Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effect of the effective interest rate method, through the maturity of the related debt. The amortization of deferred debt issuance costs is included in interest expense, and was $1.3 million and $1.1 million during the first three months of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2016, respectively.
