the increase in total operating income was driven by the following: 2022 operating income in our north america operating segment increased $88.6 million to $461.0 million in 2015 from $372.4 million in 2014 primarily due to the items discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating income in our emea operating segment increased $14.9 million to $3.1 million in 2015 from a loss of $11.8 million in 2014 primarily due to sales growth discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating income in our asia-pacific operating segment increased $14.5 million to $36.4 million in 2015 from $21.9 million in 2014 primarily due to sales growth discussed above in the consolidated results of operations. 2022 operating loss in our latin america operating segment increased $15.2 million to $30.6 million in 2015 from $15.4 million in 2014 primarily due to increased investments to support growth in the region and the economic challenges in brazil during the period. this increase in operating loss was offset by sales growth discussed above. 2022 operating loss in our connected fitness segment increased $48.2 million to $61.3 million in 2015 from $13.1 million in 2014 primarily due to investments to support growth in our connected fitness business, including the impact of our two connected fitness acquisitions in 2015. these acquisitions contributed $23.6 million to the operating loss for the connected fitness segment in 2015. seasonality historically, we have recognized a majority of our net revenues and a significant portion of our income from operations in the last two quarters of the year, driven primarily by increased sales volume of our products during the fall selling season, including our higher priced cold weather products, along with a larger proportion of higher margin direct to consumer sales. seasonality could have an impact on the timing of accruals if the sales in the last two quarters of the year do not materialize. the level of our working capital generally reflects the seasonality and growth in our business. we generally expect inventory, accounts payable and certain accrued expenses to be higher in the second and third quarters in preparation for the fall selling season..

(see further discussion in this item 7 under liquidity and capital resources 2013 capital plan.) f0b7 financial expectations 2013 economic conditions in many of our market sectors continue to drive uncertainty with respect to our volume levels. we expect volumes to be down slightly in 2016 compared to 2015, but will depend on the overall economy and market conditions. the strong u.s. dollar and historic low commodity prices could also drive continued volatility. one of the biggest uncertainties is the outlook for energy markets, which will bring both challenges and opportunities. in the current environment, we expect continued margin improvement driven by continued pricing opportunities, ongoing productivity initiatives, and the ability to leverage our resources and strengthen our franchise. over the longer term, we expect the overall u.s. economy to continue to improve at a modest pace, with some markets outperforming others..

Please provide answers honestly and succinctly. | 2011 compared to 2010 mst 2019s net sales for 2011 decreased $311 million, or 4% (4%), compared to 2010. the decrease was attributable to decreased volume of approximately $390 million for certain ship and aviation system programs (primarily maritime patrol aircraft and ptds) and approximately $75 million for training and logistics solutions programs. partially offsetting these decreases was higher sales of about $165 million from production on the lcs program. mst 2019s operating profit for 2011 decreased $68 million, or 10% (10%), compared to 2010. the decrease was attributable to decreased operating profit of approximately $55 million as a result of increased reserves for contract cost matters on various ship and aviation system programs (including the terminated presidential helicopter program) and approximately $40 million due to lower volume and increased reserves on training and logistics solutions. partially offsetting these decreases was higher operating profit of approximately $30 million in 2011 primarily due to the recognition of reserves on certain undersea systems programs in 2010. adjustments not related to volume, including net profit rate adjustments described above, were approximately $55 million lower in 2011 compared to 2010. backlog backlog increased in 2012 compared to 2011 mainly due to increased orders on ship and aviation system programs (primarily mh-60 and lcs), partially offset decreased orders and higher sales volume on integrated warfare systems and sensors programs (primarily aegis). backlog decreased slightly in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily due to higher sales volume on various integrated warfare systems and sensors programs. trends we expect mst 2019s net sales to decline in 2013 in the low single digit percentage range as compared to 2012 due to the completion of ptds deliveries in 2012 and expected lower volume on training services programs. operating profit and margin are expected to increase slightly from 2012 levels primarily due to anticipated improved contract performance. space systems our space systems business segment is engaged in the research and development, design, engineering, and production of satellites, strategic and defensive missile systems, and space transportation systems. space systems is also responsible for various classified systems and services in support of vital national security systems. space systems 2019 major programs include the space-based infrared system (sbirs), advanced extremely high frequency (aehf) system, mobile user objective system (muos), global positioning satellite (gps) iii system, geostationary operational environmental satellite r-series (goes-r), trident ii d5 fleet ballistic missile, and orion. operating results for our space systems business segment include our equity interests in united launch alliance (ula), which provides expendable launch services for the u.s. government, united space alliance (usa), which provided processing activities for the space shuttle program and is winding down following the completion of the last space shuttle mission in 2011, and a joint venture that manages the u.k. 2019s atomic weapons establishment program. space systems 2019 operating results included the following (in millions):.

the estimated future payments for our postretirement benefit plans are before any estimated federal subsidies expected to be received under the medicare prescription drug, improvement and modernization act of 2003. federal subsidies are estimated to range from $0.5 in 2010 to $0.6 in 2014 and are estimated to be $2.4 for the period 2015-2019. savings plans we sponsor defined contribution plans (the 201csavings plans 201d) that cover substantially all domestic employees. the savings plans permit participants to make contributions on a pre-tax and/or after-tax basis and allows participants to choose among various investment alternatives. we match a portion of participant contributions based upon their years of service. amounts expensed for the savings plans for 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $35.1, $29.6 and $31.4, respectively. expense includes a discretionary company contribution of $3.8, $4.0 and $4.9 offset by participant forfeitures of $2.7, $7.8, $6.0 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. in addition, we maintain defined contribution plans in various foreign countries and contributed $25.0, $28.7 and $26.7 to these plans in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. deferred compensation and benefit arrangements we have deferred compensation arrangements which (i) permit certain of our key officers and employees to defer a portion of their salary or incentive compensation, or (ii) require us to contribute an amount to the participant 2019s account. the arrangements typically provide that the participant will receive the amounts deferred plus interest upon attaining certain conditions, such as completing a certain number of years of service or upon retirement or termination. as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, the deferred compensation liability balance was $100.3 and $107.6, respectively. amounts expensed for deferred compensation arrangements in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $11.6, $5.7 and $11.9, respectively. we have deferred benefit arrangements with certain key officers and employees that provide participants with an annual payment, payable when the participant attains a certain age and after the participant 2019s employment has terminated. the deferred benefit liability was $178.2 and $182.1 as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. amounts expensed for deferred benefit arrangements in 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $12.0, $14.9 and $15.5, respectively. we have purchased life insurance policies on participants 2019 lives to assist in the funding of the related deferred compensation and deferred benefit liabilities. as of december 31, 2009 and 2008, the cash surrender value of these policies was $119.4 and $100.2, respectively. in addition to the life insurance policies, certain investments are held for the purpose of paying the deferred compensation and deferred benefit liabilities. these investments, along with the life insurance policies, are held in a separate revocable trust for the purpose of paying the deferred compensation and the deferred benefit.

the net unrealized amounts presented above excluded the remaining net unrealized losses related to reclassifications of securities available for sale to securities held to maturity. these unrealized losses related to reclassifications totaled $303 million, or $189 million after-tax, and $523 million, or $317 million after-tax, as of december 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, or oci. refer to note 12 to the consolidated financial statements included under item 8. the decline in these remaining after-tax unrealized losses related to reclassifications from december 31, 2010 to december 31, 2011 resulted primarily from amortization. we conduct periodic reviews of individual securities to assess whether other-than-temporary impairment exists. to the extent that other-than-temporary impairment is identified, the impairment is broken into a credit component and a non-credit component. the credit component is recorded in our consolidated statement of income, and the non-credit component is recorded in oci to the extent that we do not intend to sell the security. our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment involves an evaluation, more fully described in note 3, of economic and security-specific factors. such factors are based on estimates, derived by management, which contemplate current market conditions and security-specific performance. to the extent that market conditions are worse than management 2019s expectations, other-than-temporary impairment could increase, in particular, the credit component that would be recorded in our consolidated statement of income. given the exposure of our investment securities portfolio, particularly mortgage- and asset-backed securities, to residential mortgage and other consumer credit risks, the performance of the u.s. housing market is a significant driver of the portfolio 2019s credit performance. as such, our assessment of other-than-temporary impairment relies to a significant extent on our estimates of trends in national housing prices. generally, indices that measure trends in national housing prices are published in arrears. as of september 30, 2011, national housing prices, according to the case-shiller national home price index, had declined by approximately 31.3% (31.3%) peak-to-current. overall, management 2019s expectation, for purposes of its evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment as of december 31, 2011, was that housing prices would decline by approximately 35% (35%) peak-to-trough. the performance of certain mortgage products and vintages of securities continues to deteriorate. in addition, management continues to believe that housing prices will decline further as indicated above. the combination of these factors has led to an increase in management 2019s overall loss expectations. our investment portfolio continues to be sensitive to management 2019s estimates of future cumulative losses. ultimately, other-than- temporary impairment is based on specific cusip-level detailed analysis of the unique characteristics of each security. in addition, we perform sensitivity analysis across each significant product type within the non-agency u.s. residential mortgage-backed portfolio. we estimate, for example, that other-than-temporary impairment of the investment portfolio could increase by approximately $10 million to $50 million, if national housing prices were to decline by 37% (37%) to 39% (39%) peak-to-trough, compared to management 2019s expectation of 35% (35%) described above. this sensitivity estimate is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of housing prices and the timing of defaults. to the extent that such factors differ substantially from management 2019s current expectations, resulting loss estimates may differ materially from those stated. excluding the securities for which other-than-temporary impairment was recorded in 2011, management considers the aggregate decline in fair value of the remaining.

2018 | 3000000 | 2.61
if the national u.s. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the department of energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty. if the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counterparty. the fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). the aggregate fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges as of december 31, 2016 and 2015 were current liabilities of $2.7 million and $37.8 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. the ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in a gain of $0.8 million for the year ended december 31, 2016, and a loss of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended december 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and have been recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. total gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for fuel hedges (the effective portion) was $20.7 million, $(2.0) million and $(24.2) million, for the years ended december 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. we classify cash inflows and outflows from our fuel hedges within operating activities in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows. recycling commodity hedges revenue from the sale of recycled commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated containers and old newsprint. from time to time we use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. during 2016, we entered into multiple agreements related to the forecasted occ sales. the agreements qualified for, and were designated as, effective hedges of changes in the prices of certain forecasted recycling commodity sales (commodity hedges). we entered into costless collar agreements on forecasted sales of occ. the agreements involve combining a purchased put option giving us the right to sell occ at an established floor strike price with a written call option obligating us to deliver occ at an established cap strike price. the puts and calls have the same settlement dates, are net settled in cash on such dates and have the same terms to expiration. the contemporaneous combination of options resulted in no net premium for us and represents costless collars. under these agreements, we will make or receive no payments as long as the settlement price is between the floor price and cap price; however, if the settlement price is above the cap, we will pay the counterparty an amount equal to the excess of the settlement price over the cap times the monthly volumes hedged. if the settlement price is below the floor, the counterparty will pay us the deficit of the settlement price below the floor times the monthly volumes hedged. the objective of these agreements is to reduce variability of cash flows for forecasted sales of occ between two designated strike prices..

growth as a result of retail share gains. in the cigarette category, marlboro's 2012 retail share performance continued to benefit from the brand-building initiatives supporting marlboro's new architecture. marlboro's retail share for 2012 increased 0.6 share points versus 2011 to 42.6% (42.6%). in january 2013, pm usa expanded distribution of marlboro southern cut nationally. marlboro southern cut is part of the marlboro gold family. pm usa's 2012 retail share increased 0.8 share points versus 2011, reflecting retail share gains by marlboro and by l&m in discount. these gains were partially offset by share losses on other portfolio brands. in the machine-made large cigars category, black & mild's retail share for 2012 increased 0.5 share points. the brand benefited from new untipped cigarillo varieties that were introduced in 2011, black & mild seasonal offerings and the 2012 third-quarter introduction of black & mild jazz untipped cigarillos into select geographies. in december 2012, middleton announced plans to launch nationally black & mild jazz cigars in both plastic tip and wood tip in the first quarter of 2013. the following discussion compares smokeable products segment results for the year ended december 31, 2011 with the year ended december 31, 2010. net revenues, which include excise taxes billed to customers, decreased $221 million (1.0% (1.0%)) due to lower shipment volume ($1051 million), partially offset by higher net pricing ($830 million), which includes higher promotional investments. operating companies income increased $119 million (2.1% (2.1%)), due primarily to higher net pricing ($831 million), which includes higher promotional investments, marketing, administration, and research savings reflecting cost reduction initiatives ($198 million) and 2010 implementation costs related to the closure of the cabarrus, north carolina manufacturing facility ($75 million), partially offset by lower volume ($527 million), higher asset impairment and exit costs due primarily to the 2011 cost reduction program ($158 million), higher per unit settlement charges ($120 million), higher charges related to tobacco and health judgments ($87 million) and higher fda user fees ($73 million). for 2011, total smokeable products shipment volume decreased 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010. pm usa's reported domestic cigarettes shipment volume declined 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010 due primarily to retail share losses and one less shipping day, partially offset by changes in trade inventories. after adjusting for changes in trade inventories and one less shipping day, pm usa's 2011 domestic cigarette shipment volume was estimated to be down approximately 4% (4%) versus 2010. pm usa believes that total cigarette category volume for 2011 decreased approximately 3.5% (3.5%) versus 2010, when adjusted primarily for changes in trade inventories and one less shipping day. pm usa's total premium brands (marlboro and other premium brands) shipment volume decreased 4.3% (4.3%). marlboro's shipment volume decreased 3.8% (3.8%) versus 2010. in the discount brands, pm usa's shipment volume decreased 0.9% (0.9%). pm usa's shipments of

unchanged versus 2010. for 2011, pm usa's retail share of the cigarette category declined 0.8 share points to 49.0% (49.0%) due primarily to retail share losses on marlboro. marlboro's 2011 retail share decreased 0.6 share points. in 2010, marlboro delivered record full-year retail share results that were achieved at lower margin levels. middleton retained a leading share of the tipped cigarillo segment of the machine-made large cigars category, with a retail share of approximately 84% (84%) in 2011. for 2011, middleton's retail share of the cigar category increased 0.3 share points to 29.7% (29.7%) versus 2010. black & mild's 2011 retail share increased 0.5 share points, as the brand benefited from new product introductions. during the fourth quarter of 2011, middleton broadened its untipped cigarillo portfolio with new aroma wrap 2122 foil pouch packaging that accompanied the national introduction of black & mild wine. this new fourth- quarter packaging roll-out also included black & mild sweets and classic varieties. during the second quarter of 2011, middleton entered into a contract manufacturing arrangement to source the production of a portion of its cigars overseas. middleton entered into this arrangement to access additional production capacity in an uncertain competitive environment and an excise tax environment that potentially benefits imported large cigars over those manufactured domestically. smokeless products segment the smokeless products segment's operating companies income grew during 2012 driven by higher pricing, copenhagen and

year | gallons hedged | weighted average contractprice per gallon
2016 | 27000000 | $3.57
2017 | 12000000 | 2.92
if the national u.s. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the department of energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty. if the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counterparty. the fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). the aggregate fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges as of december 31, 2015 and 2014 were current liabilities of $37.8 million and $34.4 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. the ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in a loss of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended december 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively, and a gain of less than $0.1 million for the year ended december 31, 2013, and have been recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. total (loss) gain recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income for fuel hedges (the effective portion) was $(2.0) million, $(24.2) million and $2.4 million, for the years ended december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. recycling commodity hedges revenue from the sale of recycled commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated cardboard and old newspaper. from time to time we use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. we had no outstanding recycling commodity hedges as of december 31, 2015 and 2014. no amounts were recognized in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income for the ineffective portion of the changes in fair values during the years ended december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. total gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income for recycling commodity hedges (the effective portion) was $0.1 million and $(0.1) million for the years ended december 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. no amount was recognized in other comprehensive income for 2015. fair value measurements in measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (level 3). we also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate..
what was the ratio of the 2016 hedged gallons to 2017? 2.25
what was the change in the aggregate fair values of outstanding fuel hedge between 2014 and 2015? 3.4
so what was the percentage change during this time? | 0.09884 |

in the table above: 2030 derivative assets are shown as positive amounts and derivative liabilities are shown as negative amounts. 2030 ranges represent the significant unobservable inputs that were used in the valuation of each type of derivative. 2030 averages represent the arithmetic average of the inputs and are not weighted by the relative fair value or notional of the respective financial instruments. an average greater than the median indicates that the majority of inputs are below the average. for example, the difference between the average and the median for credit spreads and oil spread inputs indicates that the majority of the inputs fall in the lower end of the range. 2030 the ranges, averages and medians of these inputs are not representative of the appropriate inputs to use when calculating the fair value of any one derivative. for example, the highest correlation for interest rate derivatives is appropriate for valuing a specific interest rate derivative but may not be appropriate for valuing any other interest rate derivative. accordingly, the ranges of inputs do not represent uncertainty in, or possible ranges of, fair value measurements of the firm 2019s level 3 derivatives. 2030 interest rates, currencies and equities derivatives are valued using option pricing models, credit derivatives are valued using option pricing, correlation and discounted cash flow models, and commodities derivatives are valued using option pricing and discounted cash flow models. 2030 the fair value of any one instrument may be determined using multiple valuation techniques. for example, option pricing models and discounted cash flows models are typically used together to determine fair value. therefore, the level 3 balance encompasses both of these techniques. 2030 correlation within currencies and equities includes cross- product type correlation. 2030 natural gas spread represents the spread per million british thermal units of natural gas. 2030 oil spread represents the spread per barrel of oil and refined products. range of significant unobservable inputs the following is information about the ranges of significant unobservable inputs used to value the firm 2019s level 3 derivative instruments: 2030 correlation. ranges for correlation cover a variety of underliers both within one product type (e.g., equity index and equity single stock names) and across product types (e.g., correlation of an interest rate and a currency), as well as across regions. generally, cross-product type correlation inputs are used to value more complex instruments and are lower than correlation inputs on assets within the same derivative product type. 2030 volatility. ranges for volatility cover numerous underliers across a variety of markets, maturities and strike prices. for example, volatility of equity indices is generally lower than volatility of single stocks. 2030 credit spreads, upfront credit points and recovery rates. the ranges for credit spreads, upfront credit points and recovery rates cover a variety of underliers (index and single names), regions, sectors, maturities and credit qualities (high-yield and investment-grade). the broad range of this population gives rise to the width of the ranges of significant unobservable inputs. 130 goldman sachs 2017 form 10-k.

although we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize some of the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on future cash flows, we cannot be assured that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations. inflation inflationary factors such as increases in the cost of our product and overhead costs may adversely affect our operating results. although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs..

(a) additions include acquisitions. (b) during 2011, the company reclassified the goodwill related to the business units held for sale. subsequent to the reclassification, the company recognized a charge for those business units expected to be divested at a loss; the charge included a write-down of goodwill of $13 million. (c) other principally includes the effect of foreign currency translation and purchase price adjustments related to prior-year acquisitions. in the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2011, the company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. the impairment test in 2012 indicated there was no impairment of goodwill for any of the company 2019s reporting units. the impairment test in 2011 indicated that goodwill recorded for certain of the company 2019s reporting units was impaired. the company recognized the non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges, in continuing operations, for goodwill of $486 million ($330 million, after tax) for 2011. in 2011, the pre-tax impairment charge in the cabinets and related products segment relates to the european ready-to- assemble cabinet manufacturer and reflects the declining demand for certain products, as well as decreased operating margins. the pre-tax impairment charge in the decorative architectural products segment relates to the builders 2019 hardware business and reflects increasing competitive conditions for that business. the pre-tax impairment charge in the other specialty products segment relates to the north american window and door business and reflects the continuing weak level of new home construction activity in the western u.s., the reduced levels of repair and remodel activity and the expectation that recovery in these segments will be modestly slower than anticipated. the company then assessed the long-lived assets associated with these business units and determined no impairment was necessary at december 31, 2011. other indefinite-lived intangible assets were $132 million and $174 million at december 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. in 2012 and 2011, the impairment test indicated that the registered trademark for a north american business unit in the other specialty products segment and the registered trademark for a north american business unit in the plumbing products segment (2011 only) were impaired due to changes in the long-term outlook for the business units. the company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for other indefinite- lived intangible assets of $42 million ($27 million, after tax) and $8 million ($5 million, after tax) in 2012 and 2011, respectively. in 2010, the company recognized non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges for other indefinite-lived intangible assets of $10 million ($6 million after tax) related to the installation and other services segment ($9 million pre-tax) and the plumbing products segment ($1 million pre-tax)..

- | 2018 | 2017
pension plans | 1.61% (1.61%) | 1.51% (1.51%)
postretirement plans | 3.97% (3.97%) | 3.79% (3.79%)
we anticipate that assumption changes will increase 2019 pre-tax pension and postretirement expense to approximately $205 million as compared with approximately $160 million in 2018, excluding amounts related to employee severance and early retirement programs. the anticipated increase is primarily due to higher amortization out of other comprehensive earnings for unrecognized actuarial gains/ losses of $14 million, coupled with lower return on assets of $16 million, higher interest and service cost of $12 million and $4 million respectively, partially offset by other movements of $1 million. weighted-average expected rate of return and discount rate assumptions have a significant effect on the amount of expense reported for the employee benefit plans. a fifty-basis-point decrease in our discount rate would increase our 2019 pension and postretirement expense by approximately $50 million, and a fifty-basis-point increase in our discount rate would decrease our 2019 pension and postretirement.
what is the pre-tax pension and postretirement expense in 2019? | 205.0 |

(1) amounts included represent firm, non-cancelable commitments. debt obligations: at december 31, 2006, the company's long-term debt obligations, including current maturities and unamortized discount and issue costs, totaled $4.1 billion, as compared to $4.0 billion at december 31, 2005. a table of all outstanding long-term debt securities can be found in note 4, ""debt and credit facilities'' to the company's consolidated financial statements. lease obligations: the company owns most of its major facilities, but does lease certain office, factory and warehouse space, land, and information technology and other equipment under principally non-cancelable operating leases. at december 31, 2006, future minimum lease obligations, net of minimum sublease rentals, totaled $2.3 billion. rental expense, net of sublease income, was $241 million in 2006, $250 million in 2005 and $205 million in 2004. purchase obligations: the company has entered into agreements for the purchase of inventory, license of software, promotional agreements, and research and development agreements which are firm commitments and are not cancelable. the longest of these agreements extends through 2015. total payments expected to be made under these agreements total $1.0 billion. commitments under other long-term agreements: the company has entered into certain long-term agreements to purchase software, components, supplies and materials from suppliers. most of the agreements extend for periods of one to three years (three to five years for software). however, generally these agreements do not obligate the company to make any purchases, and many permit the company to terminate the agreement with advance notice (usually ranging from 60 to 180 days). if the company were to terminate these agreements, it generally would be liable for certain termination charges, typically based on work performed and supplier on-hand inventory and raw materials attributable to canceled orders. the company's liability would only arise in the event it terminates the agreements for reasons other than ""cause.'' the company also enters into a number of arrangements for the sourcing of supplies and materials with minimum purchase commitments and take-or-pay obligations. the majority of the minimum purchase obligations under these contracts are over the life of the contract as opposed to a year-by-year take-or-pay. if these agreements were terminated at december 31, 2006, the company's obligation would not have been significant. the company does not anticipate the cancellation of any of these agreements in the future. subsequent to the end of 2006, the company entered into take-or-pay arrangements with suppliers through may 2009 with minimum purchase obligations of $2.2 billion during that period. the company estimates purchases during that period that exceed the minimum obligations. the company outsources certain corporate functions, such as benefit administration and information technology-related services. these contracts are expected to expire in 2013. the total remaining payments under these contracts are approximately $1.3 billion over the remaining seven years; however, these contracts can be%%transmsg*** transmitting job: c11830 pcn: 055000000 ***%%pcmsg| |00030|yes|no|02/28/2007 13:05|0|1|page is valid, no graphics -- color: n|.

operating activities higher net income in 2014 increased cash provided by operating activities compared to 2013, despite higher income tax payments. 2014 income tax payments were higher than 2013 primarily due to higher income, but also because we paid taxes previously deferred by bonus depreciation (discussed below). higher net income in 2013 increased cash provided by operating activities compared to 2012. in addition, we made payments in 2012 for past wages as a result of national labor negotiations, which reduced cash provided by operating activities in 2012. lower tax benefits from bonus depreciation (as discussed below) partially offset the increases. federal tax law provided for 100% (100%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2011 and 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for qualified investments made during 2012-2013. as a result, the company deferred a substantial portion of its 2011-2013 income tax expense, contributing to the positive operating cash flow in those years. congress extended 50% (50%) bonus depreciation for 2014, but this extension occurred in december and did not have a significant benefit on our income tax payments during 2014. investing activities higher capital investments, including the early buyout of the long-term operating lease of our headquarters building for approximately $261 million, drove the increase in cash used in investing activities compared to 2013. significant investments also were made for new locomotives, freight cars and containers, and capacity and commercial facility projects. capital investments in 2014 also included $99 million for the early buyout of locomotives and freight cars under long-term operating leases, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions. lower capital investments in locomotives and freight cars in 2013 drove the decrease in cash used in investing activities compared to 2012. included in capital investments in 2012 was $75 million for the early buyout of 165 locomotives under long-term operating and capital leases during the first quarter of 2012, which we exercised due to favorable economic terms and market conditions..

the deferred fuel cost revisions variance resulted from a revised unbilled sales pricing estimate made in december 2002 and a further revision made in the first quarter of 2003 to more closely align the fuel component of that pricing with expected recoverable fuel costs. the asset retirement obligation variance was due to the implementation of sfas 143, "accounting for asset retirement obligations" adopted in january 2003. see "critical accounting estimates" for more details on sfas 143. the increase was offset by decommissioning expense and had no effect on net income. the volume variance was due to a decrease in electricity usage in the service territory. billed usage decreased 1868 gwh in the industrial sector including the loss of a large industrial customer to cogeneration..

(1) service concession asset expenditures excluded from proportional free cash flow non-gaap metric. (2) the proportional adjustment factor, proportional maintenance capital expenditures (net of reinsurance proceeds) and proportional non-recoverable environmental capital expenditures are calculated by multiplying the percentage owned by noncontrolling interests for each entity by its corresponding consolidated cash flow metric and are totaled to the resulting figures. for example, parent company a owns 20% (20%) of subsidiary company b, a consolidated subsidiary. thus, subsidiary company b has an 80% (80%) noncontrolling interest. assuming a consolidated net cash flow from operating activities of $100 from subsidiary b, the proportional adjustment factor for subsidiary b would equal $80 (or $100 x 80% (80%)). the company calculates the proportional adjustment factor for each consolidated business in this manner and then sums these amounts to determine the total proportional adjustment factor used in the reconciliation. the proportional adjustment factor may differ from the proportion of income attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of (a) non-cash items which impact income but not cash and (b) aes' ownership interest in the subsidiary where such items occur. (3) includes proportional adjustment amount for service concession asset expenditures of $84 million for the year ended december 31, 2015. the company adopted service concession accounting effective january 1, 2015. (4) excludes ipl's proportional recoverable environmental capital expenditures of $205 million, $163 million and $110 million for the years december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively..

southern cut is part of the marlboro gold family. pm usa's 2012 retail share increased 0.8 share points versus 2011, reflecting retail share gains by marlboro and by l&m in discount. these gains were partially offset by share losses on other portfolio brands. in the machine-made large cigars category, black & mild's retail share for 2012 increased 0.5 share points. the brand benefited from new untipped cigarillo varieties that were introduced in 2011, black & mild seasonal offerings and the 2012 third-quarter introduction of black & mild jazz untipped cigarillos into select geographies. in december 2012, middleton announced plans to launch nationally black & mild jazz cigars in both plastic tip and wood tip in the first quarter of 2013. the following discussion compares smokeable

due to lower shipment volume ($1051 million), partially offset by higher net pricing ($830 million), which includes higher promotional investments. operating companies income increased $119 million (2.1% (2.1%)), due primarily to higher net pricing ($831 million), which includes higher promotional investments, marketing, administration, and research savings reflecting cost reduction initiatives ($198 million) and 2010 implementation costs related to the closure of the cabarrus, north carolina manufacturing facility ($75 million), partially offset by lower volume ($527 million), higher asset impairment and exit costs due primarily to the 2011 cost reduction program ($158 million), higher per unit settlement charges ($120 million), higher charges related to tobacco and health judgments ($87 million) and higher fda user fees ($73 million). for 2011, total smokeable products shipment volume decreased 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010. pm usa's reported domestic cigarettes shipment volume declined 4.0% (4.0%) versus 2010 due primarily to retail share losses and one less shipping day, partially offset by changes in trade inventories. after adjusting for changes in trade inventories and

unchanged versus 2010. for 2011, pm usa's retail share of the cigarette category declined 0.8 share points to 49.0% (49.0%) due primarily to retail share losses on marlboro. marlboro's 2011 retail share decreased 0.6 share points. in 2010, marlboro delivered record full-year retail share results that were achieved at lower margin levels. middleton retained a leading share of the tipped cigarillo segment of the machine-made large cigars category, with a retail share of approximately 84% (84%) in 2011. for 2011, middleton's retail share of the cigar category increased 0.3 share points to 29.7% (29.7%) versus 2010. black & mild's 2011 retail share increased 0.5 share points, as the brand benefited from new product introductions. during the fourth quarter of 2011, middleton broadened its untipped cigarillo portfolio with new aroma wrap 2122 foil pouch packaging that accompanied the national introduction of black & mild wine. this new fourth- quarter packaging roll-out also included black & mild sweets and classic varieties. during the second quarter of 2011, middleton entered into a contract manufacturing arrangement to source the production of a portion of its cigars overseas. middleton entered into this arrangement to access additional production capacity in an uncertain competitive environment and an excise tax environment that potentially benefits imported

(1) service concession asset expenditures excluded from proportional free cash flow non-gaap metric. (2) the proportional adjustment factor, proportional maintenance capital expenditures (net of reinsurance proceeds) and proportional non-recoverable environmental capital expenditures are calculated by multiplying the percentage owned by noncontrolling interests for each entity by its corresponding consolidated cash flow metric and are totaled to the resulting figures. for example, parent company a owns 20% (20%) of subsidiary company b, a consolidated subsidiary. thus, subsidiary company b has an 80% (80%) noncontrolling interest. assuming a consolidated net cash flow from operating activities of $100 from subsidiary b, the proportional adjustment factor for subsidiary b would equal $80 (or $100 x 80% (80%)). the company calculates the proportional adjustment factor for each consolidated business in this manner and then sums these amounts to determine the total proportional adjustment factor used in the reconciliation. the proportional adjustment factor may differ from the proportion of income attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of (a) non-cash items which impact income but not cash and (b) aes' ownership interest in the subsidiary where such items occur. (3) includes proportional adjustment amount for service concession asset expenditures of $84 million for the year ended december 31, 2015. the company adopted service concession accounting effective january 1, 2015.

if the national u.s. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published by the department of energy exceeds the contract price per gallon, we receive the difference between the average price and the contract price (multiplied by the notional gallons) from the counterparty. if the average price is less than the contract price per gallon, we pay the difference to the counterparty. the fair values of our fuel hedges are determined using standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy). the aggregate fair values of our outstanding fuel hedges as of december 31, 2015 and 2014 were current liabilities of $37.8 million and $34.4 million, respectively, and have been recorded in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. the ineffective portions of the changes in fair values resulted in a loss of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the years ended december 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively, and a gain of less than $0.1 million for the year ended december 31, 2013, and have been recorded in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income. total (loss) gain recognized in other comprehensive (loss) income for fuel hedges (the effective portion) was $(2.0) million, $(24.2) million and $2.4 million, for the years ended december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. recycling commodity hedges revenue from the sale of recycled commodities is primarily from sales of old corrugated cardboard and old newspaper. from time to time we use derivative instruments such as swaps and costless collars designated as cash flow hedges to manage our exposure to changes in prices of these commodities. we had no outstanding recycling commodity hedges as of december 31, 2015 and 2014. no amounts were recognized in other income, net in our consolidated statements of income for the ineffective portion of the changes in fair values during the years ended december 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013. total gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income for recycling commodity hedges (the effective portion) was $0.1 million and $(0.1) million for the years ended december 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. no amount was recognized in other comprehensive income for 2015. fair value measurements in measuring fair values of assets and liabilities, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (level 1) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (level 3). we also use market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk when appropriate..

- | 2018 | 2017
pension plans | 1.61% (1.61%) | 1.51% (1.51%)
postretirement plans | 3.97% (3.97%) | 3.79% (3.79%)
we anticipate that assumption changes will increase 2019 pre-tax pension and postretirement expense to approximately $205 million as compared with approximately $160 million in 2018, excluding amounts related to employee severance and early retirement programs. the anticipated increase is primarily due to higher amortization out of other comprehensive earnings for unrecognized actuarial gains/ losses of $14 million, coupled with lower return on assets of $16 million, higher interest and service cost of $12 million and $4 million respectively, partially offset by other movements of $1 million. weighted-average expected rate of return and discount rate assumptions have a significant effect on the amount of expense reported for the employee benefit plans. a fifty-basis-point decrease in our discount rate would increase our 2019 pension and postretirement expense by approximately $50 million, and a fifty-basis-point increase in our discount rate would decrease our 2019 pension and postretirement.
what was the weighted average discount rate for postretirement plans in 2018? 3.97
and what was it in 2017? 3.79
what was, then, the change over the year? 0.18
and how much does this change represent in relation to the 2017 weighted average discount rate, in percentage? | 0.04749 |

(a) the majority of our facilities are not explicitly rated by the rating agencies. all facilities are structured to meet rating agency standards for applicable rating levels. we evaluated the design of market street, its capital structure, the note, and relationships among the variable interest holders. based on this analysis and under accounting guidance effective during 2009 and 2008, we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore the assets and liabilities of market street are not included on our consolidated balance sheet. we considered changes to the variable interest holders (such as new expected loss note investors and changes to program- level credit enhancement providers), terms of expected loss notes, and new types of risks related to market street as reconsideration events. we reviewed the activities of market street on at least a quarterly basis to determine if a reconsideration event has occurred. tax credit investments we make certain equity investments in various limited partnerships or limited liability companies (llcs) that sponsor affordable housing projects utilizing the low income housing tax credit (lihtc) pursuant to sections 42 and 47 of the internal revenue code. the purpose of these investments is to achieve a satisfactory return on capital, to facilitate the sale of additional affordable housing product offerings and to assist us in achieving goals associated with the community reinvestment act. the primary activities of the investments include the identification, development and operation of multi-family housing that is leased to qualifying residential tenants. generally, these types of investments are funded through a combination of debt and equity. we typically invest in these partnerships as a limited partner or non-managing member. also, we are a national syndicator of affordable housing equity (together with the investments described above, the 201clihtc investments 201d). in these syndication transactions, we create funds in which our subsidiaries are the general partner or managing member and sell limited partnership or non-managing member interests to third parties, and in some cases may also purchase a limited partnership or non-managing member interest in the fund. the purpose of this business is to generate income from the syndication of these funds, generate servicing fees by managing the funds, and earn tax credits to reduce our tax liability. general partner or managing member activities include selecting, evaluating, structuring, negotiating, and closing the fund investments in operating limited partnerships, as well as oversight of the ongoing operations of the fund portfolio. we evaluate our interests and third party interests in the limited partnerships/llcs in determining whether we are the primary beneficiary. the primary beneficiary determination is based on which party absorbs a majority of the variability. the primary sources of variability in lihtc investments are the tax credits, tax benefits due to passive losses on the investments and development and operating cash flows. we have consolidated lihtc investments in which we absorb a majority of the variability and thus are considered the primary beneficiary. the assets are primarily included in equity investments and other assets on our consolidated balance sheet with the liabilities classified in other liabilities and third party investors 2019 interests included in the equity section as noncontrolling interests. neither creditors nor equity investors in the lihtc investments have any recourse to our general credit. the consolidated aggregate assets and liabilities of these lihtc investments are provided in the consolidated vies 2013 pnc is primary beneficiary table and reflected in the 201cother 201d business segment. we also have lihtc investments in which we are not the primary beneficiary, but are considered to have a significant variable interest based on our interests in the partnership/llc. these investments are disclosed in the non-consolidated vies 2013 significant variable interests table. the table also reflects our maximum exposure to loss. our maximum exposure to loss is equal to our legally binding equity commitments adjusted for recorded impairment and partnership results. we use the equity and cost methods to account for our investment in these entities with the investments reflected in equity investments on our consolidated balance sheet. in addition, we increase our recognized investments and recognize a liability for all legally binding unfunded equity commitments. these liabilities are reflected in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. credit risk transfer transaction national city bank, (a former pnc subsidiary which merged into pnc bank, n.a. in november 2009) sponsored a special purpose entity (spe) and concurrently entered into a credit risk transfer agreement with an independent third party to mitigate credit losses on a pool of nonconforming mortgage loans originated by its former first franklin business unit. the spe was formed with a small equity contribution and was structured as a bankruptcy-remote entity so that its creditors have no recourse to us. in exchange for a perfected security interest in the cash flows of the nonconforming mortgage loans, the spe issued to us asset-backed securities in the form of senior, mezzanine, and subordinated equity notes. the spe was deemed to be a vie as its equity was not sufficient to finance its activities. we were determined to be the primary beneficiary of the spe as we would absorb the majority of the expected losses of the spe through our holding of the asset-backed securities. accordingly, this spe was consolidated

in 2007, we expect our total capital investments to be approximately $3.2 billion, which may include long- term leases. these investments will be used to maintain track and structures, continue capacity expansions on our main lines in constrained corridors, remove bottlenecks, upgrade and augment equipment to better meet customer needs, build and improve facilities and terminals, and develop and implement new technologies. we designed these investments to maintain infrastructure for safety, enhance customer service, promote growth, and improve operational fluidity. we expect to fund our 2007 cash capital investments through cash generated from operations, the sale or lease of various operating and non-operating properties, and cash on hand at december 31, 2006. we expect that these sources will continue to provide sufficient funds to meet our expected capital requirements for 2007. for the years ended december 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, our ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 4.4, 2.9, and 2.1, respectively. the increases in 2006 and 2005 were driven by higher net income. the ratio of earnings to fixed charges was computed on a consolidated basis. earnings represent income from continuing operations, less equity earnings net of distributions, plus fixed charges and income taxes. fixed charges represent interest charges, amortization of debt discount, and the estimated amount representing the interest portion of rental charges. see exhibit 12 for the calculation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges. financing activities credit facilities 2013 on december 31, 2006, we had $2 billion in revolving credit facilities available, including $1 billion under a five-year facility expiring in march 2009 and $1 billion under a five-year facility expiring in march 2010 (collectively, the "facilities"). the facilities are designated for general corporate purposes and support the issuance of commercial paper. neither of the facilities were drawn on in 2006. commitment fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated investment-grade borrowers. these facilities allow for borrowings at floating rates based on london interbank offered rates, plus a spread, depending upon our senior unsecured debt ratings. the facilities require the maintenance of a minimum net worth and a debt to net worth coverage ratio. at december 31, 2006, we were in compliance with these covenants. the facilities do not include any other financial restrictions, credit rating triggers (other than rating-dependent pricing), or any other provision that could require the posting of collateral. in addition to our revolving credit facilities, we had $150 million in uncommitted lines of credit available, including $75 million that expires in march 2007 and $75 million expiring in may 2007. neither of these lines of credit were used as of december 31, 2006. we must have equivalent credit available under our five-year facilities to draw on these $75 million lines. dividends 2013 on january 30, 2007, we increased the quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share, payable beginning on april 2, 2007, to shareholders of record on february 28, 2007. we expect to fund the increase in the quarterly dividend through cash generated from operations, the sale or lease of various operating and non-operating properties, and cash on hand at december 31, 2006. dividend restrictions 2013 we are subject to certain restrictions related to the payment of cash dividends to our shareholders due to minimum net worth requirements under our credit facilities. retained earnings available.
