decreased production volume as final aircraft deliveries were completed during the second quarter of 2012 and $ 50 million from the favorable resolution of a contractual matter during the second quarter of 2012 ; and about $ 270 million for various other programs ( primarily sustainment activities ) due to decreased volume . the decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of about $ 295 million for f-35 production contracts due to increased production volume and risk retirements ; approximately $ 245 million for the c-5 program due to increased aircraft deliveries ( six aircraft delivered in 2013 compared to four in 2012 ) and other modernization activities ; and about $ 70 million for the f-35 development contract due to increased volume . aeronautics 2019 operating profit for 2013 decreased $ 87 million , or 5% ( 5 % ) , compared to 2012 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of about $ 85 million for the f-22 program , which includes approximately $ 50 million from the favorable resolution of a contractual matter in the second quarter of 2012 and about $ 35 million due to decreased risk retirements and production volume ; approximately $ 70 million for the c-130 program due to lower risk retirements and fewer deliveries partially offset by increased sustainment activities ; about $ 65 million for the c-5 program due to the inception-to-date effect of reducing the profit booking rate in the third quarter of 2013 and lower risk retirements ; approximately $ 35 million for the f-16 program due to fewer aircraft deliveries partially offset by increased sustainment activity and aircraft configuration mix . the decreases were partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $ 180 million for f-35 production contracts due to increased risk retirements and volume . operating profit was comparable for the f-35 development contract and included adjustments of approximately $ 85 million to reflect the inception-to-date impacts of the downward revisions to the profit booking rate in both 2013 and 2012 . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters , were approximately $ 75 million lower for 2013 compared to backlog backlog decreased slightly in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to lower orders on f-16 and f-22 programs . backlog decreased in 2013 compared to 2012 mainly due to lower orders on f-16 , c-5 and c-130 programs , partially offset by higher orders on the f-35 program . trends we expect aeronautics 2019 2015 net sales to be comparable or slightly behind 2014 due to a decline in f-16 deliveries as well as a decline in f-35 development activity , partially offset by an increase in production contracts . operating profit is also expected to decrease in the low single digit range , due primarily to contract mix , resulting in a slight decrease in operating margins between years . information systems & global solutions our is&gs business segment provides advanced technology systems and expertise , integrated information technology solutions and management services across a broad spectrum of applications for civil , defense , intelligence and other government customers . is&gs has a portfolio of many smaller contracts as compared to our other business segments . is&gs has been impacted by the continued downturn in certain federal agencies 2019 information technology budgets and increased re-competition on existing contracts coupled with the fragmentation of large contracts into multiple smaller contracts that are awarded primarily on the basis of price . is&gs 2019 operating results included the following ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td><td>2012</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 7788</td><td>$ 8367</td><td>$ 8846</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>operating profit</td><td>699</td><td>759</td><td>808</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>operating margins</td><td>9.0% ( 9.0 % )</td><td>9.1% ( 9.1 % )</td><td>9.1% ( 9.1 % )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>backlog at year-end</td><td>$ 8700</td><td>$ 8300</td><td>$ 8700</td></tr></table> 2014 compared to 2013 is&gs 2019 net sales decreased $ 579 million , or 7% ( 7 % ) , for 2014 compared to 2013 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of about $ 645 million for 2014 due to the wind-down or completion of certain programs , driven by reductions in direct warfighter support ( including jieddo and ptds ) and defense budgets tied to command and control programs ; and approximately $ 490 million for 2014 due to a decline in volume for various ongoing programs , which reflects lower funding levels and programs impacted by in-theater force reductions . the decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of about $ 550 million for 2014 due to the start-up of new programs , growth in recently awarded programs and integration of recently acquired companies. .

decreased production volume as final aircraft deliveries were completed during the second quarter of 2012 and $ 50 million from the favorable resolution of a contractual matter during the second quarter of 2012 ; and about $ 270 million for various other programs ( primarily sustainment activities ) due to decreased volume . the decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of about $ 295 million for f-35 production contracts due to increased production volume and risk retirements ; approximately $ 245 million for the c-5 program due to increased aircraft deliveries ( six aircraft delivered in 2013 compared to four in 2012 ) and other modernization activities ; and about $ 70 million for the f-35 development contract due to increased volume . aeronautics 2019 operating profit for 2013 decreased $ 87 million , or 5% ( 5 % ) , compared to 2012 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of about $ 85 million for the f-22 program , which includes approximately $ 50 million from the favorable resolution of a contractual matter in the second quarter of 2012 and about $ 35 million due to decreased risk retirements and production volume ; approximately $ 70 million for the c-130 program due to lower risk retirements and fewer deliveries partially offset by increased sustainment activities ; about $ 65 million for the c-5 program due to the inception-to-date effect of reducing the profit booking rate in the third quarter of 2013 and lower risk retirements ; approximately $ 35 million for the f-16 program due to fewer aircraft deliveries partially offset by increased sustainment activity and aircraft configuration mix . the decreases were partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $ 180 million for f-35 production contracts due to increased risk retirements and volume . operating profit was comparable for the f-35 development contract and included adjustments of approximately $ 85 million to reflect the inception-to-date impacts of the downward revisions to the profit booking rate in both 2013 and 2012 . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters , were approximately $ 75 million lower for 2013 compared to backlog backlog decreased slightly in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to lower orders on f-16 and f-22 programs . backlog decreased in 2013 compared to 2012 mainly due to lower orders on f-16 , c-5 and c-130 programs , partially offset by higher orders on the f-35 program . trends we expect aeronautics 2019 2015 net sales to be comparable or slightly behind 2014 due to a decline in f-16 deliveries as well as a decline in f-35 development activity , partially offset by an increase in production contracts . operating profit is also expected to decrease in the low single digit range , due primarily to contract mix , resulting in a slight decrease in operating margins between years . information systems & global solutions our is&gs business segment provides advanced technology systems and expertise , integrated information technology solutions and management services across a broad spectrum of applications for civil , defense , intelligence and other government customers . is&gs has a portfolio of many smaller contracts as compared to our other business segments . is&gs has been impacted by the continued downturn in certain federal agencies 2019 information technology budgets and increased re-competition on existing contracts coupled with the fragmentation of large contracts into multiple smaller contracts that are awarded primarily on the basis of price . is&gs 2019 operating results included the following ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td><td>2012</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 7788</td><td>$ 8367</td><td>$ 8846</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>operating profit</td><td>699</td><td>759</td><td>808</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>operating margins</td><td>9.0% ( 9.0 % )</td><td>9.1% ( 9.1 % )</td><td>9.1% ( 9.1 % )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>backlog at year-end</td><td>$ 8700</td><td>$ 8300</td><td>$ 8700</td></tr></table> 2014 compared to 2013 is&gs 2019 net sales decreased $ 579 million , or 7% ( 7 % ) , for 2014 compared to 2013 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of about $ 645 million for 2014 due to the wind-down or completion of certain programs , driven by reductions in direct warfighter support ( including jieddo and ptds ) and defense budgets tied to command and control programs ; and approximately $ 490 million for 2014 due to a decline in volume for various ongoing programs , which reflects lower funding levels and programs impacted by in-theater force reductions . the decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of about $ 550 million for 2014 due to the start-up of new programs , growth in recently awarded programs and integration of recently acquired companies. .

compared to 2001 . the increase in sales for 2002 resulted from higher volume in government space of $ 370 million and commercial space of $ 180 million . in government space , increases of $ 470 million in government satellite programs and $ 130 million in ground systems activities more than offset volume declines of $ 175 million on government launch vehi- cles and $ 55 million on strategic missile programs . the increase in commercial space sales is primarily attributable to an increase in launch vehicle activities , with nine commercial launches during 2002 compared to six in 2001 . net sales for the segment decreased by 7% ( 7 % ) in 2001 com- pared to 2000 . the decrease in sales for 2001 resulted from volume declines in commercial space of $ 560 million , which more than offset increases in government space of $ 60 million . in commercial space , sales declined due to volume reductions of $ 480 million in commercial launch vehicle activities and $ 80 million in satellite programs . there were six launches in 2001 compared to 14 launches in 2000 . the increase in gov- ernment space resulted from a combined increase of $ 230 mil- lion related to higher volume on government satellite programs and ground systems activities . these increases were partially offset by a $ 110 million decrease related to volume declines in government launch vehicle activity , primarily due to program maturities , and by $ 50 million due to the absence in 2001 of favorable adjustments recorded on the titan iv pro- gram in 2000 . operating profit for the segment increased 23% ( 23 % ) in 2002 as compared to 2001 , mainly driven by the commercial space business . reduced losses in commercial space during 2002 resulted in increased operating profit of $ 90 million when compared to 2001 . commercial satellite manufacturing losses declined $ 100 million in 2002 as operating performance improved and satellite deliveries increased . in the first quarter of 2001 , a $ 40 million loss provision was recorded on certain commercial satellite manufacturing contracts . due to the industry-wide oversupply and deterioration of pricing in the commercial launch market , financial results on commercial launch vehicles continue to be challenging . during 2002 , this trend led to a decline in operating profit of $ 10 million on commercial launch vehicles when compared to 2001 . this decrease was primarily due to lower profitability of $ 55 mil- lion on the three additional launches in the current year , addi- tional charges of $ 60 million ( net of a favorable contract adjustment of $ 20 million ) for market and pricing pressures and included the adverse effect of a $ 35 million adjustment for commercial launch vehicle contract settlement costs . the 2001 results also included charges for market and pricing pressures , which reduced that year 2019s operating profit by $ 145 million . the $ 10 million decrease in government space 2019s operating profit for the year is primarily due to the reduced volume on government launch vehicles and strategic missile programs , which combined to decrease operating profit by $ 80 million , partially offset by increases of $ 40 million in government satellite programs and $ 30 million in ground systems activities . operating profit for the segment increased by 4% ( 4 % ) in 2001 compared to 2000 . operating profit increased in 2001 due to a $ 35 million increase in government space partially offset by higher year-over-year losses of $ 20 million in commercial space . in government space , operating profit increased due to the impact of higher volume and improved performance in ground systems and government satellite programs . the year- to-year comparison of operating profit was not affected by the $ 50 million favorable titan iv adjustment recorded in 2000 discussed above , due to a $ 55 million charge related to a more conservative assessment of government launch vehi- cle programs that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000 . in commercial space , decreased operating profit of $ 15 mil- lion on launch vehicles more than offset lower losses on satel- lite manufacturing activities . the commercial launch vehicle operating results included $ 60 million in higher charges for market and pricing pressures when compared to 2000 . these negative adjustments were partially offset by $

compared to 2001 . the increase in sales for 2002 resulted from higher volume in government space of $ 370 million and commercial space of $ 180 million . in government space , increases of $ 470 million in government satellite programs and $ 130 million in ground systems activities more than offset volume declines of $ 175 million on government launch vehi- cles and $ 55 million on strategic missile programs . the increase in commercial space sales is primarily attributable to an increase in launch vehicle activities , with nine commercial launches during 2002 compared to six in 2001 . net sales for the segment decreased by 7% ( 7 % ) in 2001 com- pared to 2000 . the decrease in sales for 2001 resulted from volume declines in commercial space of $ 560 million , which more than offset increases in government space of $ 60 million . in commercial space , sales declined due to volume reductions of $ 480 million in commercial launch vehicle activities and $ 80 million in satellite programs . there were six launches in 2001 compared to 14 launches in 2000 . the increase in gov- ernment space resulted from a combined increase of $ 230 mil- lion related to higher volume on government satellite programs and ground systems activities . these increases were partially offset by a $ 110 million decrease related to volume declines in government launch vehicle activity , primarily due to program maturities , and by $ 50 million due to the absence in 2001 of favorable adjustments recorded on the titan iv pro- gram in 2000 . operating profit for the segment increased 23% ( 23 % ) in 2002 as compared to 2001 , mainly driven by the commercial space business . reduced losses in commercial space during 2002 resulted in increased operating profit of $ 90 million when compared to 2001 . commercial satellite manufacturing losses declined $ 100 million in 2002 as operating performance improved and satellite deliveries increased . in the first quarter of 2001 , a $ 40 million loss provision was recorded on certain commercial satellite manufacturing contracts . due to the industry-wide oversupply and deterioration of pricing in the commercial launch market , financial results on commercial launch vehicles continue to be challenging . during 2002 , this trend led to a decline in operating profit of $ 10 million on commercial launch vehicles when compared to 2001 . this decrease was primarily due to lower profitability of $ 55 mil- lion on the three additional launches in the current year , addi- tional charges of $ 60 million ( net of a favorable contract adjustment of $ 20 million ) for market and pricing pressures and included the adverse effect of a $ 35 million adjustment for commercial launch vehicle contract settlement costs . the 2001 results also included charges for market and pricing pressures , which reduced that year 2019s operating profit by $ 145 million . the $ 10 million decrease in government space 2019s operating profit for the year is primarily due to the reduced volume on government launch vehicles and strategic missile programs , which combined to decrease operating profit by $ 80 million , partially offset by increases of $ 40 million in government satellite programs and $ 30 million in ground systems activities . operating profit for the segment increased by 4% ( 4 % ) in 2001 compared to 2000 . operating profit increased in 2001 due to a $ 35 million increase in government space partially offset by higher year-over-year losses of $ 20 million in commercial space . in government space , operating profit increased due to the impact of higher volume and improved performance in ground systems and government satellite programs . the year- to-year comparison of operating profit was not affected by the $ 50 million favorable titan iv adjustment recorded in 2000 discussed above , due to a $ 55 million charge related to a more conservative assessment of government launch vehi- cle programs that was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2000 . in commercial space , decreased operating profit of $ 15 mil- lion on launch vehicles more than offset lower losses on satel- lite manufacturing activities . the commercial launch vehicle operating results included $ 60 million in higher charges for market and pricing pressures when compared to 2000 . these negative adjustments were partially offset by $ 50 million of favorable contract adjustments on certain launch vehicle con- tracts . commercial satellite manufacturing losses decreased slightly from 2000 and included the adverse impact of a $ 40 million loss provision recorded in the first quarter of 2001 for certain commercial satellite contracts related to schedule and technical issues. .

the goldman sachs group , inc . and subsidiaries management 2019s discussion and analysis the risk committee of the board and the risk governance committee ( through delegated authority from the firmwide risk committee ) approve market risk limits and sub-limits at firmwide , business and product levels , consistent with our risk appetite statement . in addition , market risk management ( through delegated authority from the risk governance committee ) sets market risk limits and sub-limits at certain product and desk levels . the purpose of the firmwide limits is to assist senior management in controlling our overall risk profile . sub-limits are set below the approved level of risk limits . sub-limits set the desired maximum amount of exposure that may be managed by any particular business on a day-to-day basis without additional levels of senior management approval , effectively leaving day-to-day decisions to individual desk managers and traders . accordingly , sub-limits are a management tool designed to ensure appropriate escalation rather than to establish maximum risk tolerance . sub-limits also distribute risk among various businesses in a manner that is consistent with their level of activity and client demand , taking into account the relative performance of each area . our market risk limits are monitored daily by market risk management , which is responsible for identifying and escalating , on a timely basis , instances where limits have been exceeded . when a risk limit has been exceeded ( e.g. , due to positional changes or changes in market conditions , such as increased volatilities or changes in correlations ) , it is escalated to senior managers in market risk management and/or the appropriate risk committee . such instances are remediated by an inventory reduction and/or a temporary or permanent increase to the risk limit . model review and validation our var and stress testing models are regularly reviewed by market risk management and enhanced in order to incorporate changes in the composition of positions included in our market risk measures , as well as variations in market conditions . prior to implementing significant changes to our assumptions and/or models , model risk management performs model validations . significant changes to our var and stress testing models are reviewed with our chief risk officer and chief financial officer , and approved by the firmwide risk committee . see 201cmodel risk management 201d for further information about the review and validation of these models . systems we have made a significant investment in technology to monitor market risk including : 2030 an independent calculation of var and stress measures ; 2030 risk measures calculated at individual position levels ; 2030 attribution of risk measures to individual risk factors of each position ; 2030 the ability to report many different views of the risk measures ( e.g. , by desk , business , product type or entity ) ; 2030 the ability to produce ad hoc analyses in a timely manner . metrics we analyze var at the firmwide level and a variety of more detailed levels , including by risk category , business , and region . the tables below present average daily var and period-end var , as well as the high and low var for the period . diversification effect in the tables below represents the difference between total var and the sum of the vars for the four risk categories . this effect arises because the four market risk categories are not perfectly correlated . the table below presents average daily var by risk category. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>$ in millions</td><td>year ended december 2017</td><td>year ended december 2016</td><td>year ended december 2015</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>interest rates</td><td>$ 40</td><td>$ 45</td><td>$ 47</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>equity prices</td><td>24</td><td>25</td><td>26</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>currency rates</td><td>12</td><td>21</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>commodity prices</td><td>13</td><td>17</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>diversification effect</td><td>-35 ( 35 )</td><td>-45 ( 45 )</td><td>-47 ( 47 )</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>total</td><td>$ 54</td><td>$ 63</td><td>$ 76</td></tr></table> our average daily var decreased to $ 54 million in 2017 from $ 63 million in 2016 , due to reductions across all risk categories , partially offset by a decrease in the diversification effect . the overall decrease was primarily due to lower levels of volatility . our average daily var decreased to $ 63 million in 2016 from $ 76 million in 2015 , due to reductions across all risk categories , partially offset by a decrease in the diversification effect . the overall decrease was primarily due to reduced exposures . goldman sachs 2017 form 10-k 91 .

the goldman sachs group , inc . and subsidiaries management 2019s discussion and analysis the risk committee of the board and the risk governance committee ( through delegated authority from the firmwide risk committee ) approve market risk limits and sub-limits at firmwide , business and product levels , consistent with our risk appetite statement . in addition , market risk management ( through delegated authority from the risk governance committee ) sets market risk limits and sub-limits at certain product and desk levels . the purpose of the firmwide limits is to assist senior management in controlling our overall risk profile . sub-limits are set below the approved level of risk limits . sub-limits set the desired maximum amount of exposure that may be managed by any particular business on a day-to-day basis without additional levels of senior management approval , effectively leaving day-to-day decisions to individual desk managers and traders . accordingly , sub-limits are a management tool designed to ensure appropriate escalation rather than to establish maximum risk tolerance . sub-limits also distribute risk among various businesses in a manner that is consistent with their level of activity and client demand , taking into account the relative performance of each area . our market risk limits are monitored daily by market risk management , which is responsible for identifying and escalating , on a timely basis , instances where limits have been exceeded . when a risk limit has been exceeded ( e.g. , due to positional changes or changes in market conditions , such as increased volatilities or changes in correlations ) , it is escalated to senior managers in market risk management and/or the appropriate risk committee . such instances are remediated by an inventory reduction and/or a temporary or permanent increase to the risk limit . model review and validation our var and stress testing models are regularly reviewed by market risk management and enhanced in order to incorporate changes in the composition of positions included in our market risk measures , as well as variations in market conditions . prior to implementing significant changes to our assumptions and/or models , model risk management performs model validations . significant changes to our var and stress testing models are reviewed with our chief risk officer and chief financial officer , and approved by the firmwide risk committee . see 201cmodel risk management 201d for further information about the review and validation of these models . systems we have made a significant investment in technology to monitor market risk including : 2030 an independent calculation of var and stress measures ; 2030 risk measures calculated at individual position levels ; 2030 attribution of risk measures to individual risk factors of each position ; 2030 the ability to report many different views of the risk measures ( e.g. , by desk , business , product type or entity ) ; 2030 the ability to produce ad hoc analyses in a timely manner . metrics we analyze var at the firmwide level and a variety of more detailed levels , including by risk category , business , and region . the tables below present average daily var and period-end var , as well as the high and low var for the period . diversification effect in the tables below represents the difference between total var and the sum of the vars for the four risk categories . this effect arises because the four market risk categories are not perfectly correlated . the table below presents average daily var by risk category. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>$ in millions</td><td>year ended december 2017</td><td>year ended december 2016</td><td>year ended december 2015</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>interest rates</td><td>$ 40</td><td>$ 45</td><td>$ 47</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>equity prices</td><td>24</td><td>25</td><td>26</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>currency rates</td><td>12</td><td>21</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>commodity prices</td><td>13</td><td>17</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>diversification effect</td><td>-35 ( 35 )</td><td>-45 ( 45 )</td><td>-47 ( 47 )</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>total</td><td>$ 54</td><td>$ 63</td><td>$ 76</td></tr></table> our average daily var decreased to $ 54 million in 2017 from $ 63 million in 2016 , due to reductions across all risk categories , partially offset by a decrease in the diversification effect . the overall decrease was primarily due to lower levels of volatility . our average daily var decreased to $ 63 million in 2016 from $ 76 million in 2015 , due to reductions across all risk categories , partially offset by a decrease in the diversification effect . the overall decrease was primarily due to reduced exposures . goldman sachs 2017 form 10-k 91 .
