the following table summarizes the changes in the company 2019s valuation allowance: . balance at january 1 2010 | $ 25621 ----------------------------------------- | -------------- increases in current period tax positions | 907 decreases in current period tax positions | -2740 ( 2740 ) balance at december 31 2010 | $ 23788 increases in current period tax positions | 1525 decreases in current period tax positions | -3734 ( 3734 ) balance at december 31 2011 | $ 21579 increases in current period tax positions | 0 decreases in current period tax positions | -2059 ( 2059 ) balance at december 31 2012 | $ 19520 note 14 : employee benefits pension and other postretirement benefits the company maintains noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering eligible employees of its regulated utility and shared services operations . benefits under the plans are based on the employee 2019s years of service and compensation . the pension plans have been closed for most employees hired on or after january 1 , 2006 . union employees hired on or after january 1 , 2001 had their accrued benefit frozen and will be able to receive this benefit as a lump sum upon termination or retirement . union employees hired on or after january 1 , 2001 and non-union employees hired on or after january 1 , 2006 are provided with a 5.25% ( 5.25 % ) of base pay defined contribution plan . the company does not participate in a multiemployer plan . the company 2019s funding policy is to contribute at least the greater of the minimum amount required by the employee retirement income security act of 1974 or the normal cost , and an additional contribution if needed to avoid 201cat risk 201d status and benefit restrictions under the pension protection act of 2006 . the company may also increase its contributions , if appropriate , to its tax and cash position and the plan 2019s funded position . pension plan assets are invested in a number of actively managed and indexed investments including equity and bond mutual funds , fixed income securities and guaranteed interest contracts with insurance companies . pension expense in excess of the amount contributed to the pension plans is deferred by certain regulated subsidiaries pending future recovery in rates charged for utility services as contributions are made to the plans . ( see note 6 ) the company also has several unfunded noncontributory supplemental non-qualified pension plans that provide additional retirement benefits to certain employees . the company maintains other postretirement benefit plans providing varying levels of medical and life insurance to eligible retirees . the retiree welfare plans are closed for union employees hired on or after january 1 , 2006 . the plans had previously closed for non-union employees hired on or after january 1 , 2002 . the company 2019s policy is to fund other postretirement benefit costs for rate-making purposes . plan assets are invested in equity and bond mutual funds , fixed income securities , real estate investment trusts ( 201creits 201d ) and emerging market funds . the obligations of the plans are dominated by obligations for active employees . because the timing of expected benefit payments is so far in the future and the size of the plan assets are small relative to the company 2019s assets , the investment strategy is to allocate a significant percentage of assets to equities , which the company believes will provide the highest return over the long-term period . the fixed income assets are invested in long duration debt securities and may be invested in fixed income instruments , such as futures and options in order to better match the duration of the plan liability.

note 12 2013 stock-based compensation during 2013 , 2012 , and 2011 , we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense totaling $ 189 million , $ 167 million , and $ 157 million , which is included as a component of other unallocated costs on our statements of earnings . the net impact to earnings for the respective years was $ 122 million , $ 108 million , and $ 101 million . as of december 31 , 2013 , we had $ 132 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years . we received cash from the exercise of stock options totaling $ 827 million , $ 440 million , and $ 116 million during 2013 , 2012 , and 2011 . in addition , our income tax liabilities for 2013 , 2012 , and 2011 were reduced by $ 158 million , $ 96 million , and $ 56 million due to recognized tax benefits on stock-based compensation arrangements . stock-based compensation plans under plans approved by our stockholders , we are authorized to grant key employees stock-based incentive awards , including options to purchase common stock , stock appreciation rights , restricted stock units ( rsus ) , performance stock units ( psus ) , or other stock units . the exercise price of options to purchase common stock may not be less than the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant . no award of stock options may become fully vested prior to the third anniversary of the grant , and no portion of a stock option grant may become vested in less than one year . the minimum vesting period for restricted stock or stock units payable in stock is three years . award agreements may provide for shorter or pro-rated vesting periods or vesting following termination of employment in the case of death , disability , divestiture , retirement , change of control , or layoff . the maximum term of a stock option or any other award is 10 years . at december 31 , 2013 , inclusive of the shares reserved for outstanding stock options , rsus and psus , we had 20.4 million shares reserved for issuance under the plans . at december 31 , 2013 , 4.7 million of the shares reserved for issuance remained available for grant under our stock-based compensation plans . we issue new shares upon the exercise of stock options or when restrictions on rsus and psus have been satisfied . the following table summarizes activity related to nonvested rsus during 2013 : number of rsus ( in thousands ) weighted average grant-date fair value per share . | number of rsus ( in thousands ) | weighted average grant-date fair value pershare ----------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- nonvested at december 31 2012 | 4822 | $ 79.10 granted | 1356 | 89.24 vested | -2093 ( 2093 ) | 79.26 forfeited | -226 ( 226 ) | 81.74 nonvested at december 31 2013 | 3859 | $ 82.42 rsus are valued based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant . employees who are granted rsus receive the right to receive shares of stock after completion of the vesting period , however , the shares are not issued , and the employees cannot sell or transfer shares prior to vesting and have no voting rights until the rsus vest , generally three years from the date of the award . employees who are granted rsus receive dividend-equivalent cash payments only upon vesting . for these rsu awards , the grant-date fair value is equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant less a discount to reflect the delay in payment of dividend-equivalent cash payments . we recognize the grant-date fair value of rsus , less estimated forfeitures , as compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period , which beginning with the rsus granted in 2013 is shorter than the vesting period if the employee is retirement eligible on the date of grant or will become retirement eligible before the end of the vesting period . stock options we generally recognize compensation cost for stock options ratably over the three-year vesting period . at december 31 , 2013 and 2012 , there were 10.2 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 83.65 ) and 20.6 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 83.15 ) stock options outstanding . stock options outstanding at december 31 , 2013 have a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately five years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $ 663 million , and we expect nearly all of these stock options to vest . of the stock options outstanding , 7.7 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 84.37 ) have vested as of december 31 , 2013 and those stock options have a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately four years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $ 497 million . there were 10.1 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 82.72 ) stock options exercised during 2013 . we did not grant stock options to employees during 2013.

the following table shows the impact of catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums and the impact of prior period development on our consolidated loss and loss expense ratio for the periods indicated. . | 2010 | 2009 | 2008 ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- loss and loss expense ratio as reported | 59.2% ( 59.2 % ) | 58.8% ( 58.8 % ) | 60.6% ( 60.6 % ) catastrophe losses and related reinstatement premiums | ( 3.2 ) % ( % ) | ( 1.2 ) % ( % ) | ( 4.7 ) % ( % ) prior period development | 4.6% ( 4.6 % ) | 4.9% ( 4.9 % ) | 6.8% ( 6.8 % ) large assumed loss portfolio transfers | ( 0.3 ) % ( % ) | ( 0.8 ) % ( % ) | 0.0% ( 0.0 % ) loss and loss expense ratio adjusted | 60.3% ( 60.3 % ) | 61.7% ( 61.7 % ) | 62.7% ( 62.7 % ) we recorded net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $ 366 million in 2010 compared with net pre-tax catastrophe losses of $ 137 million and $ 567 million in 2009 and 2008 , respectively . the catastrophe losses for 2010 were primarily related to weather- related events in the u.s. , earthquakes in chile , mexico , and new zealand , and storms in australia and europe . the catastrophe losses for 2009 were primarily related to an earthquake in asia , floods in europe , several weather-related events in the u.s. , and a european windstorm . for 2008 , the catastrophe losses were primarily related to hurricanes gustav and ike . prior period development arises from changes to loss estimates recognized in the current year that relate to loss reserves first reported in previous calendar years and excludes the effect of losses from the development of earned premium from pre- vious accident years . we experienced $ 503 million of net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments in 2010 . this compares with net favorable prior period development in our p&c segments of $ 576 million and $ 814 million in 2009 and 2008 , respectively . refer to 201cprior period development 201d for more information . the adjusted loss and loss expense ratio declined in 2010 , compared with 2009 , primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements , non-recurring premium adjustment and the reduction in assumed loss portfolio business , which is written at higher loss ratios than other types of business . our policy acquisition costs include commissions , premium taxes , underwriting , and other costs that vary with , and are primarily related to , the production of premium . administrative expenses include all other operating costs . our policy acquis- ition cost ratio increased in 2010 , compared with 2009 . the increase was primarily related to the impact of crop settlements , which generated higher profit-share commissions and a lower adjustment to net premiums earned , as well as the impact of reinstatement premiums expensed in connection with catastrophe activity and changes in business mix . our administrative expense ratio increased in 2010 , primarily due to the impact of the crop settlements , reinstatement premiums expensed , and increased costs in our international operations . although the crop settlements generate minimal administrative expenses , they resulted in lower adjustment to net premiums earned in 2010 , compared with 2009 . administrative expenses in 2010 , were partially offset by higher net results generated by our third party claims administration business , esis , the results of which are included within our administrative expenses . esis generated $ 85 million in net results in 2010 , compared with $ 26 million in 2009 . the increase is primarily from non-recurring sources . our policy acquisition cost ratio was stable in 2009 , compared with 2008 , as increases in our combined insurance operations were offset by more favorable final crop year settlement of profit share commissions . administrative expenses increased in 2009 , primarily due to the inclusion of administrative expenses related to combined insurance for the full year and costs associated with new product expansion in our domestic retail operation and in our personal lines business . our effective income tax rate , which we calculate as income tax expense divided by income before income tax , is depend- ent upon the mix of earnings from different jurisdictions with various tax rates . a change in the geographic mix of earnings would change the effective income tax rate . our effective income tax rate was 15 percent in 2010 , compared with 17 percent and 24 percent in 2009 and 2008 , respectively . the decrease in our effective income tax rate in 2010 , was primarily due to a change in the mix of earnings to lower tax-paying jurisdictions , a decrease in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits which was the result of a settlement with the u.s . internal revenue service appeals division regarding federal tax returns for the years 2002-2004 , and the recognition of a non-taxable gain related to the acquisition of rain and hail . the 2009 year included a reduction of a deferred tax valuation allowance related to investments . for 2008 , our effective income tax rate was adversely impacted by a change in mix of earnings due to the impact of catastrophe losses in lower tax-paying jurisdictions . prior period development the favorable prior period development , inclusive of the life segment , of $ 512 million during 2010 was the net result of sev- eral underlying favorable and adverse movements . with respect to ace 2019s crop business , ace regularly receives reports from its managing general agent ( mga ) relating to the previous crop year ( s ) in subsequent calendar quarters and this typically results

item 7 . management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations we are an international energy company with operations in the u.s. , canada , africa , the middle east and europe . our operations are organized into three reportable segments : 2022 e&p which explores for , produces and markets liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas on a worldwide basis . 2022 osm which mines , extracts and transports bitumen from oil sands deposits in alberta , canada , and upgrades the bitumen to produce and market synthetic crude oil and vacuum gas oil . 2022 ig which produces and markets products manufactured from natural gas , such as lng and methanol , in e.g . certain sections of management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations include forward- looking statements concerning trends or events potentially affecting our business . these statements typically contain words such as "anticipates" "believes" "estimates" "expects" "targets" "plans" "projects" "could" "may" "should" "would" or similar words indicating that future outcomes are uncertain . in accordance with "safe harbor" provisions of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995 , these statements are accompanied by cautionary language identifying important factors , though not necessarily all such factors , which could cause future outcomes to differ materially from those set forth in forward-looking statements . for additional risk factors affecting our business , see item 1a . risk factors in this annual report on form 10-k . management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information under item 1 . business , item 1a . risk factors and item 8 . financial statements and supplementary data found in this annual report on form 10-k . spin-off downstream business on june 30 , 2011 , the spin-off of marathon 2019s downstream business was completed , creating two independent energy companies : marathon oil and mpc . marathon stockholders at the close of business on the record date of june 27 , 2011 received one share of mpc common stock for every two shares of marathon common stock held . a private letter tax ruling received in june 2011 from the irs affirmed the tax-free nature of the spin-off . activities related to the downstream business have been treated as discontinued operations in 2011 and 2010 ( see item 8 . financial statements and supplementary data 2013 note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information ) . overview 2013 market conditions exploration and production prevailing prices for the various grades of crude oil and natural gas that we produce significantly impact our revenues and cash flows . the following table lists benchmark crude oil and natural gas price annual averages for the past three years. . benchmark | 2012 | 2011 | 2010 ------------------------------------------------- | -------- | -------- | ------- wti crude oil ( dollars per bbl ) | $ 94.15 | $ 95.11 | $ 79.61 brent ( europe ) crude oil ( dollars per bbl ) | $ 111.65 | $ 111.26 | $ 79.51 henry hub natural gas ( dollars per mmbtu ) ( a ) | $ 2.79 | $ 4.04 | $ 4.39 henry hub natural gas ( dollars per mmbtu ) ( a ) $ 2.79 $ 4.04 $ 4.39 ( a ) settlement date average . liquid hydrocarbon 2013 prices of crude oil have been volatile in recent years , but less so when comparing annual averages for 2012 and 2011 . in 2011 , crude prices increased over 2010 levels , with increases in brent averages outstripping those in wti . the quality , location and composition of our liquid hydrocarbon production mix will cause our u.s . liquid hydrocarbon realizations to differ from the wti benchmark . in 2012 , 2011 and 2010 , the percentage of our u.s . crude oil and condensate production that was sour averaged 37 percent , 58 percent and 68 percent . sour crude contains more sulfur and tends to be heavier than light sweet crude oil so that refining it is more costly and produces lower value products ; therefore , sour crude is considered of lower quality and typically sells at a discount to wti . the percentage of our u.s . crude and condensate production that is sour has been decreasing as onshore production from the eagle ford and bakken shale plays increases and production from the gulf of mexico declines . in recent years , crude oil sold along the u.s . gulf coast has been priced at a premium to wti because the louisiana light sweet benchmark has been tracking brent , while production from inland areas farther from large refineries has been at a discount to wti . ngls were 10 percent , 7 percent and 6 percent of our u.s . liquid hydrocarbon sales in 2012 , 2011 and 2010 . in 2012 , our sales of ngls increased due to our development of u.s . unconventional liquids-rich plays.

for marketing . there are several methods that can be used to determine the estimated fair value of the ipr&d acquired in a business combination . we utilized the 201cincome method , 201d which applies a probability weighting to the estimated future net cash fl ows that are derived from projected sales revenues and estimated costs . these projec- tions are based on factors such as relevant market size , patent protection , historical pricing of similar products , and expected industry trends . the estimated future net cash fl ows are then discounted to the present value using an appropriate discount rate . this analysis is performed for each project independently . in accordance with fin 4 , applicability of fasb statement no . 2 to business combinations accounted for by the purchase method , these acquired ipr&d intangible assets totaling $ 4.71 billion and $ 340.5 million in 2008 and 2007 , respectively , were expensed immediately subsequent to the acquisition because the products had no alternative future use . the ongoing activities with respect to each of these products in development are not material to our research and development expenses . in addition to the acquisitions of businesses , we also acquired several products in development . the acquired ipr&d related to these products of $ 122.0 million and $ 405.1 million in 2008 and 2007 , respectively , was also writ- ten off by a charge to income immediately upon acquisition because the products had no alternative future use . imclone acquisition on november 24 , 2008 , we acquired all of the outstanding shares of imclone systems inc . ( imclone ) , a biopharma- ceutical company focused on advancing oncology care , for a total purchase price of approximately $ 6.5 billion , which was fi nanced through borrowings . this strategic combination will offer both targeted therapies and oncolytic agents along with a pipeline spanning all phases of clinical development . the combination also expands our bio- technology capabilities . the acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination under the purchase method of accounting , resulting in goodwill of $ 419.5 million . no portion of this goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes . allocation of purchase price we are currently determining the fair values of a signifi cant portion of these net assets . the purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on an estimate of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition . the fi nal determination of these fair values will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the acquisition date . although the fi nal determination may result in asset and liability fair values that are different than the preliminary estimates of these amounts included herein , it is not expected that those differences will be material to our fi nancial results . estimated fair value at november 24 , 2008 . cash and short-term investments | $ 982.9 -------------------------------------------- | ---------------- inventories | 136.2 developed product technology ( erbitux ) 1 | 1057.9 goodwill | 419.5 property and equipment | 339.8 debt assumed | -600.0 ( 600.0 ) deferred taxes | -315.0 ( 315.0 ) deferred income | -127.7 ( 127.7 ) other assets and liabilities 2014 net | -72.1 ( 72.1 ) acquired in-process research and development | 4685.4 total purchase price | $ 6506.9 1this intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis through 2023 in the u.s . and 2018 in the rest of the world . all of the estimated fair value of the acquired ipr&d is attributable to oncology-related products in develop- ment , including $ 1.33 billion to line extensions for erbitux . a signifi cant portion ( 81 percent ) of the remaining value of acquired ipr&d is attributable to two compounds in phase iii clinical testing and one compound in phase ii clini- cal testing , all targeted to treat various forms of cancers . the discount rate we used in valuing the acquired ipr&d projects was 13.5 percent , and the charge for acquired ipr&d of $ 4.69 billion recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 , was not deductible for tax purposes . pro forma financial information the following unaudited pro forma fi nancial information presents the combined results of our operations with

however , reduced construction and development activities have resulted in a greater amount of overhead being charged to general and administrative expense instead of being capitalized into development projects or charged to service operations . other income and expenses gain on sale of land and depreciable property dispositions , net of impairment adjustment , is comprised of the following amounts in 2002 and 2001 : gain on sales of depreciable properties represent sales of previously held for investment rental properties . beginning in 2000 and continuing into 2001 , the company pursued favorable opportunities to dispose of real estate assets that no longer met long-term investment objectives . in 2002 , the company significantly reduced this property sales program until the business climate improves and provides better investment opportunities for the sale proceeds . gain on land sales represents sales of undeveloped land owned by the company . the company pursues opportunities to dispose of land in markets with a high concentration of undeveloped land and those markets where the land no longer meets strategic development plans of the company . the company recorded a $ 9.4 million adjustment in 2002 associated with six properties determined to have an impairment of book value . the company has analyzed each of its in-service properties and has determined that there are no additional valuation adjustments that need to be made as of december 31 , 2002 . the company recorded an adjustment of $ 4.8 million in 2001 for one property that the company had contracted to sell for a price less than its book value . other revenue for the year ended december 31 , 2002 , includes $ 1.4 million of gain related to an interest rate swap that did not qualify for hedge accounting. . | 2002 | 2001 --------------------------------------- | -------------- | -------------- gain on sales of depreciable properties | $ 4491 | $ 45428 gain on land sales | 4478 | 5080 impairment adjustment | -9379 ( 9379 ) | -4800 ( 4800 ) total | $ -410 ( 410 ) | $ 45708

consumer foods net sales increased $ 303 million , or 5% ( 5 % ) , for the year to $ 6.8 billion . results reflect an increase of three percentage points from improved net pricing and product mix and two percentage points of improvement from higher volumes . net pricing and volume improvements were achieved in many of the company 2019s priority investment and enabler brands . the impact of product recalls partially offset these improvements . the company implemented significant price increases for many consumer foods products during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 . continued net sales improvements are expected into fiscal 2009 when the company expects to receive the benefit of these pricing actions for full fiscal periods . sales of some of the company 2019s most significant brands , including chef boyardee ae , david ae , egg beaters ae , healthy choice ae , hebrew national ae , hunt 2019s ae , marie callender 2019s ae , manwich ae , orville redenbacher 2019s ae , pam ae , ro*tel ae , rosarita ae , snack pack ae , swiss miss ae , wesson ae , and wolf ae grew in fiscal 2008 . sales of act ii ae , andy capp ae , banquet ae , crunch 2018n munch ae , kid cuisine ae , parkay ae , pemmican ae , reddi-wip ae , and slim jim ae declined in fiscal 2008 . net sales in the consumer foods segment are not comparable across periods due to a variety of factors . the company initiated a peanut butter recall in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and reintroduced peter pan ae peanut butter products in august 2007 . sales of all peanut butter products , including both branded and private label , in fiscal 2008 were $ 14 million lower than comparable amounts in fiscal 2007 . consumer foods net sales were also adversely impacted by the recall of banquet ae and private label pot pies in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 . net sales of pot pies were lower by approximately $ 22 million in fiscal 2008 , relative to fiscal 2007 , primarily due to product returns and lost sales of banquet ae and private label pot pies . sales from alexia foods and lincoln snacks , businesses acquired in fiscal 2008 , totaled $ 66 million in fiscal 2008 . the company divested a refrigerated pizza business during the first half of fiscal 2007 . sales from this business were $ 17 million in fiscal food and ingredients net sales were $ 4.1 billion in fiscal 2008 , an increase of $ 706 million , or 21% ( 21 % ) . increased sales are reflective of higher sales prices in the company 2019s milling operations due to higher grain prices , and price and volume increases in the company 2019s potato and dehydrated vegetable operations . the fiscal 2007 divestiture of an oat milling operation resulted in a reduction of sales of $ 27 million for fiscal 2008 , partially offset by increased sales of $ 18 million from the acquisition of watts brothers in february 2008 . international foods net sales increased $ 65 million to $ 678 million . the strengthening of foreign currencies relative to the u.s . dollar accounted for approximately $ 36 million of this increase . the segment achieved a 5% ( 5 % ) increase in sales volume in fiscal 2008 , primarily reflecting increased unit sales in canada and mexico , and modest increases in net pricing . gross profit ( net sales less cost of goods sold ) ( $ in millions ) reporting segment fiscal 2008 gross profit fiscal 2007 gross profit % ( % ) increase/ ( decrease ) . reporting segment | fiscal 2008 gross profit | fiscal 2007 gross profit | % ( % ) increase/ ( decrease ) -------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- consumer foods | $ 1802 | $ 1923 | ( 6 ) % ( % ) food and ingredients | 724 | 590 | 23% ( 23 % ) international foods | 190 | 180 | 6% ( 6 % ) total | $ 2716 | $ 2693 | 1% ( 1 % ) the company 2019s gross profit for fiscal 2008 was $ 2.7 billion , an increase of $ 23 million , or 1% ( 1 % ) , over the prior year . the increase in gross profit was largely driven by results in the food and ingredients segment , reflecting higher margins in the company 2019s milling and specialty potato operations , largely offset by reduced gross profits in the consumer foods segment . costs of implementing the company 2019s restructuring plans reduced gross profit by $ 4 million and $ 46 million in fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 , respectively.

management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations ( continued ) detail with respect to our investment portfolio as of december 31 , 2014 and 2013 is provided in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8 of this form 10-k . loans and leases averaged $ 15.91 billion for the year ended 2014 , up from $ 13.78 billion in 2013 . the increase was mainly related to mutual fund lending and our continued investment in senior secured bank loans . mutual fund lending and senior secured bank loans averaged approximately $ 9.12 billion and $ 1.40 billion , respectively , for the year ended december 31 , 2014 compared to $ 8.16 billion and $ 170 million for the year ended december 31 , 2013 , respectively . average loans and leases also include short- duration advances . table 13 : u.s . and non-u.s . short-duration advances years ended december 31 . ( in millions ) | 2014 | 2013 | 2012 ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ average u.s . short-duration advances | $ 2355 | $ 2356 | $ 1972 average non-u.s . short-duration advances | 1512 | 1393 | 1393 average total short-duration advances | $ 3867 | $ 3749 | $ 3365 average short-durance advances to average loans and leases | 24% ( 24 % ) | 27% ( 27 % ) | 29% ( 29 % ) average u.s . short-duration advances $ 2355 $ 2356 $ 1972 average non-u.s . short-duration advances 1512 1393 1393 average total short-duration advances $ 3867 $ 3749 $ 3365 average short-durance advances to average loans and leases 24% ( 24 % ) 27% ( 27 % ) 29% ( 29 % ) the decline in proportion of the average daily short-duration advances to average loans and leases is primarily due to growth in the other segments of the loan and lease portfolio . short-duration advances provide liquidity to clients in support of their investment activities . although average short-duration advances for the year ended december 31 , 2014 increased compared to the year ended december 31 , 2013 , such average advances remained low relative to historical levels , mainly the result of clients continuing to hold higher levels of liquidity . average other interest-earning assets increased to $ 15.94 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 11.16 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2013 . the increased levels were primarily the result of higher levels of cash collateral provided in connection with our enhanced custody business . aggregate average interest-bearing deposits increased to $ 130.30 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 109.25 billion for year ended 2013 . the higher levels were primarily the result of increases in both u.s . and non-u.s . transaction accounts and time deposits . future transaction account levels will be influenced by the underlying asset servicing business , as well as market conditions , including the general levels of u.s . and non-u.s . interest rates . average other short-term borrowings increased to $ 4.18 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 3.79 billion for the year ended 2013 . the increase was the result of a higher level of client demand for our commercial paper . the decline in rates paid from 1.6% ( 1.6 % ) in 2013 to 0.1% ( 0.1 % ) in 2014 resulted from a reclassification of certain derivative contracts that hedge our interest-rate risk on certain assets and liabilities , which reduced interest revenue and interest expense . average long-term debt increased to $ 9.31 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 8.42 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2013 . the increase primarily reflected the issuance of $ 1.5 billion of senior and subordinated debt in may 2013 , $ 1.0 billion of senior debt issued in november 2013 , and $ 1.0 billion of senior debt issued in december 2014 . this is partially offset by the maturities of $ 500 million of senior debt in may 2014 and $ 250 million of senior debt in march 2014 . average other interest-bearing liabilities increased to $ 7.35 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 6.46 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2013 , primarily the result of higher levels of cash collateral received from clients in connection with our enhanced custody business . several factors could affect future levels of our net interest revenue and margin , including the mix of client liabilities ; actions of various central banks ; changes in u.s . and non-u.s . interest rates ; changes in the various yield curves around the world ; revised or proposed regulatory capital or liquidity standards , or interpretations of those standards ; the amount of discount accretion generated by the former conduit securities that remain in our investment securities portfolio ; and the yields earned on securities purchased compared to the yields earned on securities sold or matured . based on market conditions and other factors , we continue to reinvest the majority of the proceeds from pay-downs and maturities of investment securities in highly-rated securities , such as u.s . treasury and agency securities , municipal securities , federal agency mortgage-backed securities and u.s . and non-u.s . mortgage- and asset-backed securities . the pace at which we continue to reinvest and the types of investment securities purchased will depend on the impact of market conditions and other factors over time . we expect these factors and the levels of global interest rates to influence what effect our reinvestment program will have on future levels of our net interest revenue and net interest margin.

note 9 . retirement plan we maintain a defined contribution pension plan covering full-time shoreside employees who have completed the minimum period of continuous service . annual contributions to the plan are based on fixed percentages of participants 2019 salaries and years of service , not to exceed certain maximums . pension cost was $ 13.9 million , $ 12.8 million and $ 12.2 million for the years ended december 31 , 2006 , 2005 and 2004 , respectively . note 10 . income taxes we and the majority of our subsidiaries are currently exempt from united states corporate tax on income from the international opera- tion of ships pursuant to section 883 of the internal revenue code . income tax expense related to our remaining subsidiaries was not significant for the years ended december 31 , 2006 , 2005 and 2004 . final regulations under section 883 were published on august 26 , 2003 , and were effective for the year ended december 31 , 2005 . these regulations confirmed that we qualify for the exemption provid- ed by section 883 , but also narrowed the scope of activities which are considered by the internal revenue service to be incidental to the international operation of ships . the activities listed in the regula- tions as not being incidental to the international operation of ships include income from the sale of air and other transportation such as transfers , shore excursions and pre and post cruise tours . to the extent the income from such activities is earned from sources within the united states , such income will be subject to united states taxa- tion . the application of these new regulations reduced our net income for the years ended december 31 , 2006 and december 31 , 2005 by approximately $ 6.3 million and $ 14.0 million , respectively . note 11 . financial instruments the estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows ( in thousands ) : . | 2006 | 2005 ------------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------- | -------------------- cash and cash equivalents | $ 104520 | $ 125385 long-term debt ( including current portion of long-term debt ) | -5474988 ( 5474988 ) | -4368874 ( 4368874 )

position 104159 ( 115415 ) interest rate swap agreements in a net receivable position 5856 8456 fuel swap agreements in a net payable position ( 20456 ) ( 78 ) the reported fair values are based on a variety of factors and assumptions . accordingly , the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of december 31 , 2006 or 2005 , or that will be realized in the future and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement . our financial instruments are not held for trading or speculative purposes . our exposure under foreign currency contracts , interest rate and fuel swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing the contracts in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the contracts , all of which are currently our lending banks . to minimize this risk , we select counterparties with credit risks acceptable to us and we limit our exposure to an individual counterparty . furthermore , all foreign currency forward contracts are denominated in primary currencies . cash and cash equivalents the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments . long-term debt the fair values of our senior notes and senior debentures were esti- mated by obtaining quoted market prices . the fair values of all other debt were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on market rates available to us for similar debt with the same remaining maturities . foreign currency contracts the fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts were esti- mated using current market prices for similar instruments . our expo- sure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates to six ship construction contracts and forecasted transactions . we use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates . as of december 31 , 2006 , we had foreign currency forward contracts in a notional amount of $ 3.8 billion maturing through 2009 . as of december 31 , 2006 , the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts related to the six ship construction contracts , which are designated as fair value hedges , was a net unrealized gain of approximately $ 106.3 mil- lion . at december 31 , 2005 , the fair value of our foreign currency for- ward contracts related to three ship construction contracts , designated as fair value hedges , was a net unrealized loss of approx- imately $ 103.4 million . the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts related to the other ship construction contract at december 31 , 2005 , which was designated as a cash flow hedge , was an unre- alized loss , of approximately $ 7.8 million . at december 31 , 2006 , approximately 11% ( 11 % ) of the aggregate cost of the ships was exposed to fluctuations in the euro exchange rate . r o y a l c a r i b b e a n

note 18 2013 earnings per share ( eps ) basic eps is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to allegion plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period . diluted eps is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic eps calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares , which in the company 2019s case , includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans . the following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. . in millions | 2017 | 2016 | 2015 ------------------------------------------- | ---- | ---- | ---- weighted-average number of basic shares | 95.1 | 95.8 | 95.9 shares issuable under incentive stock

shares outstanding because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive . note 19 2013 commitments and contingencies the company is involved in various litigations , claims and administrative proceedings , including those related to environmental and product warranty matters . amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates , which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available . subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities , except as expressly set forth in this note , management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition , results of operations , liquidity or cash flows of the company . environmental matters the company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns . as to the latter , the company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities . the company regularly evaluates its remediation programs and considers alternative remediation methods that are in addition to , or in replacement of , those currently utilized by the company based upon enhanced technology and regulatory changes . changes to the company's remediation programs may result in increased expenses and increased environmental reserves . the company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the u.s . environmental protection agency and similar state authorities . it has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ( "prp" ) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal superfund and state remediation sites . for all such sites , there are other prps and , in most instances , the company 2019s involvement is minimal . in estimating its liability , the company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other prps who may be jointly and severally liable . the ability of other prps to participate has been taken into account , based on our understanding of the parties 2019 financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis . additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future . the company incurred $ 3.2 million , $ 23.3 million , and $ 4.4 million of expenses during the years ended december 31 , 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively , for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the company . in the fourth-quarter of 2016 , with the collaboration and approval of state regulators , the company launched a proactive , alternative approach to remediate two sites in the united states . this approach will allow the company to more aggressively address environmental conditions at these sites and reduce the impact of potential changes in regulatory requirements . as a result , the company recorded a $ 15 million charge for environmental remediation in the fourth quarter of 2016 . environmental remediation costs are recorded in costs of goods sold within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income . as of december 31 , 2017 and 2016 , the company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $ 28.9 million and $ 30.6 million . the total reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 included $ 8.9 million and $ 9.6 million related to remediation of sites previously disposed by the company . environmental reserves are classified as accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term . the company's total current environmental reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 was $ 12.6 million and $ 6.1 million and the remainder is classified as noncurrent . given the

changes in the benchmark index component of the 10-year treasury yield . the company def signated these derivatives as cash flow hedges . on october 13 , 2015 , in conjunction with the pricing of the $ 4.5 billion senior notes , the companyr terminated these treasury lock contracts for a cash settlement payment of $ 16 million , which was recorded as a component of other comprehensive earnings and will be reclassified as an adjustment to interest expense over the ten years during which the related interest payments that were hedged will be recognized in income . foreign currency risk we are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations . these risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries , transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location's functional currency . we manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the use of foreign currency forward contracts . contracts are denominated in currtt encies of major industrial countries . our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our non-u.s . operations , to the extent they are conducted ind local currency . changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect translations of revenues denominated in currencies other than the u.s . dollar . during the years ended december 31 , 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , we generated approximately $ 1909 million , $ 1336 million and $ 1229 million , respectively , in revenues denominated in currencies other than the u.s . dollar . the major currencies to which our revenues are exposed are the brazilian real , the euro , the british pound sterling and the indian rupee . a 10% ( 10 % ) move in average exchange rates for these currencies ( assuming a simultaneous and immediate 10% ( 10 % ) change in all of such rates for the relevant period ) would have resulted in the following increase or ( decrease ) in our reported revenues for the years ended december 31 , 2016 , 2015 and 2014 ( in millions ) : . currency | 2016 | 2015 | 2014 -------------- | ----- | ----- | ----- pound sterling | $ 47 | $ 34 | $ 31 euro | 38 | 33 | 30 real | 32 | 29 | 38 indian rupee | 12 | 10 | 8 total impact | $ 129 | $ 106 | $ 107 while our results of operations have been impacted by the effects of currency fluctuations , our international operations' revenues and expenses are generally denominated in local currency , which reduces our economic exposure to foreign exchange risk in those jurisdictions . revenues included $ 100 million and $ 243 million and net earnings included $ 10 million , anrr d $ 31 million , respectively , of unfavorable foreign currency impact during 2016 and 2015 resulting from a stronger u.s . dollar during these years compared to thet preceding year . in 2017 , we expect continued unfavorable foreign currency impact on our operating income resulting from the continued strengthening of the u.s . dollar vs . other currencies . our foreign exchange risk management policy permits the use of derivative instruments , such as forward contracts and options , to reduce volatility in our results of operations and/or cash flows resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations . we do not enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for trading purposes or to engage in speculative activitr y . we do periodically enter inttt o foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure to intercompany loans . as of december 31 , 2016 , the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $ 143 million and the fair value was nominal . these derivatives are intended to hedge the foreign exchange risks related to intercompany loans but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes . we also use currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in costs caused by variations in indian rupee ( "inr" ) exchange rates . as of december 31 , 2016 , the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $ 7 million and the fair value was ll less than $ 1 million . these inr forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges . the fair value of these currency forward contracts is determined using currency exchange market rates , obtained from reliable , independent , third m party banks , at the balance sheet date . the fair value of forward contracts is subject to changes in currency exchange rates . the company has no ineffectiveness related to its use of currency forward contracts in connection with inr cash flow hedges . in conjunction with entering into the definitive agreement to acquire clear2pay in september 2014 , we initiated a foreign currency forward contract to purchase euros and sell u.s . dollars to manage the risk arising from fluctuations in exchange rates until the closing because the purchase price was stated in euros . as this derivative did not qualify for hedge accounting , we recorded a charge of $ 16 million in other income ( expense ) , net during the third quarter of 2014 . this forward contract was settled on october 1 , 2014.

mfc 2019s operating profit for 2013 increased $ 175 million , or 14% ( 14 % ) , compared to 2012 . the increase was primarily attributable to higher operating profit of approximately $ 85 million for air and missile defense programs ( thaad and pac-3 ) due to increased risk retirements and volume ; about $ 85 million for fire control programs ( sniper ae , lantirn ae and apache ) due to increased risk retirements and higher volume ; and approximately $ 75 million for tactical missile programs ( hellfire and various programs ) due to increased risk retirements . the increases were partially offset by lower operating profit of about $ 45 million for the resolution of contractual matters in the second quarter of 2012 ; and approximately $ 15 million for various technical services programs due to lower volume partially offset by increased risk retirements . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters , were approximately $ 100 million higher for 2013 compared to 2012 . 2012 compared to 2011 mfc 2019s net sales for 2012 were comparable to 2011 . net sales decreased approximately $ 130 million due to lower volume and risk retirements on various services programs , and about $ 60 million due to lower volume from fire control systems programs ( primarily sniper ae ; lantirn ae ; and apache ) . the decreases largely were offset by higher net sales of approximately $ 95 million due to higher volume from tactical missile programs ( primarily javelin and hellfire ) and approximately $ 80 million for air and missile defense programs ( primarily pac-3 and thaad ) . mfc 2019s operating profit for 2012 increased $ 187 million , or 17% ( 17 % ) , compared to 2011 . the increase was attributable to higher risk retirements and volume of about $ 95 million from tactical missile programs ( primarily javelin and hellfire ) ; increased risk retirements and volume of approximately $ 60 million for air and missile defense programs ( primarily thaad and pac-3 ) ; and about $ 45 million from a resolution of contractual matters . partially offsetting these increases was lower risk retirements and volume on various programs , including $ 25 million for services programs . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters described above , were approximately $ 145 million higher for 2012 compared to 2011 . backlog backlog increased in 2013 compared to 2012 mainly due to higher orders on the thaad program and lower sales volume compared to new orders on certain fire control systems programs in 2013 , partially offset by lower orders on technical services programs and certain tactical missile programs . backlog increased in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to increased orders and lower sales on fire control systems programs ( primarily lantirn ae and sniper ae ) and on various services programs , partially offset by lower orders and higher sales volume on tactical missiles programs . trends we expect mfc 2019s net sales to be flat to slightly down in 2014 compared to 2013 , primarily due to a decrease in net sales on technical services programs partially offset by an increase in net sales from missiles and fire control programs . operating profit is expected to decrease in the high single digit percentage range , driven by a reduction in expected risk retirements in 2014 . accordingly , operating profit margin is expected to slightly decline from 2013 . mission systems and training our mst business segment provides ship and submarine mission and combat systems ; mission systems and sensors for rotary and fixed-wing aircraft ; sea and land-based missile defense systems ; radar systems ; littoral combat ships ; simulation and training services ; and unmanned systems and technologies . mst 2019s major programs include aegis combat system ( aegis ) , lcs , mh-60 , tpq-53 radar system , and mk-41 vertical launching system ( vls ) . mst 2019s operating results included the following ( in millions ) : . | 2013 | 2012 | 2011 ------------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | -------------- net sales | $ 7153 | $ 7579 | $ 7132 operating profit | 905 | 737 | 645 operating margins | 12.7% ( 12.7 % ) | 9.7% ( 9.7 % ) | 9.0% ( 9.0 % ) backlog at year-end | 10800 | 10700 | 10500 2013 compared to 2012 mst 2019s net sales for 2013 decreased $ 426 million , or 6% ( 6 % ) , compared to 2012 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $ 275 million for various ship and aviation systems programs due to lower volume

recourse and repurchase obligations as discussed in note 3 loans sale and servicing activities and variable interest entities , pnc has sold commercial mortgage and residential mortgage loans directly or indirectly in securitizations and whole-loan sale transactions with continuing involvement . one form of continuing involvement includes certain recourse and loan repurchase obligations associated with the transferred assets in these transactions . commercial mortgage loan recourse obligations we originate , close and service certain multi-family commercial mortgage loans which are sold to fnma under fnma 2019s dus program . we participated in a similar program with the fhlmc . under these programs , we generally assume up to a one-third pari passu risk of loss on unpaid principal balances through a loss share arrangement . at december 31 , 2011 and december 31 , 2010 , the unpaid principal balance outstanding of loans sold as a participant in these programs was $ 13.0 billion and $ 13.2 billion , respectively . the potential maximum exposure under the loss share arrangements was $ 4.0 billion at both december 31 , 2011 and december 31 , 2010 . we maintain a reserve for estimated losses based upon our exposure . the reserve for losses under these programs totaled $ 47 million and $ 54 million as of december 31 , 2011 and december 31 , 2010 , respectively , and is included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet . if payment is required under these programs , we would not have a contractual interest in the collateral underlying the mortgage loans on which losses occurred , although the value of the collateral is taken into account in determining our share of such losses . our exposure and activity associated with these recourse obligations are reported in the corporate & institutional banking segment . analysis of commercial mortgage recourse obligations . in millions | 2011 | 2010 -------------------------------------------- | -------- | ----------

and home equity repurchase obligations while residential mortgage loans are sold on a non-recourse basis , we assume certain loan repurchase obligations associated with mortgage loans we have sold to investors . these loan repurchase obligations primarily relate to situations where pnc is alleged to have breached certain origination covenants and representations and warranties made to purchasers of the loans in the respective purchase and sale agreements . residential mortgage loans covered by these loan repurchase obligations include first and second-lien mortgage loans we have sold through agency securitizations , non-agency securitizations , and whole-loan sale transactions . as discussed in note 3 in this report , agency securitizations consist of mortgage loans sale transactions with fnma , fhlmc , and gnma , while non-agency securitizations and whole-loan sale transactions consist of mortgage loans sale transactions with private investors . our historical exposure and activity associated with agency securitization repurchase obligations has primarily been related to transactions with fnma and fhlmc , as indemnification and repurchase losses associated with fha and va-insured and uninsured loans pooled in gnma securitizations historically have been minimal . repurchase obligation activity associated with residential mortgages is reported in the residential mortgage banking segment . pnc 2019s repurchase obligations also include certain brokered home equity loans/lines that were sold to a limited number of private investors in the financial services industry by national city prior to our acquisition . pnc is no longer engaged in the brokered home equity lending business , and our exposure under these loan repurchase obligations is limited to repurchases of whole-loans sold in these transactions . repurchase activity associated with brokered home equity loans/lines is reported in the non-strategic assets portfolio segment . loan covenants and representations and warranties are established through loan sale agreements with various investors to provide assurance that pnc has sold loans to investors of sufficient investment quality . key aspects of such covenants and representations and warranties include the loan 2019s compliance with any applicable loan criteria established by the investor , including underwriting standards , delivery of all required loan documents to the investor or its designated party , sufficient collateral valuation , and the validity of the lien securing the loan . as a result of alleged breaches of these contractual obligations , investors may request pnc to indemnify them against losses on certain loans or to repurchase loans . these investor indemnification or repurchase claims are typically settled on an individual loan basis through make- whole payments or loan repurchases ; however , on occasion we may negotiate pooled settlements with investors . indemnifications for loss or loan repurchases typically occur when , after review of the claim , we agree insufficient evidence exists to dispute the investor 2019s claim that a breach of a loan covenant and representation and warranty has occurred , such breach has not been cured , and the effect of such breach is deemed to have had a material and adverse effect on the value of the transferred loan . depending on the sale agreement and upon proper notice from the investor , we typically respond to such indemnification and repurchase requests within 60 days , although final resolution of the claim may take a longer period of time . with the exception of the sales the pnc financial services group , inc . 2013 form 10-k 199

there is no goodwill assigned to reporting units within the balance sheet management segment . the following table shows the amount of goodwill allocated to each of the reporting units and the fair value as a percentage of book value for the reporting units in the trading and investing segment ( dollars in millions ) : . reporting unit | december 31 2012 goodwill | december 31 2012 % ( % ) of fair value to book value ---------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- retail brokerage | $ 1791.8 | 190% ( 190 % ) market making | 142.4 | 115% ( 115 % ) total goodwill | $ 1934.2 | we also evaluate the remaining useful lives on intangible assets each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization . other intangible assets have a weighted average remaining useful life of 13 years . we did not recognize impairment on our other intangible assets in the periods presented . effects if actual results differ if our estimates of fair value for the reporting units change due to changes in our business or other factors , we may determine that an impairment charge is necessary . estimates of fair value are determined based on a complex model using estimated future cash flows and company comparisons . if actual cash flows are less than estimated future cash flows used in the annual assessment , then goodwill would have to be tested for impairment . the estimated fair value of the market making reporting unit as a percentage of book value was approximately 115% ( 115 % ) ; therefore , if actual cash flows are less than our estimated cash flows , goodwill impairment could occur in the market making reporting unit in the future . these cash flows will be monitored closely to determine if a further evaluation of potential impairment is necessary so that impairment could be recognized in a timely manner . in addition , following the review of order handling practices and pricing for order flow between e*trade securities llc and gi execution services , llc , our regulators may initiate investigations into our historical practices which could subject us to monetary penalties and cease-and-desist orders , which could also prompt claims by customers of e*trade securities llc . any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our market making and trade execution businesses , which could impact future cash flows and could result in goodwill impairment . intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives . if changes in the estimated underlying revenue occur , impairment or a change in the remaining life may need to be recognized . estimates of effective tax rates , deferred taxes and valuation allowance description in preparing the consolidated financial statements , we calculate income tax expense ( benefit ) based on our interpretation of the tax laws in the various jurisdictions where we conduct business . this requires us to estimate current tax obligations and the realizability of uncertain tax positions and to assess temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities . these differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities , the net amount of which we show as other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet . we must also assess the likelihood that each of the deferred tax assets will be realized . to the extent we believe that realization is not more likely than not , we establish a valuation allowance . when we establish a valuation allowance or increase this allowance in a reporting period , we generally record a corresponding tax expense in the consolidated statement of income ( loss ) . conversely , to the extent circumstances indicate that a valuation allowance is no longer necessary , that portion of the valuation allowance is reversed , which generally reduces overall income tax expense . at december 31 , 2012 we had net deferred tax assets of $ 1416.2 million , net of a valuation allowance ( on state , foreign country and charitable contribution deferred tax assets ) of $ 97.8 million.

the selection and disclosure of our critical accounting estimates have been discussed with our audit committee . the following is a discussion of the more significant assumptions , estimates , accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements : 2022 revenue recognition - we recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists , delivery of product has occurred , the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured . for our company , this means that revenue is recognized when title and risk of loss is transferred to our customers . title transfers to our customers upon shipment or upon receipt at the customer's location as determined by the sales terms for each transaction . the company estimates the cost of sales returns based on historical experience , and these estimates are normally immaterial . 2022 goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets valuation - we test goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets for impairment annually or more frequently if events occur that would warrant such review . we perform our annual impairment analysis in the first quarter of each year . while the company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment for both goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets to determine if it is more likely than not that an impairment exists , the company elects to perform the quantitative assessment for our annual impairment analysis . the impairment analysis involves comparing the fair value of each reporting unit or non-amortizable intangible asset to the carrying value . if the carrying value exceeds the fair value , goodwill or a non-amortizable intangible asset is considered impaired . to determine the fair value of goodwill , we primarily use a discounted cash flow model , supported by the market approach using earnings multiples of comparable global and local companies within the tobacco industry . at december 31 , 2015 , the carrying value of our goodwill was $ 7.4 billion , which is related to ten reporting units , each of which is comprised of a group of markets with similar economic characteristics . the estimated fair value of our ten reporting units exceeded the carrying value as of december 31 , 2015 . to determine the fair value of non-amortizable intangible assets , we primarily use a discounted cash flow model applying the relief-from-royalty method . we concluded that the fair value of our non-amortizable intangible assets exceeded the carrying value , and any reasonable movement in the assumptions would not result in an impairment . these discounted cash flow models include management assumptions relevant for forecasting operating cash flows , which are subject to changes in business conditions , such as volumes and prices , costs to produce , discount rates and estimated capital needs . management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values are estimated , and we believe these assumptions are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use . since the march 28 , 2008 , spin-off from altria , we have not recorded a charge to earnings for an impairment of goodwill or non-amortizable intangible assets . 2022 marketing and advertising costs - we incur certain costs to support our products through programs which include advertising , marketing , consumer engagement and trade promotions . the costs of our advertising and marketing programs are expensed in accordance with u.s . gaap . recognition of the cost related to our consumer engagement and trade promotion programs contain uncertainties due to the judgment required in estimating the potential performance and compliance for each program . for volume-based incentives provided to customers , management continually assesses and estimates , by customer , the likelihood of the customer achieving the specified targets and records the reduction of revenue as the sales are made . for other trade promotions , management relies on estimated utilization rates that have been developed from historical experience . changes in the assumptions used in estimating the cost of any individual marketing program would not result in a material change in our financial position , results of operations or operating cash flows . we have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to estimate our marketing programs during the past three years . 2022 employee benefit plans - as discussed in item 8 , note 13 . benefit plans to our consolidated financial statements , we provide a range of benefits to our employees and retired employees , including pensions , postretirement health care and postemployment benefits ( primarily severance ) . we record annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by u.s . gaap . these calculations include various actuarial assumptions , such as discount rates , assumed rates of return on plan assets , compensation increases , mortality , turnover rates and health care cost trend rates . we review actuarial assumptions on an annual basis and make modifications to the assumptions based on current rates and trends when it is deemed appropriate to do so . as permitted by u.s . gaap , any effect of the modifications is generally amortized over future periods . we believe that the assumptions utilized in calculating our obligations under these plans are reasonable based upon our historical experience and advice from our actuaries . weighted-average discount rate assumptions for pensions and postretirement plans are as follows: . | 2015 | 2014 ----------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- u.s . pension plans | 4.30% ( 4.30 % ) | 3.95% ( 3.95 % ) non-u.s . pension plans | 1.68% ( 1.68 % ) | 1.92% ( 1.92 % ) postretirement plans | 4.45% ( 4.45 % ) | 4.20% ( 4.20 % ) we anticipate that assumption changes , coupled with decreased amortization of deferred losses , will decrease 2016 pre-tax u.s . and non- u.s . pension and postretirement expense to approximately $ 209 million as compared with approximately $ 240 million in 2015 , excluding

the long term . in addition , we have focused on building relationships with large multinational carriers such as airtel , telef f3nica s.a . and vodafone group plc . we believe that consistent carrier investments in their networks across our international markets position us to generate meaningful organic revenue growth going forward . in emerging markets , such as ghana , india , nigeria and uganda , wireless networks tend to be significantly less advanced than those in the united states , and initial voice networks continue to be deployed in underdeveloped areas . a majority of consumers in these markets still utilize basic wireless services , predominantly on feature phones , while advanced device penetration remains low . in more developed urban locations within these markets , early-stage data network deployments are underway . carriers are focused on completing voice network build-outs while also investing in initial data networks as wireless data usage and smartphone penetration within their customer bases begin to accelerate . in markets with rapidly evolving network technology , such as south africa and most of the countries in latin america where we do business , initial voice networks , for the most part , have already been built out , and carriers are focused on 3g network build outs , with select investments in 4g technology . consumers in these regions are increasingly adopting smartphones and other advanced devices , and as a result , the usage of bandwidth-intensive mobile applications is growing materially . recent spectrum auctions in these rapidly evolving markets have allowed incumbent carriers to accelerate their data network deployments and have also enabled new entrants to begin initial investments in data networks . smartphone penetration and wireless data usage in these markets are growing rapidly , which typically requires that carriers continue to invest in their networks in order to maintain and augment their quality of service . finally , in markets with more mature network technology , such as germany , carriers are focused on deploying 4g data networks to account for rapidly increasing wireless data usage amongst their customer base . with higher smartphone and advanced device penetration and significantly higher per capita data usage , carrier investment in networks is focused on 4g coverage and capacity . we believe that the network technology migration we have seen in the united states , which has led to significantly denser networks and meaningful new business commencements for us over a number of years , will ultimately be replicated in our less advanced international markets . as a result , we expect to be able to leverage our extensive international portfolio of approximately 60190 communications sites and the relationships we have built with our carrier customers to drive sustainable , long-term growth . we have holistic master lease agreements with certain of our tenants that provide for consistent , long-term revenue and a reduction in the likelihood of churn . our holistic master lease agreements build and augment strong strategic partnerships with our tenants and have significantly reduced collocation cycle times , thereby providing our tenants with the ability to rapidly and efficiently deploy equipment on our sites . property operations new site revenue growth . during the year ended december 31 , 2015 , we grew our portfolio of communications real estate through the acquisition and construction of approximately 25370 sites . in a majority of our asia , emea and latin america markets , the acquisition or construction of new sites resulted in increases in both tenant and pass- through revenues ( such as ground rent or power and fuel costs ) and expenses . we continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire communications real estate portfolios , both domestically and internationally , to determine whether they meet our risk-adjusted hurdle rates and whether we believe we can effectively integrate them into our existing portfolio. . new sites ( acquired or constructed ) | 2015 | 2014 | 2013 ------------------------------------- | ----- | ---- |

segments include direct site level expenses and consist primarily of ground rent and power and fuel costs , some or all of which may be passed through to our tenants , as well as property taxes , repairs and maintenance . these segment direct operating expenses exclude all segment and corporate selling , general , administrative and development expenses , which are aggregated into one line item entitled selling , general , administrative and development expense in our consolidated statements of operations . in general , our property segments 2019 selling , general , administrative and development expenses do not significantly increase as a result of adding incremental tenants to our legacy sites and typically increase only modestly year-over-year . as a result , leasing additional space to new tenants on our legacy sites provides significant incremental cash flow . we may , however , incur additional segment

in a new business model such as the retail segment is inherently risky , particularly in light of the significant investment involved , the current economic climate , and the fixed nature of a substantial portion of the retail segment's operating expenses . results for this segment are dependent upon a number of risks and uncertainties , some of which are discussed below under the heading "factors that may affect future results and financial condition." backlog in the company's experience , the actual amount of product backlog at any particular time is not a meaningful indication of its future business prospects . in particular , backlog often increases in anticipation of or immediately following new product introductions because of over- ordering by dealers anticipating shortages . backlog often is reduced once dealers and customers believe they can obtain sufficient supply . because of the foregoing , backlog cannot be considered a reliable indicator of the company's ability to achieve any particular level of revenue or financial performance . further information regarding the company's backlog may be found below under the heading "factors that may affect future results and financial condition." gross margin gross margin for the three fiscal years ended september 28 , 2002 are as follows ( in millions , except gross margin percentages ) : gross margin increased to 28% ( 28 % ) of net sales in 2002 from 23% ( 23 % ) in 2001 . as discussed below , gross margin in 2001 was unusually low resulting from negative gross margin of 2% ( 2 % ) experienced in the first quarter of 2001 . as a percentage of net sales , the company's quarterly gross margins declined during fiscal 2002 from 31% ( 31 % ) in the first quarter down to 26% ( 26 % ) in the fourth quarter . this decline resulted from several factors including a rise in component costs as the year progressed and aggressive pricing by the company across its products lines instituted as a result of continued pricing pressures in the personal computer industry . the company anticipates that its gross margin and the gross margin of the overall personal computer industry will remain under pressure throughout fiscal 2003 in light of weak economic conditions , flat demand for personal computers in general , and the resulting pressure on prices . the foregoing statements regarding anticipated gross margin in 2003 and the general demand for personal computers during 2003 are forward- looking . gross margin could differ from anticipated levels because of several factors , including certain of those set forth below in the subsection entitled "factors that may affect future results and financial condition." there can be no assurance that current gross margins will be maintained , targeted gross margin levels will be achieved , or current margins on existing individual products will be maintained . in general , gross margins and margins on individual products will remain under significant downward pressure due to a variety of factors , including continued industry wide global pricing pressures , increased competition , compressed product life cycles , potential increases in the cost and availability of raw material and outside manufacturing services , and potential changes to the company's product mix , including higher unit sales of consumer products with lower average selling prices and lower gross margins . in response to these downward pressures , the company expects it will continue to take pricing actions with respect to its products . gross margins could also be affected by the company's ability to effectively manage quality problems and warranty costs and to stimulate demand for certain of its products . the company's operating strategy and pricing take into account anticipated changes in foreign currency exchange rates over time ; however , the company's results of operations can be significantly affected in the short-term by fluctuations in exchange rates . the company orders components for its products and builds inventory in advance of product shipments . because the company's markets are volatile and subject to rapid technology and price changes , there is a risk the company will forecast incorrectly and produce or order from third parties excess or insufficient inventories of particular products or components . the company's operating results and financial condition have been in the past and may in the future be materially adversely affected by the company's ability to manage its inventory levels and outstanding purchase commitments and to respond to short-term shifts in customer demand patterns . gross margin declined to 23% ( 23 % ) of net sales in 2001 from 27% ( 27 % ) in 2000 . this decline resulted primarily from gross margin of negative 2% ( 2 % ) experienced during the first quarter of 2001 compared to 26% ( 26 % ) gross margin for the same quarter in 2000 . in addition to lower than normal net . | 2002 | 2001 | 2000 ----------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ net sales | $ 5742 | $ 5363 | $ 7983 cost of sales | 4139 | 4128 | 5817 gross margin | $ 1603 | $ 1235 | $ 2166 gross margin percentage | 28% ( 28 % ) | 23% ( 23 % ) | 27% ( 27 % )

contracts and customer purchase orders are generally used to determine the existence of an arrangement . shipping documents are used to verify delivery . the company assesses whether the selling price is fixed or determinable based upon the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment . the company assesses collectibility based primarily on the creditworthiness of the customer as determined by credit checks and analysis , as well as the customer 2019s payment history . accruals for customer returns for defective product are based on historical experience with similar types of sales . accruals for rebates and incentives are based on pricing agreements and are generally tied to sales volume . changes in such accruals may be required if future returns differ from historical experience or if actual sales volume differ from estimated sales volume . rebates and incentives are recognized as a reduction of sales . compensated absences . in the fourth quarter of 2001 , the company changed its vacation policy for certain employees so that vacation pay is earned ratably throughout the year and must be used by year-end . the accrual for compensated absences was reduced by $ 1.6 million in 2001 to eliminate vacation pay no longer required to be accrued under the current policy . advertising . advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred and amounted to $ 18.4 , $ 16.2 and $ 8.8 million during 2003 , 2002 and 2001 respectively . research and development . research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred and amounted to $ 34.6 , $ 30.4 and $ 27.6 million during 2003 , 2002 and 2001 , respectively . product warranty . the company 2019s products carry warranties that generally range from one to six years and are based on terms that are generally accepted in the market place . the company records a liability for the expected cost of warranty-related claims at the time of sale . the allocation of our warranty liability between current and long-term is based on expected warranty claims to be paid in the next year as determined by historical product failure rates . 1 . organization and significant accounting policies ( continued ) the following table presents the company 2019s product warranty liability activity in 2003 and 2002 : note to table : environmental costs . the company accrues for losses associated with environmental obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable . costs of estimated future expenditures are not discounted to their present value . recoveries of environmental costs from other parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is considered probable . the accruals are adjusted as facts and circumstances change . stock based compensation . the company has one stock-based employee compensation plan ( see note 11 ) . sfas no . 123 , 201caccounting for stock-based compensation , 201d encourages , but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value . the company has chosen to continue applying accounting principles board opinion no . 25 , 201caccounting for stock issued to employees , 201d and related interpretations , in accounting for its stock option plans . accordingly , because the number of shares is fixed and the exercise price of the stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant , no compensation expense has been recognized . had compensation cost been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plans based on the provisions of sfas no . 123 , the company 2019s pro forma earnings and earnings per share would have been as follows: . years ended december 31 ( dollars in millions ) | 2003 | 2002 ----------------------------------------------- | -------------- | -------------- balance at beginning of year | $ 63.2 | $ 69.6 expense | 29.1 | 29.9 claims settled | -30.2 ( 30.2 ) | -29.1 ( 29.1 ) customer warranty waiver ( 1 ) | -- | -7.2 ( 7.2 ) balance at end of year | $ 62.1 | $ 63.2 ( 1 ) in exchange for other concessions , the customer has agreed to accept responsibility for units they have purchased from the company which become defective . the amount of the warranty reserve applicable to the estimated number of units previously sold to this customer that may become defective has been reclassified from the product warranty liability to a deferred revenue account.

critical accounting estimates our consolidated financial statements include amounts that , either by their nature or due to requirements of accounting princi- ples generally accepted in the u.s . ( gaap ) , are determined using best estimates and assumptions . while we believe that the amounts included in our consolidated financial statements reflect our best judgment , actual amounts could ultimately materi- ally differ from those currently presented . we believe the items that require the most subjective and complex estimates are : 2022 unpaid loss and loss expense reserves , including long-tail asbestos and environmental ( a&e ) reserves ; 2022 future policy benefits reserves ; 2022 valuation of value of business acquired ( voba ) and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and voba ; 2022 the assessment of risk transfer for certain structured insurance and reinsurance contracts ; 2022 reinsurance recoverable , including a provision for uncollectible reinsurance ; 2022 the valuation of our investment portfolio and assessment of other-than-temporary impairments ( otti ) ; 2022 the valuation of deferred tax assets ; 2022 the valuation of derivative instruments related to guaranteed minimum income benefits ( gmib ) ; and 2022 the valuation of goodwill . we believe our accounting policies for these items are of critical importance to our consolidated financial statements . the following discussion provides more information regarding the estimates and assumptions required to arrive at these amounts and should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled : prior period development , asbestos and environmental and other run-off liabilities , reinsurance recoverable on ceded reinsurance , investments , net realized gains ( losses ) , and other income and expense items . unpaid losses and loss expenses overview and key data as an insurance and reinsurance company , we are required , by applicable laws and regulations and gaap , to establish loss and loss expense reserves for the estimated unpaid portion of the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses under the terms of our policies and agreements with our insured and reinsured customers . the estimate of the liabilities includes provisions for claims that have been reported but are unpaid at the balance sheet date ( case reserves ) and for future obligations on claims that have been incurred but not reported ( ibnr ) at the balance sheet date ( ibnr may also include a provision for additional development on reported claims in instances where the case reserve is viewed to be potentially insufficient ) . loss reserves also include an estimate of expenses associated with processing and settling unpaid claims ( loss expenses ) . at december 31 , 2009 , our gross unpaid loss and loss expense reserves were $ 37.8 billion and our net unpaid loss and loss expense reserves were $ 25 billion . with the exception of certain structured settlements , for which the timing and amount of future claim pay- ments are reliably determinable , our loss reserves are not discounted for the time value of money . in connection with such structured settlements , we carry net reserves of $ 76 million , net of discount . the table below presents a roll-forward of our unpaid losses and loss expenses for the years ended december 31 , 2009 and 2008. .
