Item 8.01    Other Events.

During the fourth quarter of 2017, Quidel Corporation (the “Company”) recast its presentation of the components of revenue to reflect management’s revised reporting structure of its product categories: Rapid Immunoassay, Cardiac Immunoassay, Specialized Diagnostic Solutions, and Molecular Diagnostic Solutions. The QuickVue®, Sofia® and Eye Health revenues will be reported within the Company's Rapid Immunoassay category. The revenues of the recently acquired Triage and BNP Businesses will be reported within the Company's Cardiac Immunoassay category. Quidel's Thyretain® and Diagnostic Hybrids, or DHI, revenues and the Specialty Products Group, or SPG, businesses as well as other revenues (including grant and royalty) will be reported in the Company's Specialized Diagnostics category. The revenues of Solana®, AmpliVue® and Lyra® products will be reported in the Company's Molecular Diagnostics category.

As a result of the above noted changes to the presentation of the components of revenue, the following unaudited table provides historical quarterly revenues by product category for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 (in thousands):
