(1)
Effective at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2019, in connection with the adoption of the accounting standards update for retirement benefits (Topic 715), the Company reclassified its non-service net periodic benefit credit from operating expense to other income and expense in its Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The Company reflected these changes retrospectively, by transferring the non-service net periodic benefit credit, a portion of which was previously allocated to the segments, and the remainder of which was reported within Unallocated corporate costs and eliminations, Restructuring charges, Transformation costs, Separation costs and Defined benefit plan remeasurement benefit.
(2)
Includes acquisition, disposition and other related charges of $7 million related to a non-cash inventory fair value adjustment in connection with the acquisition of Cray Inc., which was included in Cost of products.
