[1] In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service released final Regulations governing when taxpayers like the Company must capitalize and depreciate costs for acquiring, maintaining, repairing and replacing tangible property and when taxpayers can deduct such costs. These Regulations permitted the Company to deduct certain types of expenditures that were previously required to be capitalized. The Regulations also allowed the Company to make a one-time election to immediately deduct certain amounts that were capitalized in previous years that are not required to be capitalized under the new Regulations. The Company elected to take its one-time allowable deduction in 2015, which totaled approximately $85.9 million.
[2] All adjustments to "GAAP net income from REIT operations" are net of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interest and taxable REIT subsidiaries.
