The improvement in the fourth quarter results for 2015 compared to 2014 includes an increase in revenues of $57.6 million offset by an increase in operating expenses of $46.7 million. The primary driver behind these increases was organic growth in, and outside of Florida and the elimination of quota-share reinsurance in June 2015. The Company also benefited from an overall decrease in the cost of certain reinsurance. The effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2015 decreased compared to the same period in 2014 primarily as a result of a reduction in non-deductible compensation.
