(1) The increases in chargebacks and rebates, administrative and other fees for the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, were primarily due to product, customer mix, price erosion and volume declines. The price erosion and volume declines were due to increased industry pricing pressure and the competitive nature of our business.
