f0b7 free cash flow 2013 cash generated by operating activities totaled $ 6.2 billion , reduced by $ 3.6 billion for cash used in investing activities and a 37% ( 37 % ) increase in dividends paid , yielding free cash flow of $ 1.4 billion . free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities ( adjusted for the reclassification of our receivables securitization facility ) , less cash used in investing activities and dividends paid . free cash flow is not considered a financial measure under accounting principles generally accepted in the u.s . ( gaap ) by sec regulation g and item 10 of sec regulation s-k and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner . we believe free cash flow is important to management and investors in evaluating our financial performance and measures our ability to generate cash without additional external financings . free cash flow should be considered in addition to , rather than as a substitute for , cash provided by operating activities . the following table reconciles cash provided by operating activities ( gaap measure ) to free cash flow ( non-gaap measure ) : millions 2012 2011 2010 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>millions</td><td>2012</td><td>2011</td><td>2010</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>cash provided by operating activities</td><td>$ 6161</td><td>$ 5873</td><td>$ 4105</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>receivables securitization facility [a]</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>400</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>cash provided by operating activities adjusted for the receivables securitizationfacility</td><td>6161</td><td>5873</td><td>4505</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>cash used in investing activities</td><td>-3633 ( 3633 )</td><td>-3119 ( 3119 )</td><td>-2488 ( 2488 )</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>dividends paid</td><td>-1146 ( 1146 )</td><td>-837 ( 837 )</td><td>-602 ( 602 )</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>free cash flow</td><td>$ 1382</td><td>$ 1917</td><td>$ 1415</td></tr></table> [a] effective january 1 , 2010 , a new accounting standard required us to account for receivables transferred under our receivables securitization facility as secured borrowings in our consolidated statements of financial position and as financing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows . the receivables securitization facility is included in our free cash flow calculation to adjust cash provided by operating activities as though our receivables securitization facility had been accounted for under the new accounting standard for all periods presented . 2013 outlook f0b7 safety 2013 operating a safe railroad benefits our employees , our customers , our 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 throughout our operations , which allows us to identify and implement best practices for employee and operational safety . derailment prevention and the reduction of grade crossing incidents are critical aspects of our safety programs . we will continue our efforts to increase rail defect detection ; 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 ) , various industry programs and local community activities across our network . f0b7 network operations 2013 we will continue focusing on our six critical initiatives to improve safety , service and productivity during 2013 . we are seeing solid contributions from reducing variability , continuous improvements , and standard work . resource agility allows us to respond quickly to changing market conditions and network disruptions from weather or other events . the railroad continues to benefit from capital investments that allow us to build capacity for growth and harden our infrastructure to reduce failure . f0b7 fuel prices 2013 uncertainty about the economy makes projections of fuel prices difficult . 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 . to reduce the impact of fuel price on earnings , we will continue seeking cost recovery from our customers through our fuel surcharge programs and expanding our fuel conservation efforts . f0b7 capital plan 2013 in 2013 , we plan to make total capital investments of approximately $ 3.6 billion , including expenditures for positive train control ( ptc ) , which 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. ) .

from time to time , we may elect to use foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk from exchange rate fluctuations on intercompany transactions and projected inventory purchases for our european and canadian subsidiaries . in addition , we may elect to enter into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on pound sterling denominated balance sheet items . we do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes . based on the foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of december 31 , 2011 , we receive u.s . dollars in exchange for canadian dollars at a weighted average contractual forward foreign currency exchange rate of 1.03 cad per $ 1.00 , u.s . dollars in exchange for euros at a weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange rate of 20ac0.77 per $ 1.00 and euros in exchange for pounds sterling at a weighted average contractual foreign currency exchange rate of a30.84 per 20ac1.00 . as of december 31 , 2011 , the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for our canadian subsidiary was $ 51.1 million with contract maturities of 1 month or less , and the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts for our european subsidiary was $ 50.0 million with contract maturities of 1 month . as of december 31 , 2011 , the notional value of our outstanding foreign currency forward contract used to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on pound sterling denominated balance sheet items was 20ac10.5 million , or $ 13.6 million , with a contract maturity of 1 month . the foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges , and accordingly , changes in their fair value are recorded in other expense , net on the consolidated statements of income . the fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts were liabilities of $ 0.7 million and $ 0.6 million as of december 31 , 2011 and 2010 , respectively , and were included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet . refer to note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the fair value measurements . included in other expense , net were the following amounts related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and derivative foreign currency forward contracts: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>year ended december 31 , ( in thousands )</td><td>year ended december 31 , 2011</td><td>year ended december 31 , 2010</td><td>2009</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>unrealized foreign currency exchange rate gains ( losses )</td><td>$ -4027 ( 4027 )</td><td>$ -1280 ( 1280 )</td><td>$ 5222</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>realized foreign currency exchange rate gains ( losses )</td><td>298</td><td>-2638 ( 2638 )</td><td>-261 ( 261 )</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>unrealized derivative losses</td><td>-31 ( 31 )</td><td>-809 ( 809 )</td><td>-1060 ( 1060 )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>realized derivative gains ( losses )</td><td>1696</td><td>3549</td><td>-4412 ( 4412 )</td></tr></table> we enter into foreign currency forward contracts with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings and are exposed to credit losses in the event of non-performance by these financial institutions . this credit risk is generally limited to the unrealized gains in the foreign currency forward contracts . however , we monitor the credit quality of these financial institutions and consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal . although we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize some of the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on future cash flows , we cannot be assured that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations . inflation inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results . although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date , a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling , general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs. .

capital resources and liquidity capital resources overview capital is generally generated via earnings from operating businesses . this is augmented through issuance of common stock , convertible preferred stock , preferred stock , subordinated debt , and equity issued through awards under employee benefit plans . capital is used primarily to support assets in the company 2019s businesses and to absorb unexpected market , credit or operational losses . the company 2019s uses of capital , particularly to pay dividends and repurchase common stock , became severely restricted during the latter half of 2008 . see 201cthe company , 201d 201cmanagement 2019s discussion and analysis 2013 events in 2008 , 201d 201ctarp and other regulatory programs , 201d 201crisk factors 201d and 201ccommon equity 201d on pages 2 , 9 , 44 , 47 and 95 , respectively . citigroup 2019s capital management framework is designed to ensure that citigroup and its principal subsidiaries maintain sufficient capital consistent with the company 2019s risk profile , all applicable regulatory standards and guidelines , and external rating agency considerations . the capital management process is centrally overseen by senior management and is reviewed at the consolidated , legal entity , and country level . senior management oversees the capital management process of citigroup and its principal subsidiaries mainly through citigroup 2019s finance and asset and liability committee ( finalco ) . the committee is composed of the senior-most management of citigroup for the purpose of engaging management in decision-making and related discussions on capital and liquidity items . among other things , the committee 2019s responsibilities include : determining the financial structure of citigroup and its principal subsidiaries ; ensuring that citigroup and its regulated entities are adequately capitalized ; determining appropriate asset levels and return hurdles for citigroup and individual businesses ; reviewing the funding and capital markets plan for citigroup ; and monitoring interest-rate risk , corporate and bank liquidity , the impact of currency translation on non-u.s . earnings and capital . the finalco has established capital targets for citigroup and for significant subsidiaries . at december 31 , 2008 , these targets exceeded the regulatory standards . common and preferred stock issuances as discussed under 201cevents in 2008 201d on page 9 , during 2008 , the company issued $ 45 billion in preferred stock and warrants under tarp , $ 12.5 billion of convertible preferred stock in a private offering , $ 11.7 billion of non-convertible preferred stock in public offerings , $ 3.2 billion of convertible preferred stock in public offerings , and $ 4.9 billion of common stock in public offerings . on january 23 , 2009 , pursuant to our prior agreement with the purchasers of the $ 12.5 billion convertible preferred stock issued in the private offering , the conversion price was reset from $ 31.62 per share to $ 26.35 per share . the reset will result in citigroup 2019s issuing approximately 79 million additional common shares if converted . there will be no impact to net income , total stockholders 2019 equity or capital ratios due to the reset . however , the reset will result in a reclassification from retained earnings to additional paid-in capital of $ 1.2 billion to reflect the benefit of the reset to the preferred stockholders . capital ratios citigroup is subject to risk-based capital ratio guidelines issued by the federal reserve board ( frb ) . capital adequacy is measured via two risk- based ratios , tier 1 and total capital ( tier 1 + tier 2 capital ) . tier 1 capital is considered core capital while total capital also includes other items such as subordinated debt and loan loss reserves . both measures of capital are stated as a percentage of risk-weighted assets . risk-weighted assets are measured primarily on their perceived credit risk and include certain off-balance-sheet exposures , such as unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit , and the notional amounts of derivative and foreign- exchange contracts . citigroup is also subject to the leverage ratio requirement , a non-risk-based asset ratio , which is defined as tier 1 capital as a percentage of adjusted average assets . to be 201cwell capitalized 201d under federal bank regulatory agency definitions , a bank holding company must have a tier 1 capital ratio of at least 6% ( 6 % ) , a total capital ratio of at least 10% ( 10 % ) , and a leverage ratio of at least 3% ( 3 % ) , and not be subject to an frb directive to maintain higher capital levels . as noted in the following table , citigroup maintained a 201cwell capitalized 201d position during both 2008 and 2007 . citigroup regulatory capital ratios at year end 2008 2007 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>at year end</td><td>2008</td><td>2007</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>tier 1 capital</td><td>11.92% ( 11.92 % )</td><td>7.12% ( 7.12 % )</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>total capital ( tier 1 and tier 2 )</td><td>15.70</td><td>10.70</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>leverage ( 1 )</td><td>6.08</td><td>4.03</td></tr></table> leverage ( 1 ) 6.08 4.03 ( 1 ) tier 1 capital divided by adjusted average assets . events occurring during 2008 , including the transactions with the u.s . government , affected citigroup 2019s capital ratios , and any additional u.s . government financial involvement with the company could further impact the company 2019s capital ratios . in addition , future operations will affect capital levels , and changes that the fasb has proposed regarding off-balance-sheet assets , consolidation and sale treatment could also have an impact on capital ratios . see also note 23 to the consolidated financial statements on page 175 , including 201cfunding liquidity facilities and subordinate interests . 201d .

application of specific accounting literature . for the nonconsolidated proprietary tob trusts and qspe tob trusts , the company recognizes only its residual investment on its balance sheet at fair value and the third-party financing raised by the trusts is off-balance sheet . the following table summarizes selected cash flow information related to municipal bond securitizations for the years

investments municipal investment transactions represent partnerships that finance the construction and rehabilitation of low-income affordable rental housing . the company generally invests in these partnerships as a limited partner and earns a return primarily through the receipt of tax credits earned from the affordable housing investments made by the partnership . client intermediation client intermediation transactions represent a range of transactions designed to provide investors with specified returns based on the returns of an underlying security , referenced asset or index . these transactions include credit-linked notes and equity-linked notes . in these transactions , the spe typically obtains exposure to the underlying security , referenced asset or index through a derivative instrument , such as a total-return swap or a credit-default swap . in turn the spe issues notes to investors that pay a return based on the specified underlying security , referenced asset or index . the spe invests the proceeds in a financial asset or a guaranteed insurance contract ( gic ) that serves as collateral for the derivative contract over the term of the transaction . the company 2019s involvement in these transactions includes being the counterparty to the spe 2019s derivative instruments and investing in a portion of the notes issued by the spe . in certain transactions , the investor 2019s maximum risk of loss is limited and the company absorbs risk of loss above a specified level . the company 2019s maximum risk of loss in these transactions is defined as the amount invested in notes issued by the spe and the notional amount of any risk of loss absorbed by the company through a separate instrument issued by the spe . the derivative instrument held by the company may generate a receivable from the spe ( for example , where the company purchases credit protection from the spe in connection with the spe 2019s issuance of a credit-linked note ) , which is collateralized by the assets owned by the spe . these derivative instruments are not considered variable interests under fin 46 ( r ) and any associated receivables are not included in the calculation of maximum exposure to the spe . structured investment vehicles structured investment vehicles ( sivs ) are spes that issue junior notes and senior debt ( medium-term notes and short-term commercial paper ) to fund the purchase of high quality assets . the junior notes are subject to the 201cfirst loss 201d risk of the sivs . the sivs provide a variable return to the junior note investors based on the net spread between the cost to issue the senior debt and the return realized by the high quality assets . the company acts as manager for the sivs and , prior to december 13 , 2007 , was not contractually obligated to provide liquidity facilities or guarantees to the sivs . in response to the ratings review of the outstanding senior debt of the sivs for a possible downgrade announced by two ratings agencies and the continued reduction of liquidity in the siv-related asset-backed commercial paper and medium-term note markets , on december 13 , 2007 , citigroup announced its commitment to provide support facilities that would support the sivs 2019 senior debt ratings . as a result of this commitment , citigroup became the sivs 2019 primary beneficiary and began consolidating these entities . on february 12 , 2008 , citigroup finalized the terms of the support facilities , which took the form of a commitment to provide $ 3.5 billion of mezzanine capital to the sivs in the event the market value of their junior notes approaches zero . the mezzanine capital facility was increased by $ 1 billion to $ 4.5 billion , with the additional commitment funded during the fourth quarter of 2008 . the facilities rank senior to the junior notes but junior to the commercial paper and medium-term notes . the facilities were at arm 2019s-length terms . interest was paid on the drawn amount of the facilities and a per annum fee was paid on the unused portion . during the period to november 18 , 2008 , the company wrote down $ 3.3 billion on siv assets . in order to complete the wind-down of the sivs , the company , in a nearly cashless transaction , purchased the remaining assets of the sivs at fair value , with a trade date of november 18 , 2008 . the

citigroup 2019s repurchases are primarily from government sponsored entities . the specific representations and warranties made by the company depend on the nature of the transaction and the requirements of the buyer . market conditions and credit-ratings agency requirements may also affect representations and warranties and the other provisions the company may agree to in loan sales . in the event of a breach of the representations and warranties , the company may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans ( generally at unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest ) with the identified defects or indemnify ( 201cmake-whole 201d ) the investor or insurer . the company has recorded a repurchase reserve that is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet . in the case of a repurchase , the company will bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans . the company 2019s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits in amount or time of coverage . however , contractual liability arises only when the representations and warranties are breached and generally only when a loss results from the breach . in the case of a repurchase , the loan is typically considered a credit- impaired loan and accounted for under sop 03-3 , 201caccounting for certain loans and debt securities , acquired in a transfer 201d ( now incorporated into asc 310-30 , receivables 2014loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality ) . these repurchases have not had a material impact on nonperforming loan statistics , because credit-impaired purchased sop 03-3 loans are not included in nonaccrual loans . the company estimates its exposure to losses from its obligation to repurchase previously sold loans based on the probability of repurchase or make-whole and an estimated loss given repurchase or make-whole . this estimate is calculated separately by sales vintage ( i.e. , the year the loans were sold ) based on a combination of historical trends and forecasted repurchases and losses considering the : ( 1 ) trends in requests by investors for loan documentation packages to be reviewed ; ( 2 ) trends in recent repurchases and make-wholes ; ( 3 ) historical percentage of claims made as a percentage of loan documentation package requests ; ( 4 ) success rate in appealing claims ; ( 5 ) inventory of unresolved claims ; and ( 6 ) estimated loss given repurchase or make-whole , including the loss of principal , accrued interest , and foreclosure costs . the company does not change its estimation methodology by counterparty , but the historical experience and trends are considered when evaluating the overall reserve . the request for loan documentation packages is an early indicator of a potential claim . during 2009 , loan documentation package requests and the level of outstanding claims increased . in addition , our loss severity estimates increased during 2009 due to the impact of macroeconomic factors and recent experience . these factors contributed to a $ 493 million change in estimate for this reserve in 2009 . as indicated above , the repurchase reserve is calculated by sales vintage . the majority of the repurchases in 2009 were from the 2006 and 2007 sales vintages , which also represent the vintages with the largest loss- given-repurchase . an insignificant percentage of 2009 repurchases were from vintages prior to 2006 , and this is expected to decrease , because those vintages are later in the credit cycle . although early in the credit cycle , the company has experienced improved repurchase and loss-given-repurchase statistics from the 2008 and 2009 vintages . in the case of a repurchase of a credit-impaired sop 03-3 loan ( now incorporated into asc 310-30 ) , the difference between the loan 2019s fair value and unpaid principal balance at the time of the repurchase is recorded as a utilization of the repurchase reserve . payments to make the investor whole are also treated as utilizations and charged directly against the reserve . the provision for estimated probable losses arising from loan sales is recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale , which is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of income . a liability for representations and warranties is estimated when the company sells loans and is updated quarterly . any subsequent adjustment to the provision is recorded in other revenue in the consolidated statement of income . the activity in the repurchase reserve for the years ended december 31 , 2009 and 2008 is as follows: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>in millions of dollars</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>balance beginning of the year</td><td>$ 75</td><td>$ 2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>additions for new sales</td><td>33</td><td>23</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>change in estimate</td><td>493</td><td>59</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>utilizations</td><td>-119 ( 119 )</td><td>-9 ( 9 )</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>balance end of the year</td><td>$ 482</td><td>$ 75</td></tr></table> goodwill goodwill represents an acquired company 2019s acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired . goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests , whereby goodwill is allocated to the company 2019s reporting units and an impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value . furthermore , on any business dispositions , goodwill is allocated to the business disposed of based on the ratio of the fair value of the business disposed of to the fair value of the reporting unit . intangible assets intangible assets 2014including core deposit intangibles , present value of future profits , purchased credit card relationships , other customer relationships , and other intangible assets , but excluding msrs 2014are amortized over their estimated useful lives . intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives , primarily certain asset management contracts and trade names , are not amortized and are subject to annual impairment tests . an impairment exists if the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value . for other intangible assets subject to amortization , an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset . other assets and other liabilities other assets include , among other items , loans held-for-sale , deferred tax assets , equity-method investments , interest and fees receivable , premises and equipment , end-user derivatives in a net receivable position , repossessed assets , and other receivables. .

cash provided by operating activities cash provided by operations is dependent primarily upon the payment terms of our license agreements . to be classified as upfront revenue , we require that 75% ( 75 % ) of a term or perpetual license fee be paid within the first year . conversely , payment terms for tsls are generally extended and the license fee is typically paid either quarterly or annually in even increments over the term of the license . accordingly , we generally receive cash from upfront license revenue much sooner than from time-based licenses revenue . fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009 . cash from operating activities decreased primarily as a result of a decrease in deferred revenue due to the timing of billings and cash payments from certain customers , increased payments to vendors compared to fiscal 2008 and a tax prepayment for an irs settlement . see note 9 of notes to consolidated financial statements . fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008 . cash from operating activities decreased primarily due to the timing of billings and cash payments from customers compared to fiscal 2007 , delivering lower cash inflows during fiscal 2008 and also as a result of a litigation settlement of $ 12.5 million received from magma during fiscal 2007 . cash used in investing activities fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009 . the decrease in cash used primarily relates to a decrease in our purchases of marketable securities and cash paid for acquisitions as compared to fiscal 2008 , offset by the timing of maturities of marketable securities . fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008 . the decrease in cash used primarily relates to the sale of marketable securities for our acquisition of synplicity , and as a result of lower capital expenditures during fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007 . cash provided by ( used in ) financing activities fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009 . the increase in cash provided primarily relates to the absence of common stock repurchases in fiscal 2009 offset by a decrease in the number of options exercised by employees compared to fiscal 2008 . fiscal 2007 to fiscal 2008 . the increase in cash used primarily relates to more common stock repurchases under our stock repurchase program and options exercised by employees compared to fiscal 2007 . see note 7 of notes to consolidated financial statements for details of our stock repurchase program . we hold our cash , cash equivalents and short-term investments in the united states and in foreign accounts , primarily in ireland , bermuda , and japan . as of october 31 , 2009 , we held an aggregate of $ 612.4 million in cash , cash equivalents and short-term investments in the united states and an aggregate of $ 555.9 million in foreign accounts . funds in foreign accounts are generated from revenue outside north america . at present , such foreign funds are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign countries to the extent of indefinitely reinvested foreign earnings as described in note 9 of notes to consolidated financial statements . we expect cash provided by operating activities to fluctuate in future periods as a result of a number of factors , including the timing of our billings and collections , our operating results , the timing and amount of tax and other liability payments and cash used in any future acquisitions . accounts receivable , net october 31 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td><td>$ change</td><td>% ( % ) change</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>( dollars in millions )</td><td>( dollars in millions )</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>$ 127.0</td><td>$ 147.4</td><td>$ -20.4 ( 20.4 )</td><td>( 14 ) % ( % )</td></tr></table> .

which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations . management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments , including futures , options , and swaps , where appropriate , to manage these risks . instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract . the

positions and collateral of the defaulting firm at each respective clearing organization , and taking into account any cross-margining loss sharing payments , any of the participating clearing organizations has a remaining liquidating surplus , and any other participating clearing organization has a remaining liquidating deficit , any additional surplus from the liquidation would be shared with the other clearing house to the extent that it has a remaining liquidating deficit . any remaining surplus funds would be passed to the bankruptcy trustee . mf global bankruptcy trust . the company provided a $ 550.0 million financial guarantee to the bankruptcy trustee of mf global to accelerate the distribution of funds to mf global customers . in the event that the trustee distributed more property in the second or third interim distributions than was permitted by the bankruptcy code and cftc regulations , the company will make a cash payment to the trustee for the amount of the erroneous distribution or distributions up to $ 550.0 million in the aggregate . a payment will only be made after the trustee makes reasonable efforts to collect the property erroneously distributed to the customer ( s ) . if a payment is made by the company , the company may have the right to seek reimbursement of the erroneously distributed property from the applicable customer ( s ) . the guarantee does not cover distributions made by the trustee to customers on the basis of their claims filed in the bankruptcy . because the trustee has now made payments to nearly all customers on the basis of their claims , the company believes that the likelihood of payment to the trustee is very remote . as a result , the guarantee liability is estimated to be immaterial at december 31 , 2012 . family farmer and rancher protection fund . in april 2012 , the company established the family farmer and rancher protection fund ( the fund ) . the fund is designed to provide payments , up to certain maximum levels , to family farmers , ranchers and other agricultural industry participants who use cme group agricultural products and who suffer losses to their segregated account balances due to their cme clearing member becoming insolvent . under the terms of the fund , farmers and ranchers are eligible for up to $ 25000 per participant . farming and ranching cooperatives are eligible for up to $ 100000 per cooperative . the fund has an aggregate maximum payment amount of $ 100.0 million . if payments to participants were to exceed this amount , payments would be pro-rated . clearing members and customers must register in advance with the company and provide certain documentation in order to substantiate their eligibility . peregrine financial group , inc . ( pfg ) filed for bankruptcy protection on july 10 , 2012 . pfg was not one of cme 2019s clearing members and its customers had not registered for the fund . accordingly , they were not technically eligible for payments from the fund . however , because the fund was newly implemented and because pfg 2019s customers included many agricultural industry participants for whom the program was designed , the company decided to waive certain terms and conditions of the fund , solely in connection with the pfg bankruptcy , so that otherwise eligible family farmers , ranchers and agricultural cooperatives could apply for and receive benefits from cme . based on the number of such pfg customers who applied and the estimated size of their claims , the company has recorded a liability in the amount of $ 2.1 million at december 31 , 2012 . 16 . redeemable non-controlling interest the following summarizes the changes in redeemable non-controlling interest for the years presented . non- controlling interests that do not contain redemption features are presented in the statements of equity. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( in millions )</td><td>2012</td><td>2011</td><td>2010</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>balance at january 1</td><td>$ 70.3</td><td>$ 68.1</td><td>$ 2014</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>contribution by dow jones</td><td>2014</td><td>2014</td><td>675.0</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>distribution to dow jones</td><td>2014</td><td>2014</td><td>-607.5 ( 607.5 )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>allocation of stock-based compensation</td><td>2014</td><td>0.1</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>total comprehensive income attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest</td><td>10.5</td><td>2.1</td><td>0.6</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>balance at december 31</td><td>$ 80.8</td><td>$ 70.3</td><td>$ 68.1</td></tr></table> contribution by dow jones . . . . . . . . . . . 2014 2014 675.0 distribution to dow jones . . . . . . . . . . . 2014 2014 ( 607.5 ) allocation of stock- compensation . . . . 2014 0.1 2014 total comprehensive income attributable to redeemable non- controlling interest . . . . . . . . . . 10.5 2.1 0.6 balance at december 31 . . . . . . . . . $ 80.8 $ 70.3 $ 68.1 .

reinsurance of $ 1.08 billion , $ 880 million and $ 827 million for the years ended december 2012 , december 2011 and december 2010 , respectively . 2012 versus 2011 . net revenues in institutional client services were $ 18.12 billion for 2012 , 5% ( 5 % ) higher than 2011 . net revenues in fixed income , currency and commodities client execution were $ 9.91 billion for 2012 , 10% ( 10 % ) higher than 2011 . these results reflected strong net revenues in mortgages , which were significantly higher compared with 2011 . in addition , net revenues in credit products and interest rate products were solid and higher compared with 2011 . these increases were partially offset by significantly lower net revenues in commodities and slightly lower net revenues in currencies . although broad market concerns persisted during 2012 , fixed income , currency and commodities client execution operated in a generally improved environment characterized by tighter credit spreads and less challenging market-making conditions compared with 2011 . net revenues in equities were $ 8.21 billion for 2012 , essentially unchanged compared with 2011 . net revenues in securities services were significantly higher compared with 2011 , reflecting a gain of approximately $ 500 million on the sale of our hedge fund administration business . in addition , equities client execution net revenues were higher than 2011 , primarily reflecting significantly higher results in cash products , principally due to increased levels of client activity . these increases were offset by lower commissions and fees , reflecting lower market volumes . during 2012 , equities operated in an environment generally characterized by an increase in global equity prices and lower volatility levels . the net loss attributable to the impact of changes in our own credit spreads on borrowings for which the fair value option was elected was $ 714 million ( $ 433 million and $ 281 million related to fixed income , currency and commodities client execution and equities client execution , respectively ) for 2012 , compared with a net gain of $ 596 million ( $ 399 million and $ 197 million related to fixed income , currency and commodities client execution and equities client execution , respectively ) for 2011 . during 2012 , institutional client services operated in an environment generally characterized by continued broad market concerns and uncertainties , although positive developments helped to improve market conditions . these developments included certain central bank actions to ease monetary policy and address funding risks for european financial institutions . in addition , the u.s . economy posted stable to improving economic data , including favorable developments in unemployment and housing . these improvements resulted in tighter credit spreads , higher global equity prices and lower levels of volatility . however , concerns about the outlook for the global economy and continued political uncertainty , particularly the political debate in the united states surrounding the fiscal cliff , generally resulted in client risk aversion and lower activity levels . also , uncertainty over financial regulatory reform persisted . if these concerns and uncertainties continue over the long term , net revenues in fixed income , currency and commodities client execution and equities would likely be negatively impacted . operating expenses were $ 12.48 billion for 2012 , 3% ( 3 % ) lower than 2011 , primarily due to lower brokerage , clearing , exchange and distribution fees , and lower impairment charges , partially offset by higher net provisions for litigation and regulatory proceedings . pre-tax earnings were $ 5.64 billion in 2012 , 27% ( 27 % ) higher than 2011 . 2011 versus 2010 . net revenues in institutional client services were $ 17.28 billion for 2011 , 21% ( 21 % ) lower than 2010 . net revenues in fixed income , currency and commodities client execution were $ 9.02 billion for 2011 , 34% ( 34 % ) lower than 2010 . although activity levels during 2011 were generally consistent with 2010 levels , and results were solid during the first quarter of 2011 , the environment during the remainder of 2011 was characterized by broad market concerns and uncertainty , resulting in volatile markets and significantly wider credit spreads , which contributed to difficult market-making conditions and led to reductions in risk by us and our clients . as a result of these conditions , net revenues across the franchise were lower , including significant declines in mortgages and credit products , compared with 2010 . 54 goldman sachs 2012 annual report .

the income approach indicates value for an asset or liability based on the present value of cash flow projected to be generated over the remaining economic life of the asset or liability being measured . both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective . our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing , remaining developmental effort , operational performance including company- specific synergies , aftermarket retention , product life cycles , material and labor pricing , and other relevant customer , contractual and market factors . where appropriate , the net cash flows are adjusted to reflect the uncertainties associated with the underlying assumptions , as well as the risk profile of the net cash flows utilized in the valuation . the adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate . projected cash flow is discounted at a required rate of return that reflects the relative risk of achieving the cash flows and the time value of money . the market approach is a valuation technique that uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets , liabilities , or a group of assets and liabilities . valuation techniques consistent with the market approach often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables . the cost approach , which estimates value by determining the current cost of replacing an asset with another of equivalent economic utility , was used , as appropriate , for property , plant and equipment . the cost to replace a given asset reflects the estimated reproduction or replacement cost , less an allowance for loss in value due to depreciation . the purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $ 2.8 billion of goodwill , all of which is expected to be amortizable for tax purposes . substantially all of the goodwill was assigned to our rms business . the goodwill recognized is attributable to expected revenue synergies generated by the integration of our products and technologies with those of sikorsky , costs synergies resulting from the consolidation or elimination of certain functions , and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition , such as the assembled workforce of sikorsky . determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed requires the exercise of significant judgments , including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows , long-term growth rates and discount rates . the cash flows employed in the dcf analyses are based on our best estimate of future sales , earnings and cash flows after considering factors such as general market conditions , customer budgets , existing firm orders , expected future orders , contracts with suppliers , labor agreements , changes in working capital , long term business plans and recent operating performance . use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results . impact to 2015 financial results sikorsky 2019s 2015 financial results have been included in our consolidated financial results only for the period from the november 6 , 2015 acquisition date through december 31 , 2015 . as a result , our consolidated financial results for the year ended december 31 , 2015 do not reflect a full year of sikorsky 2019s results . from the november 6 , 2015 acquisition date through december 31 , 2015 , sikorsky generated net sales of approximately $ 400 million and operating loss of approximately $ 45 million , inclusive of intangible amortization and adjustments required to account for the acquisition . we incurred approximately $ 38 million of non-recoverable transaction costs associated with the sikorsky acquisition in 2015 that were expensed as incurred . these costs are included in other income , net on our consolidated statements of earnings . we also incurred approximately $ 48 million in costs associated with issuing the $ 7.0 billion november 2015 notes used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 364-day facility used to finance the acquisition . the financing costs were recorded as a reduction of debt and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt . supplemental pro forma financial information ( unaudited ) the following table presents summarized unaudited pro forma financial information as if sikorsky had been included in our financial results for the entire years in 2015 and 2014 ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2015</td><td>2014</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 45366</td><td>$

properties , plants , and equipment . properties , plants , and equipment are recorded at cost . depreciation is recorded principally on the straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the assets . the following table details the weighted-average useful lives of structures and machinery and equipment by reporting segment ( numbers in years ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>segment</td><td>structures</td><td>machinery and equipment</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>global rolled products</td><td>31</td><td>21</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>engineered products and solutions</td><td>29</td><td>17</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>transportation and construction solutions</td><td>27</td><td>19</td></tr></table> gains or losses from the sale of assets are generally recorded in other income , net ( see policy below for assets classified as held for sale and discontinued operations ) . repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred . interest related to the construction of qualifying assets is capitalized as part of the construction costs . properties , plants , and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets ( asset group ) may not be recoverable . recoverability of assets is determined by comparing the estimated undiscounted net cash flows of the operations related to the assets ( asset group ) to their carrying amount . an impairment loss would be recognized when the carrying amount of the assets ( asset group ) exceeds the estimated undiscounted net cash flows . the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded is calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the assets ( asset group ) over their fair value , with fair value determined using the best information available , which generally is a discounted cash flow ( dcf ) model . the determination of what constitutes an asset group , the associated estimated undiscounted net cash flows , and the estimated useful lives of assets also require significant judgments . goodwill and other intangible assets . goodwill is not amortized ; instead , it is reviewed for impairment annually ( in the fourth quarter ) or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or if a decision is made to sell or exit a business . a significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred . such indicators may include deterioration in general economic conditions , negative developments in equity and credit markets , adverse changes in the markets in which an entity operates , increases in input costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows , or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods , among others . the fair value that could be realized in an actual transaction may differ from that used to evaluate the impairment of goodwill . goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level , which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment . arconic has eight reporting units , of which four are included in the engineered products and solutions segment , three are included in the transportation and construction solutions segment , and the remaining reporting unit is the global rolled products segment . more than 70% ( 70 % ) of arconic 2019s total goodwill is allocated to two reporting units as follows : arconic fastening systems and rings ( afsr ) ( $ 2200 ) and arconic power and propulsion ( app ) ( $ 1647 ) businesses , both of which are included in the engineered products and solutions segment . these amounts include an allocation of corporate 2019s goodwill . in november 2014 , arconic acquired firth rixson ( see note f ) , and , as a result recognized $ 1801 in goodwill . this amount was allocated between the afsr and arconic forgings and extrusions ( afe ) reporting units , which is part of the engineered products and solutions segment . in march and july 2015 , arconic acquired tital and rti , respectively , ( see note f ) and recognized $ 117 and $ 298 , respectively , in goodwill . the goodwill amount related to tital was allocated to the app reporting unit and the amount related to rti was allocated to arconic titanium and engineered products ( atep ) , a new arconic reporting unit that consists solely of the acquired rti business and is part of the engineered products and solutions segment . in reviewing goodwill for impairment , an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not ( greater than 50% ( 50 % ) ) that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount . if an entity elects to perform a qualitative assessment and determines that an impairment is more likely than not , the entity is then required to perform the .

aeronautics 2019 operating profit for 2012 increased $ 69 million , or 4% ( 4 % ) , compared to 2011 . the increase was attributable to higher operating profit of approximately $ 105 million from c-130 programs due to an increase in risk retirements ; about $ 50 million from f-16 programs due to higher aircraft deliveries partially offset by a decline in risk retirements ; approximately $ 50 million from f-35 production contracts due to increased production volume and risk retirements ; and about $ 50 million from the completion of purchased intangible asset amortization on certain f-16 contracts . partially offsetting the increases was lower operating profit of about $ 90 million from the f-35 development contract primarily due to the inception-to-date effect of reducing the profit booking rate in the second quarter of 2012 ; approximately $ 50 million from decreased production volume and risk retirements on the f-22 program partially offset by a resolution of a contractual matter in the second quarter of 2012 ; and approximately $ 45 million primarily due to a decrease in risk retirements on other sustainment activities partially offset by various other aeronautics programs due to increased risk retirements and volume . operating profit for c-5 programs was comparable to 2011 . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters described above , were approximately $ 30 million lower for 2012 compared to 2011 . backlog backlog decreased in 2013 compared to 2012 mainly due to lower orders on f-16 , c-5 , and c-130 programs , partially offset by higher orders on the f-35 program . backlog decreased in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to lower orders on f-35 and c-130 programs , partially offset by higher orders on f-16 programs . trends we expect aeronautics 2019 net sales to increase in 2014 in the mid-single digit percentage range as compared to 2013 primarily due to an increase in net sales from f-35 production contracts . operating profit is expected to increase slightly from 2013 , resulting in a slight decrease in operating margins between the years due to program mix . information systems & global solutions our is&gs business segment provides advanced technology systems and expertise , integrated information technology solutions , and management services across a broad spectrum of applications for civil , defense , intelligence , and other government customers . is&gs has a portfolio of many smaller contracts as compared to our other business segments . is&gs has been impacted by the continued downturn in federal information technology budgets . is&gs 2019 operating results included the following ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2013</td><td>2012</td><td>2011</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 8367</td><td>$ 8846</td><td>$ 9381</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>operating profit</td><td>759</td><td>808</td><td>874</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>operating margins</td><td>9.1% ( 9.1 % )</td><td>9.1% ( 9.1 % )</td><td>9.3% ( 9.3 % )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>backlog at year-end</td><td>8300</td><td>8700</td><td>9300</td></tr></table> 2013 compared to 2012 is&gs 2019 net sales decreased $ 479 million , or 5% ( 5 % ) , for 2013 compared to 2012 . the decrease was attributable to lower net sales of about $ 495 million due to decreased volume on various programs ( command and control programs for classified customers , ngi , and eram programs ) ; and approximately $ 320 million due to the completion of certain programs ( such as total information processing support services , the transportation worker identification credential ( twic ) , and odin ) . the decrease was partially offset by higher net sales of about $ 340 million due to the start-up of certain programs ( such as the disa gsm-o and the national science foundation antarctic support ) . is&gs 2019 operating profit decreased $ 49 million , or 6% ( 6 % ) , for 2013 compared to 2012 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of about $ 55 million due to certain programs nearing the end of their lifecycles , partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $ 15 million due to the start-up of certain programs . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters , were comparable for 2013 compared to 2012 compared to 2011 is&gs 2019 net sales for 2012 decreased $ 535 million , or 6% ( 6 % ) , compared to 2011 . the decrease was attributable to lower net sales of approximately $ 485 million due to the substantial completion of various programs during 2011 ( primarily jtrs ; odin ; and u.k . census ) ; and about $ 255 million due to lower volume on numerous other programs ( primarily hanford; .

rental and management operations new site revenue growth . during the year ended december 31 , 2014 , we grew our portfolio of communications real estate through the acquisition and construction of approximately 8450 sites . in a majority of our international markets , the acquisition or construction of new sites results in increased pass-through revenues ( such as ground rent or power and fuel costs ) and expenses . we continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire communications real estate portfolios , both domestically and internationally , to determine whether they meet our risk-adjusted hurdle rates and whether we believe we can effectively integrate them into our existing portfolio. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>new sites ( acquired or constructed )</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td><td>2012</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>domestic</td><td>900</td><td>5260</td><td>960</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>international ( 1 )</td><td>7550</td><td>7810</td><td>7850</td></tr></table> ( 1 ) the majority of sites acquired or constructed in 2014 were in brazil , india and mexico ; in 2013 were in brazil , colombia , costa rica , india , mexico and south africa ; and in 2012 were in brazil , germany , india and uganda . rental and management operations expenses . direct operating expenses incurred by our domestic and international rental and management segments include direct site level expenses and consist primarily of ground rent and power and fuel costs , some of which may be passed through to our tenants , as well as property taxes , repairs and maintenance . these segment direct operating expenses exclude all segment and corporate selling , general , administrative and development expenses , which are aggregated into one line item entitled selling , general , administrative and development expense in our consolidated statements of operations . in general , our domestic and international rental and management segments 2019 selling , general , administrative and development expenses do not significantly increase as a result of adding incremental tenants to our legacy sites and typically increase only modestly year-over-year . as a result , leasing additional space to new tenants on our legacy sites provides significant incremental cash flow . we may , however , incur additional segment selling , general , administrative and development expenses as we increase our presence in geographic areas where we have recently launched operations or are focused on expanding our portfolio . our profit margin growth is therefore positively impacted by the addition of new tenants to our legacy sites and can be temporarily diluted by our development activities . network development services segment revenue growth . as we continue to focus on growing our rental and management operations , we anticipate that our network development services revenue will continue to represent a small percentage of our total revenues . non-gaap financial measures included in our analysis of our results of operations are discussions regarding earnings before interest , taxes , depreciation , amortization and accretion , as adjusted ( 201cadjusted ebitda 201d ) , funds from operations , as defined by the national association of real estate investment trusts ( 201cnareit ffo 201d ) and adjusted funds from operations ( 201caffo 201d ) . we define adjusted ebitda as net income before income ( loss ) on discontinued operations , net ; income ( loss ) on equity method investments ; income tax benefit ( provision ) ; other income ( expense ) ; gain ( loss ) on retirement of long-term obligations ; interest expense ; interest income ; other operating income ( expense ) ; depreciation , amortization and accretion ; and stock-based compensation expense . nareit ffo is defined as net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate , real estate related impairment charges , real estate related depreciation , amortization and accretion and dividends declared on preferred stock , and including adjustments for ( i ) unconsolidated affiliates and ( ii ) noncontrolling interest. .

the aeronautics segment generally includes fewer programs that have much larger sales and operating results than programs included in the other segments . due to the large number of comparatively smaller programs in the remaining segments , the discussion of the results of operations of those business segments focuses on lines of business within the segment rather than on specific programs . the following tables of financial information and related discussion of the results of operations of our business segments are consistent with the presentation of segment information in note 5 to the financial statements . we have a number of programs that are classified by the u.s . government and cannot be specifically described . the operating results of these classified programs are included in our consolidated and business segment results , and are subjected to the same oversight and internal controls as our other programs . aeronautics our aeronautics business segment is engaged in the research , design , development , manufacture , integration , sustainment , support , and upgrade of advanced military aircraft , including combat and air mobility aircraft , unmanned air vehicles , and related technologies . key combat aircraft programs include the f-35 lightning ii , f-16 fighting falcon , and f-22 raptor fighter aircraft . key air mobility programs include the c-130j super hercules and the c-5m super galaxy . aeronautics provides logistics support , sustainment , and upgrade modification services for its aircraft . aeronautics 2019 operating results included the following : ( in millions ) 2010 2009 2008 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( in millions )</td><td>2010</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 13235</td><td>$ 12201</td><td>$ 11473</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>operating profit</td><td>1502</td><td>1577</td><td>1433</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>operating margin</td><td>11.3% ( 11.3 %

( 8 % ) in 2010 compared to 2009 . sales increased in all three lines of business during the year . the $ 800 million increase in air mobility primarily was attributable to higher volume on c-130 programs , including deliveries and support activities , as well as higher volume on the c-5 reliability enhancement and re-engining program ( rerp ) . there were 25 c-130j deliveries in 2010 compared to 16 in 2009 . the $ 179 million increase in combat aircraft principally was due to higher volume on f-35 production contracts , which partially was offset by lower volume on the f-35 sdd contract and a decline in volume on f-16 , f-22 and other combat aircraft programs . there were 20 f-16 deliveries in 2010 compared to 31 in 2009 . the $ 55 million increase in other aeronautics programs mainly was due to higher volume on p-3 and advanced development programs , which partially were offset by a decline in volume on sustainment activities . net sales for aeronautics increased by 6% ( 6 % ) in 2009 compared to 2008 . during the year , sales increased in all three lines of business . the increase of $ 296 million in air mobility 2019s sales primarily was attributable to higher volume on the c-130 programs , including deliveries and support activities . there were 16 c-130j deliveries in 2009 and 12 in 2008 . combat aircraft sales increased $ 316 million principally due to higher volume on the f-35 program and increases in f-16 deliveries , which partially were offset by lower volume on f-22 and other combat aircraft programs . there were 31 f-16 deliveries in 2009 compared to 28 in 2008 . the $ 116 million increase in other aeronautics programs mainly was due to higher volume on p-3 programs and advanced development programs , which partially were offset by declines in sustainment activities . operating profit for the segment decreased by 5% ( 5 % ) in 2010 compared to 2009 . a decline in operating profit in combat aircraft partially was offset by increases in other aeronautics programs and air mobility . the $ 149 million decrease in combat aircraft 2019s operating profit primarily was due to lower volume and a decrease in the level of favorable performance adjustments on the f-22 program , the f-35 sdd contract and f-16 and other combat aircraft programs in 2010 . these decreases more than offset increased operating profit resulting from higher volume and improved performance on f-35 production contracts in 2010 . the $ 35 million increase in other aeronautics programs mainly was attributable to higher volume and improved performance on p-3 and advanced development programs as well as an increase in the level of favorable performance adjustments on sustainment activities in 2010 . the $ 19 million increase in air mobility operating profit primarily was due to higher volume and improved performance in 2010 on c-130j support activities , which more than offset a decrease in operating profit due to a lower level of favorable performance adjustments on c-130j deliveries in 2010 . the remaining change in operating profit is attributable to an increase in other income , net between the comparable periods . aeronautics 2019 2010 operating margins have decreased when compared to 2009 . the operating margin decrease reflects the life cycles of our significant programs . specifically , aeronautics is performing more development and initial production work on the f-35 program and is performing less work on more mature programs such as the f-22 and f-16 . development and initial production contracts yield lower profits than mature full rate programs . accordingly , while net sales increased in 2010 relative to 2009 , operating profit decreased and consequently operating margins have declined. .

31 , 2015 , the price was r$ 218/mwh . after the expiration of contract with eletropaulo , tiet ea's strategy is to contract most of its physical guarantee , as described in regulatory framework section below , and sell the remaining portion in the spot market . tiet ea's strategy is reassessed from time to time according to changes in market conditions , hydrology and other factors . tiet ea has been continuously selling its available energy from 2016 forward through medium-term bilateral contracts of three to five years . as of december 31 , 2016 , tiet ea's contracted portfolio position is 95% ( 95 % ) and 88% ( 88 % ) with average prices of r$ 157/ mwh and r$ 159/mwh ( inflation adjusted until december 2016 ) for 2016 and 2017 , respectively . as brazil is mostly a hydro-based country with energy prices highly tied to the hydrological situation , the deterioration of the hydrology since the beginning of 2014 caused an increase in energy prices going forward . tiet ea is closely monitoring and analyzing system supply conditions to support energy commercialization decisions . under the concession agreement , tiet ea has an obligation to increase its capacity by 15% ( 15 % ) . tiet ea , as well as other concession generators , have not yet met this requirement due to regulatory , environmental , hydrological and fuel constraints . the state of s e3o paulo does not have a sufficient potential for wind power and only has a small remaining potential for hydro projects . as such , the capacity increases in the state will mostly be derived from thermal gas capacity projects . due to the highly complex process to obtain an environmental license for coal projects , tiet ea decided to fulfill its obligation with gas-fired projects in line with the federal government plans . petrobras refuses to supply natural gas and to offer capacity in its pipelines and regasification terminals . therefore , there are no regulations for natural gas swaps in place , and it is unfeasible to bring natural gas to aes tiet ea . a legal case has been initiated by the state of s e3o paulo requiring the investment to be performed . tiet ea is in the process of analyzing options to meet the obligation . uruguaiana is a 640 mw gas-fired combined cycle power plant located in the town of uruguaiana in the state of rio grande do sul , commissioned in december 2000 . aes manages and has a 46% ( 46 % ) economic interest in the plant with the remaining interest held by bndes . the plant's operations were suspended in april 2009 due to the unavailability of gas . aes has evaluated several alternatives to bring gas supply on a competitive basis to uruguaiana . one of the challenges is the capacity restrictions on the argentinean pipeline , especially during the winter season when gas demand in argentina is very high . the plant operated on a short-term basis during february and march 2013 , march through may 2014 , and february through may 2015 due to the short-term supply of lng for the facility . the plant did not operate in 2016 . uruguaiana continues to work toward securing gas on a long-term basis . market structure 2014 brazil has installed capacity of 150136 mw , which is 65% ( 65 % ) hydroelectric , 19% ( 19 % ) thermal and 16% ( 16 % ) renewable ( biomass and wind ) . brazil's national grid is divided into four subsystems . tiet ea is in the southeast and uruguaiana is in the south subsystems of the national grid . regulatory framework 2014 in brazil , the ministry of mines and energy determines the maximum amount of energy that a plant can sell , called physical guarantee , which represents the long-term average expected energy production of the plant . under current rules , physical guarantee can be sold to distribution companies through long- term regulated auctions or under unregulated bilateral contracts with large consumers or energy trading companies . the national system operator ( "ons" ) is responsible for coordinating and controlling the operation of the national grid . the ons dispatches generators based on hydrological conditions , reservoir levels , electricity demand and the prices of fuel and thermal generation . given the importance of hydro generation in the country , the ons sometimes reduces dispatch of hydro facilities and increases dispatch of thermal facilities to protect reservoir levels in the system . in brazil , the system operator controls all hydroelectric generation dispatch and reservoir levels . a mechanism known as the energy reallocation mechanism ( "mre" ) was created to share hydrological risk across mre hydro generators . if the hydro plants generate less than the total mre physical guarantee , the hydro generators may need to purchase energy in the short-term market to fulfill their contract obligations . when total hydro generation is higher than the total mre physical guarantee , the surplus is proportionally shared among its participants and they are able to make extra revenue selling the excess energy on the spot market . the consequences of unfavorable hydrology are ( i ) thermal plants more expensive to the system being dispatched , ( ii ) lower hydropower generation with deficits in the mre and ( iii ) high spot prices . aneel defines the spot price cap for electricity in the brazilian market . the spot price caps as defined by aneel and average spot prices by calendar year are as follows ( r$ / . <table

f0b7 financial expectations 2013 we are cautious about the economic environment , but , assuming that industrial production grows approximately 3% ( 3 % ) as projected , volume should exceed 2013 levels . even with no volume growth , we expect earnings to exceed 2013 earnings , generated by core pricing gains , on-going network improvements and productivity initiatives . we expect that free cash flow for 2014 will be lower than 2013 as higher cash from operations will be more than offset by additional cash of approximately $ 400 million that will be used to pay income taxes that were previously deferred through bonus depreciation , increased capital spend and higher dividend payments . results of operations operating revenues millions 2013 2012 2011 % ( % ) change 2013 v 2012 % ( % ) change 2012 v 2011 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>millions</td><td>2013</td><td>2012</td><td>2011</td><td>% ( % ) change 2013 v 2012</td><td>% ( % ) change 2012 v 2011</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>freight revenues</td><td>$ 20684</td><td>$ 19686</td><td>$ 18508</td><td>5% ( 5 % )</td><td>6% ( 6 % )</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>other revenues</td><td>1279</td><td>1240</td><td>1049</td><td>3</td><td>18</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>total</td><td>$ 21963</td><td>$ 20926</td><td>$ 19557</td><td>5% ( 5 % )</td><td>7% ( 7 % )</td></tr></table> we generate freight revenues by transporting freight or other materials from our six commodity groups . freight revenues vary with volume ( carloads ) and arc . changes in price , traffic mix and fuel surcharges drive arc . we provide some of our customers with contractual incentives for meeting or exceeding specified cumulative volumes or shipping to and from specific locations , which we record as reductions to freight revenues based on the actual or projected future shipments . we recognize freight revenues as shipments move from origin to destination . we allocate freight revenues between reporting periods based on the relative transit time in each reporting period and recognize expenses as we incur them . other revenues include revenues earned by our subsidiaries , revenues from our commuter rail operations , and accessorial revenues , which we earn when customers retain equipment owned or controlled by us or when we perform additional services such as switching or storage . we recognize other revenues as we perform services or meet contractual obligations . freight revenues from five of our six commodity groups increased during 2013 compared to 2012 . revenue from agricultural products was down slightly compared to 2012 . arc increased 5% ( 5 % ) , driven by core pricing gains , shifts in business mix and an automotive logistics management arrangement . volume was essentially flat year over year as growth in automotives , frac sand , crude oil and domestic intermodal offset declines in coal , international intermodal and grain shipments . freight revenues from four of our six commodity groups increased during 2012 compared to 2011 . revenues from coal and agricultural products declined during the year . our franchise diversity allowed us to take advantage of growth from shale-related markets ( crude oil , frac sand and pipe ) and strong automotive manufacturing , which offset volume declines from coal and agricultural products . arc increased 7% ( 7 % ) , driven by core pricing gains and higher fuel cost recoveries . improved fuel recovery provisions and higher fuel prices , including the lag effect of our programs ( surcharges trail fluctuations in fuel price by approximately two months ) , combined to increase revenues from fuel surcharges . our fuel surcharge programs generated freight revenues of $ 2.6 billion , $ 2.6 billion , and $ 2.2 billion in 2013 , 2012 , and 2011 , respectively . fuel surcharge in 2013 was essentially flat versus 2012 as lower fuel price offset improved fuel recovery provisions and the lag effect of our programs ( surcharges trail fluctuations in fuel price by approximately two months ) . rising fuel prices and more shipments subject to fuel surcharges drove the increase from 2011 to 2012 . in 2013 , other revenue increased from 2012 due primarily to miscellaneous contract revenue and higher revenues at our subsidiaries that broker intermodal and automotive services . in 2012 , other revenues increased from 2011 due primarily to higher revenues at our subsidiaries that broker intermodal and automotive services . assessorial revenues also increased in 2012 due to container revenue related to an increase in intermodal shipments. .

is&gs 2019 operating profit decreased $ 60 million , or 8% ( 8 % ) , for 2014 compared to 2013 . the decrease was primarily attributable to the activities mentioned above for sales , lower risk retirements and reserves recorded on an international program , partially offset by severance recoveries related to the restructuring announced in november 2013 of approximately $ 20 million for 2014 . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments , were approximately $ 30 million lower for 2014 compared to 2013 . 2013 compared to 2012 is&gs 2019 net sales decreased $ 479 million , or 5% ( 5 % ) , for 2013 compared to 2012 . the decrease was attributable to lower net sales of about $ 495 million due to decreased volume on various programs ( command and control programs for classified customers , ngi and eram programs ) ; and approximately $ 320 million due to the completion of certain programs ( such as total information processing support services , the transportation worker identification credential and the outsourcing desktop initiative for nasa ) . the decrease was partially offset by higher net sales of about $ 340 million due to the start-up of certain programs ( such as the disa gsm-o and the national science foundation antarctic support ) . is&gs 2019 operating profit decreased $ 49 million , or 6% ( 6 % ) , for 2013 compared to 2012 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower operating profit of about $ 55 million due to certain programs nearing the end of their life cycles , partially offset by higher operating profit of approximately $ 15 million due to the start-up of certain programs . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters , were comparable for 2013 compared to 2012 . backlog backlog increased in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to several multi-year international awards and various u.s . multi-year extensions . this increase was partially offset by declining activities on various direct warfighter support and command and control programs impacted by defense budget reductions . backlog decreased in 2013 compared to 2012 primarily due to lower orders on several programs ( such as eram and ngi ) , higher sales on certain programs ( the national science foundation antarctic support and the disa gsm-o ) and declining activities on several smaller programs primarily due to the continued downturn in federal information technology budgets . trends we expect is&gs 2019 net sales to decline in 2015 in the low to mid single digit percentage range as compared to 2014 , primarily driven by the continued downturn in federal information technology budgets , an increasingly competitive environment , including the disaggregation of existing contracts , and new contract award delays , partially offset by increased sales resulting from acquisitions that occurred during the year . operating profit is expected to decline in the low double digit percentage range in 2015 primarily driven by volume and an increase in intangible amortization from 2014 acquisition activity , resulting in 2015 margins that are lower than 2014 results . missiles and fire control our mfc business segment provides air and missile defense systems ; tactical missiles and air-to-ground precision strike weapon systems ; logistics and other technical services ; fire control systems ; mission operations support , readiness , engineering support and integration services ; and manned and unmanned ground vehicles . mfc 2019s major programs include pac-3 , thaad , multiple launch rocket system , hellfire , jassm , javelin , apache , sniper ae , low altitude navigation and targeting infrared for night ( lantirn ae ) and sof clss . mfc 2019s operating results included the following ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td><td>2012</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 7680</td><td>$ 7757</td><td>$ 7457</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>operating profit</td><td>1358</td><td>1431</td><td>1256</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>operating margins</td><td>17.7% ( 17.7 % )</td><td>18.4% ( 18.4 % )</td><td>16.8% ( 16.8 % )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>backlog at year-end</td><td>$ 13600</td><td>$ 15000</td><td>$ 14700</td></tr></table> 2014 compared to 2013 mfc 2019s net sales for 2014 decreased $ 77 million , or 1% ( 1 % ) , compared to 2013 . the decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $ 385 million for technical services programs due to decreased volume reflecting market pressures ; and about $ 115 million for tactical missile programs due to fewer deliveries ( primarily high mobility artillery .

the long term . in addition , we have focused on building relationships with large multinational carriers such as airtel , telef f3nica s.a . and vodafone group plc . we believe that consistent carrier investments in their networks across our international markets position us to generate meaningful organic revenue growth going forward . in emerging markets , such as ghana , india , nigeria and uganda , wireless networks tend to be significantly less advanced than those in the united states , and initial voice networks continue to be deployed in underdeveloped areas . a majority of consumers in these markets still utilize basic wireless services , predominantly on feature phones , while advanced device penetration remains low . in more developed urban locations within these markets , early-stage data network deployments are underway . carriers are focused on completing voice network build-outs while also investing in initial data networks as wireless data usage and smartphone penetration within their customer bases begin to accelerate . in markets with rapidly evolving network technology , such as south africa and most of the countries in latin america where we do business , initial voice networks , for the most part , have already been built out , and carriers are focused on 3g network build outs , with select investments in 4g technology . consumers in these regions are increasingly adopting smartphones and other advanced devices , and as a result , the usage of bandwidth-intensive mobile applications is growing materially . recent spectrum auctions in these rapidly evolving markets have allowed incumbent carriers to accelerate their data network deployments and have also enabled new entrants to begin initial investments in data networks . smartphone penetration and wireless data usage in these markets are growing rapidly , which typically requires that carriers continue to invest in their networks in order to maintain and augment their quality of service . finally , in markets with more mature network technology , such as germany , carriers are focused on deploying 4g data networks to account for rapidly increasing wireless data usage amongst their customer base . with higher smartphone and advanced device penetration and significantly higher per capita data usage , carrier investment in networks is focused on 4g coverage and capacity . we believe that the network technology migration we have seen in the united states , which has led to significantly denser networks and meaningful new business commencements for us over a number of years , will ultimately be replicated in our less advanced international markets . as a result , we expect to be able to leverage our extensive international portfolio of approximately 60190

unaudited supplemental pro forma financial data above has been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the historical results of sikorskywith pro forma adjustments , net of tax , that assume the acquisition occurred on january 1 , 2015 . significant pro forma adjustments include the recognition of additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets and additional interest expense related to the short-term debt used to finance the acquisition . these adjustments assume the application of fair value adjustments to intangibles and the debt issuance occurred on january 1 , 2015 and are approximated as follows : amortization expense of $ 125million and interest expense of $ 40million . in addition , significant nonrecurring adjustments include the elimination of a $ 72million pension curtailment loss , net of tax , recognized in 2015 and the elimination of a $ 58 million income tax charge related to historic earnings of foreign subsidiaries recognized by sikorsky in 2015 . the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information also reflects an increase in interest expense , net of tax , of approximately $ 110 million in 2015 . the increase in interest expense is the result of assuming the november 2015 notes were issued on january 1 , 2015 . proceeds of the november 2015 notes were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 364- day facility used to finance a portion of the purchase price of sikorsky , as contemplated at the date of acquisition . the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information does not reflect the realization of any expected ongoing cost or revenue synergies relating to the integration of the two companies . further , the pro forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition , related financing and associated notes issuance and repayment of the 364-day facility had been consummated on january 1 , 2015 , nor are they

although many clients use both active and passive strategies , the application of these strategies differs greatly . for example , clients may use index products to gain exposure to a market or asset class pending reallocation to an active manager . this has the effect of increasing turnover of index aum . in addition , institutional non-etp index assignments tend to be very large ( multi- billion dollars ) and typically reflect low fee rates . this has the potential to exaggerate the significance of net flows in institutional index products on blackrock 2019s revenues and earnings . equity year-end 2012 equity aum of $ 1.845 trillion increased by $ 285.4 billion , or 18% ( 18 % ) , from the end of 2011 , largely due to flows into regional , country-specific and global mandates and the effect of higher market valuations . equity aum growth included $ 54.0 billion in net new business and $ 3.6 billion in new assets related to the acquisition of claymore . net new business of $ 54.0 billion was driven by net inflows of $ 53.0 billion and $ 19.1 billion into ishares and non-etp index accounts , respectively . passive inflows were offset by active net outflows of $ 18.1 billion , with net outflows of $ 10.0 billion and $ 8.1 billion from fundamental and scientific active equity products , respectively . passive strategies represented 84% ( 84 % ) of equity aum with the

( 9 % ) managed for clients in emea and asia-pacific , respectively . blackrock 2019s effective fee rates fluctuate due to changes in aum mix . approximately half of blackrock 2019s equity aum is tied to international markets , including emerging markets , which tend to have higher fee rates than similar u.s . equity strategies . accordingly , fluctuations in international equity markets , which do not consistently move in tandem with u.s . markets , may have a greater impact on blackrock 2019s effective equity fee rates and revenues . fixed income fixed income aum ended 2012 at $ 1.259 trillion , rising $ 11.6 billion , or 1% ( 1 % ) , relative to december 31 , 2011 . growth in aum reflected $ 43.3 billion in net new business , excluding the two large previously mentioned low-fee outflows , $ 75.4 billion in market and foreign exchange gains and $ 3.0 billion in new assets related to claymore . net new business was led by flows into domestic specialty and global bond mandates , with net inflows of $ 28.8 billion , $ 13.6 billion and $ 3.1 billion into ishares , non-etp index and model-based products , respectively , partially offset by net outflows of $ 2.2 billion from fundamental strategies . fixed income aum was split between passive and active strategies with 48% ( 48 % ) and 52% ( 52 % ) , respectively . institutional investors represented 74% ( 74 % ) of fixed income aum while ishares and retail and hnw represented 15% ( 15 % ) and 11% ( 11 % ) , respectively . at year-end 2012 , 59% ( 59 % ) of fixed income aum was managed for clients in the americas compared with

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 $ 2.3 billion for 2013 , $ 2.1 billion for 2012 , and $ 2.2 billion for 2011 . 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 . 12 . accounts payable and other current liabilities dec . 31 , dec . 31 , millions 2013 2012 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>millions</td><td>dec . 31 2013</td><td>dec . 312012</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>accounts payable</td><td>$ 803</td><td>$ 825</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>income and other taxes payable</td><td>491</td><td>368</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>accrued wages and vacation</td><td>385</td><td>376</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>dividends payable</td><td>356</td><td>318</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>accrued casualty costs</td><td>207</td><td>213</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>interest payable</td><td>169</td><td>172</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>equipment rents payable</td><td>96</td><td>95</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>other</td><td>579</td><td>556</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>total accounts payable and othercurrent liabilities</td><td>$ 3086</td><td>$ 2923</td></tr></table> .

entergy corporation and subsidiaries management's financial discussion and analysis net revenue 2004 compared to 2003 net revenue , which is entergy's measure of gross margin , consists of operating revenues net of : 1 ) fuel , fuel-related , and purchased power expenses and 2 ) other regulatory credits . following is an analysis of the change in net revenue comparing 2004 to 2003. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>( in millions )</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>2003 net revenue</td><td>$ 4214.5</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>volume/weather</td><td>68.3</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>summer capacity charges</td><td>17.4</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>base rates</td><td>10.6</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>deferred fuel cost revisions</td><td>-46.3 ( 46.3 )</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>price applied to unbilled sales</td><td>-19.3 ( 19.3 )</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>other</td><td>-1.2 ( 1.2 )</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>2004 net revenue</td><td>$ 4244.0</td></tr></table> the volume/weather variance resulted primarily from increased usage , partially offset by the effect of milder weather on sales during 2004 compared to 2003 . billed usage increased a total of 2261 gwh in the industrial and commercial sectors . the summer capacity charges variance was due to the amortization in 2003 at entergy gulf states and entergy louisiana of deferred capacity charges for the summer of 2001 . entergy gulf states' amortization began in june 2002 and ended in may 2003 . entergy louisiana's amortization began in august 2002 and ended in july 2003 . base rates increased net revenue due to a base rate increase at entergy new orleans that became effective in june 2003 . the deferred fuel cost revisions variance resulted primarily from a revision in 2003 to an unbilled sales pricing estimate to more closely align the fuel component of that pricing with expected recoverable fuel costs at entergy louisiana . deferred fuel cost revisions also decreased net revenue due to a revision in 2004 to the estimate of fuel costs filed for recovery at entergy arkansas in the march 2004 energy cost recovery rider . the price applied to unbilled sales variance resulted from a decrease in fuel price in 2004 caused primarily by the effect of nuclear plant outages in 2003 on average fuel costs . gross operating revenues and regulatory credits gross operating revenues include an increase in fuel cost recovery revenues of $ 475 million and $ 18 million in electric and gas sales , respectively , primarily due to higher fuel rates in 2004 resulting from increases in the market prices of purchased power and natural gas . as such , this revenue increase is offset by increased fuel and purchased power expenses . other regulatory credits increased primarily due to the following : 2022 cessation of the grand gulf accelerated recovery tariff that was suspended in july 2003 ; 2022 the amortization in 2003 of deferred capacity charges for summer 2001 power purchases at entergy gulf states and entergy louisiana ; 2022 the deferral in 2004 of $ 14.3 million of capacity charges related to generation resource planning as allowed by the lpsc ; 2022 the deferral in 2004 by entergy louisiana of $ 11.4 million related to the voluntary severance program , in accordance with a proposed stipulation entered into with the lpsc staff ; and .

management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations state street corporation | 90 table 30 : total deposits average balance december 31 years ended december 31 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( in millions )</td><td>december 31 2017</td><td>december 31 2016</td><td>december 31 2017</td><td>2016</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>client deposits</td><td>$ 180149</td><td>$ 176693</td><td>$ 158996</td><td>$ 156029</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>wholesale cds</td><td>4747</td><td>10470</td><td>4812</td><td>14456</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>total deposits</td><td>$ 184896</td><td>$ 187163</td><td>$ 163808</td><td>$ 170485</td></tr></table> short-term funding our on-balance sheet liquid assets are also an integral component of our liquidity management strategy . these assets provide liquidity through maturities of the assets , but more importantly , they provide us with the ability to raise funds by pledging the securities as collateral for borrowings or through outright sales . in addition , our access to the global capital markets gives us the ability to source incremental funding at reasonable rates of interest from wholesale investors . as discussed earlier under 201casset liquidity , 201d state street bank's membership in the fhlb allows for advances of liquidity with varying terms against high-quality collateral . short-term secured funding also comes in the form of securities lent or sold under agreements to repurchase . these transactions are short-term in nature , generally overnight , and are collateralized by high-quality investment securities . these balances were $ 2.84 billion and $ 4.40 billion as of december 31 , 2017 and december 31 , 2016 , respectively . state street bank currently maintains a line of credit with a financial institution of cad 1.40 billion , or approximately $ 1.11 billion as of december 31 , 2017 , to support its canadian securities processing operations . the line of credit has no stated termination date and is cancelable by either party with prior notice . as of december 31 , 2017 , there was no balance outstanding on this line of credit . long-term funding we have the ability to issue debt and equity securities under our current universal shelf registration to meet current commitments and business needs , including accommodating the transaction and cash management needs of our clients . in addition , state street bank , a wholly owned subsidiary of the parent company , also has authorization to issue up to $ 5 billion in unsecured senior debt and an additional $ 500 million of subordinated debt . agency credit ratings our ability to maintain consistent access to liquidity is fostered by the maintenance of high investment-grade ratings as measured by the major independent credit rating agencies . factors essential to maintaining high credit ratings include : 2022 diverse and stable core earnings ; 2022 relative market position ; 2022 strong risk management ; 2022 strong capital ratios ; 2022 diverse liquidity sources , including the global capital markets and client deposits ; 2022 strong liquidity monitoring procedures ; and 2022 preparedness for current or future regulatory developments . high ratings limit borrowing costs and enhance our liquidity by : 2022 providing assurance for unsecured funding and depositors ; 2022 increasing the potential market for our debt and improving our ability to offer products ; 2022 serving markets ; and 2022 engaging in transactions in which clients value high credit ratings . a downgrade or reduction of our credit ratings could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity by restricting our ability to access the capital markets , which could increase the related cost of funds . in turn , this could cause the sudden and large-scale withdrawal of unsecured deposits by our clients , which could lead to draw-downs of unfunded commitments to extend credit or trigger requirements under securities purchase commitments ; or require additional collateral or force terminations of certain trading derivative contracts . a majority of our derivative contracts have been entered into under bilateral agreements with counterparties who may require us to post collateral or terminate the transactions based on changes in our credit ratings . we assess the impact of these arrangements by determining the collateral that would be required assuming a downgrade by all rating agencies . the additional collateral or termination payments related to our net derivative liabilities under these arrangements that could have been called by counterparties in the event of a downgrade in our credit ratings below levels specified in the agreements is disclosed in note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8 , financial statements and supplementary data , of this form 10-k . other funding sources , such as secured financing transactions and other margin requirements , for which there are no explicit triggers , could also be adversely affected. .

changes in the benchmark index component of the 10-year treasury yield . the company def signated these derivatives as cash flow hedges . on october 13 , 2015 , in conjunction with the pricing of the $ 4.5 billion senior notes , the companyr terminated these treasury lock contracts for a cash settlement payment of $ 16 million , which was recorded as a component of other comprehensive earnings and will be reclassified as an adjustment to interest expense over the ten years during which the related interest payments that were hedged will be recognized in income . foreign currency risk we are exposed to foreign currency risks that arise from normal business operations . these risks include the translation of local currency balances of foreign subsidiaries , transaction gains and losses associated with intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries and transactions denominated in currencies other than a location's functional currency . we manage the exposure to these risks through a combination of normal operating activities and the use of foreign currency forward contracts . contracts are denominated in currtt encies of major industrial countries . our exposure to foreign currency exchange risks generally arises from our non-u.s . operations , to the extent they are conducted ind local currency . changes in foreign currency exchange rates affect translations of revenues denominated in currencies other than the u.s . dollar . during the years ended december 31 , 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , we generated approximately $ 1909 million , $ 1336 million and $ 1229 million , respectively , in revenues denominated in currencies other than the u.s . dollar . the major currencies to which our revenues are exposed are the brazilian real , the euro , the british pound sterling and the indian rupee . a 10% ( 10 % ) move in average exchange rates for these currencies ( assuming a simultaneous and immediate 10% ( 10 % ) change in all of such rates for the relevant period ) would have resulted in the following increase or ( decrease ) in our reported revenues for the years ended december 31 , 2016 , 2015 and 2014 ( in millions ) : . <table

effects of currency fluctuations , our international operations' revenues and expenses are generally denominated in local currency , which reduces our economic exposure to foreign exchange risk in those jurisdictions . revenues included $ 100 million and $ 243 million and net earnings included $ 10 million , anrr d $ 31 million , respectively , of unfavorable foreign currency impact during 2016 and 2015 resulting from a stronger u.s . dollar during these years compared to thet preceding year . in 2017 , we expect continued unfavorable foreign currency impact on our operating income resulting from the continued strengthening of the u.s . dollar vs . other currencies . our foreign exchange risk management policy permits the use of derivative instruments , such as forward contracts and options , to reduce volatility in our results of operations and/or cash flows resulting from foreign exchange rate fluctuations . we do not enter into foreign currency derivative instruments for trading purposes or to engage in speculative activitr y . we do periodically enter inttt o foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure to intercompany loans . as of december 31 , 2016 , the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $ 143 million and the fair value was nominal . these derivatives are intended to hedge the foreign exchange risks related to intercompany loans but have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes . we also use currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in costs caused by variations in indian rupee ( "inr" ) exchange rates . as of december 31 , 2016 , the notional amount of these derivatives was approximately $ 7 million and the fair value was ll less than $ 1 million . these inr forward contracts are designated as cash flow hedges . the fair value of these currency forward contracts is determined using currency exchange market rates , obtained from reliable , independent , third m party banks , at the balance sheet date . the fair value of forward contracts is subject to changes in currency exchange rates . the company has no ineffectiveness related to its use of currency forward contracts in connection with inr cash flow hedges . in conjunction with entering into the definitive agreement to acquire clear2pay in september 2014 , we initiated a foreign currency forward contract to purchase euros and sell u.s . dollars to manage the risk arising from fluctuations in exchange rates until the closing because the purchase price was stated in euros . as this derivative did not qualify for hedge accounting , we recorded a charge of $ 16 million in other income ( expense ) , net during the third quarter of 2014 . this forward contract was settled on october 1 , 2014. .
