[1] In March 2018, the Company acquired technology, talent and cross-border logistics infrastructure that operated a marketplace and casillero business. Investments in the technology, talent and infrastructure to expand our omni-channel capabilities, together with the operating results from the marketplace and casillero business, negatively impacted Net income attributable to PriceSmart, Inc. by $2.9 million for the quarter and $11.0 million for the nine months ended May 31, 2019. Management considers this business to be part of its United States operations.
