Pension Presentation

Results for this year reflect the new accounting standard related to the presentation of retirement benefits, which impacted reported and adjusted 2017 operating income and margin. The effect of this new standard resulted in a shift of $4.7 million of retirement plan income from fourth quarter 2017 SG&A expense to other income, net. For fiscal 2017, this amount was $12.3 million. There was no impact to net earnings or earnings per share for the fourth quarter or for fiscal 2017, due to the adoption of this standard.
