The Company spent $45 million on selling, general, and administrative expenses in Q4 FY17 compared to $46 million in Q4 FY16. The Company's operating income came in at $62 million in the reported quarter versus $59 million in the prior year's comparable quarter.

Furthermore, the Company reported an adjusted EBITDA of $83 million, or 7.4% of revenues, in Q4 FY17 compared to $71 million, or 6.9% of revenues, in Q4 FY16.
