A summary of quarterly operations (in thousands, except per share amounts) for 2018 and 2017 follows:

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2017-07, which resulted in the reclassification of the non-service cost component of pension and other postretirement benefit costs from utility other operating expenses to other expense (income) - net on the Consolidated Statements of Income. There was no impact on net income. The Company reclassified $2.0 million, $1.8 million, $1.9 million and $2.0 million for the first through fourth quarters of 2017, respectively. See Note 2 for further discussion of the adoption of ASU No. 2017-07.
