MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Donaldson Company, Inc. (NYSE: DCI) today provided provisional estimates of the impact from the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on its fiscal 2018 results.
Donaldson expects its second quarter 2018 results will include the following non-cash items:
- A provisional charge of approximately $110 million, or $0.83 per share,1 related to the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings, to be paid over eight years.
- A provisional charge of approximately $2 million, or $0.02 per share, related to the re-measurement of Donaldson’s net deferred tax assets.
Additionally, the Company estimates the net impact from the TCJA will lower the full-year 2018 effective tax rate by approximately 1 percentage point, reflecting a partial-year benefit from the U.S. corporate tax rate reduction that is largely offset by a negative impact from foreign withholding tax and other matters related to the TCJA. Longer term, Donaldson expects an annual effective tax rate between 24 and 28 percent.
The provisional estimates of the impact from the TCJA are based on currently available information and interpretation of its provisions. Management believes these charges are a reasonable estimate, as of February 7, 2018, that may change as additional required information is prepared and analyzed, interpretations and assumptions are refined, additional guidance is issued, and due to actions taken because of the legislation. Donaldson expects to finalize the impact from the TCJA during the financial close process for its fiscal year ended July 31, 2018.
Members of Donaldson’s management team will discuss the broader impacts from tax reform, including the Company’s capital deployment priorities and other business matters, during a webcast of its second quarter 2018 earnings conference call on March 6, 2018, at 9:00 a.m. CST.
