Summary
Dominion Energy, Inc. (D), along with its subsidiaries Virginia Electric and Power Company and Dominion Energy Gas Holdings, LLC, filed this Form 8-K to retrospectively recast certain previously reported financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. The primary driver for this restatement is the adoption of revised accounting guidance related to net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs, restricted cash and equivalents, and distributions from equity method investees, effective January 1, 2018. Crucially, the company states that these accounting changes had no impact on net income for any reported period. The recast information, primarily affecting the presentation within the consolidated statements of income and cash flows, is being provided as exhibits to this filing. Investors should note that this filing does not reflect any new operational activities or events occurring after the original reporting dates, but rather a reclassification of previously reported data due to accounting standard updates.
