GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation For 2016 5For the third quarter of 2015, the company recorded a benefit from the release of an uncertain tax position related to research and development credits, which were effectively settled. For the third quarter of 2016, the company no longer considers certain positions to be effectively settled and therefore recorded a related increase in unrecognized tax benefits.
