The Corporation's effective tax rate was higher in the three months ended March 30, 2019 compared to the same period last year primarily due to the release of a valuation allowance for certain foreign jurisdictions for the first three months of 2018.

On February 14, 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which provides entities an option to reclassify stranded tax effects related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") within accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") to retained earnings for each period in which the effects of the Act is recorded. The ASU 2018-02 does not modify the existing requirement to allocate the income tax effects of changes in tax laws or rates directly to continuing operations as a component of income tax expense (benefit). The amendments are effective for all organizations for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted.

The Corporation adopted in Q1 2019 and applied the portfolio approach of accounting related to releasing income tax effects from AOCI. During the three months ended, March 30, 2019 the Corporation reclassified $0.7 million of federal income taxes that were stranded in AOCI due to the Act to retained earnings. No other income tax effects were reclassified.
