the company endeavors to actively engage with every insured account posing significant potential asbestos exposure to mt . mckinley . such engagement can take the form of pursuing a final settlement , negotiation , litigation , or the monitoring of claim activity under settlement in place ( 201csip 201d ) agreements . sip agreements generally condition an insurer 2019s payment upon the actual claim experience of the insured and may have annual payment caps or other measures to control the insurer 2019s payments . the company 2019s mt . mckinley operation is currently managing four sip agreements , one of which was executed prior to the acquisition of mt . mckinley in 2000 . the company 2019s preference with respect to coverage settlements is to execute settlements that call for a fixed schedule of payments , because such settlements eliminate future uncertainty . the company has significantly enhanced its classification of insureds by exposure characteristics over time , as well as its analysis by insured for those it considers to be more exposed or active . those insureds identified as relatively less exposed or active are subject to less rigorous , but still active management , with an emphasis on monitoring those characteristics , which may indicate an increasing exposure or levels of activity . the company continually focuses on further enhancement of the detailed estimation processes used to evaluate potential exposure of policyholders . everest re 2019s book of assumed a&e reinsurance is relatively concentrated within a limited number of contracts and for a limited period , from 1974 to 1984 . because the book of business is relatively concentrated and the company has been managing the a&e exposures for many years , its claim staff is familiar with the ceding companies that have generated most of these liabilities in the past and which are therefore most likely to generate future liabilities . the company 2019s claim staff has developed familiarity both with the nature of the business written by its ceding companies and the claims handling and reserving practices of those companies . this level of familiarity enhances the quality of the company 2019s analysis of its exposure through those companies . as a result , the company believes that it can identify those claims on which it has unusual exposure , such as non-products asbestos claims , for concentrated attention . however , in setting reserves for its reinsurance liabilities , the company relies on claims data supplied , both formally and informally by its ceding companies and brokers . this furnished information is not always timely or accurate and can impact the accuracy and timeliness of the company 2019s ultimate loss projections . the following table summarizes the composition of the company 2019s total reserves for a&e losses , gross and net of reinsurance , for the periods indicated: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( dollars in millions )</td><td>years ended december 31 , 2012</td><td>years ended december 31 , 2011</td><td>years ended december 31 , 2010</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>case reserves reported by ceding companies</td><td>$ 138.4</td><td>$ 145.6</td><td>$ 135.4</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>additional case reserves established by the company ( assumed reinsurance ) ( 1 )</td><td>90.6</td><td>102.9</td><td>116.1</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>case reserves established by the company ( direct insurance )</td><td>36.7</td><td>40.6</td><td>38.9</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>incurred but not reported reserves</td><td>177.1</td><td>210.9</td><td>264.4</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>gross reserves</td><td>442.8</td><td>499.9</td><td>554.8</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>reinsurance receivable</td><td>-17.1 ( 17.1 )</td><td>-19.8 ( 19.8 )</td><td>-21.9 ( 21.9 )</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>net reserves</td><td>$ 425.7</td><td>$ 480.2</td><td>$ 532.9</td></tr></table> ( 1 ) additional reserves are case specific reserves established by the company in excess of those reported by the ceding company , based on the company 2019s assessment of the covered loss . ( some amounts may not reconcile due to rounding. ) additional losses , including those relating to latent injuries and other exposures , which are as yet unrecognized , the type or magnitude of which cannot be foreseen by either the company or the industry , may emerge in the future . such future emergence could have material adverse effects on the company 2019s future financial condition , results of operations and cash flows. .

banking ) . the results of the first step of the impairment test showed no indication of impairment in any of the reporting units at any of the periods except december 31 , 2008 and , accordingly , the company did not perform the second step of the impairment test , except for the test performed as of december 31 , 2008 . as of december 31 , 2008 , there was an indication of impairment in the north america consumer banking , latin america consumer banking and emea consumer banking reporting units and , accordingly , the second step of testing was performed on these reporting units . based on the results of the second step of testing , the company recorded a $ 9.6 billion pretax ( $ 8.7 billion after tax ) goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2008 , representing the entire amount of goodwill allocated to these reporting units . the primary cause for the goodwill impairment in the above reporting units was the rapid deterioration in the financial markets , as well as in the global economic outlook particularly during the period beginning mid-november through year end 2008 . this deterioration further weakened the near-term prospects for the financial services industry . these and other factors , including the increased possibility of further government intervention , also resulted in the decline in the company 2019s market capitalization from approximately $ 90 billion at july 1 , 2008 and approximately $ 74 billion at october 31 , 2008 to approximately $ 36 billion at december 31 , 2008 . the more significant fair-value adjustments in the pro forma purchase price allocation in the second step of testing were to fair-value loans and debt and were made to identify and value identifiable intangibles . the adjustments to measure the assets , liabilities and intangibles were for the purpose of measuring the implied fair value of goodwill and such adjustments are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheet . the following table shows reporting units with goodwill balances and the excess of fair value of allocated book value as of december 31 , 2008 . reporting unit ( $ in millions ) fair value as a % ( % ) of allocated book value goodwill ( post-impairment ) . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>reporting unit ( $ inmillions )</td><td>fair value as a % ( % ) of allocated book value</td><td>goodwill ( post-impairment )</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>north america cards</td><td>139% ( 139 % )</td><td>6765</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>international cards</td><td>218% ( 218 % )</td><td>4066</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>asia consumer banking</td><td>293% ( 293 % )</td><td>3106</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>securities & banking</td><td>109% ( 109 % )</td><td>9774</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>global transaction services</td><td>994% ( 994 % )</td><td>1570</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>north america gwm</td><td>386% ( 386 % )</td><td>1259</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>international gwm</td><td>171% ( 171 % )</td><td>592</td></tr></table> while no impairment was noted in step one of our securities and banking reporting unit impairment test at october 31 , 2008 and december 31 , 2008 , goodwill present in that reporting unit may be particularly sensitive to further deterioration in economic conditions . under the market approach for valuing this reporting unit , the earnings multiples and transaction multiples were selected from multiples obtained using data from guideline companies and acquisitions . the selection of the actual multiple considers operating performance and financial condition such as return on equity and net income growth of securities and banking as compared to the guideline companies and acquisitions . for the valuation under the income approach , the company utilized a discount rate which it believes reflects the risk and uncertainty related to the projected cash flows , and selected 2013 as the terminal year . in 2013 , the value was derived assuming a return to historical levels of core-business profitability for the reporting unit , despite the significant losses experienced in 2008 . this assumption is based on management 2019s view that this recovery will occur based upon various macro- economic factors such as the recent u.s . government stimulus actions , restoring marketplace confidence and improved risk-management practices on an industry-wide basis . furthermore , company-specific actions such as its recently announced realignment of its businesses to optimize its global businesses for future profitable growth , will also be a factor in returning the company 2019s core securities and banking business to historical levels . small deterioration in the assumptions used in the valuations , in particular the discount rate and growth rate assumptions used in the net income projections , could significantly affect the company 2019s impairment evaluation and , hence , results . if the future were to differ adversely from management 2019s best estimate of key economic assumptions and associated cash flows were to decrease by a small margin , the company could potentially experience future material impairment charges with respect to the goodwill remaining in our securities and banking reporting unit . any such charges by themselves would not negatively affect the company 2019s tier 1 and total regulatory capital ratios , tangible capital or the company 2019s liquidity position. .

relevant taxing authorities for various tax years . the company regularly assesses the potential outcome of these examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded . while it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position , we believe we have appropriately accrued for our uncertain tax benefits . however , audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements and future events that would impact our previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits and the range of anticipated increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits are subject to significant uncertainty . it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may exceed our provision for current unrecognized tax benefits in amounts that could be material , but cannot be estimated as of december 31 , 2018 . our effective tax rate and net income in any given future period could therefore be materially impacted . 22 . discontinued operations due to a portfolio evaluation in the first half of 2016 , management decided to pursue a strategic shift of its distribution companies in brazil , sul and eletropaulo , to reduce the company's exposure to the brazilian distribution market . the disposals of sul and eletropaulo were completed in october 2016 and june 2018 , respectively . eletropaulo 2014 in november 2017 , eletropaulo converted its preferred shares into ordinary shares and transitioned the listing of those shares to the novo mercado , which is a listing segment of the brazilian stock exchange with the highest standards of corporate governance . upon conversion of the preferred shares into ordinary shares , aes no longer controlled eletropaulo , but maintained significant influence over the business . as a result , the company deconsolidated eletropaulo . after deconsolidation , the company's 17% ( 17 % ) ownership interest was reflected as an equity method investment . the company recorded an after-tax loss on deconsolidation of $ 611 million , which primarily consisted of $ 455 million related to cumulative translation losses and $ 243 million related to pension losses reclassified from aocl . in december 2017 , all the remaining criteria were met for eletropaulo to qualify as a discontinued operation . therefore , its results of operations and financial position were reported as such in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented . in june 2018 , the company completed the sale of its entire 17% ( 17 % ) ownership interest in eletropaulo through a bidding process hosted by the brazilian securities regulator , cvm . gross proceeds of $ 340 million were received at our subsidiary in brazil , subject to the payment of taxes . upon disposal of eletropaulo , the company recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $ 243 million ( after-tax $ 199 million ) . excluding the gain on sale , eletropaulo's pre-tax loss attributable to aes was immaterial for the year ended december 31 , 2018 . eletropaulo's pre-tax loss attributable to aes , including the loss on deconsolidation , for the years ended december 31 , 2017 and 2016 was $ 633 million and $ 192 million , respectively . prior to its classification as discontinued operations , eletropaulo was reported in the south america sbu reportable segment . sul 2014 the company executed an agreement for the sale of sul , a wholly-owned subsidiary , in june 2016 . the results of operations and financial position of sul are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented . upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria , the company recognized an after-tax loss of $ 382 million comprised of a pre-tax impairment charge of $ 783 million , offset by a tax benefit of $ 266 million related to the impairment of the sul long lived assets and a tax benefit of $ 135 million for deferred taxes related to the investment in sul . prior to the impairment charge , the carrying value of the sul asset group of $ 1.6 billion was greater than its approximate fair value less costs to sell . however , the impairment charge was limited to the carrying value of the long lived assets of the sul disposal group. .

in september 2007 , we reached a settlement with the united states department of justice in an ongoing investigation into financial relationships between major orthopaedic manufacturers and consulting orthopaedic surgeons . under the terms of the settlement , we paid a civil settlement amount of $ 169.5 million and we recorded an expense in that amount . no tax benefit has been recorded related to the settlement expense due to the uncertainty as to the tax treatment . we intend to pursue resolution of this uncertainty with taxing authorities , but are unable to ascertain the outcome or timing for such resolution at this time . for more information regarding the settlement , see note 15 . in june 2006 , the financial accounting standards board ( fasb ) issued interpretation no . 48 , accounting for uncertainty in income taxes 2013 an interpretation of fasb statement no . 109 , accounting for income taxes ( fin 48 ) . fin 48 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements . under fin 48 , we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities , based on the technical merits of the position . the tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement . fin 48 also provides guidance on derecognition , classification , interest and penalties on income taxes , accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures . we adopted fin 48 on january 1 , 2007 . prior to the adoption of fin 48 we had a long term tax liability for expected settlement of various federal , state and foreign income tax liabilities that was reflected net of the corollary tax impact of these expected settlements of $ 102.1 million , as well as a separate accrued interest liability of $ 1.7 million . as a result of the adoption of fin 48 , we are required to present the different components of such liability on a gross basis versus the historical net presentation . the adoption resulted in the financial statement liability for unrecognized tax benefits decreasing by $ 6.4 million as of january 1 , 2007 . the adoption resulted in this decrease in the liability as well as a reduction to retained earnings of $ 4.8 million , a reduction in goodwill of $ 61.4 million , the establishment of a tax receivable of $ 58.2 million , which was recorded in other current and non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheet , and an increase in an interest/penalty payable of $ 7.9 million , all as of january 1 , 2007 . therefore , after the adoption of fin 48 , the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is $ 95.7 million as of january 1 , 2007 , of which $ 28.6 million would impact our effective tax rate , if recognized . the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is $ 135.2 million as of december 31 , 2007 . of this amount , $ 41.0 million would impact our effective tax rate , if recognized . a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>balance at january 1 2007</td><td>$ 95.7</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>increases related to prior periods</td><td>27.4</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>decreases related to prior periods</td><td>-5.5 ( 5.5 )</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>increases related to current period</td><td>21.9</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>decreases related to settlements with taxing authorities</td><td>-1.3 ( 1.3 )</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>decreases related to lapse of statue of limitations</td><td>-3.0 ( 3.0 )</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>balance at december 31 2007</td><td>$ 135.2</td></tr></table> we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of earnings , which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods . as of january 1 , 2007 , we recorded a liability of $ 9.6 million for accrued interest and penalties , of which $ 7.5 million would impact our effective tax rate , if recognized . the amount of this liability is $ 19.6 million as of december 31 , 2007 . of this amount , $ 14.7 million would impact our effective tax rate , if recognized . we expect that the amount of tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next twelve months ;

revenues included approximately $ 750 million in gains on asset sales in the first quarter of 2017 , which more than offset a roughly $ 300 million charge related to the exit of citi 2019s u.s . mortgage servicing operations in the quarter . expenses declined 24% ( 24 % ) , reflecting the wind-down of legacy assets and lower legal expenses , partially offset by approximately $ 100 million in episodic expenses primarily related to the exit of the u.s . mortgage servicing operations . also included in expenses is an approximately $ 255 million provision for remediation costs related to a card act matter in 2017 . provisions decreased $ 244 million to a net benefit of $ 175 million , primarily due to lower net credit losses and a lower provision for benefits and claims , partially offset by a lower net loan loss reserve release . net credit losses declined 66% ( 66 % ) , primarily reflecting the impact of ongoing divestiture activity and the continued wind-down of the north america mortgage portfolio . the decline in the provision for benefits and claims was primarily due to lower insurance activity . the net reserve release declined $ 147 million , and reflected the continued wind-down of the legacy north america mortgage portfolio and divestitures. .

discount rate 2014the assumed discount rate is used to determine the current retirement related benefit plan expense and obligations , and represents the interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to effectively settle a plan 2019s benefit obligations . the discount rate assumption is determined for each plan by constructing a portfolio of high quality bonds with cash flows that match the estimated outflows for future benefit payments to determine a single equivalent discount rate . benefit payments are not only contingent on the terms of a plan , but also on the underlying participant demographics , including current age , and assumed mortality . we use only bonds that are denominated in u.s . dollars , rated aa or better by two of three nationally recognized statistical rating agencies , have a minimum outstanding issue of $ 50 million as of the measurement date , and are not callable , convertible , or index linked . since bond yields are generally unavailable beyond 30 years , we assume those rates will remain constant beyond that point . taking into consideration the factors noted above , our weighted average discount rate for pensions was 5.23% ( 5.23 % ) and 5.84% ( 5.84 % ) , as of december 31 , 2011 and 2010 , respectively . our weighted average discount rate for other postretirement benefits was 4.94% ( 4.94 % ) and 5.58% ( 5.58 % ) as of december 31 , 2011 and 2010 , respectively . expected long-term rate of return 2014the expected long-term rate of return on assets is used to calculate net periodic expense , and is based on such factors as historical returns , targeted asset allocations , investment policy , duration , expected future long-term performance of individual asset classes , inflation trends , portfolio volatility , and risk management strategies . while studies are helpful in understanding current trends and performance , the assumption is based more on longer term and prospective views . in order to reflect expected lower future market returns , we have reduced the expected long-term rate of return assumption from 8.50% ( 8.50 % ) , used to record 2011 expense , to 8.00% ( 8.00 % ) for 2012 . the decrease in the expected return on assets assumption is primarily related to lower bond yields and updated return assumptions for equities . unless plan assets and benefit obligations are subject to remeasurement during the year , the expected return on pension assets is based on the fair value of plan assets at the beginning of the year . an increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate and the expected long-term rate of return assumptions would have had the following approximate impacts on pensions : ( $ in millions ) increase ( decrease ) in 2012 expense increase ( decrease ) in december 31 , 2011 obligations . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( $ in millions )</td><td>increase ( decrease ) in 2012 expense</td><td>increase ( decrease ) in december 31 2011 obligations</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>25 basis point decrease in discount rate</td><td>$ 18</td><td>$ 146</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>25 basis point increase in discount rate</td><td>-17 ( 17 )</td><td>-154 ( 154 )</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>25 basis point decrease in expected return on assets</td><td>8</td><td>n.a .</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>25 basis point increase in expected return on assets</td><td>-8 ( 8 )</td><td>n.a .</td></tr></table> differences arising from actual experience or changes in assumptions might materially affect retirement related benefit plan obligations and the funded status . actuarial gains and losses arising from differences from actual experience or changes in assumptions are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income . this unrecognized amount is amortized to the extent it exceeds 10% ( 10 % ) of the greater of the plan 2019s benefit obligation or plan assets . the amortization period for actuarial gains and losses is the estimated average remaining service life of the plan participants , which is approximately 10 years . cas expense 2014in addition to providing the methodology for calculating retirement related benefit plan costs , cas also prescribes the method for assigning those costs to specific periods . while the ultimate liability for such costs under fas and cas is similar , the pattern of cost recognition is different . the key drivers of cas pension expense include the funded status and the method used to calculate cas reimbursement for each of our plans as well as our expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption . unlike fas , cas requires the discount rate to be consistent with the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption , which changes infrequently given its long-term nature . as a result , changes in bond or other interest rates generally do not impact cas . in addition , unlike under fas , we can only allocate pension costs for a plan under cas until such plan is fully funded as determined under erisa requirements . other fas and cas considerations 2014we update our estimates of future fas and cas costs at least annually based on factors such as calendar year actual plan asset returns , final census data from the end of the prior year , and other actual and projected experience . a key driver of the difference between fas and cas expense ( and consequently , the fas/cas adjustment ) is the pattern of earnings and expense recognition for gains and losses that arise when our asset and liability experiences differ from our assumptions under each set of requirements . under fas , our net gains and losses exceeding the 10% ( 10 % ) corridor are amortized .

general market conditions affecting trust asset performance , future discount rates based on average yields of high quality corporate bonds and our decisions regarding certain elective provisions of the we currently project that we will make total u.s . and foreign benefit plan contributions in 2014 of approximately $ 57 million . actual 2014 contributions could be different from our current projections , as influenced by our decision to undertake discretionary funding of our benefit trusts versus other competing investment priorities , future changes in government requirements , trust asset performance , renewals of union contracts , or higher-than-expected health care claims cost experience . we measure cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities reduced by expenditures for property additions . we use this non-gaap financial measure of cash flow to focus management and investors on the amount of cash available for debt repayment , dividend distributions , acquisition opportunities , and share repurchases . our cash flow metric is reconciled to the most comparable gaap measure , as follows: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( dollars in millions

2012 was due primarily to higher capital expenditures . the increase in cash flow in 2012 compared to 2011 was driven by improved performance in working capital resulting from the one-time benefit derived from the pringles acquisition , as well as changes in the level of capital expenditures during the three-year period . investing activities our net cash used in investing activities for 2013 amounted to $ 641 million , a decrease of $ 2604 million compared with 2012 primarily attributable to the $ 2668 million acquisition of pringles in 2012 . capital spending in 2013 included investments in our supply chain infrastructure , and to support capacity requirements in certain markets , including pringles . in addition , we continued the investment in our information technology infrastructure related to the reimplementation and upgrade of our sap platform . net cash used in investing activities of $ 3245 million in 2012 increased by $ 2658 million compared with 2011 , due to the acquisition of pringles in 2012 . cash paid for additions to properties as a percentage of net sales has increased to 4.3% ( 4.3 % ) in 2013 , from 3.8% ( 3.8 % ) in 2012 , which was a decrease from 4.5% ( 4.5 % ) in financing activities our net cash used by financing activities was $ 1141 million for 2013 , compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $ 1317 million for 2012 and net cash used in financing activities of $ 957 million for 2011 . the increase in cash provided from financing activities in 2012 compared to 2013 and 2011 , was primarily due to the issuance of debt related to the acquisition of pringles . total debt was $ 7.4 billion at year-end 2013 and $ 7.9 billion at year-end 2012 . in february 2013 , we issued $ 250 million of two-year floating-rate u.s . dollar notes , and $ 400 million of ten-year 2.75% ( 2.75 % ) u.s . dollar notes , resulting in aggregate net proceeds after debt discount of $ 645 million . the proceeds from these notes were used for general corporate purposes , including , together with cash on hand , repayment of the $ 750 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.25% ( 4.25 % ) u.s . dollar notes due march 2013 . in may 2012 , we issued $ 350 million of three-year 1.125% ( 1.125 % ) u.s . dollar notes , $ 400 million of five-year 1.75% ( 1.75 % ) u.s . dollar notes and $ 700 million of ten-year 3.125% ( 3.125 % ) u.s . dollar notes , resulting in aggregate net proceeds after debt discount of $ 1.442 billion . the proceeds of these notes were used for general corporate purposes , including financing a portion of

purposes , which included repayment of intercompany debt . this repayment resulted in cash available to be used for a portion of the acquisition of pringles . in december 2012 , we repaid $ 750 million five-year 5.125% ( 5.125 % ) u.s . dollar notes at maturity with commercial paper . in april 2011 , we repaid $ 945 million ten-year 6.60% ( 6.60 % ) u.s . dollar notes at maturity with

management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations 2013 ( continued ) ( amounts in millions , except per share amounts ) operating income increased during 2017 when compared to 2016 , comprised of a decrease in revenue of $ 42.1 , as discussed above , a decrease in salaries and related expenses of $ 28.0 and a decrease in office and general expenses of $ 16.9 . the decrease in salaries and related expenses was primarily due to lower discretionary bonuses and incentive expense as well as a decrease in base salaries , benefits and tax . the decrease in office and general expenses was primarily due to decreases in adjustments to contingent acquisition obligations , as compared to the prior year . operating income increased during 2016 when compared to 2015 due to an increase in revenue of $ 58.8 , as discussed above , and a decrease in office and general expenses of $ 3.7 , partially offset by an increase in salaries and related expenses of $ 38.8 . the increase in salaries and related expenses was attributable to an increase in base salaries , benefits and tax primarily due to increases in our workforce to support business growth over the last twelve months . the decrease in office and general expenses was primarily due to lower production expenses related to pass-through costs , which are also reflected in revenue , for certain projects in which we acted as principal that decreased in size or did not recur during the current year . corporate and other certain corporate and other charges are reported as a separate line item within total segment operating income and include corporate office expenses , as well as shared service center and certain other centrally managed expenses that are not fully allocated to operating divisions . salaries and related expenses include salaries , long-term incentives , annual bonuses and other miscellaneous benefits for corporate office employees . office and general expenses primarily include professional fees related to internal control compliance , financial statement audits and legal , information technology and other consulting services that are engaged and managed through the corporate office . office and general expenses also include rental expense and depreciation of leasehold improvements for properties occupied by corporate office employees . a portion of centrally managed expenses are allocated to operating divisions based on a formula that uses the planned revenues of each of the operating units . amounts allocated also include specific charges for information technology-related projects , which are allocated based on utilization . corporate and other expenses decreased during 2017 by $ 20.6 to $ 126.6 compared to 2016 , primarily due to lower annual incentive expense . corporate and other expenses increased during 2016 by $ 5.4 to $ 147.2 compared to 2015 . liquidity and capital resources cash flow overview the following tables summarize

our international crude oil production is relatively sweet and is generally sold in relation to the brent crude benchmark . the differential between wti and brent average prices widened significantly in 2011 and remained in 2012 in comparison to almost no differential in 2010 . natural gas 2013 a significant portion of our natural gas production in the lower 48 states of the u.s . is sold at bid-week prices or first-of-month indices relative to our specific producing areas . average henry hub settlement prices for natural gas were lower in 2012 than in recent years . a decline in average settlement date henry hub natural gas prices began in september 2011 and continued into 2012 . although prices stabilized in late 2012 , they have not increased appreciably . our other major natural gas-producing regions are e.g . and europe . in the case of e.g . our natural gas sales are subject to term contracts , making realizations less volatile . because natural gas sales from e.g . are at fixed prices , our worldwide reported average natural gas realizations may not fully track market price movements . natural gas prices in europe have been significantly higher than in the u.s . oil sands mining the osm segment produces and sells various qualities of synthetic crude oil . output mix can be impacted by operational problems or planned unit outages at the mines or upgrader . sales prices for roughly two-thirds of the normal output mix will track movements in wti and one-third will track movements in the canadian heavy sour crude oil marker , primarily wcs . in 2012 , the wcs discount from wti had increased , putting downward pressure on our average realizations . the operating cost structure of the osm operations is predominantly fixed and therefore many of the costs incurred in times of full operation continue during production downtime . per-unit costs are sensitive to production rates . key variable costs are natural gas and diesel fuel , which track commodity markets such as the canadian alberta energy company ( "aeco" ) natural gas sales index and crude oil prices , respectively . the table below shows average benchmark prices that impact both our revenues and variable costs. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>benchmark</td><td>2012</td><td>2011</td><td>2010</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>wti crude oil ( dollars per bbl )</td><td>$ 94.15</td><td>$ 95.11</td><td>$ 79.61</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>wcs ( dollars per bbl ) ( a )</td><td>$ 73.18</td><td>$ 77.97</td><td>$ 65.31</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>aeco natural gas sales index ( dollars per mmbtu ) ( b )</td><td>$ 2.39</td><td>$ 3.68</td><td>$ 3.89</td></tr></table> wcs ( dollars per bbl ) ( a ) $ 73.18 $ 77.97 $ 65.31 aeco natural gas sales index ( dollars per mmbtu ) ( b ) $ 2.39 $ 3.68 $ 3.89 ( a ) monthly pricing based upon average wti adjusted for differentials unique to western canada .

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 communications sites and the relationships we have built with our carrier customers to drive sustainable , long-term growth . we have holistic master lease agreements with certain of our tenants that provide for consistent , long-term revenue and a reduction in the likelihood of churn . our holistic master lease agreements build and augment strong strategic partnerships with our tenants and have significantly reduced collocation cycle times , thereby providing our tenants with the ability to rapidly and efficiently deploy equipment on our sites . property operations new site revenue growth . during the year ended december 31 , 2015 , we grew our portfolio of communications real estate through the acquisition and construction of approximately 25370 sites . in a majority of our asia , emea and latin america markets , the acquisition or construction of new sites resulted in increases in both tenant and 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

consist primarily of ground rent and power and fuel costs , some or all 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 property 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 .

a net income increase of $ 47 million and an earnings per share decrease of $ 0.14 over 2001 . net income for 2002 reflected lower operating revenue ( $ 204 million ) , operating expenses ( $ 229 million ) and other income ( $ 27 million ) . interest expense and income taxes , which are discussed on a consolidated basis , decreased $ 50 million over 2001 . the earnings per share decrease reflected share dilution . regulated electric sales revenue increased $ 179 million . favorable weather conditions , reflecting increased cooling and heating degree-days , as well as customer growth , are estimated to have contributed $ 133 million and $ 41 million , respectively . fuel rate recoveries increased approximately $ 65 million for 2002 . these recoveries are generally offset by increases in elec- tric fuel expense and do not materially affect income . partially offsetting these increases was a net decrease of $ 60 million due to other factors not separately measurable , such as the impact of economic conditions on customer usage , as well as variations in seasonal rate premiums and discounts . nonregulated electric sales revenue increased $ 9 million . sales revenue from dominion 2019s merchant generation fleet decreased $ 21 million , reflecting a $ 201 million decline due to lower prices partially offset by sales from assets acquired and constructed in 2002 and the inclusion of millstone operations for all of 2002 . revenue from the wholesale marketing of utility generation decreased $ 74 million . due to the higher demand of utility service territory customers during 2002 , less production from utility plant generation was available for profitable sale in the wholesale market . revenue from retail energy sales increased $ 71 million , reflecting primarily customer growth over the prior year . net revenue from dominion 2019s electric trading activities increased $ 33 million , reflecting the effect of favorable price changes on unsettled contracts and higher trading margins . nonregulated gas sales revenue decreased $ 351 million . the decrease included a $ 239 million decrease in sales by dominion 2019s field services and retail energy marketing opera- tions , reflecting to a large extent declining prices . revenue associated with gas trading operations , net of related cost of sales , decreased $ 112 million . the decrease included $ 70 mil- lion of realized and unrealized losses on the economic hedges of natural gas production by the dominion exploration & pro- duction segment . as described below under selected information 2014 energy trading activities , sales of natural gas by the dominion exploration & production segment at market prices offset these financial losses , resulting in a range of prices contemplated by dominion 2019s overall risk management strategy . the remaining $ 42 million decrease was due to unfavorable price changes on unsettled contracts and lower overall trading margins . those losses were partially offset by contributions from higher trading volumes in gas and oil markets . gas transportation and storage revenue decreased $ 44 million , primarily reflecting lower rates . electric fuel and energy purchases expense increased $ 94 million which included an increase of $ 66 million associated with dominion 2019s energy marketing operations that are not sub- ject to cost-based rate regulation and an increase of $ 28 million associated with utility operations . substantially all of the increase associated with non-regulated energy marketing opera- tions related to higher volumes purchased during the year . for utility operations , energy costs increased $ 66 million for pur- chases subject to rate recovery , partially offset by a $ 38 million decrease in fuel expenses associated with lower wholesale mar- keting of utility plant generation . purchased gas expense decreased $ 245 million associated with dominion 2019s field services and retail energy marketing oper- ations . this decrease reflected approximately $ 162 million asso- ciated with declining prices and $ 83 million associated with lower purchased volumes . liquids , pipeline capacity and other purchases decreased $ 64 million , primarily reflecting comparably lower levels of rate recoveries of certain costs of transmission operations in the cur- rent year period . the difference between actual expenses and amounts recovered in the period are deferred pending future rate adjustments . other operations and maintenance expense decreased $ 14 million , primarily reflecting an $ 18 million decrease in outage costs due to fewer generation unit outages in the current year . depreciation expense decreased $ 11 million , reflecting decreases in depreciation associated with changes in the esti- mated useful lives of certain electric generation property , par- tially offset by increased depreciation associated with state line and millstone operations . other income decreased $ 27 million , including a $

item 7a . quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk ( amounts in millions ) in the normal course of business , we are exposed to market risks related to interest rates , foreign currency rates and certain balance sheet items . from time to time , we use derivative instruments , pursuant to established guidelines and policies , to manage some portion of these risks . derivative instruments utilized in our hedging activities are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for trading or speculative purposes . interest rates our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the fair market value and cash flows of our debt obligations . the majority of our debt ( approximately 86% ( 86 % ) and 94% ( 94 % ) as of december 31 , 2018 and 2017 , respectively ) bears interest at fixed rates . we do have debt with variable interest rates , but a 10% ( 10 % ) increase or decrease in interest rates would not be material to our interest expense or cash flows . the fair market value of our debt is sensitive to changes in interest rates , and the impact of a 10% ( 10 % ) change in interest rates is summarized below . increase/ ( decrease ) in fair market value as of december 31 , 10% ( 10 % ) increase in interest rates 10% ( 10 % ) decrease in interest rates . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>as of december 31,</td><td>increase/ ( decrease ) in fair market value 10% ( 10 % ) increasein interest rates</td><td>increase/ ( decrease ) in fair market value 10% ( 10 % ) decreasein interest rates</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>2018</td><td>$ -91.3 ( 91.3 )</td><td>$ 82.5</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>2017</td><td>-20.2 ( 20.2 )</td><td>20.6</td></tr></table> we have used interest rate swaps for risk management purposes to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates . we did not have any interest rate swaps outstanding as of december 31 , 2018 . we had $ 673.5 of cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities as of december 31 , 2018 that we generally invest in conservative , short-term bank deposits or securities . the interest income generated from these investments is subject to both domestic and foreign interest rate movements . during 2018 and 2017 , we had interest income of $ 21.8 and $ 19.4 , respectively . based on our 2018 results , a 100 basis-point increase or decrease in interest rates would affect our interest income by approximately $ 6.7 , assuming that all cash , cash equivalents and marketable securities are impacted in the same manner and balances remain constant from year-end 2018 levels . foreign currency rates we are subject to translation and transaction risks related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates . since we report revenues and expenses in u.s . dollars , changes in exchange rates may either positively or negatively affect our consolidated revenues and expenses ( as expressed in u.s . dollars ) from foreign operations . the foreign currencies that most favorably impacted our results during the year ended december 31 , 2018 were the euro and british pound sterling . the foreign currencies that most adversely impacted our results during the year ended december 31 , of 2018 were the argentine peso and brazilian real . based on 2018 exchange rates and operating results , if the u.s . dollar were to strengthen or weaken by 10% ( 10 % ) , we currently estimate operating income would decrease or increase approximately 4% ( 4 % ) , assuming that all currencies are impacted in the same manner and our international revenue and expenses remain constant at 2018 levels . the functional currency of our foreign operations is generally their respective local currency . assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date , and revenues and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period presented . the resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss , net of tax , in the stockholders 2019 equity section of our consolidated balance sheets . our foreign subsidiaries generally collect revenues and pay expenses in their functional currency , mitigating transaction risk . however , certain subsidiaries may enter into transactions in currencies other than their functional currency . assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are susceptible to movements in foreign currency until final settlement . currency transaction gains or losses primarily arising from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are included in office and general expenses . we regularly review our foreign exchange exposures that may have a material impact on our business and from time to time use foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other .

gain or loss on ownership change in map results from contributions to map of certain environmental capital expenditures and leased property acquisitions funded by marathon and ashland . in accordance with map 2019s limited liability company agreement , in certain instances , environmental capital expenditures and acquisitions of leased properties are funded by the original contributor of the assets , but no change in ownership interest may result from these contributions . an excess of ashland funded improvements over marathon funded improvements results in a net gain and an excess of marathon funded improvements over ashland funded improvements results in a net loss . cost of revenues increased by $ 5.822 billion in 2004 from 2003 and by $ 6.040 billion in 2003 from 2002 . the increases are primarily in the rm&t segment and result from higher acquisition costs for crude oil , refined products , refinery charge and blend feedstocks and increased manufacturing expenses . selling , general and administrative expenses increased by $ 105 million in 2004 from 2003 and by $ 97 million in 2003 from 2002 . the increase in 2004 was primarily due to increased stock-based compensation and higher costs associated with business transformation and outsourcing . our 2004 results were also impacted by start-up costs associated with the lng project in equatorial guinea and the increased cost of complying with governmental regulations . the increase in 2003 was primarily due to increased employee benefit expenses ( caused by increased pension expense resulting from changes in actuarial assumptions and a decrease in realized returns on plan assets ) and other employee related costs . additionally , during 2003 , we recorded a charge of $ 24 million related to organizational and business process changes . inventory market valuation reserve ( 2018 2018imv 2019 2019 ) is established to reduce the cost basis of inventories to current market value . generally , we will establish an imv reserve when crude oil prices fall below $ 22 per barrel . the 2002 results of operations include credits to income from operations of $ 71 million , reversing the imv reserve at december 31 , 2001 . net interest and other financial costs decreased by $ 25 million in 2004 from 2003 and by $ 82 million in 2003 from 2002 . the decrease in 2004 is primarily due to an increase in interest income . the decrease in 2003 is primarily due to an increase in capitalized interest related to increased long-term construction projects , the favorable effect of interest rate swaps , the favorable effect of a reduction in interest on tax deficiencies and increased interest income on investments . additionally , included in net interest and other financing costs are foreign currency gains of $ 9 million , $ 13 million and $ 8 million for 2004 , 2003 and 2002 . loss from early extinguishment of debt in 2002 was attributable to the retirement of $ 337 million aggregate principal amount of debt , resulting in a loss of $ 53 million . minority interest in income of map , which represents ashland 2019s 38 percent ownership interest , increased by $ 230 million in 2004 from 2003 and by $ 129 million in 2003 from 2002 . map income was higher in 2004 compared to 2003 and in 2003 compared to 2002 as discussed below in the rm&t segment . minority interest in loss of equatorial guinea lng holdings limited , which represents gepetrol 2019s 25 percent ownership interest , was $ 7 million in 2004 , primarily resulting from gepetrol 2019s share of start-up costs associated with the lng project in equatorial guinea . provision for income taxes increased by $ 143 million in 2004 from 2003 and by $ 215 million in 2003 from 2002 , primarily due to $ 388 million and $ 720 million increases in income before income taxes . the effective tax rate for 2004 was 36.6 percent compared to 36.6 percent and 42.1 percent for 2003 and 2002 . the higher rate in 2002 was due to the united kingdom enactment of a supplementary 10 percent tax on profits from the north sea oil and gas production , retroactively effective to april 17 , 2002 . in 2002 , we recognized a one-time noncash deferred tax adjustment of $ 61 million as a result of the rate increase . the following is an analysis of the effective tax rate for the periods presented: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2004</td><td>2003</td><td>2002</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>statutory tax rate</td><td>35.0% ( 35.0 % )</td><td>35.0% ( 35.0 % )</td><td>35.0% ( 35.0 %

the discount rate used to measure pension obligations is determined by comparing the expected future benefits that will be paid under the plan with yields available on high quality corporate bonds of similar duration . the impact on pension expense of a .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate in the current environment is an increase of $ 18 million per year . this sensitivity depends on the economic environment and amount of unrecognized actuarial gains or losses on the measurement date . the expected long-term return on assets assumption also has a significant effect on pension expense . the expected return on plan assets is a long-term assumption established by considering historical and anticipated returns of the asset classes invested in by the pension plan and the asset allocation policy currently in place . for purposes of setting and reviewing this assumption , 201clong term 201d refers to the period over which the plan 2019s projected benefit obligations will be disbursed . we review this assumption at each measurement date and adjust it if warranted . our selection process references certain historical data and the current environment , but primarily utilizes qualitative judgment regarding future return expectations . to evaluate the continued reasonableness of our assumption , we examine a variety of viewpoints and data . various studies have shown that portfolios comprised primarily of u.s . equity securities have historically returned approximately 9% ( 9 % ) annually over long periods of time , while u.s . debt securities have returned approximately 6% ( 6 % ) annually over long periods . application of these historical returns to the plan 2019s allocation ranges for equities and bonds produces a result between 6.50% ( 6.50 % ) and 7.25% ( 7.25 % ) and is one point of reference , among many other factors , that is taken into consideration . we also examine the plan 2019s actual historical returns over various periods and consider the current economic environment . recent experience is considered in our evaluation with appropriate consideration that , especially for short time periods , recent returns are not reliable indicators of future returns . while annual returns can vary significantly ( actual returns for 2014 , 2013 and 2012 were +6.50% ( +6.50 % ) , +15.48% ( +15.48 % ) , and +15.29% ( +15.29 % ) , respectively ) , the selected assumption represents our estimated long-term average prospective returns . acknowledging the potentially wide range for this assumption , we also annually examine the assumption used by other companies with similar pension investment strategies , so that we can ascertain whether our determinations markedly differ from others . in all cases , however , this data simply informs our process , which places the greatest emphasis on our qualitative judgment of future investment returns , given the conditions existing at each annual measurement date . taking into consideration all of these factors , the expected long-term return on plan assets for determining net periodic pension cost for 2014 was 7.00% ( 7.00 % ) , down from 7.50% ( 7.50 % ) for 2013 . after considering the views of both internal and external capital market advisors , particularly with regard to the effects of the recent economic environment on long-term prospective fixed income returns , we are reducing our expected long-term return on assets to 6.75% ( 6.75 % ) for determining pension cost for under current accounting rules , the difference between expected long-term returns and actual returns is accumulated and amortized to pension expense over future periods . each one percentage point difference in actual return compared with our expected return can cause expense in subsequent years to increase or decrease by up to $ 9 million as the impact is amortized into results of operations . we currently estimate pretax pension expense of $ 9 million in 2015 compared with pretax income of $ 7 million in 2014 . this year-over-year expected increase in expense reflects the effects of the lower expected return on asset assumption , improved mortality , and the lower discount rate required to be used in 2015 . these factors will be partially offset by the favorable impact of the increase in plan assets at december 31 , 2014 and the assumed return on a $ 200 million voluntary contribution to the plan made in february 2015 . the table below reflects the estimated effects on pension expense of certain changes in annual assumptions , using 2015 estimated expense as a baseline . table 26 : pension expense 2013 sensitivity analysis change in assumption ( a ) estimated increase/ ( decrease ) to 2015 pension expense ( in millions ) . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>change in assumption ( a )</td><td>estimatedincrease/ ( decrease ) to 2015pensionexpense ( in millions )</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate</td><td>$ 18</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) decrease in expected long-term return on assets</td><td>$ 22</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) increase in compensation rate</td><td>$ 2</td></tr></table> ( a ) the impact is the effect of changing the specified assumption while holding all other assumptions constant . our pension plan contribution requirements are not particularly sensitive to actuarial assumptions . investment performance has the most impact on contribution requirements and will drive the amount of required contributions in future years . also , current law , including the provisions of the pension protection act of 2006 , sets limits as to both minimum and maximum contributions to the plan . notwithstanding the voluntary contribution made in february 2015 noted above , we do not expect to be required to make any contributions to the plan during 2015 . we maintain other defined benefit plans that have a less significant effect on financial results , including various nonqualified supplemental retirement plans for certain employees , which are described more fully in note 13 employee benefit plans in the notes to consolidated financial statements in item 8 of this report . 66 the pnc financial services group , inc . 2013 form 10-k .

2009 levels , we returned a portion of these assets to active service . at the end of 2010 , we continued to maintain in storage approximately 17% ( 17 % ) of our multiple purpose locomotives and 14% ( 14 % ) of our freight car inventory , reflecting our ability to effectively leverage our assets as volumes return to our network . 2022 fuel prices 2013 fuel prices generally increased throughout 2010 as the economy improved . our average diesel fuel price per gallon increased nearly 20% ( 20 % ) from january to december of 2010 , driven by higher crude oil barrel prices and conversion spreads . compared to 2009 , our diesel fuel price per gallon consumed increased 31% ( 31 % ) , driving operating expenses up by $ 566 million ( excluding any impact from year-over-year volume increases ) . to partially offset the effect of higher fuel prices , we reduced our consumption rate by 3% ( 3 % ) during the year , saving approximately 27 million gallons of fuel . the use of newer , more fuel efficient locomotives ; increased use of distributed locomotive power ( the practice of distributing locomotives throughout a train rather than positioning them all in the lead resulting in safer and more efficient train operations ) ; fuel conservation programs ; and efficient network operations and asset utilization all contributed to this improvement . 2022 free cash flow 2013 cash generated by operating activities ( adjusted for the reclassification of our receivables securitization facility ) totaled $ 4.5 billion , yielding record free cash flow of $ 1.4 billion in 2010 . 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 . we believe free cash flow is important 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 2010 2009 2008 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>millions</td><td>2010</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>cash provided by operating activities</td><td>$ 4105</td><td>$ 3204</td><td>$ 4044</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>receivables securitization facility [a]</td><td>400</td><td>184</td><td>16</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>cash provided by operating activitiesadjusted for the receivables securitizationfacility</td><td>4505</td><td>3388</td><td>4060</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>cash used in investing activities</td><td>-2488 ( 2488 )</td><td>-2145 ( 2145 )</td><td>-2738 ( 2738 )</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>dividends paid</td><td>-602 ( 602 )</td><td>-544 ( 544 )</td><td>-481 ( 481 )</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>free cash flow</td><td>$ 1415</td><td>$ 699</td><td>$ 841</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 . 2011 outlook 2022 safety 2013 operating a safe railroad benefits our employees , our customers , our shareholders , and the public . we will continue using a multi-faceted approach to safety , utilizing technology , risk assessment , quality control , and training , and engaging our employees . we will continue implementing total safety culture ( tsc ) throughout our operations . tsc is designed to establish , maintain , reinforce , and promote safe practices among co-workers . this process allows us to identify and implement best practices for employee and operational safety . reducing grade crossing incidents is a critical aspect of our safety programs , and we will continue our efforts to maintain and close crossings ; install video cameras on locomotives ; 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 engaging local communities . 2022 transportation plan 2013 to build upon our success in recent years , we will continue evaluating traffic flows and network logistic patterns , which can be quite dynamic , to identify additional opportunities to simplify operations , remove network variability , and improve network efficiency and asset utilization . we plan to adjust manpower and our locomotive and rail car fleets to meet customer needs and put .

in 2008 and $ 3.5 billion in 2007 . operating earnings in 2009 were $ 746 million ( $ 307 million excluding alter- native fuel mixture credits and plant closure costs ) compared with $ 405 million ( $ 435 million excluding shutdown costs for a paper machine ) in 2008 and $ 415 million in 2007 . sales volumes decreased sig- nificantly in 2009 compared with 2008 reflecting weak customer demand and reduced production capacity resulting from the shutdown of a paper machine at the franklin mill in december 2008 and the conversion of the bastrop mill to pulp production in june 2008 . average sales price realizations were lower reflecting slight declines for uncoated freesheet paper in domestic markets and significant declines in export markets . margins were also unfavorably affected by a higher proportion of shipments to lower-margin export markets . input costs , however , were favorable due to lower wood and chemical costs and sig- nificantly lower energy costs . freight costs were also lower . planned maintenance downtime costs in 2009 were comparable with 2008 . operating costs were favorable , reflecting cost control efforts and strong machine performance . lack-of-order downtime increased to 525000 tons in 2009 , including 120000 tons related to the shutdown of a paper machine at our franklin mill in the 2008 fourth quarter , from 135000 tons in 2008 . operating earnings in 2009 included $ 671 million of alternative fuel mixture cred- its , $ 223 million of costs associated with the shutdown of our franklin mill and $ 9 million of other shutdown costs , while operating earnings in 2008 included $ 30 million of costs for the shutdown of a paper machine at our franklin mill . looking ahead to 2010 , first-quarter sales volumes are expected to increase slightly from fourth-quarter 2009 levels . average sales price realizations should be higher , reflecting the full-quarter impact of sales price increases announced in the fourth quarter for converting and envelope grades of uncoated free- sheet paper and an increase in prices to export markets . however , input costs for wood , energy and chemicals are expected to continue to increase . planned maintenance downtime costs should be lower and operating costs should be favorable . brazil ian papers net sales for 2009 of $ 960 mil- lion increased from $ 950 million in 2008 and $ 850 million in 2007 . operating profits for 2009 were $ 112 million compared with $ 186 million in 2008 and $ 174 million in 2007 . sales volumes increased in 2009 compared with 2008 for both paper and pulp reflect- ing higher export shipments . average sales price realizations were lower due to strong competitive pressures in the brazilian domestic market in the second half of the year , lower export prices and unfavorable foreign exchange rates . margins were unfavorably affected by a higher proportion of lower margin export sales . input costs for wood and chem- icals were favorable , but these benefits were partially offset by higher energy costs . planned maintenance downtime costs were lower , and operating costs were also favorable . earnings in 2009 were adversely impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange effects . entering 2010 , sales volumes are expected to be seasonally lower compared with the fourth quarter of 2009 . profit margins are expected to be slightly higher reflecting a more favorable geographic sales mix and improving sales price realizations in export markets , partially offset by higher planned main- tenance outage costs . european papers net sales in 2009 were $ 1.3 bil- lion compared with $ 1.7 billion in 2008 and $ 1.5 bil- lion in 2007 . operating profits in 2009 of $ 92 million ( $ 115 million excluding expenses associated with the closure of the inverurie mill ) compared with $ 39 mil- lion ( $ 146 million excluding a charge to reduce the carrying value of the fixed assets at the inverurie , scotland mill to their estimated realizable value ) in 2008 and $ 171 million in 2007 . sales volumes in 2009 were lower than in 2008 primarily due to reduced sales of uncoated freesheet paper following the closure of the inverurie mill in 2009 . average sales price realizations decreased significantly in 2009 across most of western europe , but margins increased in poland and russia reflecting the effect of local currency devaluations . input costs were favorable as lower wood costs , particularly in russia , were only partially offset by higher energy costs in poland and higher chemical costs . planned main- tenance downtime costs were higher in 2009 than in 2008 , while manufacturing operating costs were lower . operating profits in 2009 also reflect favorable foreign exchange impacts . looking ahead to 2010 , sales volumes are expected to decline from strong 2009 fourth-quarter levels despite solid customer demand . average sales price realizations are expected to increase over the quar- ter , primarily in eastern europe , as price increases .

hii expects to incur higher costs to complete ships currently under construction in avondale due to anticipated reductions in productivity . as a result , in the second quarter of 2010 , the company increased the estimates to complete lpd-23 and lpd-25 by approximately $ 210 million . the company recognized a $ 113 million pre-tax charge to operating income for these contracts in the second quarter of 2010 . hii is exploring alternative uses of the avondale facility , including alternative opportunities for the workforce . in connection with and as a result of the decision to wind down shipbuilding operations at the avondale , louisiana facility , the company began incurring and paying related employee severance and incentive compensation liabilities and expenditures , asset retirement obligation liabilities that became reasonably estimable , and amounts owed for not meeting certain requirements under its cooperative endeavor agreement with the state of louisiana . the company anticipates that it will incur substantial other restructuring and facilities shutdown related costs , including , but not limited to , severance expense , relocation expense , and asset write-downs related to the avondale facilities . these costs are expected to be allowable expenses under government accounting standards and thus should be recoverable in future years 2019 overhead costs . these future costs could approximate $ 271 million , based on management 2019s current estimate . such costs should be recoverable under existing flexibly priced contracts or future negotiated contracts in accordance with federal acquisition regulation ( 201cfar 201d ) provisions relating to the treatment of restructuring and shutdown related costs . the company is currently in discussions with the u.s . navy regarding its cost submission to support the recoverability of these costs under the far and applicable contracts , and this submission is subject to review and acceptance by the u.s . navy . the defense contract audit agency ( 201cdcaa 201d ) , a dod agency , prepared an initial audit report on the company 2019s cost proposal for restructuring and shutdown related costs of $ 310 million , which stated that the proposal was not adequately supported for the dcaa to reach a conclusion and questioned approximately $ 25 million , or 8% ( 8 % ) , of the costs submitted by the company . accordingly , the dcaa did not accept the proposal as submitted . the company has submitted a revised proposal to address the concerns of the dcaa and to reflect a revised estimated total cost of $ 271 million . should the company 2019s revised proposal be challenged by the u.s . navy , the company would likely pursue prescribed dispute resolution alternatives to resolve the challenge . that process , however , would create uncertainty as to the timing and eventual allowability of the costs related to the wind down of the avondale facility . ultimately , the company anticipates these discussions with the u.s . navy will result in an agreement that is substantially in accordance with management 2019s cost recovery expectations . accordingly , hii has treated these costs as allowable costs in determining the earnings performance on its contracts in process . the actual restructuring expenses related to the wind down may be greater than the company 2019s current estimate , and any inability to recover such costs could result in a material effect on the company 2019s consolidated financial position , results of operations or cash flows . the company also evaluated the effect that the wind down of the avondale facilities might have on the benefit plans in which hii employees participate . hii determined that the potential impact of a curtailment in these plans was not material to its consolidated financial position , results of operations or cash flows . the table below summarizes the company 2019s liability for restructuring and shutdown related costs associated with winding down the avondale facility . as of december 31 , 2011 and 2010 , these costs are comprised primarily of employee severance and retention and incentive bonuses . these amounts were capitalized in inventoried costs , and will be recognized as expenses in cost of product sales beginning in 2014 .

the aes corporation notes to consolidated financial statements 2014 ( continued ) december 31 , 2018 , 2017 , and 2016 the following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of

relevant taxing authorities for various tax years . the company regularly assesses the potential outcome of these examinations in each of the taxing jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded . while it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular uncertain tax position , we believe we have appropriately accrued for our uncertain tax benefits . however , audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements and future events that would impact our previously recorded unrecognized tax benefits and the range of anticipated increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits are subject to significant uncertainty . it is possible that the ultimate outcome of current or future examinations may exceed our provision for current unrecognized tax benefits in amounts that could be material , but cannot be estimated as of december 31 , 2018 . our effective tax rate and net income in any given future period could therefore be materially impacted . 22 . discontinued operations due to a portfolio evaluation in the first half of 2016 , management decided to pursue a strategic shift of its distribution companies in brazil , sul and eletropaulo , to reduce the company's exposure to the brazilian distribution market . the disposals of sul and eletropaulo were completed in october 2016 and june 2018 , respectively . eletropaulo 2014 in november 2017 , eletropaulo converted its preferred shares into ordinary shares and transitioned the listing of those shares to the novo mercado , which is a listing segment of the brazilian stock exchange with the highest standards of corporate governance . upon conversion of the preferred shares into ordinary shares , aes no longer controlled eletropaulo , but maintained significant influence over the business . as a result , the company deconsolidated eletropaulo . after deconsolidation , the company's 17% ( 17 % ) ownership interest was reflected as an equity method investment . the company recorded an after-tax loss on deconsolidation of $ 611 million , which primarily consisted of $ 455 million related to cumulative translation losses and $ 243 million related to pension losses reclassified from aocl . in december 2017 , all the remaining criteria were met for eletropaulo to qualify as a discontinued operation . therefore , its results of operations and financial position were reported as such in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented . in june 2018 , the company completed the sale of its entire 17% ( 17 % ) ownership interest in eletropaulo through a bidding process hosted by the brazilian securities regulator , cvm . gross proceeds of $ 340 million were received at our subsidiary in brazil , subject to the payment of taxes . upon disposal of eletropaulo , the company recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $ 243 million ( after-tax $ 199 million ) . excluding the gain on sale , eletropaulo's pre-tax loss attributable to aes was immaterial for the year ended december 31 , 2018 . eletropaulo's pre-tax loss attributable to aes , including the loss on deconsolidation , for the years ended december 31 , 2017 and 2016 was $ 633 million and $ 192 million , respectively . prior to its classification as discontinued operations , eletropaulo was reported in the south america sbu reportable segment . sul 2014 the company executed an agreement for the sale of sul , a wholly-owned subsidiary , in june 2016 . the results of operations and financial position of sul are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented . upon meeting the held-for-sale criteria , the company recognized an after-tax loss of $ 382 million comprised of a pre-tax impairment charge of $ 783 million , offset by a tax benefit of $ 266 million related to the impairment of the sul long lived assets and a tax benefit of $ 135 million for deferred taxes related to the investment in sul . prior to the impairment charge , the carrying value of the sul asset group of $ 1.6 billion was greater than its approximate fair value less costs to sell . however , the impairment charge was limited to the carrying value of the long lived assets of the sul disposal group. .

aeronautics 2019 operating profit for 2011 increased $ 132 million , or 9% ( 9 % ) , compared to 2010 . the increase primarily was attributable to approximately $ 115 million of higher operating profit on c-130 programs due to increased volume and the retirement of risks ; increased volume and risk retirements on f-16 programs of about $ 50 million and c-5 programs of approximately $ 20 million ; and about $ 70 million due to risk retirements on other aeronautics sustainment activities in 2011 . these increases partially were offset by a decline in operating profit of approximately $ 75 million on the f-22 program and f-35 development contract primarily due to lower volume and about $ 55 million on other programs , including f-35 lrip , primarily due to lower profit rate adjustments in 2011 compared to 2010 . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit rate adjustments described above , were approximately $ 90 million higher in 2011 compared to 2010 . backlog backlog decreased in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to lower orders on f-35 contracts and c-130 programs , partially offset by higher orders on f-16 programs . backlog increased in 2011 compared to 2010 mainly due to higher orders on f-35 contracts , which partially were offset by higher sales volume on the c-130 programs . trends we expect aeronautics will experience a mid single digit percentage range decline in net sales for 2013 as compared to 2012 . a decrease in net sales from a decline in f-16 and c-130j aircraft deliveries is expected to be partially offset by an increase in net sales volume on f-35 lrip contracts . operating profit is projected to decrease at a high single digit percentage range from 2012 levels due to the expected decline in net sales as well as changes in aircraft mix , resulting in a slight decline in operating margins between the years . information systems & global solutions our is&gs business segment provides management services , integrated information technology solutions , and advanced technology systems and expertise 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 continuing downturn in the federal information technology budgets and the impact of the continuing resolution that was effective on october 1 , 2012 , the start of the u.s . government 2019s fiscal year . is&gs 2019 operating results included the following ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2012</td><td>2011</td><td>2010</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 8846</td><td>$ 9381</td><td>$ 9921</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>operating profit</td><td>808</td><td>874</td><td>814</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>operating margins</td><td>9.1% ( 9.1 % )</td><td>9.3% ( 9.3 % )</td><td>8.2% ( 8.2 % )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>backlog at year-end</td><td>8700</td><td>9300</td><td>9700</td></tr></table> 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 ; warfighter information network-tactical ( win-t ) ; command , control , battle management and communications ( c2bmc ) ; and transportation worker identification credential ( twic ) ) . partially offsetting the decreases were higher net sales of approximately $ 140 million from qtc , which was acquired early in the fourth quarter of 2011 ; and about $ 65 million from increased activity on numerous other programs , primarily federal cyber security programs and persistent threat detection system ( ptds ) operational support . is&gs 2019 operating profit for 2012 decreased $ 66 million , or 8% ( 8 % ) , compared to 2011 . the decrease was attributable to lower operating profit of approximately $ 50 million due to the favorable impact of the odin contract completion in 2011 ; about $ 25 million due to an increase in reserves for performance issues related to an international airborne surveillance system in 2012 ; and approximately $ 20 million due to lower volume on certain programs ( primarily c2bmc and win-t ) . partially offsetting the decreases was an increase in operating profit due to higher risk retirements of approximately $ 15 million from the twic program ; and about $ 10 million due to increased activity on numerous other programs , primarily federal cyber security programs and ptds operational support . operating profit for the jtrs program was comparable as a decrease in volume was offset by a decrease in reserves . adjustments not related to volume , including net profit booking rate adjustments and other matters described above , were approximately $ 20 million higher for 2012 compared to 2011. .

note 11 2013 stock-based compensation during 2014 , 2013 and 2012 , we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense totaling $ 164 million , $ 189 million and $ 167 million , which is included as a component of other unallocated , net on our statements of earnings . the net impact to earnings for the respective years was $ 107 million , $ 122 million and $ 108 million . as of december 31 , 2014 , we had $ 91 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.6 years . we received cash from the exercise of stock options totaling $ 308 million , $ 827 million and $ 440 million during 2014 , 2013 and 2012 . in addition , our income tax liabilities for 2014 , 2013 and 2012 were reduced by $ 215 million , $ 158 million , $ 96 million due to recognized tax benefits on stock-based compensation arrangements . stock-based compensation plans under plans approved by our stockholders , we are authorized to grant key employees stock-based incentive awards , including options to purchase common stock , stock appreciation rights , restricted stock units ( rsus ) , performance stock units ( psus ) or other stock units . the exercise price of options to purchase common stock may not be less than the fair market value of our stock on the date of grant . no award of stock options may become fully vested prior to the third anniversary of the grant and no portion of a stock option grant may become vested in less than one year . the minimum vesting period for restricted stock or stock units payable in stock is three years . award agreements may provide for shorter or pro-rated vesting periods or vesting following termination of employment in the case of death , disability , divestiture , retirement , change of control or layoff . the maximum term of a stock option or any other award is 10 years . at december 31 , 2014 , inclusive of the shares reserved for outstanding stock options , rsus and psus , we had 19 million shares reserved for issuance under the plans . at december 31 , 2014 , 7.8 million of the shares reserved for issuance remained available for grant under our stock-based compensation plans . we issue new shares upon the exercise of stock options or when restrictions on rsus and psus have been satisfied . the following table summarizes activity related to nonvested rsus during 2014 : number of rsus ( in thousands ) weighted average grant-date fair value per share . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>number of rsus ( in thousands )</td><td>weighted average grant-date fair value pershare</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>nonvested at december 31 2011</td><td>4302</td><td>$ 78.25</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>granted</td><td>1987</td><td>81.93</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>vested</td><td>-1299 ( 1299 )</td><td>80.64</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>forfeited</td><td>-168 ( 168 )</td><td>79.03</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>nonvested at december 31 2012</td><td>4822</td><td>$ 79.10</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>granted</td><td>1356</td><td>89.24</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>vested</td><td>-2093 ( 2093 )</td><td>79.26</td></tr><tr><td>9</td><td>forfeited</td><td>-226 ( 226 )</td><td>81.74</td></tr><tr><td>10</td><td>nonvested at december 31 2013</td><td>3859</td><td>$ 82.42</td></tr><tr><td>11</td><td>granted</td><td>745</td><td>146.85</td></tr><tr><td>12</td><td>vested</td><td>-2194 ( 2194 )</td><td>87.66</td></tr><tr><td>13</td><td>forfeited</td><td>-84 ( 84 )</td><td>91.11</td></tr><tr><td>14</td><td>nonvested at december 31 2014</td><td>2326</td><td>$ 97.80</td></tr></table> rsus are valued based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant . employees who are granted rsus receive the right to receive shares of stock after completion of the vesting period ; however , the shares are not issued and the employees cannot sell or transfer shares prior to vesting and have no voting rights until the rsus vest , generally three years from the date of the award . employees who are granted rsus receive dividend-equivalent cash payments only upon vesting . for these rsu awards , the grant-date fair value is equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant less a discount to reflect the delay in payment of dividend-equivalent cash payments . we recognize the grant-date fair value of rsus , less estimated forfeitures , as compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period , which beginning with the rsus granted in 2013 is shorter than the vesting period if the employee is retirement eligible on the date of grant or will become retirement eligible before the end of the vesting period. .

the segment had operating earnings of $ 709 million in 2007 , compared to operating earnings of $ 787 million in 2006 . the decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to a decrease in gross margin , driven by : ( i ) lower net sales of iden infrastructure equipment , and ( ii ) continued competitive pricing pressure in the market for gsm infrastructure equipment , partially offset by : ( i ) increased net sales of digital entertainment devices , and ( ii ) the reversal of reorganization of business accruals recorded in 2006 relating to employee severance which were no longer needed . sg&a expenses increased primarily due to the expenses from recently acquired businesses , partially offset by savings from cost-reduction initiatives . r&d expenditures decreased primarily due to savings from cost- reduction initiatives , partially offset by expenditures by recently acquired businesses and continued investment in digital entertainment devices and wimax . as a percentage of net sales in 2007 as compared to 2006 , gross margin , sg&a expenses , r&d expenditures and operating margin all decreased . in 2007 , sales to the segment 2019s top five customers represented approximately 43% ( 43 % ) of the segment 2019s net sales . the segment 2019s backlog was $ 2.6 billion at december 31 , 2007 , compared to $ 3.2 billion at december 31 , 2006 . in the home business , demand for the segment 2019s products depends primarily on the level of capital spending by broadband operators for constructing , rebuilding or upgrading their communications systems , and for offering advanced services . during the second quarter of 2007 , the segment began shipping digital set-tops that support the federal communications commission ( 201cfcc 201d ) 2014 mandated separable security requirement . fcc regulations mandating the separation of security functionality from set-tops went into effect on july 1 , 2007 . as a result of these regulations , many cable service providers accelerated their purchases of set-tops in the first half of 2007 . additionally , in 2007 , our digital video customers significantly increased their purchases of the segment 2019s products and services , primarily due to increased demand for digital entertainment devices , particularly hd/dvr devices . during 2007 , the segment completed the acquisitions of : ( i ) netopia , inc. , a broadband equipment provider for dsl customers , which allows for phone , tv and fast internet connections , ( ii ) tut systems , inc. , a leading developer of edge routing and video encoders , ( iii ) modulus video , inc. , a provider of mpeg-4 advanced coding compression systems designed for delivery of high-value video content in ip set-top devices for the digital video , broadcast and satellite marketplaces , ( iv ) terayon communication systems , inc. , a provider of real-time digital video networking applications to cable , satellite and telecommunication service providers worldwide , and ( v ) leapstone systems , inc. , a provider of intelligent multimedia service delivery and content management applications to networks operators . these acquisitions enhance our ability to provide complete end-to-end systems for the delivery of advanced video , voice and data services . in december 2007 , motorola completed the sale of ecc to emerson for $ 346 million in cash . enterprise mobility solutions segment the enterprise mobility solutions segment designs , manufactures , sells , installs and services analog and digital two-way radio , voice and data communications products and systems for private networks , wireless broadband systems and end-to-end enterprise mobility solutions to a wide range of enterprise markets , including government and public safety agencies ( which , together with all sales to distributors of two-way communication products , are referred to as the 201cgovernment and public safety market 201d ) , as well as retail , energy and utilities , transportation , manufacturing , healthcare and other commercial customers ( which , collectively , are referred to as the 201ccommercial enterprise market 201d ) . in 2008 , the segment 2019s net sales represented 27% ( 27 % ) of the company 2019s consolidated net sales , compared to 21% ( 21 % ) in 2007 and 13% ( 13 % ) in 2006 .

investment policy , which is described more fully in note 15 employee benefit plans in the notes to consolidated financial statements in item 8 of this report . we calculate the expense associated with the pension plan and the assumptions and methods that we use include a policy of reflecting trust assets at their fair market value . on an annual basis , we review the actuarial assumptions related to the pension plan , including the discount rate , the rate of compensation increase and the expected return on plan assets . the discount rate and compensation increase assumptions do not significantly affect pension expense . however , the expected long-term return on assets assumption does significantly affect pension expense . our expected long- term return on plan assets for determining net periodic pension expense has been 8.25% ( 8.25 % ) for the past three years . the expected return on plan assets is a long-term assumption established by considering historical and anticipated returns of the asset classes invested in by the pension plan and the allocation strategy currently in place among those classes . while this analysis gives appropriate consideration to recent asset performance and historical returns , the assumption represents a long-term prospective return . we review this assumption at each measurement date and adjust it if warranted . for purposes of setting and reviewing this assumption , 201clong- term 201d refers to the period over which the plan 2019s projected benefit obligation will be disbursed . while year-to-year annual returns can vary significantly ( rates of return for the reporting years of 2009 , 2008 , and 2007 were +20.61% ( +20.61 % ) , -32.91% ( -32.91 % ) , and +7.57% ( +7.57 % ) , respectively ) , the assumption represents our estimate of long-term average prospective returns . our selection process references certain historical data and the current environment , but primarily utilizes qualitative judgment regarding future return expectations . recent annual returns may differ but , recognizing the volatility and unpredictability of investment returns , we generally do not change the assumption unless we modify our investment strategy or identify events that would alter our expectations of future returns . to evaluate the continued reasonableness of our assumption , we examine a variety of viewpoints and data . various studies have shown that portfolios comprised primarily of us equity securities have returned approximately 10% ( 10 % ) over long periods of time , while us debt securities have returned approximately 6% ( 6 % ) annually over long periods . application of these historical returns to the plan 2019s allocation of equities and bonds produces a result between 8% ( 8 % ) and 8.5% ( 8.5 % ) and is one point of reference , among many other factors , that is taken into consideration . we also examine the plan 2019s actual historical returns over various periods . recent experience is considered in our evaluation with appropriate consideration that , especially for short time periods , recent returns are not reliable indicators of future returns , and in many cases low returns in recent time periods are followed by higher returns in future periods ( and vice versa ) . acknowledging the potentially wide range for this assumption , we also annually examine the assumption used by other companies with similar pension investment strategies , so that we can ascertain whether our determinations markedly differ from other observers . in all cases , however , this data simply informs our process , which places the greatest emphasis on our qualitative judgment of future investment returns , given the conditions existing at each annual measurement date . the expected long-term return on plan assets for determining net periodic pension cost for 2009 was 8.25% ( 8.25 % ) , unchanged from 2008 . during 2010 , we intend to decrease the midpoint of the plan 2019s target allocation range for equities by approximately five percentage points . as a result of this change and taking into account all other factors described above , pnc will change the expected long-term return on plan assets to 8.00% ( 8.00 % ) for determining net periodic pension cost for 2010 . under current accounting rules , the difference between expected long-term returns and actual returns is accumulated and amortized to pension expense over future periods . each one percentage point difference in actual return compared with our expected return causes expense in subsequent years to change by up to $ 8 million as the impact is amortized into results of operations . the table below reflects the estimated effects on pension expense of certain changes in annual assumptions , using 2010 estimated expense as a baseline . change in assumption ( a ) estimated increase to 2010 pension expense ( in millions ) . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>change in assumption ( a )</td><td>estimatedincrease to 2010pensionexpense ( inmillions )</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate</td><td>$ 10</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) decrease in expected long-term return on assets</td><td>$ 18</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>.5% ( .5 % ) increase in compensation rate</td><td>$ 3</td></tr></table> ( a ) the impact is the effect of changing the specified assumption while holding all other assumptions constant . we currently estimate a pretax pension expense of $ 41 million in 2010 compared with pretax expense of $ 117 million in 2009 . this year-over-year reduction was primarily due to the amortization impact of the favorable 2009 investment returns as compared with the expected long-term return assumption . our pension plan contribution requirements are not particularly sensitive to actuarial assumptions . investment performance has the most impact on contribution requirements and will drive the amount of permitted contributions in future years . also , current law , including the provisions of the pension protection act of 2006 , sets limits as to both minimum and maximum contributions to the plan . we expect that the minimum required contributions under the law will be zero for 2010 . we maintain other defined benefit plans that have a less significant effect on financial results , including various .

reduced production capacity resulting from the shutdown of a paper machine at the franklin mill in december 2008 and the conversion of the bastrop mill to pulp production in june 2008 . average sales price realizations were lower reflecting slight declines for uncoated freesheet paper in domestic markets and significant declines in export markets . margins were also unfavorably affected by a higher proportion of shipments to lower-margin export markets . input costs , however , were favorable due to lower wood and chemical costs and sig- nificantly lower energy costs . freight costs were also lower . planned maintenance downtime costs in 2009 were comparable with 2008 . operating costs were favorable , reflecting cost control efforts and strong machine performance . lack-of-order downtime increased to 525000 tons in 2009 , including 120000 tons related to the shutdown of a paper machine at our franklin mill in the 2008 fourth quarter , from 135000 tons in 2008 . operating earnings in 2009 included $ 671 million of alternative fuel mixture cred- its , $ 223 million of costs associated with the shutdown of our franklin mill and $ 9 million of other shutdown costs , while operating earnings in 2008 included $ 30 million of costs for the shutdown of a paper machine at our franklin mill . looking ahead to 2010 , first-quarter sales volumes are expected to increase slightly from fourth-quarter 2009 levels . average sales price realizations should be higher , reflecting the full-quarter impact of sales price increases announced in the fourth quarter for converting and envelope grades of uncoated free- sheet paper and an increase in prices to export markets . however , input costs for wood , energy and chemicals are expected to continue to increase . planned maintenance downtime costs should be lower and operating costs should be favorable . brazil ian papers net sales for 2009 of $ 960 mil- lion increased from $ 950 million in 2008 and $ 850 million in 2007 . operating profits for 2009 were $ 112 million compared with $ 186 million in 2008 and $ 174 million in 2007 . sales volumes increased in 2009 compared with 2008 for both paper and pulp reflect- ing higher export shipments . average sales price realizations were lower due to strong competitive pressures in the brazilian domestic market in the second half of the year , lower export prices and unfavorable foreign exchange rates . margins were unfavorably affected by a higher proportion of lower margin export sales . input costs for wood and chem- icals were favorable , but these benefits were partially offset by higher energy costs . planned maintenance downtime costs were lower , and operating costs were also favorable . earnings in 2009 were adversely impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange effects . entering 2010 , sales volumes are expected to be seasonally lower compared with the fourth quarter of 2009 . profit margins are expected to be slightly higher reflecting a more favorable geographic sales mix and improving sales price realizations in export markets , partially offset by higher planned main- tenance outage costs . european papers net sales in 2009 were $ 1.3 bil- lion compared with $ 1.7 billion in 2008 and $ 1.5 bil- lion in 2007 . operating profits in 2009 of $ 92 million ( $ 115 million excluding expenses associated with the closure of the inverurie mill ) compared with $ 39 mil- lion ( $ 146 million excluding a charge to reduce the carrying value of the fixed assets at the inverurie , scotland mill to their estimated realizable value ) in 2008 and $ 171 million in 2007 . sales volumes in 2009 were lower than in 2008 primarily due to reduced sales of uncoated freesheet paper following the closure of the inverurie mill in 2009 . average sales price realizations decreased significantly in 2009 across most of western europe , but margins increased in poland and russia reflecting the effect of local currency devaluations . input costs were favorable as lower wood costs , particularly in russia , were only partially offset by higher energy costs in poland and higher chemical costs . planned main- tenance downtime costs were higher in 2009 than in 2008 , while manufacturing operating costs were lower . operating profits in 2009 also reflect favorable foreign exchange impacts . looking ahead to 2010 , sales volumes are expected to decline from strong 2009 fourth-quarter levels despite solid customer demand . average sales price realizations are expected to increase over the quar- ter , primarily in eastern europe , as price increases .

2022 international . in general , our international markets are less advanced with respect to the current technologies deployed for wireless services . as a result , demand for our communications sites is driven by continued voice network investments , new market entrants and initial 3g data network deployments . for example , in india , nationwide voice networks continue to be deployed as wireless service providers are beginning their initial investments in 3g data networks , as a result of recent spectrum auctions . in mexico and brazil , where nationwide voice networks have been deployed , some incumbent wireless service providers continue to invest in their 3g data networks , and recent spectrum auctions have enabled other incumbent wireless service providers and new market entrants to begin their initial investments in 3g data networks . in markets such as chile and peru , recent spectrum auctions have attracted new market entrants , who are expected to begin their investment in deploying nationwide voice and 3g data networks . we believe demand for our tower sites will continue in our international markets as wireless service providers seek to remain competitive by increasing the coverage of their networks while also investing in next generation data networks . rental and management operations new site revenue growth . during the year ended december 31 , 2010 , we grew our portfolio of communications sites through acquisitions and construction activities , including the acquisition and construction of approximately 7800 sites . we continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire larger communications site portfolios , both domestically and internationally , that we believe we can effectively integrate into our existing portfolio. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>new sites ( acquired or constructed )</td><td>2010</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>domestic</td><td>947</td><td>528</td><td>160</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>international ( 1 )</td><td>6865</td><td>3022</td><td>801</td></tr></table> ( 1 ) the majority of sites acquired or constructed internationally during 2010 and 2009 were in india and our newly launched operations in chile , colombia and peru . 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 . through our network development services segment , we offer tower-related services , including site acquisition , zoning and permitting services and structural analysis services , which primarily support our site leasing business and the addition of new tenants and equipment on our sites . rental and management operations expenses . our rental and management operations expenses include our direct site level expenses and consist primarily of ground rent , property taxes , repairs and maintenance and utilities . these segment level expenses exclude all segment and corporate level selling , general , administrative and development expenses , which are aggregated into one line item entitled selling , general , administrative and development expense . in general , our rental and management segment level selling , general and administrative 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 . in geographic areas where we have recently launched operations or are focused on materially expanding our site footprint , we may incur additional segment level selling , general and administrative expenses as we increase our presence in these areas . 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 . reit election . as we review our tax strategy and assess the utilization of our federal and state nols , we are actively considering an election to a reit for u.s . federal and , where applicable , state income tax purposes . we may make the determination to elect reit status for the taxable year beginning january 1 , 2012 , as early as the second half of 2011 , subject to the approval of our board of directors , although there is no certainty as to the timing of a reit election or whether we will make a reit election at all. .

1226.2</td></tr></table> in fiscal 2018 , we continued to pursue our strategy of offering differentiated paper and packaging solutions that help our customers win . we successfully executed this strategy in fiscal 2018 in a rapidly changing cost and price environment . net sales of $ 16285.1 million for fiscal 2018 increased $ 1425.4 million , or 9.6% ( 9.6 % ) , compared to fiscal 2017 . the increase was primarily a result of an increase in corrugated packaging segment sales , driven by higher selling price/mix and the contributions from acquisitions , and increased consumer packaging segment sales , primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions ( primarily the mps acquisition ) . these increases were partially offset by the absence of net sales from hh&b in fiscal 2018 due to the sale of hh&b in april 2017 and lower land and development segment sales compared to the prior year period due to the timing of real estate sales as we monetize the portfolio and lower merchandising display sales in the consumer packaging segment . segment income increased $ 491.5 million in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 , primarily due to increased corrugated packaging segment income . with respect to segment income , we experienced higher levels of cost inflation during fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 , which was partially offset by recycled fiber deflation . the primary inflationary items were freight costs , chemical costs , virgin fiber costs and wage and other costs . productivity improvements in fiscal 2018 more than offset the net impact of cost inflation . while it is difficult to predict specific inflationary items , we expect higher cost inflation to continue through fiscal 2019 . our corrugated packaging segment increased its net sales by $ 695.1 million in fiscal 2018 to $ 9103.4 million from $ 8408.3 million in fiscal 2017 . the increase in net sales was primarily due to higher corrugated selling price/mix and higher corrugated volumes ( including acquisitions ) , which were partially offset by lower net sales from recycling operations due to lower recycled fiber costs , lower sales related to the deconsolidation of a foreign joint venture in fiscal 2017 and the impact of foreign currency . north american box shipments increased 4.1% ( 4.1 % ) on a per day basis in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 . segment income attributable to the corrugated packaging segment in fiscal 2018 increased $ 454.0 million to $ 1207.9 million compared to $ 753.9 million in fiscal 2017 . the increase was primarily due to higher selling price/mix , lower recycled fiber costs and productivity improvements which were partially offset by higher levels of cost inflation and other items , including increased depreciation and amortization . our consumer packaging segment increased its net sales by $ 838.9 million in fiscal 2018 to $ 7291.4 million from $ 6452.5 million in fiscal 2017 . the increase in net sales was primarily due to an increase in net sales from acquisitions ( primarily the mps acquisition ) and higher selling price/mix partially offset by the absence of net sales from hh&b in fiscal 2018 due to

failure to comply with the financial and other covenants under our credit facilities , as well as the occurrence of certain material adverse events , would constitute defaults and would allow the lenders under our credit facilities to accelerate the maturity of all indebtedness under the related agreements . this could also have an adverse impact on the availability of financial assurances . in addition , maturity acceleration on our credit facilities constitutes an event of default under our other debt instruments , including our senior notes , and , therefore , our senior notes would also be subject to acceleration of maturity . if such acceleration were to occur , we would not have sufficient liquidity available to repay the indebtedness . we would likely have to seek an amendment under our credit facilities for relief from the financial covenants or repay the debt with proceeds from the issuance of new debt or equity , or asset sales , if necessary . we may be unable to amend our credit facilities or raise sufficient capital to repay such obligations in the event the maturities are accelerated . financial assurance we are required to provide financial assurance to governmental agencies and a variety of other entities under applicable environmental regulations relating to our landfill operations for capping , closure and post-closure costs , and related to our performance under certain collection , landfill and transfer station contracts . we satisfy these financial assurance requirements by providing surety bonds , letters of credit , insurance policies or trust deposits . the amount of the financial assurance requirements for capping , closure and post-closure costs is determined by applicable state environmental regulations . the financial assurance requirements for capping , closure and post-closure costs may be associated with a portion of the landfill or the entire landfill . generally , states will require a third-party engineering specialist to determine the estimated capping , closure and post- closure costs that are used to determine the required amount of financial assurance for a landfill . the amount of financial assurance required can , and generally will , differ from the obligation determined and recorded under u.s . gaap . the amount of the financial assurance requirements related to contract performance varies by contract . additionally , we are required to provide financial assurance for our insurance program and collateral for certain performance obligations . we do not expect a material increase in financial assurance requirements during 2010 , although the mix of financial assurance instruments may change . these financial instruments are issued in the normal course of business and are not debt of our company . since we currently have no liability for these financial assurance instruments , they are not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets . however , we record capping , closure and post-closure liabilities and self-insurance liabilities as they are incurred . the underlying obligations of the financial assurance instruments , in excess of those already reflected in our consolidated balance sheets , would be recorded if it is probable that we would be unable to fulfill our related obligations . we do not expect this to occur . off-balance sheet arrangements we have no off-balance sheet debt or similar obligations , other than financial assurance instruments and operating leases that are not classified as debt . we do not guarantee any third-party debt . free cash flow we define free cash flow , which is not a measure determined in accordance with u.s . gaap , as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment , plus proceeds from sales of property and equipment as presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows . our free cash flow for the years ended december 31 , 2009 , 2008 and 2007 is calculated as follows ( in millions ) : . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td><td>2007</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>cash provided by operating activities</td><td>$ 1396.5</td><td>$ 512.2</td><td>$ 661.3</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>purchases of property and equipment</td><td>-826.3 ( 826.3 )</td><td>-386.9 ( 386.9 )</td><td>-292.5 ( 292.5 )</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>proceeds from sales of property and equipment</td><td>31.8</td><td>8.2</td><td>6.1</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>free cash flow</td><td>$ 602.0</td><td>$ 133.5</td><td>$ 374.9</td></tr></table> .

a significant portion of our natural gas production in the lower 48 states of the u.s . is sold at bid-week prices or first-of-month indices relative to our specific producing areas . average settlement date henry hub natural gas prices have been relatively stable for the periods of this report ; however , a decline began in september 2011 which has continued in 2012 with february averaging $ 2.68 per mmbtu . should u.s . natural gas prices remain depressed , an impairment charge related to our natural gas assets may be necessary . our other major natural gas-producing regions are europe and eg . natural gas prices in europe have been significantly higher than in the u.s . in the case of eg our natural gas sales are subject to term contracts , making realized prices less volatile . the natural gas sales from eg are at fixed prices ; therefore , our worldwide reported average natural gas realized prices may not fully track market price movements . oil sands mining osm segment revenues correlate with prevailing market prices for the various qualities of synthetic crude oil we produce . roughly two-thirds of the normal output mix will track movements in wti and one-third will track movements in the canadian heavy sour crude oil marker , primarily western canadian select . output mix can be impacted by operational problems or planned unit outages at the mines or the upgrader . the operating cost structure of the oil sands mining operations is predominantly fixed and therefore many of the costs incurred in times of full operation continue during production downtime . per-unit costs are sensitive to production rates . key variable costs are natural gas and diesel fuel , which track commodity markets such as the canadian alberta energy company ( 201caeco 201d ) natural gas sales index and crude oil prices , respectively . recently aeco prices have declined , much as henry hub prices have . we would expect a significant , continued declined in natural gas prices to have a favorable impact on osm operating costs . the table below shows average benchmark prices that impact both our revenues and variable costs. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>benchmark</td><td>2011</td><td>2010</td><td>2009</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>wti crude oil ( dollars per bbl )</td><td>$ 95.11</td><td>$ 79.61</td><td>$ 62.09</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>western canadian select ( dollars per bbl ) ( a )</td><td>77.97</td><td>65.31</td><td>52.13</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>aeco natural gas sales index ( dollars per mmbtu ) ( b )</td><td>$ 3.68</td><td>$ 3.89</td><td>$ 3.49</td></tr></table> wti crude oil ( dollars per bbl ) $ 95.11 $ 79.61 $ 62.09 western canadian select ( dollars per bbl ) ( a ) 77.97 65.31 52.13 aeco natural gas sales index ( dollars per mmbtu ) ( b ) $ 3.68 $ 3.89 $ 3.49 ( a ) monthly pricing based upon average wti adjusted for differentials unique to western canada .

management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations 2013 ( continued ) ( amounts in millions , except per share amounts ) operating income increased during 2017 when compared to 2016 , comprised of a decrease in revenue of $ 42.1 , as discussed above , a decrease in salaries and related expenses of $ 28.0 and a decrease in office and general expenses of $ 16.9 . the decrease in salaries and related expenses was primarily due to lower discretionary bonuses and incentive expense as well as a decrease in base salaries , benefits and tax . the decrease in office and general expenses was primarily due to decreases in adjustments to contingent acquisition obligations , as compared to the prior year . operating income increased during 2016 when compared to 2015 due to an increase in revenue of $ 58.8 , as discussed above , and a decrease in office and general expenses of $ 3.7 , partially offset by an increase in salaries and related expenses of $ 38.8 . the increase in salaries and related expenses was attributable to an increase in base salaries , benefits and tax primarily due to increases in our workforce to support business growth over the last twelve months . the decrease in office and general expenses was primarily due to lower production expenses related to pass-through costs , which are also reflected in revenue , for certain projects in which we acted as principal that decreased in size or did not recur during the current year . corporate and other certain corporate and other charges are reported as a separate line item within total segment operating income and include corporate office expenses , as well as shared service center and certain other centrally managed expenses that are not fully allocated to operating divisions . salaries and related expenses include salaries , long-term incentives , annual bonuses and other miscellaneous benefits for corporate office employees . office and general expenses primarily include professional fees related to internal control compliance , financial statement audits and legal , information technology and other consulting services that are engaged and managed through the corporate office . office and general expenses also include rental expense and depreciation of leasehold improvements for properties occupied by corporate office employees . a portion of centrally managed expenses are allocated to operating divisions based on a formula that uses the planned revenues of each of the operating units . amounts allocated also include specific charges for information technology-related projects , which are allocated based on utilization . corporate and other expenses decreased during 2017 by $ 20.6 to $ 126.6 compared to 2016 , primarily due to lower annual incentive expense . corporate and other expenses increased during 2016 by $ 5.4 to $ 147.2 compared to 2015 . liquidity and capital resources cash flow overview the following tables summarize

note 17 financial derivatives we use derivative financial instruments ( derivatives ) primarily to help manage exposure to interest rate , market and credit risk and reduce the effects that changes in interest rates may have on net income , fair value of assets and liabilities , and cash flows . we also enter into derivatives with customers to facilitate their risk management activities . derivatives represent contracts between parties that usually require little or no initial net investment and result in one party delivering cash or another type of asset to the other party based on a notional amount and an underlying as specified in the contract . derivative transactions are often measured in terms of notional amount , but this amount is generally not exchanged and it is not recorded on the balance sheet . the notional amount is the basis to which the underlying is applied to determine required payments under the derivative contract . the underlying is a referenced interest rate ( commonly libor ) , security price , credit spread or other index . residential and commercial real estate loan commitments associated with loans to be sold also qualify as derivative instruments . the following table presents the notional amounts and gross fair values of all derivative assets and liabilities held by pnc : table 127 : total gross derivatives . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>in millions</td><td>december 31 2013 notional/contractamount</td><td>december 31 2013 assetfairvalue ( a )</td><td>december 31 2013 liabilityfairvalue ( b )</td><td>december 31 2013 notional/contractamount</td><td>december 31 2013 assetfairvalue ( a )</td><td>liabilityfairvalue ( b )</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>derivatives designated as hedging instruments under gaap</td><td>$ 36197</td><td>$ 1189</td><td>$ 364</td><td>$ 29270</td><td>$ 1872</td><td>$ 152</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>derivatives not designated as hedging instruments under gaap</td><td>345059</td><td>3604</td><td>3570</td><td>337086</td><td>6696</td><td>6458</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>total gross derivatives</td><td>$ 381256</td><td>$ 4793</td><td>$ 3934</td><td>$ 366356</td><td>$ 8568</td><td>$ 6610</td></tr></table> ( a ) included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet .
