Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Corporation expects to record the $1.84 million charge as a one-time increase to the provision for income taxes, separate from the normal provision related to pre-tax operating results.
Uncertainties and Risks:
- The estimated impact may differ materially from the current figures.
- Variations could result from changes in interpretations, new guidance issued by authorities, or actions taken by the Corporation.
- Final figures are subject to the completion of consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and the completion of 2017 tax returns.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the final recorded tax charge in the Q2 2018 earnings release against the preliminary $1.84 million estimate.
- Confirm the final impact on diluted earnings per share and tangible book value per share.
- Monitor for any additional guidance or regulatory interpretations regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that could alter the revaluation of deferred tax assets.
- Review the full 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, for detailed risk factors referenced in this report.
