Dear Ms. Cooper and Ms. Monick:

(the “Company”). We have set forth in boldface type the text of the Staff’s comment in the aforementioned comment letter, followed by the Company’s response in plain text.

 

Form 8-K filed July 31, 2023

 

Exhibit 99.1

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information, page 11

 

1.    We have considered your response to comment 1 and your proposed disclosures related to Income Excluding Market Driven Value Changes (“IXM”) within your earnings release. Your adjustments to exclude certain market-driven value changes presents income on an alternative basis. These adjustments appear to be inconsistent with Question 100.04 of the Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations on the use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Specifically, changing the income recognition and measurement principles required to be applied in accordance with GAAP is considered to be an individually tailored measurement principle. Please revise your non-GAAP measure to eliminate the presentation of IXM. This comment also applies to your Earnings Call Presentation.

 

Response:

 

The Company acknowledges the Staff’s comment and confirms that it will eliminate the presentation of IXM in future filings, including the Company’s quarterly Earnings Call Presentation.
