See the Glossary of Defined Terms at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP can be condensed or omitted.

The financial information included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for subsidiaries operating outside the U.S. is as of and for the three months ended February 26, 2017 and February 28, 2016. The financial information included in our condensed consolidated financial statements for U.S. subsidiaries is as of and for the three months ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016.

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year.

We are responsible for the unaudited financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The interim financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair statement of our condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of income. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2016 Form 10-K.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In the fourth quarter of 2016, we adopted a new accounting standard for certain elements of the accounting for share-based payments as of January 1, 2016. Specifically, the new standard requires excess tax benefits or deficiencies (including tax benefits of dividend equivalents) of share-based compensation to be recognized as a component of the Provision for taxes on income, whereas excess tax benefits or deficiencies previously were recognized in Additional paid-in capital. The net tax benefit for the Company was $22 million for the first quarter of 2016. Also, in the diluted net earnings per share calculation, when applying the treasury stock method for shares that could be repurchased, the assumed proceeds no longer include the amount of excess tax benefit.
Another element of the new accounting standard requires that we now present excess tax benefits as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flow. We elected to adopt this presentation on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2016. Additionally, cash paid by us when directly withholding shares for tax-withholding purposes is now a cash outflow from financing activities. This reclassification was required to be adopted retrospectively. As a result, $26 million of cash outflows for the first quarter of 2016 was reclassified from operating activities to financing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. For additional information, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements––Note 1B. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies: Adoption of New Accounting Standards included in our 2016 Financial Report.

We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2017 that amended guidance on the assessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. Under this new guidance, when evaluating whether an entity is the primary beneficiary, a single decision maker must consider its indirect interest held through related parties under common control proportionately. There was no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard.

We adopted a new standard as of January 1, 2017 related to inventory. The new guidance requires that inventory be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. There was no material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements from adopting this standard.
