Item 8.01. Other Events

As disclosed in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2018, effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" ("ASU 2017-07"). ASU 2017-07 requires entities to bifurcate the components of net benefit expense between those that are attributed to compensation for service and those that are not. The service cost component of benefit expense continues to be presented within operating income, but entities are now required to present the other components of benefit expense as non-operating within the income statement. Additionally, ASU 2017-07 only permits the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit expense. The accounting change is required to be applied on a retrospective basis for the presentation of components of net benefit cost and on a prospective basis for the capitalization of only the service cost component of net benefit costs. The Company has presented the elements of net periodic benefit costs in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income in accordance with ASU 2017-07.

The following items of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been recast to reflect the previously described implementation of ASU 2017-07 and are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference:

Exhibit 99.01
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
Exhibit 101.INS - XBRL Instance Document
Exhibit 101.SCH - XBRL Taxonomy Schema Document
Exhibit 101.PRE - XBRL Taxonomy Presentation Linkbase Document
Exhibit 101.LAB - XBRL Taxonomy Label Linkable Document
Exhibit 101.CAL - XBRL Taxonomy Calculation Linkbase Document
Exhibit 101.DEF - XBRL Definition Linkbase Document

The implementation of ASU 2017-07 reflected in the recast financial statements had no effect on the Company's net income for any period. The recast items of the Form 10-K described above have been updated only for the aforementioned implementation of ASU 2017-07. The Company has not otherwise updated for activities or events occurring after the date these items were originally presented. This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with our Form 10-K (except for Items 6, 7 and 8, which are included in this Current Report on Form 8-K) and our other periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K.
