Gross federal net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2014 were $19 million and are
available for use through 2030. Gross state net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as of
December 31, 2014 were $1.1 billion and $91 million, respectively. The state tax carryforwards expire in
periods between 2017 and 2034. As of December 31, 2014, foreign net operating loss carryforwards were
$113 million. The majority of the foreign loss carryforwards do not have an expiration period.
As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the company had valuation allowances of $172 million and
$43 million, respectively, principally related to state net operating losses and credit carryforwards that are
not expected to be realized.
Deferred income taxes have not been provided on approximately $23 billion of the undistributed
earnings of foreign subsidiaries as these earnings have been indefinitely reinvested for continued use in
foreign operations. Due to the complexities in tax laws and assumptions that would have to be made, it is
not practicable to estimate the amount of income taxes that would be due if these earnings were
distributed.
