(1)	Other corporate expenses included intangibles amortization of $49.8 million and $46.9 million for the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, the three month period of fiscal 2023 included approximately $15.0 million in net favorable impacts from cost reductions compared to the prior year period, which was associated mainly with net favorable impacts during the current quarter from changes in employee benefit programs of $41 million offset by approximately $26 million in higher quarter over quarter spend in company technology platforms and other personnel and corporate cost increases.
(2)	Included in the three months ended December 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are $27.1 million and $72.3 million, respectively, in real estate impairment charges related to the Company's transformation initiatives.
(3)	The three months ended December 31, 2021 included a gain of $6.9 million related to a lease termination. Additionally, the increase in net interest expense year over year is primarily due to the higher levels of debt outstanding due to the funding of the StreetLight and BlackLynx acquisitions in fiscal 2022 and increased borrowings associated with the payment of the Legacy CH2M Matter settlement also in the prior year, in addition to higher interest rates.

(1)Included in other corporate expenses in the above table are costs and expenses, which relate to general corporate activities as well as corporate-managed benefit and insurance programs. Such costs and expenses include: (i) those elements of SG&A expenses relating to the business as a whole; (ii) those elements of our incentive compensation plans relating to corporate personnel whose other compensation costs are not allocated to the LOBs; (iii) the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of business combinations; (iv) the quarterly variances between the Company’s actual costs of certain of its self-insured integrated risk and employee benefit programs and amounts charged to the LOBs; and (v) certain adjustments relating to costs associated with the Company’s international defined benefit pension plans. In addition, other corporate expenses may also include from time to time certain adjustments to contract margins (both positive and negative) associated with projects, as well as other items, where it has been determined that such adjustments are not indicative of the performance of the related LOB.
