Key competitive differentiators for GBS include its global scale, depth of industry expertise, strong partnerships with leading technology companies, vendor and product independence and end-to-end capabilities. Changing business issues such as globalization, fast-developing economies, government regulation, and growing concerns around risk, security, and compliance drive demand for these GBS offerings.

Global Infrastructure Services (GIS) – GIS provides managed and virtual desktop solutions, unified communications and collaboration services, data center management, cloud services, cyber security, compute and managed storage solutions to commercial clients globally. GIS also delivers next-generation hybrid Cloud infrastructure solutions to clients.

The GIS portfolio of standard offerings delivers measurable results while reducing business risk and operational costs for clients. Collaboration with key alliance partners helps CSC to determine the best technology road map for clients and opportunities to differentiate solutions, expand market reach, augment capabilities, and jointly deliver impactful solutions.

North American Public Sector (NPS) – NPS delivers IT, mission, and operations-related services to the Department of Defense and civil agencies of the U.S. federal government, as well as other foreign, state and local government agencies. Commensurate with the Company's strategy of leading the next generation of IT services, NPS is leveraging our commercial best practices and next-generation offerings to bring more cost-effective IT solutions to government agencies which are seeking efficiency through innovation. This approach is designed to yield lower implementation and operational costs as well as a higher standard of delivery excellence.

Effective fiscal 2015, the Company changed its inter-company accounting policy. Previously, inter-company transactions were generally reflected as inter-company revenue. Under the new policy, inter-company transactions are now generally treated as cost transfers. The new inter-company policy has been applied retrospectively, adjusting the segment results for all prior periods presented (see Note 1). In addition, segment results for all prior periods presented have been recast to reflect the change in the Company's pension accounting policies (see Note 2).

Operating income (loss) provides useful information to the Company’s management for assessment of the Company’s performance and results of operations, and is one of the financial measures utilized to determine executive compensation. As mentioned in Note 2, in conjunction with the change in its pension accounting policies, the net actuarial gains and losses component of the net periodic pension benefit/cost are excluded from the Company’s definition of operating income and not allocated to the reportable segments, but instead recorded at the corporate level. All of the other elements of net periodic pension benefit/cost continue to be included within operating income of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company has applied the change in the allocation approach retrospectively, adjusting all prior periods.

A reconciliation of consolidated operating income to income from continuing operations before taxes is as follows:

(1) The impact of the change in pension accounting policy was an increase in operating income of $208 million and $251 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2015, respectively, and an increase in operating income of $22 million and $68 million for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2014, respectively.
(2) This item relates to the SEC investigation settlement (see Note 5).

During the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, the Company recorded certain pre-tax out of period adjustments which should have been recorded in prior fiscal periods (see Note 5). The following tables summarize the effect of the pre-tax out of period adjustments on the GBS, GIS, and NPS segment results for the quarters and nine months ended January 2, 2015 and December 27, 2013, as if the adjustments had been recorded in the appropriate period:
