(a) The Company changed its financial statement classification for certain gross receipts taxes in 2016, removing these taxes from its provision for income taxes and moving this expense into selling, general and administrative expenses. Certain gross receipts of $6.1 and $7.6 were reclassified in 2014 and 2013 but inadvertently omitted from previously disclosed ratio of earnings to fixed charges for those years. The ratios presented above have the corrected amounts included therein.
(b) Income from continuing operations before tax and rental expense for the period ended December 31, 2015 has been revised.
