The majority of the Company’s consolidated foreign currency gains and losses are typically driven by movements in the Taiwan Dollar, Euro, and British Pound Sterling in relation to the U.S. Dollar and the related exchange rate impact on the significant cash, receivables, and payables held in a currency other than the functional currency at one of the Company’s subsidiaries. However, there is minimal cash impact from such foreign currency gains and losses. |

The tax effect of foreign currency gains and losses was calculated using the pro forma effective tax rate of 21.3% and an effective tax rate of 18.1% for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. |
