OTHER CHANGES IMPACTING HISTORICAL RESULTS
Consolidated Statements of Income
With our adoption of ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" (ASU 2017-07), our consolidated statements of income have been adjusted to remove certain components of our net periodic benefit cost from our consolidated operating expenses and include those amounts in "other income (expense) – net." For segment reporting, we continue to include service cost and amortization of net prior service credits in segment operating results as this is the basis on which we analyze our segment results. While operating income is impacted by this standard change, net income and earnings per share are not impacted. The following table summarizes the increase (decrease) on our consolidated income statement.

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
With our adoption of ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" (ASU 2016-15), our previously reported consolidated statements of cash flows have been adjusted to remove any additional cash received for installment receivables (i.e., AT&T Next) sold to the banks from operating activities and to include those receipts as cash from investing activities. We will continue to record cash received from the banks at the time of sale as cash from operating activities. Modifications made to our securitization program in 2017 should moderate the ongoing impact of ASU 2016-15 as we collect more cash upfront when installment receivables are sold to the banks. The following table summarizes the impact to cash from operations and cash from investing:
