[1] In the fourth quarter of 2014, loss from operations includes goodwill impairment of $3.6 million and gain on adjustment to estimated contingent payments of $0.2 million.
[2] Unusually cold weather in the first quarter of 2014 that affected the overall demand for electricity and natural gas for heat caused a significant increase in revenues and direct cost of revenues in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2015. The winter's polar vortex resulted in extraordinarily large spikes in the prices of wholesale electricity and natural gas in markets where GRE and other REPs purchased their supply.
