Total effective tax rate 24.5% 34.1% 35.7%
During the fourth quarter of 2013, we recognized a net tax benefit of $18 million as a result of the reorganization
of certain of our foreign subsidiaries. This included a $360 million tax benefit resulting from the reversal of a
deferred tax liability related to our decision to indefinitely reinvest the earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries which
was made in conjunction with the reorganization that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2013. Due to the fact
that these undistributed foreign earnings are no longer a source of future income against which the foreign tax
credits will be utilized, we also recognized a tax charge of $342 million to record a valuation allowance against
certain foreign tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
