The sum of the quarterly EPS does not equal the annual EPS due to changes in the weighted-average shares between periods. Other amounts may not equal the annual total due to rounding between periods.
 
The comparability of our quarterly financial results during 2018 and 2017 was impacted by certain events, as follows:

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded $326.2 million in pre-tax expenses related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident. In addition, we recorded a charge for the realignment of resources and other costs of $46.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded $114.0 million in pretax expenses related to the 2017 cybersecurity incident. In addition, as a result of the Tax Act the company recorded preliminary adjustments totaling a net tax benefit of $48.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.
