In the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company is adopting Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2017-07, which requires the Company to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line items in which it reports compensation cost.

The Company is furnishing with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2 certain historical unaudited financial information that has been recast for this ASU. This recast financial information is provided to ensure comparability and has no impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), balance sheets, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows. The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.2, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liabilities under that section and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
