At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had approximately $15,250 and $15,141, respectively, of restricted cash held by certain financial institutions related to bank guarantees.

b.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Liabilities
Goodwill
Since December 31, 2018, there have been no changes to our accounting polices related to the accounting for goodwill. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no factors were identified that would alter our October 1, 2018 goodwill impairment analysis.
Our reporting units as of December 31, 2018 are described in detail in Note 2.h. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. On March 19, 2019, we divested the business included in our former Consumer Storage reporting unit, which had no goodwill associated with it at December 31, 2018 or at the date of the divestment. See Note 9 for additional information.
The goodwill associated with acquisitions completed during the first three months of 2019 (which are described in Note 3) has been incorporated into our reporting units as they existed as of December 31, 2018.
The changes in the carrying value of goodwill attributable to each reportable operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are as follows:

Data Center Lessor Considerations

Our data center business features storage rental provided to customers at contractually specified rates over a fixed contractual period. Prior to January 1, 2019, our data center revenue contracts were accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, as described in more detail in Note 2.d. Beginning on January 1, 2019, our data center revenue contracts will be accounted for in accordance with ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 provides a practical expedient which allows lessors to account for nonlease components (such as power and connectivity, in the case of our data center business) with the related lease component if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for nonlease components and the lease component, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The single combined component is accounted for under ASU 2016-02 if the lease component is the predominant component and is accounted for under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), if the nonlease components are the predominant components. We have elected to take this practical expedient. Storage rental revenue associated with our data center business was $59,718 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which includes approximately $9,100 of revenue associated with power and connectivity. The revenue related to the service component of our data center business remains unchanged from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and is recognized in the period the related services are provided. Our accounting treatment for data center revenue was not significantly impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-02.

d. Leases
We lease facilities for certain warehouses, data centers and office space. We also have land leases, including those on which certain facilities are located. The majority of our leased facilities are classified as operating leases that, on average, have initial lease terms of five to 10 years, with one or more lease renewal options to extend the lease term. Our lease renewal option terms generally range from one to five years. The exercise of the lease renewal option is at our sole discretion and may contain fixed rent, fair market value based rent or Consumer Price Index rent escalation clauses. We include option periods in the lease term when our failure to renew the lease would result in an economic disincentive, thereby making it reasonably certain that we will renew the lease. We recognize straight line rental expense over the life of the lease and any fair market value or Consumer Price Index rent escalations are recognized as variable lease expense in the period in which the obligation is incurred. In addition, we lease certain vehicles and equipment. Vehicle and equipment leases have lease terms ranging from one to seven years.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases, both operating and financing (formerly referred to as capital leases under ASC 840). ASU 2016-02 requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

We adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis under which we recognized and measured leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the period of adoption. Therefore, we applied ASC 840 to all earlier comparative periods (prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02), including disclosures, and recognized the effects of applying ASU 2016-02 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, the effective date of the standard. As such, the comparative Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 has not been restated to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-02. Accordingly, the majority of the amount presented as deferred rent liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 is now included in the calculation of operating lease right-of-use assets and any remaining amounts are now classified within other liability line items on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019. The transition guidance associated with ASU 2016-02 also permitted certain practical expedients. We elected the "package of 3" practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which, among other things, allowed us to carryforward our historical lease classifications. We also adopted an accounting policy which provides that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be included within the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets after the adoption of ASU 2016-02. We will continue to recognize the lease payments for those leases with an initial term of 12 months or less in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The lease right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are classified as either operating or financing. Lease right-of-use assets are calculated as the net present value of future payments plus any capitalized initial direct costs less any tenant improvements or lease incentives. Lease liabilities are calculated as the net present value of future payments. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, we will utilize the rate stated within the lease (in the limited circumstances when such rate is available) or, if no rate is explicitly stated, we have elected to utilize a rate that reflects our securitized incremental borrowing rate by geography for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11"). ASU 2018-11 provides a practical expedient which allows lessees to account for nonlease components (which include common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance) with the related lease component. Any variable nonlease components are not included within the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and instead, are reflected as an expense in the period incurred. We have elected to take this practical expedient upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.
At January 1, 2019, we recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2016-02 as an adjustment to the opening balance of (distributions in excess of earnings) earnings in excess of distributions, resulting in an increase of approximately $5,800 to stockholders' equity due to certain build to suit leases that were accounted for as financing leases under ASC 840, Leases, but are accounted for as operating leases under ASU 2016-02 at January 1, 2019.

We record stock-based compensation expense, utilizing the straight-line method, for the cost of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance units ("PUs") and shares of stock issued under our employee stock purchase plan (together, "Employee Stock-Based Awards"). There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies, assumptions and valuation methodologies related to the accounting for our Employee Stock-Based Awards as disclosed in Note 2.n. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report.
For our Employee Stock-Based Awards made on or after February 20, 2019, we have included the following retirement provision: Upon an employee’s retirement on or after attaining age 58, if the sum of (i) the award recipient’s age at retirement and (ii) the award recipient’s years of service with the company totals at least 70, the award recipient is entitled to continued vesting of any outstanding Employee Stock-Based Awards which include the 2019 Retirement Criteria subsequent to their retirement, provided that, for awards granted in the year of retirement, their retirement occurs on or after July 1st (the “2019 Retirement Criteria”). Accordingly, (i) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to an employee who has met the 2019 Retirement Criteria on or before the date of grant, or will meet the Retirement Criteria before July 1st of the year of the grant, will be expensed between the date of grant and July 1st of the grant year and (ii) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to employees who will meet the 2019 Retirement Criteria during the award’s normal vesting period will be expensed between the date of grant and the date upon which the award recipient meets the 2019 Retirement Criteria. Stock options and RSUs granted to recipients who meet the 2019 Retirement Criteria will continue vesting on the original vesting schedule, and the stock options will remain exercisable up to three years after retirement, or the original expiration date of the stock options, if earlier. PUs granted to recipients who meet the 2019 Retirement Criteria will continue to vest and be delivered in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the applicable PU award and remain subject to the same performance conditions.
Stock-based compensation expense for Employee Stock-Based Awards for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $8,519 ($7,935 after tax or $0.03 per basic and diluted share) and $7,384 ($6,833 after tax or $0.02 per basic and diluted share), respectively, the substantial majority of which is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2019, unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of our Employee Stock-Based Awards was $72,353 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.

f.    Income (Loss) Per Share—Basic and Diluted
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share is consistent with that of basic income (loss) per share, but gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as stock options, RSUs or PUs) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

g.    Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Our estimate of the effective tax rates for the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018 reflect the impact of the U.S. tax reform legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Legislation”). See Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the impact the Tax Reform Legislation had on us. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (1) changes in the mix of income between our qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs") and our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (2) tax law changes; (3) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (4) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; and (5) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate.
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

_______________________________________________________________________________

(1)
The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates.  
(2)
The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction, a discrete tax benefit of approximately $14,000 associated with the resolution of a tax matter and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates.
h.    Fair Value Measurements
Our financial assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

(2)
Certain trading securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices.
(3)
Certain trading securities are measured based on inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable.
(4)
Derivative assets and liabilities relate to short-term (six months or less) foreign currency contracts that we have entered into to hedge certain of our foreign exchange intercompany exposures. We calculate the value of such forward contracts by adjusting the spot rate utilized at the balance sheet date for translation purposes by an estimate of the forward points observed in active markets. As of March 31, 2019, we had outstanding forward contracts to (i) purchase 4,000 Euros and sell $4,610 United States dollars and (ii) purchase $4,515 United States dollars and sell 4,000 Euros. As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding forward contracts to purchase 29,000 Euros and sell $33,374 United States dollars. We have not designated any of the forward contracts we have entered into as hedges.
(5)
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have $350,000 in notional value of interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which expire in March 2022. Under the interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments (at the fixed rate interest specified in the interest rate swap agreements). We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps are estimated using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we designated, on average, 271,146 Euros of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we designated, on average, 164,244 Euros of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2019, cumulative net gains of $20,399 net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with this net investment hedge.

The gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, calculated as the difference between the historical exchange rate and the exchange rate at the applicable measurement date, include gains or losses related to (i) borrowings in certain foreign currencies under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined and discussed more fully in Note 4), (ii) our Euro Notes, (iii) certain foreign currency denominated intercompany obligations of our foreign subsidiaries to us and between our foreign subsidiaries, which are not considered permanently invested, and (iv) amounts that are paid or received on the net settlement amount from forward contracts (as more fully discussed in Note 2.h.).

Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily comprised of a gain on sale resulting from the Consumer Storage Transaction (as defined and discussed more fully in Note 9) of approximately $4,200. Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 also includes the change in estimated fair value of the noncontrolling interests associated with our business in India, which are accounted for as mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests.
k.    New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. We adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02. We adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. See Note 2.d. for information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.
l. Change in Presentation

Subsequent to our conversion to a REIT, we have historically classified gains on sale of real estate, net of tax, as a separate line on our consolidated statements of operations and excluded such amounts from our reported operating income. We presented such amounts net of tax as these gains were presented below the provision (benefit) for income taxes on our consolidated statements of operations. Commencing with the first quarter of 2019, we will present gains on sale of real estate as a component of operating income in the line item loss (gain) on disposal/write down of property, plant and equipment, net. Such amounts will be presented gross of tax with any tax impact presented within provision (benefit) for income taxes. All prior periods will be conformed to this presentation going forward. No gains on the sale of real estate were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2019 or 2018.

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates.
Acquisitions Completed During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

In order to enhance our existing operations in the United States, the United Kingdom and Switzerland and to expand our operations into Bulgaria, we completed the acquisition of four storage and records management companies and one art storage company for total cash consideration of approximately $31,900.

(3) Acquisitions (Continued)

See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding our allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions. The preliminary purchase price allocations that are not finalized as of March 31, 2019 primarily relate to the final assessment of the fair values of intangible assets and liabilities (primarily customer relationship intangible assets and data center lease-based intangible assets), property, plant and equipment (primarily building, building improvements, data center infrastructure and racking structures), right-of-use assets and liabilities associated with acquired operating leases, contingencies and income taxes (primarily deferred income taxes), primarily associated with the EvoSwitch Transaction (as defined in Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report), as well as other acquisitions we closed in 2019.
 
As the valuation of certain assets and liabilities for purposes of purchase price allocations are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances regarding these assets and liabilities that existed at the acquisition date. Any adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocation will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition dates. Adjustments recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were not material to our results from operations.

Acquisition of IO Data Centers in 2018

On January 10, 2018, we completed the IODC Transaction. At the closing of the IODC Transaction, we paid approximately $1,347,000. In February 2019, we paid approximately $31,000 in additional purchase price associated with the execution of customer contracts from the closing through the one-year anniversary of the IODC Transaction, which was accrued at December 31, 2018. This amount, net of amortization, is reported as a third-party commissions asset as a component of Other within Other assets, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") below summarizes the combined results of us and IODC on a pro forma basis as if the IODC Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2017.
