In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in the consolidated statements of income if the amount being reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. As the result, the Company has adjusted its AOCI presentation prospectively, as required, and therefore additional table was included to present the required information for the current period and the presentation has changed from historical periods.
The table below presents the other comprehensive income (loss) before reclassifications and amounts reclassified from AOCI for each component of OCI before- and after-tax (dollars in millions):
