quarter of 2016. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, the Company reported diluted earnings per common share of $0.90, as compared to diluted earnings per common share of $1.01 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of
11%. Net income available to common shareholders totaled $441.6 million in 2017 as compared to $495.4 million in 2016, also down 11%. Net income for 2017 was $466.2 million, down 6% from 2016. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter was
approximately 6% due to a $42 million net tax benefit arising from the impact of the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including the re-measurement of the company&#146;s deferred tax liability. </P>
