Included in the compensation and fringe benefits rate reconciliation is the impact of the Company's early adoption, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 on a modified retrospective basis, of ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under this standard, all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to exercises of stock options are recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur.
