The Company also recorded expense associated with premiums paid for fuel derivative
contracts that settled/expired during 2014, 2013, and 2012 of $62 million, $60 million, and $36
million, respectively. These amounts are excluded from the Company’s measurement of effectiveness
for related hedges and are included as a component of Other (gains) losses, net, in the Consolidated
Statement of Income.
The fair values of the derivative instruments, depending on the type of instrument, were
determined by the use of present value methods or option value models with assumptions about
commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets or provided by third parties. Included
in the Company’s cumulative net unrealized losses from fuel hedges as of December 31, 2014,
recorded in AOCI, were approximately $219 million in unrealized losses, net of taxes, which are
expected to be realized in earnings during the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2014.
