During 2015 and 2014, we incurred charges of $4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to consulting fees associated with cost savings initiatives. During 2014, we incurred charges of $2 million related to tax adjustments for the 2011 Hill Hire acquisition. We reported the cumulative adjustment within “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. During 2013, we recognized a benefit of $2 million in “Miscellaneous income, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings from the recognition of the accumulated currency translation adjustment from an FMS foreign operation which substantially liquidated its net assets.
