We have presented our Industrial operating profit excluding gains, non-operating pension costs, restructuring and other charges, and noncontrolling interests. We believe that Industrial operating profit adjusted for these items is a meaningful measure because it increases the comparability of period-to-period results.

Industrial Structural Costs

Industrial structural costs include segment structural costs excluding the impact of business acquisitions and dispositions, plus total Corporate operating profit excluding non-operating pension costs, restructuring and other charges and gains. To establish a consistent baseline, the 2016 amount excluded Appliances (which the Company sold in the second quarter of 2016), and the 2017 amount will exclude significant transactions such as Baker Hughes, LM Wind Power, and additive manufacturing (Arcam & Concept Laser).

We believe that Industrial structural costs are a meaningful measure as they are broader than selling, general and administrative costs and represent the total structural costs in the Industrial segments and Corporate that generally do not vary with volume.
