Due to the legislation of the U.S. tax reform (Tax Cuts & Jobs Act), resulting in revaluations of deferred tax liabilities on the balance sheet, Hexagon expects a one-off positive tax income of approximately 72 MEUR during the fourth quarter of 2017. The one-off positive tax effect will not impact the cash flow.

Hexagon does not expect any significant changes in the group tax rate for 2018 based on current estimates.
