The presentations under this heading, the corresponding section of the Form 10-Q that you filed on April 28, 2016, and in press releases pertaining to your 2015 fourth quarter and full year results, and 2016 first quarter results (including the bullet point headlines and narratives) attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-Ks filed on February 11, 2016, and April 28, 2016, result in non-GAAP measures being presented with greater prominence than GAAP measures, which is inconsistent with the updated Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (C&DI) issued on May 17, 2016, in particular C&DI 102.10. Please review this guidance when preparing your next periodic filing and earnings release.
