We adopted the new ASU on lease accounting as of January 1, 2019. The ASU revises the accounting for onerous leases such that any onerous lease liability should be netted with the right of use asset. Therefore, we reclassified $23 million onerous lease liability as of March 31, 2019 from accrued liabilities and other accrued liabilities to operating lease right of use assets.

Schedule of Restructuring and Implementation Costs by Segment In connection with our restructuring program, we recorded non-cash property, plant and equipment write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings within asset impairment and exit costs and within the segment results as follows (refer to Note 8, Restructuring Program).
