Income taxes in 2012 and 2011 included the recognition of tax benefits totaling approximately
$195 million and $410 million, respectively, as a result of favorable resolutions of various tax positions
pertaining to prior years. Income taxes in 2011 also reflected the non-deductibility of a litigation
reserve. Excluding these discrete items, the effective tax rates were less than the statutory U.S. federal
income tax rate of 35 percent principally due to the benefit of lower statutory tax rates and tax
exemptions in Puerto Rico and other foreign taxing jurisdictions, which reduced the tax rates by 23.5,
25.4 and 22.5 percentage points in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In 2010, Puerto Rico enacted legislation that assesses an excise tax beginning in 2011 on certain
products manufactured in Puerto Rico. The tax is levied on gross inventory purchases from entities in
Puerto Rico and is included in cost of products sold in the combined statements of earnings. The
majority of the tax is creditable for U.S. income tax purposes. In 2012 and 2011, the excise tax totaled
approximately $180 million and $105 million, respectively.
