FINANCIAL REPORT
repurchased $1.10 billion of shares, completing our $1.50 billion share repurchase program announced in
2012.
We have 5.0 million authorized shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, no preferred
stock has been issued.
We have an employee benefit trust that held 50.0 million shares of our common stock at both December 31,
2015 and 2014, to provide a source of funds to assist us in meeting our obligations under various employee
benefit plans. The cost basis of the shares held in the trust was $3.01 billion at both December 31, 2015 and
2014, and is shown as a reduction in shareholders’ equity. Any dividend transactions between us and the trust
are eliminated. Stock held by the trust is not considered outstanding in the computation of EPS. The assets of
the trust were not used to fund any of our obligations under these employee benefit plans during the years
ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013.
Note 13: Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and
income tax reporting based on enacted tax laws and rates. Federal income taxes are provided on the portion
of the income of foreign subsidiaries that is expected to be remitted to the U.S. and be taxable. When foreign
earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S., no accrual for U.S. income taxes is
provided.
We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax
position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on
the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.
