Operating profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was impacted by mark-to-market loss of $118 million on our pension and postretirement benefit plans related to the remeasurement of plan assets and liabilities recognized outside of a 10% corridor (allocated as follows—U.S. Domestic Package $62 million, International Package $44 million and Supply Chain & Freight $12 million). This loss reduced fourth quarter net income by $79 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.09. Operating profit for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 was impacted by two items, as follows:
• | A mark-to-market loss of $1.062 billion on our pension and postretirement benefit plans related to the remeasurement of plan assets and liabilities recognized outside of a 10% corridor (allocated as follows—U.S. Domestic Package $660 million, International Package $200 million, Supply Chain & Freight $202 million). This loss reduced net income by $670 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.74.
• | A pre-tax charge of $36 million associated with the remeasurement and settlement of postretirement health and welfare benefit obligations for certain employees covered by collective bargaining agreements (allocated as follows—U.S. Domestic Package $33 million, International Package $1 million, Supply Chain & Freight $2 million). This charge reduced net income by $22 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.02.
