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

note 18 2013 earnings per share ( eps ) basic eps is calculated by dividing net earnings attributable to allegion plc by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period . diluted eps is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic eps calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares , which in the company 2019s case , includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans . the following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>in millions</td><td>2017</td><td>2016</td><td>2015</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>weighted-average number of basic

number of diluted shares</td><td>96.0</td><td>96.9</td><td>96.9</td></tr></table> at december 31 , 2017 , 0.1 million stock options were excluded from the computation of weighted average diluted shares outstanding because the effect of including these shares would have been anti-dilutive . note 19 2013 commitments and contingencies the company is involved in various litigations , claims and administrative proceedings , including those related to environmental and product warranty matters . amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates , which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available . subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities , except as expressly set forth in this note , management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition , results of operations , liquidity or cash flows of the company . environmental matters the company is dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns . as to the latter , the company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former production facilities . the company regularly evaluates its remediation programs and considers alternative remediation methods that are in addition to , or in replacement of , those currently utilized by the company based upon enhanced technology and regulatory changes . changes to the company's remediation programs may result in increased expenses and increased environmental reserves . the company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the u.s . environmental protection agency and similar state authorities . it has also been identified as a potentially responsible party ( "prp" ) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal superfund and state remediation sites . for all such sites , there are other prps and , in most instances , the company 2019s involvement is minimal . in estimating its liability , the company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other prps who may be jointly and severally liable . the ability of other prps to participate has been taken into account , based on our understanding of the parties 2019 financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis . additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future . the company incurred $ 3.2 million , $ 23.3 million , and $ 4.4 million of expenses during the years ended december 31 , 2017 , 2016 and 2015 , respectively , for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by the company . in the fourth-quarter of 2016 , with the collaboration and approval of state regulators , the company launched a proactive , alternative approach to remediate two sites in the united states . this approach will allow the company to more aggressively address environmental conditions at these sites and reduce the impact of potential changes in regulatory requirements . as a result , the company recorded a $ 15 million charge for environmental remediation in the fourth quarter of 2016 . environmental remediation costs are recorded in costs of goods sold within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income . as of december 31 , 2017 and 2016 , the company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $ 28.9 million and $ 30.6 million . the total reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 included $ 8.9 million and $ 9.6 million related to remediation of sites previously disposed by the company . environmental reserves are classified as accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term . the company's total current environmental reserve at december 31 , 2017 and 2016 was $ 12.6 million and $ 6.1 million and the remainder is classified as noncurrent . given the evolving nature of environmental laws , regulations and technology , the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain. . Question: what is the difference in recorded reserves for environmental matters from 2016 to 2017? Answer: -1.7 Question: what fraction does this represent?

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

adjusting the historical results of sikorsky with pro forma adjustments , net of tax , that assume the acquisition occurred on january 1 , 2014 . significant pro forma adjustments include the recognition of additional amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets and additional interest expense related to the short-term debt used to finance the acquisition . these .

price real- izations are expected to be comparable to fourth- quarter averages . an additional containerboard price increase was announced in january that is expected to be fully realized in the second quarter . costs for wood , energy , starch , adhesives and freight are expected to increase . manufacturing costs will be higher due to costs associated with scheduled main- tenance outages in the containerboard mills . euro- pean container operating results are expected to improve as seasonally higher sales volumes and improved margins more than offset slightly higher manufacturing costs . consumer packaging demand and pricing for consumer packaging prod- ucts correlate closely with consumer spending and general economic activity . in addition to prices and volumes , major factors affecting the profitability of consumer packaging are raw material and energy costs , manufacturing efficiency and product mix . consumer packaging net sales increased 9% ( 9 % ) compared with 2005 and 7% ( 7 % ) compared with 2004 . operating profits rose 8% ( 8 % ) from 2005 , but declined 15% ( 15 % ) from 2004 levels . compared with 2005 , higher sales volumes ( $ 9 million ) , improved average sales price realizations ( $ 33 million ) , reduced lack-of-order downtime ( $ 18 million ) , and favorable mill oper- ations ( $ 25 million ) were partially offset by higher raw material costs ( $ 19 million ) and freight costs ( $ 21 million ) , unfavorable mix ( $ 14 million ) and other costs ( $ 21 million ) . consumer packaging in millions 2006 2005 2004 . <table

and $ 1.1 billion in 2004 . sales volumes increased in 2006 compared with 2005 , particularly in the folding car- ton board segment , reflecting improved demand for coated paperboard products . in 2006 , our coated paperboard mills took 4000 tons of lack-of-order downtime , compared with 82000 tons of lack-of-order downtime in 2005 . average sales price realizations were substantially improved in the cur- rent year , principally for folding carton board and cupstock board . operating profits were 51% ( 51 % ) higher in 2006 than in 2005 , and 7% ( 7 % ) better than in 2004 . the impact of the higher sales prices along with more favorable manufacturing operations due to strong performance at the mills more than offset higher input costs for energy and freight . foodservice net sales declined to $ 396 million in 2006 , compared with $ 437 million in 2005 and $ 480 million in 2004 , due principally to the sale of the jackson , tennessee plant in july 2005 . sales vol- umes were lower in 2006 than in 2005 , although average sales prices were higher due to the realiza- tion of price increases implemented during 2005 . operating profits for 2006 improved over 2005 and 2004 levels largely due to the benefits from higher sales prices . raw material costs for bleached board were higher than in 2005 , but manufacturing costs were more favorable due to increased productivity and reduced waste . shorewood net sales of $ 670 million were down from $ 691 million in 2005 and $ 687 million in 2004 . sales volumes in 2006 were down from 2005 levels due to weak demand in the home entertainment and consumer products markets , although demand was strong in the tobacco segment . average sales prices for the year were lower than in 2005 . operating prof- its were down significantly from both 2005 and 2004 due to the decline in sales , particularly in the higher margin home entertainment markets , higher raw material costs for bleached board and certain inventory adjustment costs . entering 2007 , coated paperboard first-quarter sales volumes are expected to be seasonally stronger than in the fourth quarter 2006 for folding carton board and bristols . average sales price realizations are expected to rise with a price increase announced in january . it is anticipated that manufacturing costs will improve versus an unfavorable fourth quarter . foodservice earnings for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to decline due to seasonally weaker vol- ume . however , sales price realizations will be slightly higher , and the seasonal switch to hot cup contain- ers will have a favorable impact on product mix . shorewood sales volumes for the first quarter of 2007 are expected to seasonally decline , but the earnings impact will be partially offset by pricing improvements and an improved product mix . distribution our distribution business , principally represented by our xpedx business , markets a diverse array of products and supply chain services to customers in .

troubled debt restructurings ( tdrs ) a tdr is a loan whose terms have been restructured in a manner that grants a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty . tdrs result from our loss mitigation activities , and include rate reductions , principal forgiveness , postponement/reduction of scheduled amortization , and extensions , which are intended to minimize economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral . additionally , tdrs also result from borrowers that have been discharged from personal liability through chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not formally reaffirmed their loan obligations to pnc . in those situations where principal is forgiven , the amount of such principal forgiveness is immediately charged off . some tdrs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest , as restructured , and result in potential incremental losses . these potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall alll estimate . the level of any subsequent defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions . once a loan becomes a tdr , it will continue to be reported as a tdr until it is ultimately repaid in full , the collateral is foreclosed upon , or it is fully charged off . we held specific reserves in the alll of $ .4 billion and $ .5 billion at december 31 , 2014 and december 31 , 2013 , respectively , for the total tdr portfolio . table 67 : summary of troubled debt restructurings in millions december 31 december 31 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>in millions</td><td>december 312014</td><td>december 312013</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>total consumer lending</td><td>$ 2041</td><td>$ 2161</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>total commercial lending</td><td>542</td><td>578</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>total tdrs</td><td>$ 2583</td><td>$ 2739</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>nonperforming</td><td>$ 1370</td><td>$ 1511</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>accruing ( a )</td><td>1083</td><td>1062</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>credit card</td><td>130</td><td>166</td></tr><tr><td>8</td><td>total tdrs</td><td>$ 2583</td><td>$ 2739</td></tr></table> ( a ) accruing tdr loans have demonstrated a period of at least six months of performance under the restructured terms and are excluded from nonperforming loans . loans where borrowers have been discharged from personal liability through chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not formally reaffirmed their loan obligations to pnc and loans to borrowers not currently obligated to make both principal and interest payments under the restructured terms are not returned to accrual status . table 68 quantifies the number of loans that were classified as tdrs as well as the change in the recorded investments as a result of the tdr classification during 2014 , 2013 , and 2012 , respectively . additionally , the table provides information about the types of tdr concessions . the principal forgiveness tdr category includes principal forgiveness and accrued interest forgiveness . these types of tdrs result in a write down of the recorded investment and a charge-off if such action has not already taken place . the rate reduction tdr category includes reduced interest rate and interest deferral . the tdrs within this category result in reductions to future interest income . the other tdr category primarily includes consumer borrowers that have been discharged from personal liability through chapter 7 bankruptcy and have not formally reaffirmed their loan obligations to pnc , as well as postponement/reduction of scheduled amortization and contractual extensions for both consumer and commercial borrowers . in some cases , there have been multiple concessions granted on one loan . this is most common within the commercial loan portfolio . when there have been multiple concessions granted in the commercial loan portfolio , the principal forgiveness concession was prioritized for purposes of determining the inclusion in table 68 . for example , if there is principal forgiveness in conjunction with lower interest rate and postponement of amortization , the type of concession will be reported as principal forgiveness . second in priority would be rate reduction . for example , if there is an interest rate reduction in conjunction with postponement of amortization , the type of concession will be reported as a rate reduction . in the event that multiple concessions are granted on a consumer loan , concessions resulting from discharge from personal liability through chapter 7 bankruptcy without formal affirmation of the loan obligations to pnc would be prioritized and included in the other type of concession in the table below . after that , consumer loan concessions would follow the previously discussed priority of concessions for the commercial loan portfolio . 138 the pnc financial services group , inc . 2013 form 10-k .

has decreased during the period from 2002 to 2004 , principally due to the increase in earned premium and due to cost containment measures undertaken by management . in business insurance and personal lines , the expense ratio is expected to decrease further in 2005 , largely as a result of expected increases in earned premium . in specialty commercial , the expense ratio is expected to increase slightly in 2005 due to changes in the business mix , most notably the company 2019s decision in the fourth quarter of 2004 to exit the multi-peril crop insurance program which will eliminate significant expense reimbursements from the specialty commercial segment . policyholder dividend ratio : the policyholder dividend ratio is the ratio of policyholder dividends to earned premium . combined ratio : the combined ratio is the sum of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio , the expense ratio and the policyholder dividend ratio . this ratio is a relative measurement that describes the related cost of losses and expense for every $ 100 of earned premiums . a combined ratio below 100.0 demonstrates underwriting profit ; a combined ratio above 100.0 demonstrates underwriting losses . the combined ratio has decreased from 2003 to 2004 primarily because of improvement in the expense ratio . the combined ratio in 2005 could be significantly higher or lower than the 2004 combined ratio depending on the level of catastrophe losses , but will also be impacted by changes in pricing and an expected moderation in favorable loss cost trends . catastrophe ratio : the catastrophe ratio ( a component of the loss and loss adjustment expense ratio ) represents the ratio of catastrophe losses ( net of reinsurance ) to earned premiums . a catastrophe is an event that causes $ 25 or more in industry insured property losses and affects a significant number of property and casualty policyholders and insurers . by their nature , catastrophe losses vary dramatically from year to year . based on the mix and geographic dispersion of premium written and estimates derived from various catastrophe loss models , the company 2019s expected catastrophe ratio over the long-term is 3.0 points . before considering the reduction in ongoing operation 2019s catastrophe reserves related to september 11 of $ 298 in 2004 , the catastrophe ratio in 2004 was 5.3 points . see 201crisk management strategy 201d below for a discussion of the company 2019s property catastrophe risk management program that serves to mitigate the company 2019s net exposure to catastrophe losses . combined ratio before catastrophes and prior accident year development : the combined ratio before catastrophes and prior accident year development represents the combined ratio for the current accident year , excluding the impact of catastrophes . the company believes this ratio is an important measure of the trend in profitability since it removes the impact of volatile and unpredictable catastrophe losses and prior accident year reserve development . before considering catastrophes , the combined ratio related to current accident year business has improved from 2002 to 2004 principally due to earned pricing increases and favorable claim frequency . other operations underwriting results : the other operations segment is responsible for managing operations of the hartford that have discontinued writing new or renewal business as well as managing the claims related to asbestos and environmental exposures . as such , neither earned premiums nor underwriting ratios are meaningful financial measures . instead , management believes that underwriting result is a more meaningful measure . the net underwriting loss for 2002 through 2004 is primarily due to prior accident year loss development , including $ 2.6 billion of net asbestos reserve strengthening in 2003 . reserve estimates within other operations , including estimates for asbestos and environmental claims , are inherently uncertain . refer to the other operations segment md&a for further discussion of other operation's underwriting results . total property & casualty investment earnings . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2004</td><td>2003</td><td>2002</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>investment yield after-tax</td><td>4.1% ( 4.1 % )</td><td>4.2% ( 4.2 % )</td><td>4.5% ( 4.5 % )</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>net realized capital gains ( losses ) after-tax</td><td>$ 87</td><td>$ 165</td><td>$ -44 ( 44 )</td></tr></table> the investment return , or yield , on property & casualty 2019s invested assets is an important element of the company 2019s earnings since insurance products are priced with the assumption that premiums received can be invested for a period of time before loss and loss adjustment expenses are paid . for longer tail lines , such as workers 2019 compensation and general liability , claims are paid over several years and , therefore , the premiums received for these lines of business can generate significant investment income . him determines the appropriate allocation of investments by asset class and measures the investment yield performance for each asset class against market indices or other benchmarks . due to the emphasis on preservation of capital and the need to maintain sufficient liquidity to satisfy claim obligations , the vast majority of property and casualty 2019s invested assets have been held in fixed maturities , including , among other asset classes , corporate bonds , municipal bonds , government debt , short-term debt , mortgage- .

outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance , including industry-specific guidance . the guidance also changes the accounting for certain contract costs and revises the criteria for determining if an entity is acting as a principal or agent in certain arrangements . the key changes in the standard that impact the company 2019s revenue recognition relate to the presentation of certain revenue contracts and associated contract costs . the most significant of these changes relates to the presentation of certain distribution costs , which are currently presented net against revenues ( contra-revenue ) and will be presented as an expense on a

citigroup 2019s repurchases are primarily from government sponsored entities . the specific representations and warranties made by the company depend on the nature of the transaction and the requirements of the buyer . market conditions and credit-ratings agency requirements may also affect representations and warranties and the other provisions the company may agree to in loan sales . in the event of a breach of the representations and warranties , the company may be required to either repurchase the mortgage loans ( generally at unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest ) with the identified defects or indemnify ( 201cmake-whole 201d ) the investor or insurer . the company has recorded a repurchase reserve that is included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet . in the case of a repurchase , the company will bear any subsequent credit loss on the mortgage loans . the company 2019s representations and warranties are generally not subject to stated limits in amount or time of coverage . however , contractual liability arises only when the representations and warranties are breached and generally only when a loss results from the breach . in the case of a repurchase , the loan is typically considered a credit- impaired loan and accounted for under sop 03-3 , 201caccounting for certain loans and debt securities , acquired in a transfer 201d ( now incorporated into asc 310-30 , receivables 2014loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality ) . these repurchases have not had a material impact on nonperforming loan statistics , because credit-impaired purchased sop 03-3 loans are not included in nonaccrual loans . the company estimates its exposure to losses from its obligation to repurchase previously sold loans based on the probability of repurchase or make-whole and an estimated loss given repurchase or make-whole . this estimate is calculated separately by sales vintage ( i.e. , the year the loans were sold ) based on a combination of historical trends and forecasted repurchases and losses considering the : ( 1 ) trends in requests by investors for loan documentation packages to be reviewed ; ( 2 ) trends in recent repurchases and make-wholes ; ( 3 ) historical percentage of claims made as a percentage of loan documentation package requests ; ( 4 ) success rate in appealing claims ; ( 5 ) inventory of unresolved claims ; and ( 6 ) estimated loss given repurchase or make-whole , including the loss of principal , accrued interest , and foreclosure costs . the company does not change its estimation methodology by counterparty , but the historical experience and trends are considered when evaluating the overall reserve . the request for loan documentation packages is an early indicator of a potential claim . during 2009 , loan documentation package requests and the level of outstanding claims increased . in addition , our loss severity estimates increased during 2009 due to the impact of macroeconomic factors and recent experience . these factors contributed to a $ 493 million change in estimate for this reserve in 2009 . as indicated above , the repurchase reserve is calculated by sales vintage . the majority of the repurchases in 2009 were from the 2006 and 2007 sales vintages , which also represent the vintages with the largest loss- given-repurchase . an insignificant percentage of 2009 repurchases were from vintages prior to 2006 , and this is expected to decrease , because those vintages are later in the credit cycle . although early in the credit cycle , the company has experienced improved repurchase and loss-given-repurchase statistics from the 2008 and 2009 vintages . in the case of a repurchase of a credit-impaired sop 03-3 loan ( now incorporated into asc 310-30 ) , the difference between the loan 2019s fair value and unpaid principal balance at the time of the repurchase is recorded as a utilization of the repurchase reserve . payments to make the investor whole are also treated as utilizations and charged directly against the reserve . the provision for estimated probable losses arising from loan sales is recorded as an adjustment to the gain on sale , which is included in other revenue in the consolidated statement of income . a liability for representations and warranties is estimated when the company sells loans and is updated quarterly . any subsequent adjustment to the provision is recorded in other revenue in the consolidated statement of income . the activity in the repurchase reserve for the years ended december 31 , 2009 and 2008 is as follows: . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>in millions of dollars</td><td>2009</td><td>2008</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>balance beginning of the year</td><td>$ 75</td><td>$ 2</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>additions for new sales</td><td>33</td><td>23</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>change in estimate</td><td>493</td><td>59</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>utilizations</td><td>-119 ( 119 )</td><td>-9 ( 9 )</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>balance end of the year</td><td>$ 482</td><td>$ 75</td></tr></table> goodwill goodwill represents an acquired company 2019s acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired . goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests , whereby goodwill is allocated to the company 2019s reporting units and an impairment is deemed to exist if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value . furthermore , on any business dispositions , goodwill is allocated to the business disposed of based on the ratio of the fair value of the business disposed of to the fair value of the reporting unit . intangible assets intangible assets 2014including core deposit intangibles , present value of future profits , purchased credit card relationships , other customer relationships , and other intangible assets , but excluding msrs 2014are amortized over their estimated useful lives . intangible assets deemed to have indefinite useful lives , primarily certain asset management contracts and trade names , are not amortized and are subject to annual impairment tests . an impairment exists if the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value . for other intangible assets subject to amortization , an impairment is recognized if the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds the fair value of the intangible asset . other assets and other liabilities other assets include , among other items , loans held-for-sale , deferred tax assets , equity-method investments , interest and fees receivable , premises and equipment , end-user derivatives in a net receivable position , repossessed assets , and other receivables. . Question: what was the change in estimate in 2009? Answer: 493.0 Question: and what was it in 2008? Answer: 59.0 Question: how much, then, did the 2009 change represent in relation to this 2008 one?

( 2 ) we increased our focus on development of wholly-owned properties , and also significantly increased our leasing activity during 2012 , which resulted in an increased absorption of overhead costs . we capitalized $ 30.4 million and $ 20.0 million of our total overhead costs to leasing and development , respectively , for consolidated properties during 2012 , compared to capitalizing $ 25.3 million and $ 10.4 million of such costs , respectively , for 2011 . combined overhead costs capitalized to leasing and development totaled 31.1% ( 31.1 % ) and 20.6% ( 20.6 % ) of our overall pool of overhead costs for 2012 and 2011 , respectively . ( 3 ) the reduction in the allocation of overhead costs to service operations and rental operations resulted from reduced volumes of third-party construction projects as well as due to reducing our overall investment in office properties , which are more management intensive . interest expense interest expense allocable to continuing operations increased from $ 220.5 million in 2011 to $ 245.2 million in 2012 . we had $ 47.4 million of interest expense allocated to discontinued operations in 2011 , associated with the properties that were disposed of during 2011 , compared to the allocation of only $ 3.1 million of interest expense to discontinued operations for 2012 . total interest expense , combined for continuing and discontinued operations , decreased from $ 267.8 million in 2011 to $ 248.3 million in 2012 . the reduction in total interest expense was primarily the result of a lower weighted average borrowing rate in 2012 , due to refinancing some higher rate bonds in 2011 and 2012 , as well as a slight decrease in our average level of borrowings compared to 2011 . also , due to an increase in properties under development from 2011 , which met the criteria for capitalization of interest and were financed in part by common equity issuances during 2012 , a $ 5.0 million increase in capitalized interest also contributed to the decrease in total interest expense in 2012 . acquisition-related activity during 2012 , we recognized approximately $ 4.2 million in acquisition costs , compared to $ 2.3 million of such costs in 2011 . the increase from 2011 to 2012 is the result of acquiring a higher volume of medical office properties , where a higher level of acquisition costs are incurred than other property types , in 2012 . during 2011 , we also recognized a $ 1.1 million gain related to the acquisition of a building from one of our 50%-owned unconsolidated joint ventures . discontinued operations subject to certain criteria , the results of operations for properties sold during the year to unrelated parties , or classified as held-for-sale at the end of the period , are required to be classified as discontinued operations . the property specific components of earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include rental revenues , rental expenses , real estate taxes , allocated interest expense and depreciation expense , as well as the net gain or loss on the disposition of properties . the operations of 150 buildings are currently classified as discontinued operations . these 150 buildings consist of 114 office , 30 industrial , four retail , and two medical office properties . as a result , we classified operating losses , before gain on sales , of $ 1.5 million , $ 1.8 million and $ 7.1 million in discontinued operations for the years ended december 31 , 2012 , 2011 and 2010 , respectively . of these properties , 28 were sold during 2012 , 101 properties were sold during 2011 and 19 properties were sold during 2010 . the gains on disposal of these properties of $ 13.5 million , $ 100.9 million and $ 33.1 million for the years ended december 31 , 2012 , 2011 and .

and certain other post- retirement benefit plans . the amounts needed to fund future payouts under our defined benefit pension and post-retirement benefit plans are subject to numerous assumptions and variables . cer- tain significant variables require us to make assumptions that are within our control such as an anticipated discount rate , expected rate of return on plan assets and future compensation levels . we evaluate these assumptions with our actuarial advisors and select assumptions that we believe reflect the economics underlying our pension and post-retirement obligations . while we believe these assumptions are within accepted industry ranges , an increase or decrease in the assumptions or economic events outside our control could have a direct impact on reported net earnings . the discount rate for each plan used for determining future net periodic benefit cost is based on a review of highly rated long-term bonds . for fiscal 2013 , we used a discount rate for our domestic plans of 3.90% ( 3.90 % ) and vary- ing rates on our international plans of between 1.00% ( 1.00 % ) and 7.00% ( 7.00 % ) . the discount rate for our domestic plans is based on a bond portfolio that includes only long-term bonds with an aa rating , or equivalent , from a major rating agency . as of june 30 , 2013 , we used an above-mean yield curve , rather than the broad-based yield curve we used before , because we believe it represents a better estimate of an effective settlement rate of the obligation , and the timing and amount of cash flows related to the bonds included in this portfolio are expected to match the estimated defined benefit payment streams of our domestic plans . the benefit obligation of our domestic plans would have been higher by approximately $ 34 mil- lion at june 30 , 2013 had we not used the above-mean yield curve . for our international plans , the discount rate in a particular country was principally determined based on a yield curve constructed from high quality corporate bonds in each country , with the resulting portfolio having a duration matching that particular plan . for fiscal 2013 , we used an expected return on plan assets of 7.50% ( 7.50 % ) for our u.s . qualified plan and varying rates of between 2.25% ( 2.25 % ) and 7.00% ( 7.00 % ) for our international plans . in determining the long-term rate of return for a plan , we consider the historical rates of return , the nature of the plan 2019s investments and an expectation for the plan 2019s investment strategies . see 201cnote 12 2014 pension , deferred compensation and post-retirement benefit plans 201d of notes to consolidated financial statements for details regarding the nature of our pension and post-retirement plan invest- ments . the difference between actual and expected return on plan assets is reported as a component of accu- mulated other comprehensive income . those gains/losses that are subject to amortization over future periods will be recognized as a component of the net periodic benefit cost in such future periods . for fiscal 2013 , our pension plans had actual return on assets of approximately $ 74 million as compared with expected return on assets of approximately $ 64 million . the resulting net deferred gain of approximately $ 10 million , when combined with gains and losses from previous years , will be amortized over periods ranging from approximately 7 to 22 years . the actual return on plan assets from our international pen- sion plans exceeded expectations , primarily reflecting a strong performance from fixed income and equity invest- ments . the lower than expected return on assets from our u.s . qualified plan was primarily due to weakness in our fixed income investments , partially offset by our strong equity returns . a 25 basis-point change in the discount rate or the expected rate of return on plan assets would have had the following effect on fiscal 2013 pension expense : 25 basis-point 25 basis-point increase decrease ( in millions ) . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( in millions )</td><td>25 basis-point increase</td><td>25 basis-point decrease</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>discount rate</td><td>$ -3.5 ( 3.5 )</td><td>$ 3.9</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>expected return on assets</td><td>$ -2.5 ( 2.5 )</td><td>$ 2.7</td></tr></table> our post-retirement plans are comprised of health care plans that could be impacted by health care cost trend rates , which may have a significant effect on the amounts the est{e lauder companies inc . 115 .

critical accounting estimates our consolidated financial statements include amounts that , either by their nature or due to requirements of accounting princi- ples generally accepted in the u.s . ( gaap ) , are determined using best estimates and assumptions . while we believe that the amounts included in our consolidated financial statements reflect our best judgment , actual amounts could ultimately materi- ally differ from those currently presented . we believe the items that require the most subjective and complex estimates are : 2022 unpaid loss and loss expense reserves , including long-tail asbestos and environmental ( a&e ) reserves ; 2022 future policy benefits reserves ; 2022 valuation of value of business acquired ( voba ) and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and voba ; 2022 the assessment of risk transfer for certain structured insurance and reinsurance contracts ; 2022 reinsurance recoverable , including a provision for uncollectible reinsurance ; 2022 the valuation of our investment portfolio and assessment of other-than-temporary impairments ( otti ) ; 2022 the valuation of deferred tax assets ; 2022 the valuation of derivative instruments related to guaranteed minimum income benefits ( gmib ) ; and 2022 the valuation of goodwill . we believe our accounting policies for these items are of critical importance to our consolidated financial statements . the following discussion provides more information regarding the estimates and assumptions required to arrive at these amounts and should be read in conjunction with the sections entitled : prior period development , asbestos and environmental and other run-off liabilities , reinsurance recoverable on ceded reinsurance , investments , net realized gains ( losses ) , and other income and expense items . unpaid losses and loss expenses overview and key data as an insurance and reinsurance company , we are required , by applicable laws and regulations and gaap , to establish loss and loss expense reserves for the estimated unpaid portion of the ultimate liability for losses and loss expenses under the terms of our policies and agreements with our insured and reinsured customers . the estimate of the liabilities includes provisions for claims that have been reported but are unpaid at the balance sheet date ( case reserves ) and for future obligations on claims that have been incurred but not reported ( ibnr ) at the balance sheet date ( ibnr may also include a provision for additional development on reported claims in instances where the case reserve is viewed to be potentially insufficient ) . loss reserves also include an estimate of expenses associated with processing and settling unpaid claims ( loss expenses ) . at december 31 , 2009 , our gross unpaid loss and loss expense reserves were $ 37.8 billion and our net unpaid loss and loss expense reserves were $ 25 billion . with the exception of certain structured settlements , for which the timing and amount of future claim pay- ments are reliably determinable , our loss reserves are not discounted for the time value of money . in connection with such structured settlements , we carry net reserves of $ 76 million , net of discount . the table below presents a roll-forward of our unpaid losses and loss expenses for the years ended december 31 , 2009 and 2008. . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( in millions of u.s . dollars )</td><td>2009 gross losses</td><td>2009 reinsurance recoverable ( 1 )</td><td>2009 net losses</td><td>2009 gross losses</td><td>2009 reinsurance recoverable ( 1 )</td><td>net losses</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>balance beginning of year</td><td>$ 37176</td><td>$ 12935</td><td>$ 24241</td><td>$ 37112</td><td>$ 13520</td><td>$ 23592</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>losses and loss expenses incurred</td><td>11141</td><td>3719</td><td>7422</td><td>10944</td><td>3341</td><td>7603</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>losses and loss expenses paid</td><td>-11093 ( 11093 )</td><td>-4145 ( 4145 )</td><td>-6948 ( 6948 )</td><td>-9899 ( 9899 )</td><td>-3572 ( 3572 )</td><td>-6327 ( 6327 )</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>other ( including foreign exchange revaluation )</td><td>559</td><td>236</td><td>323</td><td>-1367 ( 1367 )</td><td>-387 ( 387 )</td><td>-980 ( 980 )</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>losses and loss expenses acquired</td><td>2013</td><td>2013</td><td>2013</td><td>386</td><td>33</td><td>353</td></tr><tr><td>7</td><td>balance end of year</td><td>$ 37783</td><td>$ 12745</td><td>$ 25038</td><td>$ 37176</td><td>$ 12935</td><td>$ 24241</td></tr></table> ( 1 ) net of provision for uncollectible reinsurance .

tissue pulp due to strong market demand , partic- ularly from asia . average sales price realizations improved significantly in 2007 , principally reflecting higher average prices for softwood , hardwood and fluff pulp . operating earnings in 2007 were $ 104 mil- lion compared with $ 48 million in 2006 and $ 37 mil- lion in 2005 . the benefits from higher sales price realizations were partially offset by increased input costs for energy , chemicals and freight . entering the first quarter of 2008 , demand for market pulp remains strong , and average sales price realiza- tions should increase slightly . however , input costs for energy , chemicals and freight are expected to be higher , and increased spending is anticipated for planned mill maintenance outages . industrial packaging demand for industrial packaging products is closely correlated with non-durable industrial goods pro- duction , as well as with demand for processed foods , poultry , meat and agricultural products . in addition to prices and volumes , major factors affecting the profitability of industrial packaging are raw material and energy costs , freight costs , manufacturing effi- ciency and product mix . industrial packaging net sales for 2007 increased 6% ( 6 % ) to $ 5.2 billion compared with $ 4.9 bil- lion in 2006 , and 13% ( 13 % ) compared with $ 4.6 billion in 2005 . operating profits in 2007 were 26% ( 26 % ) higher than in 2006 and more than double 2005 earnings . bene- fits from improved price realizations ( $ 147 million ) , sales volume increases net of increased lack of order downtime ( $ 3 million ) , a more favorable mix ( $ 31 million ) , strong mill and converting operations ( $ 33 million ) and other costs ( $ 47 million ) were partially offset by the effects of higher raw material costs ( $ 76 million ) and higher freight costs ( $ 18 million ) . in addition , a gain of $ 13 million was recognized in 2006 related to a sale of property in spain and costs of $ 52 million were incurred in 2007 related to the conversion of the paper machine at pensacola to production of lightweight linerboard . the segment took 165000 tons of downtime in 2007 which included 16000 tons of market-related downtime compared with 135000 tons of downtime in 2006 of which none was market-related . industrial packaging in millions 2007 2006 2005 . <table

compared with 2006 , including production from the paper machine at pensacola that was converted to lightweight linerboard during 2007 . average sales price realizations were significantly higher than in 2006 reflecting price increases announced early in 2006 and in the third quarter of 2007 . margins improved reflecting stronger export demand . manu- facturing performance was strong , although costs associated with planned mill maintenance outages were higher due to timing of outages . raw material costs for wood , energy , chemicals and recycled fiber increased significantly . operating results for 2007 were also unfavorably impacted by $ 52 million of costs associated with the conversion and startup of the pensacola paper machine . u.s . converting sales volumes were slightly lower in 2007 compared with 2006 reflecting softer customer box demand . earnings improvement in 2007 bene- fited from the realization of box price increases announced in early 2006 and late 2007 . favorable manufacturing operations and higher sales prices for waste fiber more than offset significantly higher raw material and freight costs . looking ahead to the first quarter of 2008 , sales volumes are expected to increase slightly , and results should benefit from a full-quarter impact of the price increases announced in the third quarter of 2007 . however , additional mill maintenance outages are planned for the first quarter , and freight and input costs are expected to rise , particularly for wood and energy . manufacturing operations should be favorable compared with the fourth quarter . european industrial packaging net sales for 2007 were $ 1.1 billion , up from $ 1.0 billion in 2006 and $ 880 million in 2005 . sales volumes were about flat as early stronger demand in the industrial segment weakened in the second half of the year . operating profits in 2007 were $ 88 million compared with $ 69 million in 2006 and $ 53 million in 2005 . sales margins improved reflecting increased sales prices for boxes . conversion costs were favorable as the result of manufacturing improvement programs . entering the first quarter of 2008 , sales volumes should be strong seasonally across all regions as the winter fruit and vegetable season continues . profit margins , however , are expected to be somewhat lower. .

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

long-term product offerings include active and index strategies . our active strategies seek to earn attractive returns in excess of a market benchmark or performance hurdle while maintaining an appropriate risk profile . we offer two types of active strategies : those that rely primarily on fundamental research and those that utilize primarily quantitative models to drive portfolio construction . in contrast , index strategies seek to closely track the returns of a corresponding index , generally by investing in substantially the same underlying securities within the index or in a subset of those securities selected to approximate a similar risk and return profile of the index . index strategies include both our non-etf index products and ishares etfs . althoughmany clients use both active and index strategies , the application of these strategies may differ . for example , clients may use index products to gain exposure to a market or asset class . in addition , institutional non-etf index assignments tend to be very large ( multi-billion dollars ) and typically reflect low fee rates . this has the potential to exaggerate the significance of net flows in institutional index products on blackrock 2019s revenues and earnings . equity year-end 2015 equity aum totaled $ 2.424 trillion , reflecting net inflows of $ 52.8 billion . net inflows included $ 78.4 billion and $ 4.2 billion into ishares and active products , respectively . ishares net inflows were driven by the core series and flows into broad developed market equity exposures , and active net inflows reflected demand for international equities . ishares and active net inflows were partially offset by non-etf index net outflows of $ 29.8 billion . blackrock 2019s effective fee rates fluctuate due to changes in aummix . approximately half of blackrock 2019s equity aum is tied to international markets , including emerging markets , which tend to have higher fee rates than u.s . equity strategies . accordingly , fluctuations in international equity markets , which do not consistently move in tandemwith u.s . markets , may have a greater impact on blackrock 2019s effective equity fee rates and revenues . fixed income fixed income aum ended 2015 at $ 1.422 trillion , increasing $ 28.7 billion , or 2% ( 2 % ) , from december 31 , 2014 . the increase in aum reflected $ 76.9 billion in net inflows , partially offset by $ 48.2 billion in net market depreciation and foreign exchange movements . in 2015 , active net inflows of $ 35.9 billion were diversified across fixed income offerings , with strong flows into our unconstrained , total return and high yield strategies . flagship funds in these product areas include our unconstrained strategic income opportunities and fixed income strategies funds , with net inflows of $ 7.0 billion and $ 3.7 billion , respectively ; our total return fund with net inflows of $ 2.7 billion ; and our high yield bond fund with net inflows of $ 3.5 billion . fixed income ishares net inflows of $ 50.3 billion were led by flows into core , corporate and high yield bond funds . active and ishares net inflows were partially offset by non-etf index net outflows of $ 9.3 billion . multi-asset class blackrock 2019s multi-asset class teammanages a variety of balanced funds and bespoke mandates for a diversified client base that leverages our broad investment expertise in global equities , bonds , currencies and commodities , and our extensive risk management capabilities . investment solutions might include a combination of long-only portfolios and alternative investments as well as tactical asset allocation overlays . component changes in multi-asset class aum for 2015 are presented below .

continued investments in ecommerce and technology . the increase in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 2017 was partially offset by the impact of store closures in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 . membership and other income was relatively flat for fiscal 2018 and increased $ 1.0 billion a0for fiscal 2017 , when compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year . while fiscal 2018 included a $ 387 million gain from the sale of suburbia , a $ 47 million gain from a land sale , higher recycling income from our sustainability efforts and higher membership income from increased plus member penetration at sam's club , these gains were less than gains recognized in fiscal 2017 . fiscal 2017 included a $ 535 million gain from the sale of our yihaodian business and a $ 194 million gain from the sale of shopping malls in chile . for fiscal 2018 , loss on extinguishment of debt was a0$ 3.1 billion , due to the early extinguishment of long-term debt which allowed us to retire higher rate debt to reduce interest expense in future periods . our effective income tax rate was 30.4% ( 30.4 % ) for fiscal 2018 and 30.3% ( 30.3 % ) for both fiscal 2017 and 2016 . although relatively consistent year-over-year , our effective income tax rate may fluctuate from period to period as a result of factors including changes in our assessment of certain tax contingencies , valuation allowances , changes in tax laws , outcomes of administrative audits , the impact of discrete items and the mix of earnings among our u.s . operations and international operations . the reconciliation from the u.s . statutory rate to the effective income tax rates for fiscal 2018 , 2017 and 2016 is presented in note 9 in the "notes to consolidated financial statements" and describes the impact of the enactment of the tax cuts and jobs act of 2017 ( the "tax act" ) to the fiscal 2018 effective income tax rate . as a result of the factors discussed above , we reported $ 10.5 billion and $ 14.3 billion of consolidated net income for fiscal 2018 and 2017 , respectively , which represents a decrease of $ 3.8 billion and $ 0.8 billion for fiscal 2018 and 2017 , respectively , when compared to the previous fiscal year . diluted net income per common share attributable to walmart ( "eps" ) was $ 3.28 and $ 4.38 for fiscal 2018 and 2017 , respectively .

2017 , respectively , when compared to the previous fiscal year . the increases in net sales were primarily due to increases in comparable store sales of 2.1% ( 2.1 % ) and 1.6% ( 1.6 % ) for fiscal 2018 and 2017 , respectively , and year-over-year growth in retail square feet of 0.7% ( 0.7 % ) and 1.4% ( 1.4 % ) for fiscal 2018 and 2017 , respectively . additionally , for fiscal 2018 , sales generated from ecommerce acquisitions further contributed to the year-over-year increase . gross profit rate decreased 24 basis points for fiscal 2018 and increased 24 basis points for fiscal 2017 , when compared to the previous fiscal year . for fiscal 2018 , the decrease was primarily due to strategic price investments and the mix impact from ecommerce . partially offsetting the negative factors for fiscal 2018 was the positive impact of savings from procuring merchandise . for fiscal 2017 , the increase in gross profit rate was primarily due to improved margin in food and consumables , including the impact of savings in procuring merchandise and lower transportation expense from lower fuel costs . operating expenses as a percentage of segment net sales was relatively flat for fiscal 2018 and increased 101 basis points for fiscal 2017 , when compared to the previous fiscal year . fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 included charges related to discontinued real estate projects of $ 244 million and $ 249 million , respectively . for fiscal 2017 , the increase was primarily driven by an increase in wage expense due to the investment in the associate wage structure ; the charge related to discontinued real estate projects ; and investments in digital retail and technology . the increase in operating expenses as a percentage of segment net sales for fiscal 2017 was partially offset by the impact of store closures in fiscal 2016 . as a result of the factors discussed above , segment operating income increased $ 124 million for fiscal 2018 and decreased $ 1.3 billion for fiscal 2017 , respectively. .

during 2014 , 2013 and 2012 , netherland , sewell & associates , inc . ( "nsai" ) prepared a certification of the prior year's reserves for the alba field in e.g . the nsai summary reports are filed as an exhibit to this annual report on form 10-k . members of the nsai team have multiple years of industry experience , having worked for large , international oil and gas companies before joining nsai . the senior technical advisor has over 35 years of practical experience in petroleum geosciences , with over 15 years experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves . the second team member has over 10 years of practical experience in petroleum engineering , with 5 years experience in the estimation and evaluation of reserves . both are registered professional engineers in the state of texas . ryder scott company ( "ryder scott" ) also performed audits of the prior years' reserves of several of our fields in 2014 , 2013 and 2012 . their summary reports are filed as exhibits to this annual report on form 10-k . the team lead for ryder scott has over 20 years of industry experience , having worked for a major international oil and gas company before joining ryder scott . he is a member of spe , where he served on the oil and gas reserves committee , and is a registered professional engineer in the state of texas . changes in proved undeveloped reserves as of december 31 , 2014 , 728 mmboe of proved undeveloped reserves were reported , an increase of 101 mmboe from december 31 , 2013 . the following table shows changes in total proved undeveloped reserves for 2014 : ( mmboe ) . <table

drilling . transfers from proved undeveloped to proved developed reserves included 67 mmboe in the eagle ford , 26 mmboe in the bakken and 1 mmboe in the oklahoma resource basins due to development drilling and completions . costs incurred in 2014 , 2013 and 2012 relating to the development of proved undeveloped reserves , were $ 3149 million , $ 2536 million and $ 1995 million . a total of 102 mmboe was booked as extensions , discoveries or other additions due to the application of reliable technology . technologies included statistical analysis of production performance , decline curve analysis , pressure and rate transient analysis , reservoir simulation and volumetric analysis . the statistical nature of production performance coupled with highly certain reservoir continuity or quality within the reliable technology areas and sufficient proved undeveloped locations establish the reasonable certainty criteria required for booking proved reserves . projects can remain in proved undeveloped reserves for extended periods in certain situations such as large development projects which take more than five years to complete , or the timing of when additional gas compression is needed . of the 728 mmboe of proved undeveloped reserves at december 31 , 2014 , 19 percent of the volume is associated with projects that have been included in proved reserves for more than five years . the majority of this volume is related to a compression project in e.g . that was sanctioned by our board of directors in 2004 . the timing of the installation of compression is being driven by the reservoir performance with this project intended to maintain maximum production levels . performance of this field since the board sanctioned the project has far exceeded expectations . estimates of initial dry gas in place increased by roughly 10 percent between 2004 and 2010 . during 2012 , the compression project received the approval of the e.g . government , allowing design and planning work to progress towards implementation , with completion expected by mid-2016 . the other component of alba proved undeveloped reserves is an infill well approved in 2013 and to be drilled in the second quarter of 2015 . proved undeveloped reserves for the north gialo development , located in the libyan sahara desert , were booked for the first time in 2010 . this development , which is anticipated to take more than five years to develop , is executed by the operator and encompasses a multi-year drilling program including the design , fabrication and installation of extensive liquid handling and gas recycling facilities . anecdotal evidence from similar development projects in the region lead to an expected project execution time frame of more than five years from the time the reserves were initially booked . interruptions associated with the civil unrest in 2011 and third-party labor strikes and civil unrest in 2013-2014 have also extended the project duration . as of december 31 , 2014 , future development costs estimated to be required for the development of proved undeveloped crude oil and condensate , ngls , natural gas and synthetic crude oil reserves related to continuing operations for the years 2015 through 2019 are projected to be $ 2915 million , $ 2598 million , $ 2493 million , $ 2669 million and $ 2745 million. .

strong sales throughout the year . support and service revenue , which is the largest component of total revenues for the credit union segment , experienced 34 percent growth in eft support and 10 percent growth in in-house support . gross profit in this business segment increased $ 9344 in fiscal 2008 compared to fiscal 2007 , due primarily to the increase in license revenue , which carries the highest margins . liquidity and capital resources we have historically generated positive cash flow from operations and have generally used funds generated from operations and short-term borrowings on our revolving credit facility to meet capital requirements . we expect this trend to continue in the future . the company 2019s cash and cash equivalents increased to $ 118251 at june 30

ended june 30 , 2009 as compared to $ 181001 for the fiscal year ended june 30 , 2008 . this increase is primarily attributable to a decrease in receivables compared to the same period a year ago of $ 21214 . this decrease is largely the result of fiscal 2010 annual software maintenance billings being provided to customers earlier than in the prior year , which allowed more cash to be collected before the end of the fiscal year than in previous years . further , we collected more cash overall related to revenues that will be recognized in subsequent periods in the current year than in fiscal

partially offset by proceeds of $ 20394 from the exercise of stock options and the sale of common stock and $ 3809 excess tax benefits from stock option exercises . beginning during fiscal 2008 , us financial markets and many of the largest us financial institutions have been shaken by negative developments in the home mortgage industry and the mortgage markets , and particularly the markets for subprime mortgage-backed securities . since that time , these and other such developments have resulted in a broad , global economic downturn . while we , as is the case with most companies , have experienced the effects of this downturn , we have not experienced any significant issues with our current collection efforts , and we believe that any future impact to our liquidity will be minimized by cash generated by recurring sources of revenue and due to our access to available lines of credit. .

our non-operating investment activity resulted in net losses of $ 12.7 million in 2009 and $ 52.3 million in 2008 . the improvement of nearly $ 40 million is primarily attributable to a reduction in

6.3% ( 6.3 % ) , or $ 118 million , to $ 1.76 billion in 2008 as average assets under our management decreased $ 16 billion to $ 358.2 billion . the average annualized fee rate earned on our assets under management was 49.2 basis points in 2008 , down from the 50.2 basis points earned in 2007 , as lower equity market valuations resulted in a greater percentage of our assets under management being attributable to lower fee fixed income portfolios . continuing stress on the financial markets and resulting lower equity valuations as 2008 progressed resulted in lower average assets under our management , lower investment advisory fees and lower net income as compared to prior periods . net revenues decreased 5% ( 5 % ) , or $ 112 million , to $ 2.12 billion . operating expenses were $

% ) from 44.7% ( 44.7 % ) in 2007 . non-operating investment losses in 2008 were $ 52.3 million as compared to investment income of $ 80.4 million in 2007 . investment losses in 2008 include non-cash charges of $ 91.3 million for the other than temporary impairment of certain of the firm 2019s investments in sponsored mutual funds . net income in 2008 fell 27% ( 27 % ) or nearly $ 180 million from

turn invest in other t . rowe price funds . fund net inflow amounts in 2008 are presented net of $ 1.3 billion that was transferred to target-date trusts from the retirement funds during the year . decreases in market valuations and income not reinvested lowered our mutual fund assets under management by $ 85.5 billion during 2008 . investment advisory revenues earned on the other investment portfolios that we manage decreased $ 3.6 million to $ 522.2 million . average assets in these portfolios were $ 142.1 billion during 2008 , up slightly from $ 141.4 billion in 2007 . these minor changes , each less than 1% ( 1 % ) , are attributable to the timing of declining equity market valuations and cash flows among our separate account and subadvised portfolios . net inflows , primarily from institutional investors , were $ 13.2 billion during 2008 , including the $ 1.3 billion transferred from the retirement funds to target-date trusts . decreases in market valuations , net of

about $ 55 million for integrated warfare systems and sensors programs ( primarily radar and halifax class modernization programs ) due to increased risk retirements ; and approximately $ 30 million for undersea systems programs due to increased risk retirements . the increases were partially offset by lower operating profit of about $ 55 million for training and logistics programs , primarily due to the recording of approximately $ 30 million of charges mostly related to lower-of-cost-or-market considerations ;

in a new business model such as the retail segment is inherently risky , particularly in light of the significant investment involved , the current economic climate , and the fixed nature of a substantial portion of the retail segment's operating expenses . results for this segment are dependent upon a number of risks and uncertainties , some of which are discussed below under the heading "factors that may affect future results and financial condition." backlog in the company's experience , the actual amount of product backlog at any particular time is not a meaningful indication of its future business prospects . in particular , backlog often increases in anticipation of or immediately following new product introductions because of over- ordering by dealers anticipating shortages . backlog often is reduced once dealers and customers believe they can obtain sufficient supply . because of the foregoing , backlog cannot be considered a reliable indicator of the company's ability to achieve any particular level of revenue or financial performance . further information regarding the company's backlog may be found below under the heading "factors that may affect future results and financial condition." gross margin gross margin for the three fiscal years ended september 28 , 2002 are as follows ( in millions , except gross margin percentages ) : gross margin increased to 28% ( 28 % ) of net sales in 2002 from 23% ( 23 % ) in 2001 . as discussed below , gross margin in 2001 was unusually low resulting from negative gross margin of 2% ( 2 % ) experienced in the first quarter of 2001 . as a percentage of net sales , the company's quarterly gross margins declined during fiscal 2002 from 31% ( 31 % ) in the first quarter down to 26% ( 26 % ) in the fourth quarter . this decline resulted from several factors including a rise in component costs as the year progressed and aggressive pricing by the company across its products lines instituted as a result of continued pricing pressures in the personal computer industry . the company anticipates that its gross margin and the gross margin of the overall personal computer industry will remain under pressure throughout fiscal 2003 in light of weak economic conditions , flat demand for personal computers in general , and the resulting pressure on prices . the foregoing statements regarding anticipated gross margin in 2003 and the general demand for personal computers during 2003 are forward- looking . gross margin could differ from anticipated levels because of several factors , including certain of those set forth below in the subsection entitled "factors that may affect future results and financial condition." there can be no assurance that current gross margins will be maintained , targeted gross margin levels will be achieved , or current margins on existing individual products will be maintained . in general , gross margins and margins on individual products will remain under significant downward pressure due to a variety of factors , including continued industry wide global pricing pressures , increased competition , compressed product life cycles , potential increases in the cost and availability of raw material and outside manufacturing services , and potential changes to the company's product mix , including higher unit sales of consumer products with lower average selling prices and lower gross margins . in response to these downward pressures , the company expects it will continue to take pricing actions with respect to its products . gross margins could also be affected by the company's ability to effectively manage quality problems and warranty costs and to stimulate demand for certain of its products . the company's operating strategy and pricing take into account anticipated changes in foreign currency exchange rates over time ; however , the company's results of operations can be significantly affected in the short-term by fluctuations in exchange rates . the company orders components for its products and builds inventory in advance of product shipments . because the company's markets are volatile and subject to rapid technology and price changes , there is a risk the company will forecast incorrectly and produce or order from third parties excess or insufficient inventories of particular products or components . the company's operating results and financial condition have been in the past and may in the future be materially adversely affected by the company's ability to manage its inventory levels and outstanding purchase commitments and to respond to short-term shifts in customer demand patterns . gross margin declined to 23% ( 23 % ) of net sales in 2001 from 27% ( 27 % ) in 2000 . this decline resulted primarily from gross margin of negative 2% ( 2 % ) experienced during the first quarter of 2001 compared to 26% ( 26 % ) gross margin for the same quarter in 2000 . in addition to lower than normal net . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>2002</td><td>2001</td><td>2000</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>net sales</td><td>$ 5742</td><td>$ 5363</td><td>$ 7983</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>cost of sales</td><td>4139</td><td>4128</td><td>5817</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>gross margin</td><td>$ 1603</td><td>$ 1235</td><td>$ 2166</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>gross margin percentage</td><td>28% ( 28 % )</td><td>23% ( 23 % )</td><td>27% ( 27 % )</td></tr></table> .

there were no options granted in excess of market value in 2011 , 2010 or 2009 . shares of common stock available during the next year for the granting of options and other awards under the incentive plans were 33775543 at december 31 , 2011 . total shares of pnc common stock authorized for future issuance under equity compensation plans totaled 35304422 shares at december 31 , 2011 , which includes shares available for issuance under the incentive plans and the employee stock purchase plan ( espp ) as described below . during 2011 , we issued 731336 shares from treasury stock in connection with stock option exercise activity . as with past exercise activity , we currently intend to utilize primarily treasury stock for any future stock option exercises . awards granted to non-employee directors in 2011 , 2010 and 2009 include 27090 , 29040 , and 39552 deferred stock units , respectively , awarded under the outside directors deferred stock unit plan . a deferred stock unit is a phantom share of our common stock , which requires liability accounting treatment until such awards are paid to the participants as cash . as there are no vesting or service requirements on these awards , total compensation expense is recognized in full on awarded deferred stock units on the date of grant . incentive/performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards the fair value of nonvested incentive/performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards is initially determined based on prices not less than the market value of our common stock price on the date of grant . the value of certain incentive/ performance unit share awards is subsequently remeasured based on the achievement of one or more financial and other performance goals generally over a three-year period . the personnel and compensation committee of the board of directors approves the final award payout with respect to incentive/performance unit share awards . restricted stock/unit awards have various vesting periods generally ranging from 36 months to 60 months . beginning in 2011 , we incorporated two changes to certain awards under our existing long-term incentive compensation programs . first , for certain grants of incentive performance units , the future payout amount will be subject to a negative annual adjustment if pnc fails to meet certain risk-related performance metrics . this adjustment is in addition to the existing financial performance metrics relative to our peers . these grants have a three-year performance period and are payable in either stock or a combination of stock and cash . second , performance-based restricted share units ( performance rsus ) were granted in 2011 to certain of our executives in lieu of stock options . these performance rsus ( which are payable solely in stock ) have a service condition , an internal risk-related performance condition , and an external market condition . satisfaction of the performance condition is based on four independent one-year performance periods . the weighted-average grant-date fair value of incentive/ performance unit share awards and restricted stock/unit awards granted in 2011 , 2010 and 2009 was $ 63.25 , $ 54.59 and $ 41.16 per share , respectively . we recognize compensation expense for such awards ratably over the corresponding vesting and/or performance periods

shares , as those dividends will be paid in cash . at december 31 , 2011 , there was $ 61 million of unrecognized deferred compensation expense related to nonvested share- based compensation arrangements granted under the incentive plans . this cost is expected to be recognized as expense over a period of no longer than five years . the total fair value of incentive/performance unit share and restricted stock/unit awards vested during 2011 , 2010 and 2009 was approximately $ 52 million , $ 39 million and $ 47 million , respectively . liability awards we grant annually cash-payable restricted share units to certain executives . the grants were made primarily as part of an annual bonus incentive deferral plan . while there are time- based and service-related vesting criteria , there are no market or performance criteria associated with these awards . compensation expense recognized related to these awards was recorded in prior periods as part of annual cash bonus criteria . as of december 31 , 2011 , there were 753203 of these cash- payable restricted share units outstanding . 174 the pnc financial services group , inc . 2013 form 10-k .

note 12 2013 stock-based compensation during 2013 , 2012 , and 2011 , we recorded non-cash stock-based compensation expense totaling $ 189 million , $ 167 million , and $ 157 million , which is included as a component of other unallocated costs on our statements of earnings . the net impact to earnings for the respective years was $ 122 million , $ 108 million , and $ 101 million . as of december 31 , 2013 , we had $ 132 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards , which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years . we received cash from the exercise of stock options totaling $ 827 million , $ 440 million , and $ 116 million during 2013 , 2012 , and 2011 . in addition , our income tax liabilities for 2013 , 2012 , and 2011 were reduced by $ 158 million , $ 96 million , and $ 56 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 , 2013 , inclusive of the shares reserved for outstanding stock options , rsus and psus , we had 20.4 million shares reserved for issuance under the plans . at december 31 , 2013 , 4.7 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 2013 : number of rsus ( in thousands ) weighted average grant-date fair value per share . <table

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 . stock options we generally recognize compensation cost for stock options ratably over the three-year vesting period . at december 31 , 2013 and 2012 , there were 10.2 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 83.65 ) and 20.6 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 83.15 ) stock options outstanding . stock options outstanding at december 31 , 2013 have a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately five years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $ 663 million , and we expect nearly all of these stock options to vest . of the stock options outstanding , 7.7 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 84.37 ) have vested as of december 31 , 2013 and those stock options have a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately four years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $ 497 million . there were 10.1 million ( weighted average exercise price of $ 82.72 ) stock options exercised during 2013 . we did not grant stock options to employees during 2013. .

their ownership from 25% ( 25 % ) to 49.9% ( 49.9 % ) and made capital contributions of $ 106 million . any subsequent adjustments to allocate earnings and dividends to our partner , or measure the investment at fair value , will be classified as temporary equity each reporting period as it is probable that the shares will become redeemable . ipl 2014 ipl had $ 60 million of cumulative preferred stock outstanding at december 31 , 2016 and 2015 , which represented five series of preferred stock . the total annual dividend requirements were approximately $ 3 million at december 31 , 2016 and 2015 . certain series of the preferred stock were redeemable solely at the option of the issuer at prices between $ 100 and $ 118 per share . holders of the preferred stock are entitled to elect a majority of ipl's board of directors if ipl has not paid dividends to its preferred stockholders for four consecutive quarters . based on the preferred stockholders' ability to elect a majority of ipl's board of directors in this circumstance , the redemption of the preferred shares is considered to be not solely within the control of the issuer and the preferred stock is considered temporary equity . dpl 2014 dpl had $ 18 million of cumulative preferred stock outstanding as of december 31 , 2015 , which represented three series of preferred stock issued by dp&l , a wholly-owned subsidiary of dpl . the dp&l preferred stock was redeemable at dp&l's option as determined by its board of directors at per-share redemption prices between $ 101 and $ 103 per share , plus cumulative preferred dividends . in addition , dp&l's amended articles of incorporation contained provisions that permitted preferred stockholders to elect members of the dp&l board of directors in the event that cumulative dividends on the preferred stock are in arrears in an aggregate amount equivalent to at least four full quarterly dividends . based on the preferred stockholders' ability to elect members of dp&l's board of directors in this circumstance , the redemption of the preferred shares was considered to be not solely within the control of the issuer and the preferred stock was considered temporary equity . in september 2016 , it became probable that the preferred shares would become redeemable . as such , the company recorded an adjustment of $ 5 million to retained earnings to adjust the preferred shares to their redemption value of $ 23 million . in october 2016 , dp&l redeemed all of its preferred shares . upon redemption , the preferred shares were no longer outstanding and all rights of the holders thereof as shareholders of dp&l ceased to exist . ipalco 2014 in february 2015 , cdpq purchased 15% ( 15 % ) of aes us investment , inc. , a wholly-owned subsidiary that owns 100% ( 100 % ) of ipalco , for $ 247 million , with an option to invest an additional $ 349 million in ipalco through 2016 in exchange for a 17.65% ( 17.65 % ) equity stake . in april 2015 , cdpq invested an additional $ 214 million in ipalco , which resulted in cdpq's combined direct and indirect interest in ipalco of 24.90% ( 24.90 % ) . as a result of these transactions , $ 84 million in taxes and transaction costs were recognized as a net decrease to equity . the company also recognized an increase to additional paid-in capital and a reduction to retained earnings of 377 million for the excess of the fair value of the shares over their book value . no gain or loss was recognized in net income as the transaction was not considered to be a sale of in-substance real estate . in march 2016 , cdpq exercised its remaining option by investing $ 134 million in ipalco , which resulted in cdpq's combined direct and indirect interest in ipalco of 30% ( 30 % ) . the company also recognized an increase to additional paid-in capital and a reduction to retained earnings of $ 84 million for the excess of the fair value of the shares over their book value . in june 2016 , cdpq contributed an additional $ 24 million to ipalco , with no impact to the ownership structure of the investment . any subsequent adjustments to allocate earnings and dividends to cdpq will be classified as nci within permanent equity as it is not probable that the shares will become redeemable. .

management 2019s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations ( continued ) detail with respect to our investment portfolio as of december 31 , 2014 and 2013 is provided in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8 of this form 10-k . loans and leases averaged $ 15.91 billion for the year ended 2014 , up from $ 13.78 billion in 2013 . the increase was mainly related to mutual fund lending and our continued investment in senior secured bank loans . mutual fund lending and senior secured bank loans averaged approximately $ 9.12 billion and $ 1.40 billion , respectively , for the year ended december 31 , 2014 compared to $ 8.16 billion and $ 170 million for the year ended december 31 , 2013 , respectively . average loans and leases also include short- duration advances . table 13 : u.s . and non-u.s . short-duration advances years ended december 31 . <table class='wikitable'><tr><td>1</td><td>( in millions )</td><td>2014</td><td>2013</td><td>2012</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>average u.s . short-duration advances</td><td>$ 2355</td><td>$ 2356</td><td>$ 1972</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>average non-u.s . short-duration advances</td><td>1512</td><td>1393</td><td>1393</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>average total short-duration advances</td><td>$ 3867</td><td>$ 3749</td><td>$ 3365</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>average short-durance advances to average loans and leases</td><td>24% ( 24 % )</td><td>27% ( 27 % )</td><td>29% ( 29 % )</td></tr></table> average u.s . short-duration advances $ 2355 $ 2356 $ 1972 average non-u.s . short-duration advances 1512 1393 1393 average total short-duration advances $ 3867 $ 3749 $ 3365 average short-durance advances to average loans and leases 24% ( 24 % ) 27% ( 27 % ) 29% ( 29 % ) the decline in proportion of the average daily short-duration advances to average loans and leases is primarily due to growth in the other segments of the loan and lease portfolio . short-duration advances provide liquidity to clients in support of their investment activities . although average short-duration advances for the year ended december 31 , 2014 increased compared to the year ended december 31 , 2013 , such average advances remained low relative to historical levels , mainly the result of clients continuing to hold higher levels of liquidity . average other interest-earning assets increased to $ 15.94 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 11.16 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2013 . the increased levels were primarily the result of higher levels of cash collateral provided in connection with our enhanced custody business . aggregate average interest-bearing deposits increased to $ 130.30 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 109.25 billion for year ended 2013 . the higher levels were primarily the result of increases in both u.s . and non-u.s . transaction accounts and time deposits . future transaction account levels will be influenced by the underlying asset servicing business , as well as market conditions , including the general levels of u.s . and non-u.s . interest rates . average other short-term borrowings increased to $ 4.18 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 3.79 billion for the year ended 2013 . the increase was the result of a higher level of client demand for our commercial paper . the decline in rates paid from 1.6% ( 1.6 % ) in 2013 to 0.1% ( 0.1 % ) in 2014 resulted from a reclassification of certain derivative contracts that hedge our interest-rate risk on certain assets and liabilities , which reduced interest revenue and interest expense . average long-term debt increased to $ 9.31 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 8.42 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2013 . the increase primarily reflected the issuance of $ 1.5 billion of senior and subordinated debt in may 2013 , $ 1.0 billion of senior debt issued in november 2013 , and $ 1.0 billion of senior debt issued in december 2014 . this is partially offset by the maturities of $ 500 million of senior debt in may 2014 and $ 250 million of senior debt in march 2014 . average other interest-bearing liabilities increased to $ 7.35 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2014 from $ 6.46 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2013 , primarily the result of higher levels of cash collateral received from clients in connection with our enhanced custody business . several factors could affect future levels of our net interest revenue and margin , including the mix of client liabilities ; actions of various central banks ; changes in u.s . and non-u.s . interest rates ; changes in the various yield curves around the world ; revised or proposed regulatory capital or liquidity standards , or interpretations of those standards ; the amount of discount accretion generated by the former conduit securities that remain in our investment securities portfolio ; and the yields earned on securities purchased compared to the yields earned on securities sold or matured . based on market conditions and other factors , we continue to reinvest the majority of the proceeds from pay-downs and maturities of investment securities in highly-rated securities , such as u.s . treasury and agency securities , municipal securities , federal agency mortgage-backed securities and u.s . and non-u.s . mortgage- and asset-backed securities . the pace at which we continue to reinvest and the types of investment securities purchased will depend on the impact of market conditions and other factors over time . we expect these factors and the levels of global interest rates to influence what effect our reinvestment program will have on future levels of our net interest revenue and net interest margin. . Question: what was the average long-term debt in 2014, in billions? Answer: 9.31 Question: and what was it in 2013, also in billions?
