Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are presented on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”).
On our statement of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we reclassified the $15.7 million and $11.4 million, respectively, we paid for the restricted share units that we withheld upon their vesting for employee tax requirements from a reduction in cash flows from operating activities to a reduction in cash flows from financing activities. This reclassification was in connection with a recently issued accounting pronouncement related to employee share-based payment accounting we early adopted effective January 1, 2016 (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance” below).
