• | For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded $114.0 million in pretax expenses, with $99.8 million within Selling, General and Administrative expenses and $14.2 million of these expenses in Cost of Services related to the Q3 cybersecurity incident. In addition, as a result of the Tax Act the company recorded preliminary adjustments totaling a net tax benefit of $48.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
• | For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recorded $40.2 million ($28.2 million, net of tax) for Veda acquisition related amounts. Of this amount, $30.1 million relates to transaction and integration costs in operating income, $9.2 million is recorded in other income and is the impact of foreign currency changes on the transaction structure, including the economic hedges, and $0.7 million is recorded in interest expense.
