The sales information noted above relates to external customers only. All intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation. For the three months ended 31 December 2018 and 2017, the Industrial Gases – Global segment had intersegment sales of $68.6 and $61.9, respectively. These sales are generally transacted at market pricing.
We generally do not have intersegment sales from our regional industrial gases businesses. Equipment manufactured for our industrial gases segments is generally transferred at cost and not reflected as an intersegment sale.
Changes in estimates on projects accounted for under the cost incurred input method are recognized as a cumulative adjustment for the inception-to-date effect of such change. Changes in estimates favorably impacted operating income by approximately $10 for the three months ended 31 December 2018. Changes in estimates during the three months ended 31 December 2017 did not have a material impact to operating income.
