Exhibit 99.1
1. | We have reviewed your response to comment one of our letter dated April 21, 2017 and have taken your analysis into consideration. We continue to believe that when you provide an operating metric on a pro-rata basis, it is also important to include a consolidated and unconsolidated equivalent on a stand-alone basis. Please revise your disclosures in future earnings supplements accordingly. |
