Notes:

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company changed its allocation methodology for allocating its centrally managed technology-related expenses to its reportable segments to more accurately reflect each segment’s respective usage. The adjusted results by quarter reflect the allocation methodology change to technology-related expenses for each of the four quarters and the full years of 2018 and 2019. Prior years were not restated

For additional information, see footnotes on pages 4 and 59
