Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 Selected Financial Data, page 38 1. We note your disclosure in footnote 2 on page 40 that you recognized a gain of $86.6 million on the reduction of tax receivable agreement obligation during 2017 as a result of the 2017 Tax Act, which is included in the "Other, net" line item of your total revenues. We also note that you included a gain on sale of Bondpoint of $337.6 million in your "Other, net" line item of your total revenues during 2018. Please tell us why, with reference to authoritative literature, you believe it is appropriate to reflect each of these gains as components of your total revenues instead of in other financial statement line items (such as a Non-Operating Income line item) on the income statement.
