2010 Compared to 2009
Our corporate/other loss was $333.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to $1.5
billion for the same period in 2009. The loss for the year ended December 31, 2010 was due to total operating
expenses of $174.5 million and other expense of $159.0 million. Total other income (expense) primarily
consisted of corporate interest expense of $167.1 million resulting from our interest-bearing corporate debt.
Corporate interest expense decreased 41% to $167.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 due to the
reduction in interest-bearing debt in connection with our Debt Exchange in the third quarter of 2009.
2009 Compared to 2008
Our corporate/other loss was $1.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2009. The loss was due primarily
to the $968.3 million pre-tax non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt related to the Debt Exchange, which is
reported in the total other income (expense) line item. Our corporate/other total operating expenses increased
14% to $202.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008. This increase was due primarily
to an increase in other operating expenses of $32.4 million related to the sale of corporate aircraft related assets
in the first quarter of 2008, which resulted in a $23.7 million gain on sale.
