Allocation of expenses.
Prior to the spin-off, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included allocations of expenses from GHC for certain overhead functions, including, but not limited to, finance, human resources, legal, information technology, general insurance, risk management and other corporate functions. These expenses were allocated to the Company on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder generally allocated on a proportional basis using revenue or headcount. The Company was allocated $0 and $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of corporate overhead costs incurred by GHC. These cost allocations are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
 
These expense allocations were determined on the basis that both the Company and GHC considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or the benefit received by the Company. The allocations may not, however, have reflected the expense the Company would have incurred as an independent company for the periods prior to the spin-off. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure and certain strategic decisions.
