[1] | The Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 on a prospective basis, related to the recognition of excess tax benefits to the income statement which were previously recorded in additional paid-in capital, effective January 1, 2016. This resulted in an additional diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 404,347, 456,352, 377,130 and 536,975 and recognition of excess tax benefits in the income tax provision of $10.6 million, zero, $1.8 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. As a result, net earnings per common share increased by $0.05 per share, zero, $0.01 per share and $0.04 per share for three months ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Refer to Note 2, “Recently Issued Accounting Standards” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
[2] | During the fourth quarter of 2015, adjustments were made to prior year provisions which resulted in an increase in earnings per share. Refer to Note 16 “Income Taxes” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
[3] | Certain amounts related to external payment terms were misclassified in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. The revision of this item resulted in a decrease in accounts payable and an increase in short-term borrowings in each year. Additionally, due to changes in the accounting treatment of a factoring agreement the Company reclassified amounts from cash and cash equivalents to other receivables for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. See Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under the heading “Reclassifications and Revisions” for further discussion of the revisions.
[4] | During the first quarter of 2015, the Company received the tax refund of $235.2 million related to the Settlement agreement payment. During the first quarter of 2014, we used $929.7 million of cash to fund the cash portion of the Settlement agreement and related accrued interest. We recorded an excess tax benefit of $46.2 million as an out-of-period adjustment in December 2015 and $37.7 million in December 2014 related to the 18 million shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the Settlement agreement. See Note 16 “Income Taxes” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of the out-of-period adjustment.
[5] | Interest payments in 2014 include $416.6 million related to the Settlement agreement.
[6] | Due to the ongoing challenging economic situation in Venezuela, the Company approved a program in the second quarter of 2016 to cease operations in the country. Refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards “ of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.
[7] | Depreciation and amortization by segment is as follows:
[8] | Includes share-based incentive compensation of $62.9 million in 2016, $61.2 million in 2015, and $54.1 million in 2014
[9] | This includes accelerated depreciation of non-strategic assets related to restructuring programs which were $0.6 million, $0.2 million and $2.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
[10] | Restructuring and other charges by segment were as follows:
[11] | Due to the ongoing challenging economic situation in Venezuela, the Company approved a program in the second quarter of 2016 to cease operations in the country. Refer to Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Standards” under the “Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation” section of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details
[12] | Other Special Items for the year ended December 31, 2016 primarily included a reduction in a non-income tax reserve following the completion of a governmental audit partially offset by legal fees associated with restructuring and acquisitions. Other Special Items for the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily included legal fees associated with restructuring and acquisitions. Other Special Items for the year ended December 31, 2014 primarily included legal fees associated with restructuring and acquisitions.

- Definition This item represents an other than temporary decline in value that has been recognized against an investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the investment represents the amount of the write down which is or was reflected in earnings. The written down value is a new cost basis with the adjusted value of the investment becoming its new carrying value subject to the equity accounting method. Evidence of a loss in value might include, but would not necessarily be limited to, absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. + References Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 323 -SubTopic 10 -Section 35 -Paragraph 32 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=64825282&loc=d3e32787-111569 + Details
