During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we elected to reclassify the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Act related to employee retirement plans from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. See Note 1, “Significant Accounting Polices,” for additional information regarding the adoption of ASU 2018-02.
Reclassifications for the amortization of the employee retirement plans are included in “Other income – net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
