_______________
(1)
Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries having non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated at exchange rates at the balance sheet dates and equity accounts are translated at historical spot rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the periods presented. The gains or losses resulting from translating foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
(2)
As of December 31, 2015, the Company does not have any after-tax components of accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.
(3)
These reclassifications include the amortization of actuarial loss to periodic pension cost of $2 million, $1 million and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to the general and administrative expenses line on the statement of operations.
Dividend Policy
The Company does not currently anticipate paying dividends on common stock. Any declaration and payment of future dividends to holders of the Company's common stock will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on many factors, including the Company's financial condition, earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applicable to the payment of dividends and other considerations that the Board of Directors deems relevant. Because Realogy Holdings is a holding company and has no direct operations, it will only be able to pay dividends from available cash on hand and any funds it receives from its subsidiaries. The terms of the Company's indebtedness restrict its subsidiaries from paying dividends to Realogy Holdings. The title insurance underwriter is subject to regulations that limit its ability to pay dividends or make loans or advances to the Company, principally to protect policyholders. Under Delaware law, dividends may be payable only out of surplus, which is net assets minus liabilities and capital or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. As a result, the Company may not pay dividends according to its policy or at all if, among other things, the Company does not have sufficient cash to pay the intended dividends, if the Company's financial performance does not achieve expected results or the terms of our indebtedness prohibit it.
