Stockholders' Equity Attributable to Parent [Abstract] |
STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST | STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST Stockholders' Equity Components of Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes: foreign currency translation adjustments; market value adjustments, which represent unrealized holding gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of taxes; net deferred loss on cash flow hedges represents deferred losses, net of taxes on interest rate related derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, net of amounts reclassified to interest expense (see Note 7); and other, net of taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the tax effects related to the deferred losses on cash flow hedges were not material. Foreign currency translation adjustments are not adjusted for income taxes since they relate to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Dividend Program During the first quarter of 2017, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per common share. During each of the first three quarters of 2016, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per common share. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.45 per common share. Share Repurchase Program As of March 31, 2017, $1.2 billion remained available under the Company’s share repurchase authorizations. The share repurchase authorization has no set expiration or termination date. Share Repurchases For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock for $150 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock for $115 million. Shares Reissued from Treasury Stock For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company reissued 0.9 million shares and 0.2 million shares, respectively, from treasury stock for employee benefit plans. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest In connection with the sale of an 18.9% noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary to UMass Memorial Medical Center ("UMass") on July 1, 2015, the Company granted UMass the right to require the Company to purchase all of its interest in the subsidiary at fair value commencing July 1, 2020. The subsidiary performs diagnostic information services in a defined territory within the state of Massachusetts. Since the redemption of the noncontrolling interest is outside of the Company's control, it has been presented outside of stockholders' equity at the greater of its carrying amount or its fair value. The Company will record changes in the fair value of the noncontrolling interest immediately as they occur. As of March 31, 2017, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was presented at its fair value.
