ITEM 8.01    OTHER EVENTS
As disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018, The Procter and Gamble Company (“the Company”, “we”) adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (Topic 715)” effective July 1, 2018. Topic 715 requires an entity to disaggregate the current service cost component from the other components of net defined benefit costs on the face of the income statement. It requires the service cost component to be presented with other current compensation costs for the related employees in the operating section of the income statement. Other components of net benefit costs are required to be presented outside of income from operations. The Company has adopted ASU 2017-07 retrospectively. As such, prior periods’ results have been revised to report the other components of net benefit costs, previously reported in Cost of products sold and Selling, general, and administrative expense (SG&A), within Other non-operating income/(expense), net.
In addition, as disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230)” effective July 1, 2018. Topic 230 requires the Statement of Cash Flows to present changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. Prior to the adoption of this ASU, the relevant accounting guidance did not require the Statement of Cash Flows to include changes in restricted cash. We adopted this change retrospectively. We currently have no significant restricted cash balances. Historically, we had restricted



cash balances and changes related to divestiture activity. Such balances were presented as Current assets held for sale on the balance sheets, with changes presented as investing activities on the statements of cash flow. Under Topic 230, such balances are included in the beginning and ending balances of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash on the statement of cash flows for all periods presented.
In this Form 8-K, the Company is providing revised Selected Financial Data, a revised Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) and revised Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the years ended June 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016 to revise the disclosures for those periods to reflect the accounting changes described above. The revised Selected Financial Data, MD&A and Consolidated Financial Statements otherwise continue to speak as of the date of the filing of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 (the “2018 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and have not been updated for events or developments that occurred subsequent to such filing.  For developments since the filing of the 2018 10-K, please refer to the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 and the Company's Forms 8-K filed since August 7, 2018, the filing date of the 2018 Form 10-K.
