[1] The comparability of our quarterly financial data is impacted by the acquisitions of certain businesses during both of the years December 31, 2016 and 2015 as discussed in Note 1, "Description of Business and Basis of Presentation."
[2] Basic and diluted income (loss) per LP unit is computed separately for each quarter and therefore, the sum of such quarterly per LP unit amounts may differ from the total for the year.
