[1] Includes a goodwill impairment loss of $75.2 million in the third quarter of 2017.

[2] Income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) and the related earnings (loss) per share amounts for each of the quarters in 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2017 are revised from those originally reported to correct errors in income tax expense (benefit) associated with the measurement of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Based on an analysis of quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company determined the related impacts were not material to its previously filed annual or interim consolidated financial statements, and therefore, amendments of previously filed reports are not required.
