New Accounting Principles Adopted

On October 1, 2016, the Company prospectively adopted amended requirements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") relating to the timing of recognition and classification of share-based compensation award-related income tax effects. Upon the settlement of awards in the first three quarters of fiscal year 2017, the Company recorded tax benefits for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 of $12 million and $60 million, respectively, to Income tax provision (benefit) within its consolidated statement of income. The Company expects to record additional tax benefits in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017. These tax benefits were recorded within Capital in excess of par value on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet in the prior-year period. Because these excess tax benefits are no longer recorded in Capital in excess of par value, the current year-to-date adjustment for the dilutive impact of share equivalents from share-based plans, which is used in the Company's computation of diluted earnings per share, increased by approximately 1 million shares. Also per the amended guidance, the Company classified the $60 million of excess tax benefits for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 on its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows within Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, rather than Net Cash Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities, which included the excess tax benefits for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.
