Key Financial Metrics
The provided text is a cover sheet and does not contain specific financial data points.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Review Exhibit 99.1 (Press Release dated May 2, 2017) for actual Q1 2017 revenue, net income, and cash flow figures.
- Examine the "Q2 2017 Outlook" section in the press release for forward-looking guidance, noting it is not incorporated into registration statements.
- Verify the company's liquidity position and debt levels in the full press release, as these are absent from the Form 6-K cover sheet.
- Confirm the impact of the exclusion of the outlook section on the company's active registration statements (Forms S-8 and F-3).
