BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included as required by Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Accounting period
On December 31, 2015, the Company elected to change its fiscal year from a 52-53 week year ending the Saturday nearest to December 31 to a calendar year ending December 31 effective with fiscal year 2015. The Company made this change prospectively and did not adjust operating results for prior periods. The first quarter of 2015 ended on April 4, 2015 and the first quarter of 2016 ended on March 31, 2016. The change of the month-end date had an insignificant effect on results for quarter-end.
Reclassifications
Debt issuance costs were reclassified from deferred charges, net and other non-current assets to long-term debt, net of amortized debt issuance costs on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amortization of debt issuance costs were reclassified to interest expense in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03 to conform to the current year presentation in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements; see Note 2. These reclassifications had no material effect on previously reported results of operations or shareholders' equity.
