1As a result of our first quarter 2018 adoption of ASU 2017-07 (see Note 1 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” under the caption New Accounting Standards), gross profit was reduced by $7.0 million and $11.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We have not revised years prior to 2016 as the impact is deemed as immaterial.
2Earnings from continuing operations for 2017 include pretax interest charges of $153.1 million referable to debt purchases and $297.0 million of discrete net tax benefits. Earnings from continuing operations for 2014 include a pretax gain of $211.4 million referable to the sale of our Florida cement and concrete businesses.
3Discontinued operations include the results attributable to our former Chemicals business.
