backlog at year-end | $17400 | $20300 | $21400
2015 compared to 2014 space systems 2019 net sales in 2015 decreased $97 million, or 1% (1%), compared to 2014. the decrease was attributable to approximately $335 million lower net sales for government satellite programs due to decreased volume (primarily aehf) and the wind-down or completion of mission solutions programs; and approximately $55 million for strategic missile and defense systems due to lower volume. these decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of approximately $235 million for businesses acquired in 2014; and approximately $75 million for the orion program due to increased volume..

(in millions) | 2009 | 2008
fair value | $72699 | $54163
amortized cost | 74843 | 60786
net unrealized loss pre-tax | $-2144 (2144) | $-6623 (6623)
net unrealized loss after-tax | $-1316 (1316) | $-4057 (4057)
the above net unrealized loss amounts at december 31, 2009 and december 31, 2008 excluded the remaining net unrealized loss of $1.01 billion, or $635 million after-tax, and $2.27 billion, or $1.39 billion after- tax, respectively, related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these after-tax amounts are recorded in other comprehensive income. the decline in the remaining after-tax unrealized loss amounts related to transferred securities resulted from amortization and from the recognition of losses from other-than-temporary impairment on certain of the securities. 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 recognized in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that management does not intend to sell the security (see note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under item 8). the assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation of economic and security- specific factors, which are more fully described in note 3. such factors are based upon 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 recognized in our consolidated statement of income. national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national hpi, have declined to date approximately 30% (30%) peak-to-current. management currently estimates that national housing prices will continue to decline and bottom out during the second half of 2010, consistent with a peak-to-trough housing price decline of approximately 37% (37%). as an indication of the sensitivity of our portfolio with respect to our more significant assumptions underlying our assessment of impairment, if we were to increase our default estimates to 110% (110%) of management 2019s current expectations with a corresponding slowing of prepayment speeds to 90% (90%) of management 2019s current expectations, credit-related other-than-temporary impairment could increase by approximately $120 million to $125 million, which impairment would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining securities and the resulting net unrealized losses to be temporary and not the result of any material changes in the credit characteristics of the securities. additional information about our assessment of impairment is provided in note 3 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included under item 8..

Please provide answers honestly and succinctly. | the analysis of our depreciation studies. changes in the estimated service lives of our assets and their related depreciation rates are implemented prospectively. under group depreciation, the historical cost (net of salvage) of depreciable property that is retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized. the historical cost of certain track assets is estimated using (i) inflation indices published by the bureau of labor statistics and (ii) the estimated useful lives of the assets as determined by our depreciation studies. the indices were selected because they closely correlate with the major costs of the properties comprising the applicable track asset classes. because of the number of estimates inherent in the depreciation and retirement processes and because it is impossible to precisely estimate each of these variables until a group of property is completely retired, we continually monitor the estimated service lives of our assets and the accumulated depreciation associated with each asset class to ensure our depreciation rates are appropriate. in addition, we determine if the recorded amount of accumulated depreciation is deficient (or in excess) of the amount indicated by our depreciation studies. any deficiency (or excess) is amortized as a component of depreciation expense over the remaining service lives of the applicable classes of assets. for retirements of depreciable railroad properties that do not occur in the normal course of business, a gain or loss may be recognized if the retirement meets each of the following three conditions: (i) is unusual, (ii) is material in amount, and (iii) varies significantly from the retirement profile identified through our depreciation studies. a gain or loss is recognized in other income when we sell land or dispose of assets that are not part of our railroad operations. when we purchase an asset, we capitalize all costs necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. however, many of our assets are self-constructed. a large portion of our capital expenditures is for replacement of existing track assets and other road properties, which is typically performed by our employees, and for track line expansion and other capacity projects. costs that are directly attributable to capital projects (including overhead costs) are capitalized. direct costs that are capitalized as part of self- constructed assets include material, labor, and work equipment. indirect costs are capitalized if they clearly relate to the construction of the asset. general and administrative expenditures are expensed as incurred. normal repairs and maintenance are also expensed as incurred, while costs incurred that extend the useful life of an asset, improve the safety of our operations or improve operating efficiency are capitalized. these costs are allocated using appropriate statistical bases. total expense for repairs and maintenance incurred was $2.4 billion for 2014, $2.3 billion for 2013, and $2.1 billion for 2012. assets held under capital leases are recorded at the lower of the net present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of the lease. amortization expense is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the period of the related lease. 13. accounts payable and other current liabilities dec. 31, dec. 31, millions 2014 2013.

weyerhaeuser company 2019s containerboard, packaging and recycling business. rent expense was $231 million, $205 million and $210 million for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. guarantees in 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 company and certain of its subsidiaries are currently under examination by the relevant taxing authorities for various tax years. the company regularly assesses the potential outcome of these examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. while it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position, we believe we have appropriately accrued for our uncertain tax benefits. however, audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements and future events that would impact our previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits and the range of anticipated increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits are subject to significant uncertainty. it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may exceed our provision for current unrecognized tax benefits in amounts that could be material, but cannot be estimated as of december 31, 2016. our effective tax rate and net income in any given future period could therefore be materially impacted. 22. discontinued operations brazil distribution 2014 due to a portfolio evaluation in the first half of 2016, management has decided to pursue a strategic shift of its distribution companies in brazil, aes sul and eletropaulo. the disposal of sul was completed in october 2016. in december 2016, eletropaulo underwent a corporate restructuring which is expected to, among other things, provide more liquidity of its shares. aes is continuing to pursue strategic options for eletropaulo in order to complete its strategic shift to reduce aes 2019 exposure to the brazilian distribution business, including preparation for listing its shares into the novo mercado, which is a listing segment of the brazilian stock exchange with the highest standards of corporate governance. the company executed an agreement for the sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary aes sul in june 2016. we have reported the results of operations and financial position of aes sul as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria, the company recognized an after tax loss of $382 million comprised of a pretax impairment charge of $783 million, offset by a tax benefit of $266 million related to the impairment of the sul long lived assets and a tax benefit of $135 million for deferred taxes related to the investment in aes sul. prior to the impairment charge in the second quarter, the carrying value of the aes sul asset group of $1.6 billion was greater than its approximate fair value less costs to sell. however, the impairment charge was limited to the carrying value of the long lived assets of the aes sul disposal group. on october 31, 2016, the company completed the sale of aes sul and received final proceeds less costs to sell of $484 million, excluding contingent consideration. upon disposal of aes sul, we incurred an additional after- tax loss on sale of $737 million. the cumulative impact to earnings of the impairment and loss on sale was $1.1 billion. this includes the reclassification of approximately $1 billion of cumulative translation losses, resulting in a net reduction to the company 2019s stockholders 2019 equity of $92 million. sul 2019s pretax loss attributable to aes for the years ended december 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.4 billion and $32 million, respectively. sul 2019s pretax gain attributable to aes for the year ended december 31, 2014 was $133 million. prior to its classification as discontinued operations, sul was reported in the brazil sbu reportable segment. as discussed in note 1 2014general and summary of significant accounting policies, effective july 1, 2014, the company prospectively adopted asu no. 2014-08. discontinued operations prior to adoption of asu no. 2014-08 include the results of cameroon, saurashtra and various u.s. wind projects which were each sold in the first half of cameroon 2014 in september 2013, the company executed agreements for the sale of its 56% (56%) equity interests in businesses in cameroon: sonel, an integrated utility, kribi, a gas and light fuel oil plant, and dibamba, a heavy.

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.

year | gallons hedged | weighted average contractprice per gallon
2017 | 12000000 | $2.92
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 premium cigarettes accounted for 93.7% (93.7%) of its reported domestic cigarettes shipment volume for 2011, down from 93.9% (93.9%) in 2010. middleton's 2011 reported cigars shipment volume was 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

revenue for 2013 was down 1% (1%) from 2012. pccg experienced lower platform unit sales in the first half of the year, but saw offsetting growth in the back half as the pc market began to show signs of stabilization. dcg continued to benefit from the build out of internet cloud computing and the strength of our product portfolio resulting in increased platform volumes for dcg for the year. higher factory start-up costs for our next-generation 14nm process technology led to a decrease in gross margin compared to 2012. in response to the current business environment and to better align resources, management approved several restructuring actions including targeted workforce reductions as well as the exit of certain businesses and facilities. these actions resulted in restructuring and asset impairment charges of $240 million for 2013. table of contents.

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..

the combined amount of accrued interest and penalties related to tax positions taken on our tax returns were approximately $24.6 million and $23.6 million for fiscal 2018 and 2017, respectively. these amounts were included in long-term income taxes payable in their respective years. we file income tax returns in the united states on a federal basis and in many u.s. state and foreign jurisdictions. we are subject to the continual examination of our income tax returns by the irs and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. our major tax jurisdictions are ireland, california and the united states. for ireland, california and the united states, the earliest fiscal years open for examination are 2008, 2014 and 2015, respectively. we regularly assess the likelihood of outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes and have reserved for potential adjustments that may result from these examinations. we believe such estimates to be reasonable; however, there can be no assurance that the final determination of any of these examinations will not have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial position. the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain as are the amounts and timing of tax payments that are part of any audit settlement process. these events could cause large fluctuations in the balance of short-term and long- term assets, liabilities and income taxes payable. we believe that within the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that either certain audits will conclude or statutes of limitations on certain income tax examination periods will expire, or both. given the uncertainties described above, we can only determine a range of estimated potential effect in underlying unrecognized tax benefits ranging from $0 to approximately $45 million..

jpmorgan chase & co./2005 annual report 35 and are retained in corporate. these retained expenses include parent company costs that would not be incurred if the segments were stand-alone businesses; adjustments to align certain corporate staff, technology and operations allocations with market prices; and other one-time items not aligned with the business segments. during 2005, the firm refined cost allocation methodologies related to certain corporate functions, technology and operations expenses in order to improve transparency, consistency and accountability with regard to costs allocated across business segments. prior periods have not been revised to reflect these new cost allocation methodologies. capital allocation each business segment is allocated capital by taking into consideration stand- alone peer comparisons, economic risk measures and regulatory capital requirements. the amount of capital assigned to each business is referred to as equity. at the time of the merger, goodwill, as well as the associated capital, was allocated solely to corporate. effective january 2006, the firm expects to refine its methodology for allocating capital to the business segments to include any goodwill associated with line of business-directed acquisitions since the merger. u.s. gaap requires the allocation of goodwill to the business segments for impairment testing (see critical accounting estimates used by the firm and note 15 on pages 81 2013 83 and 114 2013116, respectively, of this annual report). see the capital management section on page 56 of this annual report for a discussion of the equity framework. credit reimbursement tss reimburses the ib for credit portfolio exposures the ib manages on behalf of clients the segments share. at the time of the merger, the reimbursement methodology was revised to be based upon pre-tax earnings, net of the cost of capital related to those exposures. prior to the merger, the credit reimbursement was based upon pre-tax earnings, plus the allocated capital associated with the shared clients. tax-equivalent adjustments segment and firm results reflect revenues on a tax-equivalent basis for segment reporting purposes. refer to explanation and reconciliation of the firm 2019s non-gaap financial measures on page 31 of this annual report for additional details. description of business segment reporting methodology results of the business segments are intended to reflect each segment as if it were essentially a stand-alone business. the management reporting process that derives these results allocates income and expense using market-based methodologies. effective with the merger on july 1, 2004, several of the allocation methodologies were revised, as noted below. as prior periods have not been revised to reflect these new methodologies, they are not comparable to the presentation of periods beginning with the third quarter of 2004. further, the firm continues to assess the assumptions, methodologies and reporting reclassifications used for segment reporting, and further refinements may be implemented in future periods. revenue sharing when business segments join efforts to sell products and services to the firm 2019s clients, the participating business segments agree to share revenues from those transactions. these revenue-sharing agreements were revised on the merger date to provide consistency across the lines of business. funds transfer pricing funds transfer pricing (201cftp 201d) is used to allocate interest income and expense to each business and transfer the primary interest rate risk exposures to corporate. the allocation process is unique to each business and considers the interest rate risk, liquidity risk and regulatory requirements of its stand- alone peers. business segments may retain certain interest rate exposures, subject to management approval, that would be expected in the normal operation of a similar peer business. in the third quarter of 2004, ftp was revised to conform the policies of the combined firms. expense allocation where business segments use services provided by support units within the firm, the costs of those support units are allocated to the business segments. those expenses are allocated based upon their actual cost, or the lower of actual cost or market cost, as well as upon usage of the services provided. effective with the third quarter of 2004, the cost allocation methodologies of the heritage firms were aligned to provide consistency across the business segments. in addition, expenses related to certain corporate functions, technology and operations ceased to be allocated to the business segments.

(a) additions include acquisitions. (b) during 2011, the company reclassified the goodwill related to the business units held for sale. subsequent to the reclassification, the company recognized a charge for those business units expected to be divested at a loss; the charge included a write-down of goodwill of $13 million. (c) other principally includes the effect of foreign currency translation and purchase price adjustments related to prior-year acquisitions. in the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011, the company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. the impairment test in 2012 indicated there was no impairment of goodwill for any of the company 2019s reporting units. the impairment test in 2011 indicated that goodwill recorded for certain of the company 2019s reporting units was impaired. the company recognized the non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges, in continuing operations, for goodwill of $486 million ($330 million, after tax) for 2011. in 2011, the pre-tax impairment charge in the cabinets and related products segment relates to the european ready-to- assemble cabinet manufacturer and reflects the declining demand for certain products, as well as decreased operating margins. the pre-tax impairment charge in the decorative architectural products segment relates to the builders 2019 hardware business and reflects increasing competitive conditions for that business. the pre-tax impairment charge in the other specialty products segment relates to the north american window and door business and reflects the continuing weak level of new home construction activity in the western u.s., the reduced levels of repair and remodel activity and the expectation that recovery in these segments will be modestly slower than anticipated. the company then assessed the long-lived assets associated with these business units and determined no impairment was necessary at december 31, 2011. other indefinite-lived intangible assets were $132 million and $174 million at december 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. in 2012 and 2011, the impairment test indicated that the registered trademark for a north american business unit in the other specialty products segment and the registered trademark for a north american business unit in the plumbing products segment (2011 only) were impaired due to changes in the long-term outlook for the business units. the company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for other indefinite- lived intangible assets of $42 million ($27 million, after tax) and $8 million ($5 million, after tax) in 2012 and 2011, respectively. in 2010, the company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for other indefinite-lived intangible assets of $10 million ($6 million after tax) related to the installation and other services segment ($9 million pre-tax) and the plumbing products segment ($1 million pre-tax)..

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

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
