| (1) |  | The negative carrying value resulted from a one-time charge of $239 million to this entity in 2019 due to the adoption of the new revenue standard. This charge was offset by deferred tax impacts of $53 million. The charge relates to timing of revenue recognition for open performance obligations as measured at January 1, 2019. Most of these performance obligations are expected to be recognized within the next twelve months.
