(2) | Tax expense is determined based on the amount of additional taxes or tax benefits associated with each individual item. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) | Diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated discretely and therefore may not add up to the total due to rounding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) | Increases and decreases in deferred compensation obligations, which are recorded in SG&A, are substantially offset by corresponding gains and losses, respectively, related to changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI") for deferred compensation plan participants as a result of changes in market performance of the underlying investments; therefore, net impact to net income and earnings per share is de minimis. Gains and losses related to the COLI are recorded in non-operating Other Income (Loss), Net. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
