geographic basis and the results of certain geographies are more heavily impacted by purchase accounting than others, causing results that are not comparable at the reportable segment level, therefore, the impacts of purchase accounting adjustments to each segment vary and are not comparable within the company and when compared to other companies in similar regions, (iii) business management is evaluated and variable compensation is determined based on results excluding purchase accounting impacts, and; (iv) it is important to investors and analysts to understand the purchase accounting impacts to the financial statements. </p> <p style="margin:0px">A summary of each of the adjustments made for Purchase accounting impacts - Linde AG are as follows: </p> <p

amortization of the fair value of debt acquired in the merger. </p> <p style="margin:0px"><em>Adjusted Income Taxes and Effective Tax Rate:</em> Relates to the current and deferred income tax impact
