(a)Represents net changes in estimated probable recoveries related to self-insurance, which are recorded in receivables, to present our self-insurance liability on a gross basis; an adjustment to increase our previously recorded liability by $7.0 million in 2022 and $6.8 million in 2021; and an adjustment to reduce our previously recorded liability by $4.0 million in 2020. The 2022 amount primarily reflected a change in the actuarially determined estimate of probable recoveries largely associated with higher self-insured retention levels in our more recent coverage years, and an insurance carrier’s payment of a portion of a townhome claim settlement reached in the 2022 first quarter.
