goodwill in accordance with asc 350, intangibles 2014goodwill and other (asc 350), the company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. events that could indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate, operational performance of the business or key personnel, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. in performing the impairment test, the company utilizes the two-step approach prescribed under asc 350. the first step requires a comparison of the carrying value of each reporting unit to its estimated fair value. to estimate the fair value of its reporting units for step 1, the company primarily utilizes the income approach. the income approach is based on a dcf analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. assumptions used in the dcf require significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. the forecasted cash flows are based on the company 2019s most recent budget and strategic plan and for years beyond this period, the company 2019s estimates are based on assumed growth rates expected as of the measurement date. the company believes its assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. the discount rates used are intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections and are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital (201cwacc 201d) of market participants relative to each respective reporting unit. the market approach considers comparable market data based on multiples of revenue or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (201cebitda 201d) and is primarily used as a corroborative analysis to the results of the dcf analysis. the company believes its assumptions used to determine the fair value of its reporting units are reasonable. if different assumptions were used, particularly with respect to forecasted cash flows, terminal values, waccs, or market multiples, different estimates of fair value may result and there could be the potential that an impairment charge could result. actual operating results and the related cash flows of the reporting units could differ from the estimated operating results and related cash flows. if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the company is required to perform the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. the second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit 2019s goodwill to its carrying value. the implied fair value of goodwill is derived by performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation for each reporting unit as of the measurement date and allocating the reporting unit 2019s estimated fair value to its assets and liabilities. the residual amount from performing this allocation represents the implied fair value of goodwill. to the extent this amount is below the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded. the company conducted its fiscal 2015 impairment test on the first day of the fourth quarter, and as noted above used dcf and market approaches to estimate the fair value of its reporting units as of june 28, 2015, and ultimately used the fair value determined by the dcf approach in making its impairment test conclusions. the company believes it used reasonable estimates and assumptions about future revenue, cost projections, cash flows, market multiples and discount rates as of the measurement date. as a result of completing step 1, all of the company's reporting units had fair values exceeding their carrying values, and as such, step 2 of the impairment test was not required. for illustrative purposes, had the fair value of each of the reporting units that passed step 1 been lower than 10% (10%), all of the reporting units would still have passed step 1 of the goodwill impairment test. at september 26, 2015, the company believes that each reporting unit, with goodwill aggregating 2.81 billion, was not at risk of failing step 1 of the goodwill impairment test based on the current forecasts. the company conducted its fiscal 2014 annual impairment test on the first day of the fourth quarter, and as noted above used dcf and market approaches to estimate the fair value of its reporting units as of june 29, 2014, and ultimately used the fair value determined by the dcf approach in making its impairment test conclusions. the company believes it used reasonable estimates and assumptions about future revenue, cost projections, cash flows, market multiples and discount rates as source: hologic inc, 10-k, november 19, 2015 powered by morningstar ae document research 2120 the

the net unrealized amounts presented above excluded the remaining net unrealized losses related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these unrealized losses related to reclassifications totaled $303 million, or $189 million after-tax, and $523 million, or $317 million after-tax, as of december 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, or oci. refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8. the decline in these remaining after-tax unrealized losses related to reclassifications from december 31, 2010 to december 31, 2011 resulted primarily from amortization. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recorded in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recorded in oci to the extent that we do not intend to sell the security. our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation, more fully described in note 3, of economic and security-specific factors. such factors are based on estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular, the credit component that would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. given the exposure of our investment securities portfolio, particularly mortgage- and asset-backed securities, to residential mortgage and other consumer credit risks, the performance of the u.s. housing market is a significant driver of the portfolio 2019s credit performance. as such, our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment relies to a significant extent on our estimates of trends in national housing prices. generally, indices that measure trends in national housing prices are published in arrears. as of september 30, 2011, national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national home price index, had declined by approximately 31.3% (31.3%) peak-to-current. overall, management 2019s expectation, for purposes of its evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment as of december 31, 2011, was that housing prices would decline by approximately 35% (35%) peak-to-trough. the performance of certain mortgage products and vintages of securities continues to deteriorate. in addition, management continues to believe that housing prices will decline further as indicated above. the combination of these factors has led to an increase in management 2019s overall loss expectations. our investment portfolio continues to be sensitive to management 2019s estimates of future cumulative losses. ultimately, other-than- temporary impairment is based on specific cusip-level detailed analysis of the unique characteristics of each security. in addition, we perform sensitivity analysis across each significant product type within the non-agency u.s. residential mortgage-backed portfolio. we estimate, for example, that other-than-temporary impairment of the investment portfolio could increase by approximately $10 million to $50 million, if national housing prices were to decline by 37% (37%) to 39% (39%) peak-to-trough, compared to management 2019s expectation of 35% (35%) described above. this sensitivity estimate is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of housing prices and the timing of defaults. to the extent that such factors differ substantially from management 2019s current expectations, resulting loss estimates may differ materially from those stated. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in 2011, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining.

rental expense for operating leases was approximately $66.9 million, $57.2 million and $49.0 million during the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. in connection with the acquisitions of several businesses, we entered into agreements with several sellers of those businesses, some of whom became stockholders as a result of those acquisitions, for the lease of certain properties used in our operations. typical lease terms under these agreements include an initial term of five years, with three to five five-year renewal options and purchase options at various times throughout the lease periods. we also maintain the right of first refusal concerning the sale of the leased property. lease payments to an employee who became an officer of the company after the acquisition of his business were approximately $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.9 million during each of the years ended december 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. we guarantee the residual values of the majority of our truck and equipment operating leases. the residual values decline over the lease terms to a defined percentage of original cost. in the event the lessor does not realize the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be responsible for a portion of the shortfall. similarly, if the lessor realizes more than the residual value when a piece of equipment is sold, we would be paid the amount realized over the residual value. had we terminated all of our operating leases subject to these guarantees at december 31, 2010, the guaranteed residual value would have totaled approximately $31.4 million. we have not recorded a liability for the guaranteed residual value of equipment under operating leases as the recovery on disposition of the equipment under the leases is expected to approximate the guaranteed residual value. litigation and related contingencies in december 2005 and may 2008, ford global technologies, llc filed complaints with the international trade commission against us and others alleging that certain aftermarket parts imported into the u.s. infringed on ford design patents. the parties settled these matters in april 2009 pursuant to a settlement arrangement that expires in september 2011. pursuant to the settlement, we (and our designees) became the sole distributor in the u.s. of aftermarket automotive parts that correspond to ford collision parts that are covered by a u.s. design patent. we have paid ford an upfront fee for these rights and will pay a royalty for each such part we sell. the amortization of the upfront fee and the royalty expenses are reflected in cost of goods sold on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. we also have certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims and other commitments and are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. we currently expect that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows..

connection with sales of businesses, property, equipment, forestlands and other assets, interna- tional paper commonly makes representations and warranties relating to such businesses or assets, and may agree to indemnify buyers with respect to tax and environmental liabilities, breaches of representations and warranties, and other matters. where liabilities for such matters are determined to be probable and subject to reasonable estimation, accrued liabilities are recorded at the time of sale as a cost of the transaction. environmental proceedings international paper has been named as a potentially responsible party in environmental remediation actions under various federal and state laws, includ- ing the comprehensive environmental response, compensation and liability act (cercla). many of these proceedings involve the cleanup of hazardous substances at large commercial landfills that received waste from many different sources. while joint and several liability is authorized under cercla and equivalent state laws, as a practical matter, liability for cercla cleanups is typically allocated among the many potential responsible parties. remedial costs are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they become probable and reasonably estimable. international paper has estimated the probable liability associated with these matters to be approximately $92 million in the aggregate at december 31, 2012. one of the matters referenced above is a closed wood treating facility located in cass lake, minneso- ta. during 2009, in connection with an environmental site remediation action under cercla, international paper submitted to the epa a site remediation feasi- bility study. in june 2011, the epa selected and published a proposed soil remedy at the site with an estimated cost of $46 million. the overall remediation reserve for the site is currently $48 mil- lion to address this selection of an alternative for the soil remediation component of the overall site remedy. in october 2011, the epa released a public statement indicating that the final soil remedy deci- sion would be delayed. in the unlikely event that the epa changes its proposed soil remedy and approves instead a more expensive clean-up alternative, the remediation costs could be material, and sig- nificantly higher than amounts currently recorded. in october 2012, the natural resource trustees for this site provided notice to international paper and other potentially responsible parties of their intent to per- form a natural resource damage assessment. it is premature to predict the outcome of the assessment or to estimate a loss or range of loss, if any, which may be incurred. in addition to the above matters, other remediation costs typically associated with the cleanup of hazardous substances at the company 2019s current, closed or formerly-owned facilities, and recorded as liabilities in the balance sheet, totaled approximately $46 million at december 31, 2012. other than as described above, completion of required remedial actions is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. the company is a potentially responsible party with respect to the allied paper, inc./portage creek/ kalamazoo river superfund site (kalamazoo river superfund site) in michigan. the epa asserts that the site is contaminated primarily by pcbs as a result of discharges from various paper mills located along the river, including a paper mill formerly owned by st. regis. the company is a successor in interest to st. regis. international paper has not received any orders from the epa with respect to the site and is in the process of collecting information from the epa and other parties relative to the kalamazoo river superfund site to evaluate the extent of its liability, if any, with respect to the site. accordingly, it is pre- mature to estimate a loss or range of loss with respect to this site. also in connection with the kalamazoo river superfund site, the company was named as a defendant by georgia-pacific consumer products lp, fort james corporation and georgia pacific llc in a contribution and cost recovery action for alleged pollution at the kalamazoo river super- fund site. the suit seeks contribution under cercla for $79 million in costs purportedly expended by plaintiffs as of the filing of the com- plaint, and for future remediation costs. the suit alleges that a mill, during the time it was allegedly owned and operated by st. regis, discharged pcb contaminated solids and paper residuals resulting from paper de-inking and recycling. also named as defendants in the suit are ncr corporation and weyerhaeuser company. in mid-2011, the suit was.

the increase in total operating income was driven by the following: 2022 operating income in our north america operating segment increased $88.6 million to $461.0 million in 2015 from $372.4 million in 2014 primarily due to the items discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating income in our emea operating segment increased $14.9 million to $3.1 million in 2015 from a loss of $11.8 million in 2014 primarily due to sales growth discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating income in our asia-pacific operating segment increased $14.5 million to $36.4 million in 2015 from $21.9 million in 2014 primarily due to sales growth discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating loss in our latin america operating segment increased $15.2 million to $30.6 million in 2015 from $15.4 million in 2014 primarily due to increased investments to support growth in the region and the economic challenges in brazil during the period. this increase in operating loss was offset by sales growth discussed above. 2022 operating loss in our connected fitness segment increased $48.2 million to $61.3 million in 2015 from $13.1 million in 2014 primarily due to investments to support growth in our connected fitness business, including the impact of our two connected fitness acquisitions in 2015. these acquisitions contributed $23.6 million to the operating loss for the connected fitness segment in 2015. seasonality historically, we have recognized a majority of our net revenues and a significant portion of our income from operations in the last two quarters of the year, driven primarily by increased sales volume of our products during the fall selling season, including our higher priced cold weather products, along with a larger proportion of higher margin direct to consumer sales. seasonality could have an impact on the timing of accruals if the sales in the last two quarters of the year do not materialize. the level of our working capital generally reflects the seasonality and growth in our business. we generally expect inventory, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses to be higher in the second and third quarters in preparation for the fall selling season..

2016 outlook f0b7 safety 2013 operating a safe railroad benefits all our constituents: our employees, customers, shareholders and the communities we serve. we will continue using a multi-faceted approach to safety, utilizing technology, risk assessment, quality control, training and employee engagement, and targeted capital investments. we will continue using and expanding the deployment of total safety culture and courage to care throughout our operations, which allows us to identify and implement best practices for employee and operational safety. we will continue our efforts to increase detection of rail defects; improve or close crossings; and educate the public and law enforcement agencies about crossing safety through a combination of our own programs (including risk assessment strategies), industry programs and local community activities across our network. f0b7 network operations 2013 in 2016, we will continue to align resources with customer demand, continue to improve network performance, and maintain our surge capability. f0b7 fuel prices 2013 with the dramatic drop in fuel prices during 2015, fuel price projections continue to be uncertain in the current environment. we again could see volatile fuel prices during the year, as they are sensitive to global and u.s. domestic demand, refining capacity, geopolitical events, weather conditions and other factors. as prices fluctuate, there will be a timing impact on earnings, as our fuel surcharge programs trail fluctuations in fuel price by approximately two months. continuing lower fuel prices could have a positive impact on the economy by increasing consumer discretionary spending that potentially could increase demand for various consumer products that we transport. alternatively, lower fuel prices will likely have a negative impact on other commodities such as coal, frac sand and crude oil shipments. f0b7 capital plan 2013 in 2016, we expect our capital plan to be approximately $3.75 billion, including expenditures for ptc, 230 locomotives and 450 freight cars. the capital plan may be revised if business conditions warrant or if new laws or regulations affect our ability to generate sufficient returns on these investments. (see further discussion in this item 7 under liquidity and capital resources 2013 capital plan.) f0b7 financial expectations 2013 economic conditions in many of our market sectors continue to drive uncertainty with respect to our volume levels. we expect volumes to be down slightly in 2016 compared to 2015, but will depend on the overall economy and market conditions. the strong u.s. dollar and historic low commodity prices could also drive continued volatility. one of the biggest uncertainties is the outlook for energy markets, which will bring both challenges and opportunities. in the current environment, we expect continued margin improvement driven by continued pricing opportunities, ongoing productivity initiatives, and the ability to leverage our resources and strengthen our franchise. over the longer term, we expect the overall u.s. economy to continue to improve at a modest pace, with some markets outperforming others..

Please provide answers honestly and succinctly. | 2011 compared to 2010 mst 2019s net sales for 2011 decreased $311 million, or 4% (4%), compared to 2010. the decrease was attributable to decreased volume of approximately $390 million for certain ship and aviation system programs (primarily maritime patrol aircraft and ptds) and approximately $75 million for training and logistics solutions programs. partially offsetting these decreases was higher sales of about $165 million from production on the lcs program. mst 2019s operating profit for 2011 decreased $68 million, or 10% (10%), compared to 2010. the decrease was attributable to decreased operating profit of approximately $55 million as a result of increased reserves for contract cost matters on various ship and aviation system programs (including the terminated presidential helicopter program) and approximately $40 million due to lower volume and increased reserves on training and logistics solutions. partially offsetting these decreases was higher operating profit of approximately $30 million in 2011 primarily due to the recognition of reserves on certain undersea systems programs in 2010. adjustments not related to volume, including net profit rate adjustments described above, were approximately $55 million lower in 2011 compared to 2010. backlog backlog increased in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to increased orders on ship and aviation system programs (primarily mh-60 and lcs), partially offset decreased orders and higher sales volume on integrated warfare systems and sensors programs (primarily aegis). backlog decreased slightly in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to higher sales volume on various integrated warfare systems and sensors programs. trends we expect mst 2019s net sales to decline in 2013 in the low single digit percentage range as compared to 2012 due to the completion of ptds deliveries in 2012 and expected lower volume on training services programs. operating profit and margin are expected to increase slightly from 2012 levels primarily due to anticipated improved contract performance. space systems our space systems business segment is engaged in the research and development, design, engineering, and production of satellites, strategic and defensive missile systems, and space transportation systems. space systems is also responsible for various classified systems and services in support of vital national security systems. space systems 2019 major programs include the space-based infrared system (sbirs), advanced extremely high frequency (aehf) system, mobile user objective system (muos), global positioning satellite (gps) iii system, geostationary operational environmental satellite r-series (goes-r), trident ii d5 fleet ballistic missile, and orion. operating results for our space systems business segment include our equity interests in united launch alliance (ula), which provides expendable launch services for the u.s. government, united space alliance (usa), which provided processing activities for the space shuttle program and is winding down following the completion of the last space shuttle mission in 2011, and a joint venture that manages the u.k. 2019s atomic weapons establishment program. space systems 2019 operating results included the following (in millions):.

the estimated future payments for our postretirement benefit plans are before any estimated federal subsidies expected to be received under the medicare prescription drug, improvement and modernization act of 2003. federal subsidies are estimated to range from $0.5 in 2010 to $0.6 in 2014 and are estimated to be $2.4 for the period 2015-2019. savings plans we sponsor defined contribution plans (the 201csavings plans 201d) that cover substantially all domestic employees. the savings plans permit participants to make contributions on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis and allows participants to choose among various investment alternatives. we match a portion of participant contributions based upon their years of service. amounts expensed for the savings plans for 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $35.1, $29.6 and $31.4, respectively. expense includes a discretionary company contribution of $3.8, $4.0 and $4.9 offset by participant forfeitures of $2.7, $7.8, $6.0 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. in addition, we maintain defined contribution plans in various foreign countries and contributed $25.0, $28.7 and $26.7 to these plans in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. deferred compensation and benefit arrangements we have deferred compensation arrangements which (i) permit certain of our key officers and employees to defer a portion of their salary or incentive compensation, or (ii) require us to contribute an amount to the participant 2019s account. the arrangements typically provide that the participant will receive the amounts deferred plus interest upon attaining certain conditions, such as completing a certain number of years of service or upon retirement or termination. as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, the deferred compensation liability balance was $100.3 and $107.6, respectively. amounts expensed for deferred compensation arrangements in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $11.6, $5.7 and $11.9, respectively. we have deferred benefit arrangements with certain key officers and employees that provide participants with an annual payment, payable when the participant attains a certain age and after the participant 2019s employment has terminated. the deferred benefit liability was $178.2 and $182.1 as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. amounts expensed for deferred benefit arrangements in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $12.0, $14.9 and $15.5, respectively. we have purchased life insurance policies on participants 2019 lives to assist in the funding of the related deferred compensation and deferred benefit liabilities. as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, the cash surrender value of these policies was $119.4 and $100.2, respectively. in addition to the life insurance policies, certain investments are held for the purpose of paying the deferred compensation and deferred benefit liabilities. these investments, along with the life insurance policies, are held in a separate revocable trust for the purpose of paying the deferred compensation and the deferred benefit.

the net unrealized amounts presented above excluded the remaining net unrealized losses related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these unrealized losses related to reclassifications totaled $303 million, or $189 million after-tax, and $523 million, or $317 million after-tax, as of december 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, or oci. refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8. the decline in these remaining after-tax unrealized losses related to reclassifications from december 31, 2010 to december 31, 2011 resulted primarily from amortization. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recorded in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recorded in oci to the extent that we do not intend to sell the security. our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation, more fully described in note 3, of economic and security-specific factors. such factors are based on estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular, the credit component that would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. given the exposure of our investment securities portfolio, particularly mortgage- and asset-backed securities, to residential mortgage and other consumer credit risks, the performance of the u.s. housing market is a significant driver of the portfolio 2019s credit performance. as such, our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment relies to a significant extent on our estimates of trends in national housing prices. generally, indices that measure trends in national housing prices are published in arrears. as of september 30, 2011, national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national home price index, had declined by approximately 31.3% (31.3%) peak-to-current. overall, management 2019s expectation, for purposes of its evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment as of december 31, 2011, was that housing prices would decline by approximately 35% (35%) peak-to-trough. the performance of certain mortgage products and vintages of securities continues to deteriorate. in addition, management continues to believe that housing prices will decline further as indicated above. the combination of these factors has led to an increase in management 2019s overall loss expectations. our investment portfolio continues to be sensitive to management 2019s estimates of future cumulative losses. ultimately, other-than- temporary impairment is based on specific cusip-level detailed analysis of the unique characteristics of each security. in addition, we perform sensitivity analysis across each significant product type within the non-agency u.s. residential mortgage-backed portfolio. we estimate, for example, that other-than-temporary impairment of the investment portfolio could increase by approximately $10 million to $50 million, if national housing prices were to decline by 37% (37%) to 39% (39%) peak-to-trough, compared to management 2019s expectation of 35% (35%) described above. this sensitivity estimate is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of housing prices and the timing of defaults. to the extent that such factors differ substantially from management 2019s current expectations, resulting loss estimates may differ materially from those stated. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in 2011, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining.

2018 | 3000000 | 2.61
if the national u.s. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the department of energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty. if the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counterparty. the fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). the aggregate fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges as of december 31, 2016 and 2015 were current liabilities of $2.7 million and $37.8 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. the ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in a gain of $0.8 million for the year ended december 31, 2016, and a loss of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended december 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and have been recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. total gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for fuel hedges (the effective portion) was $20.7 million, $(2.0) million and $(24.2) million, for the years ended december 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. we classify cash inflows and outflows from our fuel hedges within operating activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. recycling commodity hedges revenue from the sale of recycled commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated containers and old newsprint. from time to time we use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. during 2016, we entered into multiple agreements related to the forecasted occ sales. the agreements qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of certain forecasted recycling commodity sales (commodity hedges). we entered into costless collar agreements on forecasted sales of occ. the agreements involve combining a purchased put option giving us the right to sell occ at an established floor strike price with a written call option obligating us to deliver occ at an established cap strike price. the puts and calls have the same settlement dates, are net settled in cash on such dates and have the same terms to expiration. the contemporaneous combination of options resulted in no net premium for us and represents costless collars. under these agreements, we will make or receive no payments as long as the settlement price is between the floor price and cap price; however, if the settlement price is above the cap, we will pay the counterparty an amount equal to the excess of the settlement price over the cap times the monthly volumes hedged. if the settlement price is below the floor, the counterparty will pay us the deficit of the settlement price below the floor times the monthly volumes hedged. the objective of these agreements is to reduce variability of cash flows for forecasted sales of occ between two designated strike prices..

growth as a result of retail share gains. in the cigarette category, marlboro's 2012 retail share performance continued to benefit from the brand-building initiatives supporting marlboro's new architecture. marlboro's retail share for 2012 increased 0.6 share points versus 2011 to 42.6% (42.6%). in january 2013, pm usa expanded distribution of marlboro southern cut nationally. marlboro southern cut is part of the marlboro gold family. pm usa's 2012 retail share increased 0.8 share points versus 2011, reflecting retail share gains by marlboro and by l&m in discount. these gains were partially offset by share losses on other portfolio brands. in the machine-made large cigars category, black & mild's retail share for 2012 increased 0.5 share points. the brand benefited from new untipped cigarillo varieties that were introduced in 2011, black & mild seasonal offerings and the 2012 third-quarter introduction of black & mild jazz untipped cigarillos into select geographies. in december 2012, middleton announced plans to launch nationally black & mild jazz cigars in both plastic tip and wood tip in the first quarter of 2013. the following discussion compares smokeable products segment results for the year ended december 31, 2011 with the year ended december 31, 2010. net revenues, which include excise taxes billed to customers, decreased $221 million (1.0% (1.0%)) due to lower shipment volume ($1051 million), partially offset by higher net pricing ($830 million), which includes higher promotional investments. operating companies income increased $119 million (2.1% (2.1%)), due primarily to higher net pricing ($831 million), which includes higher promotional investments, marketing, administration, and research savings reflecting cost reduction initiatives ($198 million) and 2010 implementation costs related to the closure of the cabarrus, north carolina manufacturing facility ($75 million), partially offset by lower volume ($527 million), higher asset impairment and exit costs due primarily to the 2011 cost reduction program ($158 million), higher per unit settlement charges ($120 million), higher charges related to tobacco and health judgments ($87 million) and higher fda user fees ($73 million). for 2011, total smokeable products shipment volume decreased 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010. pm usa's reported domestic cigarettes shipment volume declined 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010 due primarily to retail share losses and one less shipping day, partially offset by changes in trade inventories. after adjusting for changes in trade inventories and one less shipping day, pm usa's 2011 domestic cigarette shipment volume was estimated to be down approximately 4% (4%) versus 2010. pm usa believes that total cigarette category volume for 2011 decreased approximately 3.5% (3.5%) versus 2010, when adjusted primarily for changes in trade inventories and one less shipping day. pm usa's total premium brands (marlboro and other premium brands) shipment volume decreased 4.3% (4.3%). marlboro's shipment volume decreased 3.8% (3.8%) versus 2010. in the discount brands, pm usa's shipment volume decreased 0.9% (0.9%). pm usa's shipments of

unchanged versus 2010. for 2011, pm usa's retail share of the cigarette category declined 0.8 share points to 49.0% (49.0%) due primarily to retail share losses on marlboro. marlboro's 2011 retail share decreased 0.6 share points. in 2010, marlboro delivered record full-year retail share results that were achieved at lower margin levels. middleton retained a leading share of the tipped cigarillo segment of the machine-made large cigars category, with a retail share of approximately 84% (84%) in 2011. for 2011, middleton's retail share of the cigar category increased 0.3 share points to 29.7% (29.7%) versus 2010. black & mild's 2011 retail share increased 0.5 share points, as the brand benefited from new product introductions. during the fourth quarter of 2011, middleton broadened its untipped cigarillo portfolio with new aroma wrap 2122 foil pouch packaging that accompanied the national introduction of black & mild wine. this new fourth- quarter packaging roll-out also included black & mild sweets and classic varieties. during the second quarter of 2011, middleton entered into a contract manufacturing arrangement to source the production of a portion of its cigars overseas. middleton entered into this arrangement to access additional production capacity in an uncertain competitive environment and an excise tax environment that potentially benefits imported large cigars over those manufactured domestically. smokeless products segment the smokeless products segment's operating companies income grew during 2012 driven by higher pricing, copenhagen and

year | gallons hedged | weighted average contractprice per gallon
2016 | 27000000 | $3.57
2017 | 12000000 | 2.92
if the national u.s. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the department of energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty. if the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counterparty. the fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). the aggregate fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges as of december 31, 2015 and 2014 were current liabilities of $37.8 million and $34.4 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. the ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in a loss of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended december 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively, and a gain of less than $0.1 million for the year ended december 31, 2013, and have been recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. total (loss) gain recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income for fuel hedges (the effective portion) was $(2.0) million, $(24.2) million and $2.4 million, for the years ended december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. recycling commodity hedges revenue from the sale of recycled commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated cardboard and old newspaper. from time to time we use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. we had no outstanding recycling commodity hedges as of december 31, 2015 and 2014. no amounts were recognized in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income for the ineffective portion of the changes in fair values during the years ended december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. total gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income for recycling commodity hedges (the effective portion) was $0.1 million and $(0.1) million for the years ended december 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. no amount was recognized in other comprehensive income for 2015. fair value measurements in measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (level 3). we also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate..
what was the ratio of the 2016 hedged gallons to 2017? 2.25
what was the change in the aggregate fair values of outstanding fuel hedge between 2014 and 2015? 3.4
so what was the percentage change during this time? | 0.09884 |

in the table above: 2030 derivative assets are shown as positive amounts and derivative liabilities are shown as negative amounts. 2030 ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of derivative. 2030 averages represent the arithmetic average of the inputs and are not weighted by the relative fair value or notional of the respective financial instruments. an average greater than the median indicates that the majority of inputs are below the average. for example, the difference between the average and the median for credit spreads and oil spread inputs indicates that the majority of the inputs fall in the lower end of the range. 2030 the ranges, averages and medians of these inputs are not representative of the appropriate inputs to use when calculating the fair value of any one derivative. for example, the highest correlation for interest rate derivatives is appropriate for valuing a specific interest rate derivative but may not be appropriate for valuing any other interest rate derivative. accordingly, the ranges of inputs do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the firm 2019s level 3 derivatives. 2030 interest rates, currencies and equities derivatives are valued using option pricing models, credit derivatives are valued using option pricing, correlation and discounted cash flow models, and commodities derivatives are valued using option pricing and discounted cash flow models. 2030 the fair value of any one instrument may be determined using multiple valuation techniques. for example, option pricing models and discounted cash flows models are typically used together to determine fair value. therefore, the level 3 balance encompasses both of these techniques. 2030 correlation within currencies and equities includes cross- product type correlation. 2030 natural gas spread represents the spread per million british thermal units of natural gas. 2030 oil spread represents the spread per barrel of oil and refined products. range of significant unobservable inputs the following is information about the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the firm 2019s level 3 derivative instruments: 2030 correlation. ranges for correlation cover a variety of underliers both within one product type (e.g., equity index and equity single stock names) and across product types (e.g., correlation of an interest rate and a currency), as well as across regions. generally, cross-product type correlation inputs are used to value more complex instruments and are lower than correlation inputs on assets within the same derivative product type. 2030 volatility. ranges for volatility cover numerous underliers across a variety of markets, maturities and strike prices. for example, volatility of equity indices is generally lower than volatility of single stocks. 2030 credit spreads, upfront credit points and recovery rates. the ranges for credit spreads, upfront credit points and recovery rates cover a variety of underliers (index and single names), regions, sectors, maturities and credit qualities (high-yield and investment-grade). the broad range of this population gives rise to the width of the ranges of significant unobservable inputs. 130 goldman sachs 2017 form 10-k.
