Basis of Presentation

Principles of Combination and Consolidation

Subsequent to January 3, 2017, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, our wholly owned subsidiaries and entities in which we have a controlling financial interest, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where we are the primary beneficiary. The historical unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements through January 3, 2017 represent the financial position and results of operations of entities held by us after the spin-off that had historically been under common control of the Parent. The historical unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements were prepared on a carve-out basis and reflect significant assumptions and allocations. The unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements reflect our historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods. All significant intercompany transactions and balances within the financial statements have been eliminated.

Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Allocations

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance.
