In the fourth quarter of 2017, an unfavorable $2.8 million net out of period expense adjustment was included that related to prior periods from the third quarter of 2016 through the third quarter of 2017. With respect to this error, the Company has concluded that it was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations for 2017 and 2016 and related interim periods, based on its consideration of quantitative and qualitative factors.
