(1) Effective January 1, 2018, we realigned the composition of certain segments to align with our new leadership reporting structure. We now report our Mexico business as a part of our Latin America segment. As a result, we reassigned approximately $53 million of goodwill, using a relative fair value approach, from the North America reporting unit to the Latin America reporting unit.
