Equity [Abstract] |
Equity | Equity Stock Repurchases On December 4, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of 50 million shares, which was approximately 18% of the total shares of our outstanding common stock at that time. In any period, share repurchase transactions could result in timing differences between the recognition of those repurchases and their settlement for cash. This could result in a difference between the cash used for financing activities related to common stock repurchased and the comparable change in equity. Share repurchases for the periods ended June 30 were as follows:
(in millions, except average price) | Three Months |  | Six Months
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2017 |  | 2016
Total number of shares purchased | 1.1 |  |  | 1.4 |  |  | 2.6 |  |  | 3.5 |
Average price paid per share 1 | $ | 137.49 |  |  | $ | 107.74 |  |  | $ | 133.01 |  |  | $ | 98.05 |
Total cash utilized 1 | $ | 145 |  |  | $ | 147 |  |  | $ | 346 |  |  | $ | 347 |
1 | In December of 2015, 0.3 million shares were repurchased for approximately $26 million, which settled in January of 2016. Cash used for financing activities only reflects those shares which settled during the six months ended June 30, 2016 resulting in $373 million of cash used to repurchase shares.
Our purchased shares may be used for general corporate purposes, including the issuance of shares for stock compensation plans and to offset the dilutive effect of the exercise of employee stock options. As of June 30, 2017, approximately 23.2 million shares remained available under the current share repurchase program which has no expiration date and purchases under this program may be made from time to time on the open market and in private transactions, depending on market conditions. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests The agreement with the minority partners that own 27% of our S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC joint venture contains redemption features whereby interests held by minority partners are redeemable either (i) at the option of the holder or (ii) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within our control. Specifically, under the terms of the operating agreement of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC, after December 31, 2017, CME Group and CME Group Index Services LLC ("CGIS") will have the right at any time to sell, and we are obligated to buy, at least 20% of their share in S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC. In addition, in the event there is a change of control of the Company, for the 15 days following a change in control, CME Group and CGIS will have the right to put their interest to us at the then fair value of CME Group's and CGIS' minority interest. If interests were to be redeemed under this agreement, we would generally be required to purchase the interest at fair value on the date of redemption. This interest is presented on the consolidated balance sheets outside of equity under the caption “Redeemable noncontrolling interest” with an initial value based on fair value for the portion attributable to the net assets we acquired, and based on our historical cost for the portion attributable to our S&P Index business. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interest each reporting period to its estimated redemption value, but never less than its initial fair value, considering a combination of an income and market valuation approach. Our income and market valuation approaches may incorporate Level 3 fair value measures for instances when observable inputs are not available, including assumptions related to expected future net cash flows, long-term growth rates, the timing and nature of tax attributes, and the redemption features. Any adjustments to the redemption value will impact retained income. Noncontrolling interests that do not contain such redemption features are presented in equity. Changes to redeemable noncontrolling interest during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:
(in millions) |
Balance as of December 31, 2016 | $ | 1,080 |
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest | 61 |
Distributions payable to noncontrolling interest | (36 | )
Redemption value adjustment | 2 |
Balance as of June 30, 2017 | $ | 1,107 |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss The following table summarizes the changes in the components of accumulated other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2017:
