The Company also recorded expense associated with premiums paid for fuel derivative contracts that
settled/expired during 2015, 2014, and 2013 of $124 million, $62 million, and $60 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, 2015, recorded in AOCI, were
approximately $620 million in unrealized losses, net of taxes, which are expected to be realized in
earnings during the twelve months subsequent to December 31, 2015.
