Increases in deferred compensation obligations, which are recorded in SG&A, are substantially offset by corresponding gains related to changes in the cash surrender value of corporate-owned life insurance ("COLI") for deferred compensation plan participants as a result of changes in market performance of the underlying investments; therefore, the net impact to net income and earnings per share is de minimis.
