[1] | Cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and other pension and postretirement income include the impact of the Accounting Standards Update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board which amended the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs to report certain components, including interest cost, expected return on the plan assets, amortization of prior service cost or credits and actuarial gains and losses, separately. For 2017 these items have been reclassified from cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses to other pension and postretirement income.
