In an effort to more closely align our reported Adjusted EBITDA with our operating cash flow and for consistency with our peers, beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2016, Adjusted EBITDA now includes total cash distributions received from equity investees, including the cash distributions recorded as a reduction of the respective investment balance. Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2015 has been recast to reflect comparable presentations.

[4] Distributions from equity method investees are reported entirely within the U.S. operating segment.
