1 Beginning in 2021, the Company reports adjusted earnings per diluted share excluding amortization expense relating to intangible assets from completed acquisitions. Adjusted earnings per diluted share for 2020 has been recast to exclude acquisition-related amortization expense. For detailed information regarding these adjustments, see the Regulation G Reconciliation in Item 7 of our 2021 Form 10-K.
