In January 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, which eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. In the year ended December 31, 2018, the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges recognized was $3.8 million and insignificant in the year ended December 31, 2017

During 2017, we recorded an impairment charge of $7.0 million pertaining to a cost method investment in a development stage home products company due to an other-than-temporary decline in its fair value. As a result of the impairment, the carrying value of the investment was reduced to zero and the Company is not subject to further impairment or funding obligations with regard to this investment.
