The revised 2018 guidance ranges provided above reflect the following updated estimates and assumptions:
- U.S. mortgage loan origination unit volumes expected to decline approximately 10% to 15% from 2017 levels.
- A full-year net benefit of approximately $20 million attributable to accelerated revenue recognition resulting from the amendment of a long-term contract discussed earlier. This benefit is expected to be partially offset by increased research and development costs of approximately $5 to $10 million related to the enhancement of the Company’s data visualization and solutions delivery capabilities.
