make 12 cups so he'll use 1*12 = <<1*12=12>>12 tablespoons
For the strong coffee he uses 2 tablespoons per 1 cup of water and he needs to make 12 cups so he'll use 2*12 = <<2*12=24>>24 tablespoons
All total he will use 12 tablespoons for the weak coffee and 24 tablespoons for the strong coffee for a total of 12+24 = <<36=36>>36 tablespoons

Interest Income and Interest Expense Interest income is earned on our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities. The increase in interest income in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 was attributable to higher investment yields, related in part to longer duration investments, as well as higher average investment balances. Interest expense primarily includes interest on our term loans, partially offset by income from our interest-rate swap derivative contracts, as well as term loan issuance costs amortization charges. The decrease in interest expense in fiscal 2019 compared to fiscal 2018 was primarily due to lower outstanding debt balances related to the CMI acquisition as a result of principal payments made, partially offset by additional interest expense related to the term loan originated to finance the acquisition of FRT. Other Income (Expense), Net Other income (expense), net primarily includes the effects of foreign currency impact and various other gains and losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources We believe our ability to generate cash flows from operating activities is one of our fundamental financial strengths. In the near term, we expect our business and financial condition to remain strong and to continue to generate significant operating cash flows, which, we believe, in combination with our existing balance of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $5.9 billion, our access to capital, and the availability of our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to finance our operational and financing requirements for the next 12 months. Our primary sources of liquidity, which are available to us to fund cash outflows such as potential dividend payments or share repurchases, and scheduled debt maturities, include our cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and cash flows provided by operating activities. As of December 31, 2019, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held outside of the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries was $2.8 billion, as compared to $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2018. These cash balances are generally available for use in the U.S., subject in some cases to certain restrictions. Our cash provided from operating activities is somewhat impacted by seasonality. Working capital needs are impacted by weekly sales, which are generally highest in the fourth quarter due to seasonal and holiday-related sales patterns. We consider, on a continuing basis, various transactions to increase shareholder value and enhance our business results, including acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, share repurchases, and other structural changes. These transactions may result in future cash proceeds or payments. Sources of Liquidity (amounts in millions)

Net Sales Market Application The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the amount of net sales and their relative
percentages of total net sales by market application (dollars in thousands): During fiscal 2019, net sales decreased by $471.9 million, or 25%, compared to fiscal 2018, with decreases in the microelectronics and materials processing markets, partially offset by increases in the OEM components and instrumentation market. Ondax, which we acquired on October 5, 2018, contributed $6.4 million in incremental net sales to the materials processing market in the ILS segment in fiscal 2019. In fiscal 2019, we continued to experience weaker demand in the microelectronics and materials processing markets. Entering fiscal 2020, we have started seeing indications which could lead to increased future demand in the microelectronics flat panel display market, but this is balanced by possible continuing headwinds in the global materials processing industry.

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018 Revenues Our Products and Licensing segment included revenues from sales of test and measurement systems, primarily representing sales of our Optical Backscatter Reflectometer, ODiSI, and Optical Vector Analyzer platforms, optical components and sub-assemblies and sales of our Hyperion and Terahertz sensing platforms. Our Products and Licensing segment revenues increased $22.5 million to $44.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $21.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase resulted primarily from $10.8 million of revenues realized from the legacy business of MOI and $10.5 million of revenues realized from the legacy business of GP during the year ended December 31, 2019. Continued growth in sales of our fiber-optic sensing products, including our ODiSI products directed toward the expanding use of composite materials and the need for improved means of testing their structural integrity, and our communications test instruments also contributed to this increase. Our Technology Development segment revenues increased $5.1 million to $26.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $21.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Revenues within this segment increased due to additional contract awards, including higher value Phase 2 SBIR contracts. The increase continues a growth trend experienced over the past two years largely driven by successes in Phase 2 SBIR awards. The increase was realized primarily in our intelligent systems, advanced materials, optical systems and terahertz research groups. As Phase 2 SBIR contracts generally have a performance period of a year or more, we currently expect Technology Development segment revenues to remain at a similar level for the near term.

What is the solution to this math problem?
On her birthday, Avianna bought red candles and blue candles in the ratio of 5:3. If Avianna had 45 red candles on her birthday, how many blue candles did she have? | If the ratio of red candles to blue candles Avianna bought was 5:3, then the total ratio was 5+3 = 8.
If 5 represented 45 candles in the total ratio, then 8, the actual ratio, represents 8*45 = 360 divided by 5 is 360/5 = 72 candles.
If the total number of candles was 72, then the number of blue candles is 72 candles - 45 candles = <<72-45=27>>27 candles

(1) Exclude adjustments related to the migration to the new customer management system implemented during the third quarter of fiscal 2018. During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Canadian broadband services segment implemented a new customer management system, replacing 22 legacy systems. While the customer management system was still in the stabilization phase, contact center congestion resulted in lower services activations during most of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018. Contact center and marketing operations had returned to normal at the end of the first quarter of 2019. Variations of each services are also explained as follows: INTERNET Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter Internet service customers net additions stood at 2,540 compared to net losses of 2,965 for the same period of the prior year mainly due to: • the ongoing interest in high speed offerings; • the sustained interest in bundle offers; and • the increased demand from Internet resellers; partly offset by • competitive offers in the industry. VIDEO Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter video service customers net losses stood at 8,164 compared to 15,953 for the same period of the prior year as a result of: • highly competitive offers in the industry; and • a changing video consumption environment; partly offset by • customers' ongoing interest in digital advanced video services; and • customers' interest in video services bundled with fast Internet offerings. TELEPHONY Fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter telephony service customers net additions amounted to 2,778 compared to net losses 16,900 for the same period of the prior year mainly due to: • more telephony bundles due to additional promotional activity in the second half of fiscal 2019; and • growth in the business sector; partly offset by • increasing wireless penetration in North America and various unlimited offers launched by wireless operators causing some customers to cancel their landline telephony services for wireless telephony services only.

Central Overheads declined by $76 million in F19 to $60 million due to a one‐off payment from Caltex of $50 million and a reversal of impairment on a property subsequently classified as held for sale of $37 million. Central Overheads are still expected to be approximately $150 million on an annual basis before taking into account any impact from the Endeavour Group transaction. A small increase in inventory to $4,280 million was primarily due to higher closing inventory in New Zealand and BIG W to improve availability. Closing inventory days declined 0.9 days to 37.2 days and average inventory days from continuing operations declined by 0.2 days to 38.8 days. Net investment in inventory of $939 million remained broadly consistent with prior year. Adjusting for the impact of an extra New Zealand Food payment run in the 53rd week of $153 million, net investment in inventory declined by 19%. Other creditors and provisions of $4,308 million decreased $40 million compared to the prior year. Excluding significant items relating to the BIG W network review and cash utilisation of F16 significant items provisions, the decrease in other creditors and provisions was primarily driven by a reduction in accruals associated with store team costs. Fixed assets, investments and loans to related parties of $9,710 million increased by $528 million. Additions of fixed assets of $2,040 million during the year mainly related to store refurbishments, supply chain and IT infrastructure and included $203 million related to property development activity. This was partially offset by depreciation and amortisation, disposals and an impairment of $166 million associated with the BIG W network review. Net assets held for sale of $225 million decreased by $575 million mainly as a result of the sale of the Petrol business to EG Group on 1 April 2019. Intangible assets of $6,526 million increased by $61 million driven by an increase in goodwill and brand names in New Zealand due to the strengthening of the New Zealand dollar, a minor increase in goodwill associated with the acquisition of businesses partially offset by an impairment to the carrying value of Summergate of $21 million. Net tax balances of $227 million increased $66 million due to an increase in deferred tax assets associated with the provisions raised as a result of the BIG W network review. Net debt of $1,599 million increased by $377 million largely due to the timing of New Zealand creditor payments, higher net capital expenditure (excluding the proceeds from the sale of the Petrol business) and an increase in dividends paid during the year. Normalised Return on Funds Employed (ROFE) from continuing operations was 24.2%, 11 bps up on the prior year. Normalised AASB 16 estimated ROFE was 14.1%. Cash flow from operating activities before interest and tax was $3,858 million, an increase of 0.5% on the prior year. Excluding the impact of significant items, higher EBITDA was offset by the impact of the New Zealand payment run in week 53 and a movement in provisions and accruals. The cash flow benefit from an extra week of trading is offset by nine months of EBITDA from the Petrol business compared to a full year in F18. The cash realisation ratio was 74.1%. Excluding the timing of the New Zealand payment run, and charges associated with the BIG W network review and gain on sale of the Petrol business, the cash realisation ratio was 98.4%, impacted by the cash utilisation of provisions and accruals offset by trade working capital improvements. Net interest paid of $166 million declined by 9.8% compared to the prior year due to the early repayment of US Private Placement Notes in the prior year reducing average borrowing costs.

Operating expenses nm—not meaningful Research and development expenses Research and development expenses increased $15.8 million in the year ended March 31, 2018 compared to the year ended March 31, 2017, which was primarily attributable to increases in personnel-related costs of $10.1 million, information technology and facility costs of $2.3 million, professional services costs of $0.9 million, share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million, travel and other costs of $0.5 million and data center costs of $0.5 million.

5. INVESTMENTS The Company determines the appropriate designation of investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. All of the Company’s investments are designated as available-for-sale debt securities. As of September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s short-term investments have maturity dates of less than one year from the balance sheet date. The Company’s long-term investments have maturity dates of greater than one year from the balance sheet date. Available-for-sale marketable securities are carried at fair value as determined by quoted market prices for identical or similar assets, with unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, and reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Management reviews the fair value of the portfolio at least monthly and evaluates individual securities with fair value below amortized cost at the balance sheet date. For debt securities, in order to determine whether impairment is other than-temporary, management must conclude whether the Company intends to sell the impaired security and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell an impaired debt security or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovering its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to have occurred. The amount of an other-than-temporary impairment related to a credit loss, or securities that management intends to sell before recovery, is recognized in earnings. The amount of an other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities related to other factors is recorded consistent with changes in the fair value of all other available for-sale securities as a component of stockholders’ equity in other comprehensive income. No other-than-temporary impairment charges were recognized in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2019, 2018, and 2017. There were no realized gains or losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities during the years ended September 30, 2019 and 2017. The Company recorded a net realized loss from the sale of available-for-sale securities of $49,000 during the year ended September 30, 2018. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts, interest, dividend income, and realized gains and losses are included in investment income. The following tables summarize investments by type of security as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively(amounts shown in thousands):
| September 30, 2019: | Cost | Gross Unrealized Gains | Gross Unrealized Losses | Fair Market Value |
|---------------------------------------|---------|--------------------------|---------------------------|---------------------|
| Available-for-sale securities: | | | | |
| U.S. Treasury, short-term | $4,240 | $2 | $— | $4,242 |
