Accounting Standards Updates
In the first quarter of 2018, the Company will adopt the following accounting standards updates (“ASUs”):

ASU 2014-09: Revenue from contracts with customers ("Revenue Recognition")
ASU 2017-07: Improving the Presentation of net Periodic Pension Cost and net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost ("Pension")
ASU 2016-15: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Payments ("Cash Flow")

The Pension and Cash Flow ASUs are required to be adopted on a retrospective basis and the Company elected to adopt the Revenue Recognition ASU on a full retrospective basis. As a result, the Company will recast its historical financial statements and related disclosures to reflect these changes.

Product Transfer between Reportable Segments
The Company has decided to transfer certain stock-keeping units (SKUs) from the U.S. Morning Foods reporting segment, and to the U.S. Snacks reporting segment, to align their sales with their infrastructure and change in accountability.

For informational purposes only, the Company is furnishing certain unaudited financial information in the attached Exhibit 99.1 reflecting the expected impact of the adoption of these ASUs and the changes in our reportable segments for the periods presented.
