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. .

to determine stock-based compensation expense , the grant- date fair value is applied to the options granted with a reduction for estimated forfeitures . we recognize compensation expense for stock options on a straight-line basis over the pro rata vesting period . at december 31 , 2011 and 2010 , options for 12337000 and 13397000 shares of common stock were exercisable at a weighted-average price of $ 106.08 and $ 118.21 , respectively . the total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2012 , 2011 and 2010 was $ 37 million , $ 4 million and $ 5 million . cash received from option exercises under all incentive plans for 2012 , 2011 and 2010 was approximately $ 118 million , $ 41 million and $ 15 million , respectively . the actual tax benefit realized for tax deduction purposes

activity . as with past exercise activity , we currently intend to utilize primarily treasury stock for any future stock option exercises . awards granted to non-employee directors in 2012 , 2011 and 2010 include 25620 , 27090 and 29040 deferred stock units , respectively , awarded under the outside directors deferred stock unit plan . a deferred stock unit is a phantom share of our common stock , which requires liability accounting treatment until such awards are paid to the participants as cash . as there are no vesting or service requirements on these awards , total compensation expense is recognized in full on awarded deferred stock units on the date of grant . incentive/performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards the fair value of nonvested incentive/performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards is initially determined based on prices not less than the market value of our common stock price on the date of grant . the value of certain incentive/ performance unit share awards is subsequently remeasured based on the achievement of one or more financial and other performance goals generally over a three-year period . the personnel and compensation committee of the board of directors approves the final award payout with respect to incentive/performance unit share awards . restricted stock/unit awards have various vesting periods generally ranging from 36 months to 60 months . beginning in 2012 , we incorporated several risk-related performance changes to certain incentive compensation programs . in addition to achieving certain financial performance metrics relative to our peers , the final payout amount will be subject to a negative adjustment if pnc fails to meet certain risk-related performance metrics as specified in the award agreement . however , the p&cc has the discretion to reduce any or all of this negative adjustment under certain circumstances . these awards have a three-year performance period and are payable in either stock or a combination of stock and cash . additionally , performance-based restricted share units were granted in 2012 to certain of our executives in lieu of stock options , with generally the same terms and conditions as the 2011 awards of the same . the weighted-average grant-date fair value of incentive/ performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards granted in 2012 , 2011 and 2010 was $ 60.68 , $ 63.25 and $ 54.59 per share , respectively . we recognize compensation expense for such awards ratably over the corresponding vesting and/or

united parcel service , inc . and subsidiaries management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations liquidity and capital resources as of december 31 , 2017 , we had $ 4.069 billion in cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities . we believe that our current cash position , access to the long-term debt capital markets and cash flow generated from operations should be adequate not only for operating requirements but also to enable us to complete our capital expenditure programs and to fund dividend payments , share repurchases and long-term debt payments through the next several years . in addition , we have funds available from our commercial paper program and the ability to obtain alternative sources of financing . we regularly evaluate opportunities to optimize our capital structure , including through issuances of debt to refinance existing debt and to fund ongoing cash needs . cash flows from operating activities the following is a summary of the significant sources ( uses ) of cash from operating activities ( amounts in millions ) : . <table

income taxes , provisions for uncollectible accounts , pension and postretirement benefit expense , stock compensation expense and other non-cash items . cash from operating activities remained strong throughout 2015 to 2017 . most of the variability in operating cash flows during the 2015 to 2017 time period relates to the funding of our company-sponsored pension and postretirement benefit plans ( and related cash tax deductions ) . except for discretionary or accelerated fundings of our plans , contributions to our company- sponsored pension plans have largely varied based on whether any minimum funding requirements are present for individual pension plans . 2022 we made discretionary contributions to our three primary company-sponsored u.s . pension plans totaling $ 7.291 , $ 2.461 and $ 1.030 billion in 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively . 2022 the remaining contributions from 2015 to 2017 were largely due to contributions to our international pension plans and u.s . postretirement medical benefit plans . apart from the transactions described above , operating cash flow was impacted by changes in our working capital position , payments for income taxes and changes in hedge margin payables and receivables . cash payments for income taxes were $ 1.559 , $ 2.064 and $ 1.913 billion for 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively , and were primarily impacted by the timing of current tax deductions . the net hedge margin collateral ( paid ) /received from derivative counterparties was $ ( 732 ) , $ ( 142 ) and $ 170 million during 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively , due to settlements and changes in the fair value of the derivative contracts used in our currency and interest rate hedging programs . as of december 31 , 2017 , the total of our worldwide holdings of cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities were $ 4.069 billion , of which approximately $ 1.800 billion was held by foreign subsidiaries . the amount of cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our u.s . and foreign subsidiaries fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors , including the timing of cash receipts and disbursements in the normal course of business . cash provided by operating activities in the u.s . continues to be our primary source of funds to finance domestic operating needs , capital expenditures , share repurchases and dividend payments to shareowners . as a result of the tax act , all cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries are generally available for distribution to the u.s . without any u.s . federal income taxes . any such distributions may be subject to foreign withholding and u.s . state taxes . when amounts earned by foreign subsidiaries are expected to be indefinitely reinvested , no accrual for taxes is provided. .
