On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2017-07, which impacted the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit cost in the consolidated statements of income. Net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, was retrospectively reclassified to "Sundry income (expense) - net" in the consolidated statements of income. See Notes 1 and 2 for additional information.
