measures as of both december 2014 and december 2013 and may not be comparable to similar non-gaap measures used by other companies ( as of those dates ) . these estimated ratios are based on our current interpretation , expectations and understanding of the revised capital framework and may evolve as we discuss its interpretation and application with our regulators . see note 20 to the consolidated financial statements for information about our transitional capital ratios , which represent our binding ratios as of december 2014 . in the table above : 2030 the deduction for goodwill

intangible assets of $ 515 million and $ 671 million as of december 2014 and december 2013 , respectively , net of associated deferred tax liabilities of $ 964 million and $ 908 million as of december 2014 and december 2013 , respectively . 2030 the deduction for investments in nonconsolidated financial institutions represents the amount by which our investments in the capital of nonconsolidated financial institutions exceed certain prescribed thresholds . the decrease from december 2013 to december 2014 primarily reflects reductions in our fund investments . 2030 other adjustments primarily include the overfunded portion of our defined benefit pension plan obligation , net of associated deferred tax liabilities , and disallowed deferred tax assets , credit valuation adjustments on derivative liabilities and debt valuation adjustments , as well as other required credit risk-based deductions . supplementary leverage ratio the revised capital framework introduces a new supplementary leverage ratio for advanced approach banking organizations . under amendments to the revised capital framework , the u.s . federal bank regulatory agencies approved a final rule that implements the supplementary leverage ratio aligned with the definition of leverage established by the basel committee . the supplementary leverage ratio compares tier 1 capital to a measure of leverage exposure , defined as the sum of our quarterly average assets less certain deductions plus certain off-balance-sheet exposures , including a measure of derivatives exposures and commitments . the revised capital framework requires a minimum supplementary leverage ratio of 5.0% ( 5.0 % ) ( comprised of the minimum requirement of 3.0% ( 3.0 % ) and a 2.0% ( 2.0 % ) buffer ) for u.s . banks deemed to be g-sibs , effective on january 1 , 2018 . certain disclosures regarding the supplementary leverage ratio are required beginning in the first quarter of 2015 . as of december 2014 , our estimated supplementary leverage ratio was 5.0% ( 5.0 % ) , including tier 1 capital on a fully phased-in basis of $ 73.17 billion ( cet1 of $ 64.26 billion plus perpetual non-cumulative preferred stock of $ 9.20 billion less other adjustments of $ 290 million ) divided by total leverage exposure of $ 1.45 trillion ( total quarterly average assets of $ 873 billion plus adjustments of $ 579 billion , primarily comprised of off-balance-sheet exposure related to derivatives and commitments ) . we believe that the estimated supplementary leverage ratio is meaningful because it is a measure that we , our regulators and investors use to assess our ability to meet future regulatory capital requirements . the supplementary leverage ratio is a non-gaap measure and may not be comparable to similar non-gaap measures used by other companies . this estimated supplementary leverage ratio is based on our current interpretation and understanding of the u.s . federal bank regulatory agencies

compared to 2008 in 2009 , the segment 2019s net sales were $ 7.0 billion , a decrease of 13% ( 13 % ) compared to net sales of $ 8.1 billion in 2008 . the 13% ( 13 % ) decrease in net sales reflects a 21% ( 21 % ) decrease in net sales to the commercial enterprise market and a 10% ( 10 % ) decrease in net sales to the government and public safety market . the decrease in net sales to the commercial enterprise market reflects decreased net sales in all regions . the decrease in net sales to the government and public safety market was primarily driven by decreased net sales in emea ,

had operating earnings of $ 1.1 billion in 2009 , a decrease of 29% ( 29 % ) compared to operating earnings of $ 1.5 billion in 2008 . the decrease in operating earnings was primarily due to a decrease in gross margin , driven by the 13% ( 13 % ) decrease in net sales and an unfavorable product mix . also contributing to the decrease in operating earnings was an increase in reorganization of business charges , relating primarily to higher employee severance costs . these factors were partially offset by decreased sg&a expenses and r&d expenditures , primarily related to savings from cost-reduction initiatives . as a percentage of net sales in 2009 as compared 2008 , gross margin decreased and r&d expenditures and sg&a expenses increased . net sales in north america continued to comprise a significant portion of the segment 2019s business , accounting for approximately 58% ( 58 % ) of the segment 2019s net sales in 2009 , compared to approximately 57% ( 57 % ) in 2008 . the

the effect of asset allocations on funded status , future company contributions , and projected expenditures , including benefits . the company updates its asset allocations periodically . the company uses various analytics to determine the optimal asset mix and considers plan obligation characteristics , duration , liquidity characteristics , funding requirements , expected rates of return , regular rebalancing , and the distribution of returns . actual allocations to each asset class could vary from target allocations due to periodic investment strategy changes , short-term market value fluctuations , the length of time it takes to fully implement investment allocation positions , such as real estate and other alternative investments , and the timing of benefit payments and company contributions . taking into account the asset allocation ranges , the company determines the specific allocation of the master trust's investments within various asset classes . the master trust utilizes select investment strategies , which are executed through separate account or fund structures with external investment managers who demonstrate experience and expertise in the appropriate asset classes and styles . the selection of investment managers is done with careful evaluation of all aspects of performance and risk , demonstrated fiduciary responsibility , investment management

railroad industry is capital intensive . properties are carried at cost . provisions for depreciation are computed principally on the straight-line method based on estimated service lives of depreciable property . the lives are calculated using a separate composite annual percentage rate for each depreciable property group , based on the results of internal depreciation studies . we are required to submit a report on depreciation studies and proposed depreciation rates to the stb for review and approval every three years for equipment property and every six years for road property . the cost ( net of salvage ) of depreciable railroad property retired or replaced in the ordinary course of business is charged to accumulated depreciation , and no gain or loss is recognized . a gain or loss is recognized in other income for all other property upon disposition because the gain or loss is not part of rail operations . the cost of internally developed software is capitalized and amortized over a five-year period . significant capital spending in recent years increased the total value of our depreciable assets . cash capital spending totaled $ 2.2 billion for the year ended december 31 , 2006 . for the year ended december 31 , 2006 , depreciation expense was $ 1.2 billion . we use various methods to estimate useful lives for each group of depreciable property . due to the capital intensive nature of the business and the large base of depreciable assets , variances to those estimates could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements . if the estimated useful lives of all depreciable assets were increased by one year , annual depreciation expense would decrease by approximately $ 43 million . if the estimated useful lives of all assets to be depreciated were decreased by one year , annual depreciation expense would increase by approximately $ 45 million . income taxes 2013 as required under fasb statement no . 109 , accounting for

does not include costs associated with hurricanes katrina and rita ; and n an increase of $ 12 million due to a return to normal expense patterns in 2006 versus the deferral or capitalization of storm costs in 2005 . other operation and maintenance expenses increased for non- utility nuclear from $ 588 million in 2005 to $ 637 million in 2006 primarily due to the timing of refueling outages , increased benefit and insurance costs , and increased nrc fees . taxes other than income taxes taxes other than income taxes increased for the utility from $ 322 million in 2005 to $ 361 million in 2006 primarily due to an increase in city franchise taxes in arkansas due to a change in 2006 in the accounting for city franchise tax revenues as directed by the apsc . the change results in an increase in taxes other than income taxes with a corresponding increase in rider revenue , resulting in no effect on net income . also contributing to the increase was higher franchise tax expense at entergy gulf states , inc . as a result of higher gross revenues in 2006 and a customer refund in 2005 . other income other income increased for the utility from $ 111 million in 2005 to $ 156 million in 2006 primarily due to carrying charges recorded on storm restoration costs . other income increased for non-utility nuclear primarily due to miscellaneous income of $ 27 million ( $ 16.6 million net-of-tax ) resulting from a reduction in the decommissioning liability for a plant as a result of a revised decommissioning cost study and changes in assumptions regarding the timing of when decommissioning of a plant will begin . other income increased for parent & other primarily due to a gain related to its entergy-koch investment of approximately $ 55 million ( net-of-tax ) in the fourth quarter of 2006 . in 2004 , entergy-koch sold its energy trading and pipeline businesses to third parties . at that time , entergy received $ 862 million of the sales proceeds in the form of a cash distribution by entergy-koch . due to the november 2006 expiration of contingencies on the sale of entergy-koch 2019s trading business , and the corresponding release to entergy-koch of sales proceeds held in escrow , entergy received additional cash distributions of approximately $ 163 million during the fourth quarter of 2006 and recorded a gain of approximately $ 55 million ( net-of-tax ) . entergy expects future cash distributions upon liquidation of the partnership will be less than $ 35 million . interest charges interest charges increased for the utility and parent & other primarily due to additional borrowing to fund the significant storm restoration costs associated with hurricanes katrina and rita . discontinued operations in april 2006 , entergy sold the retail electric portion of the competitive retail services business operating in the electric reliability council of texas ( ercot ) region of texas , and now reports this portion of the business as a discontinued operation . earnings for 2005 were negatively affected by $ 44.8 million ( net-of-tax ) of discontinued operations due to the planned sale . this amount includes a net charge of $ 25.8 million ( net-of-tax ) related to the impairment reserve for the remaining net book value of the competitive retail services business 2019 information technology systems . results for 2006 include an $ 11.1 million gain ( net-of-tax ) on the sale of the retail electric portion of the competitive retail services business operating in the ercot region of texas . income taxes the effective income tax rates for 2006 and 2005 were 27.6% ( 27.6 % ) and 36.6% ( 36.6 % ) , respectively . the lower effective income tax rate in 2006 is primarily due to tax benefits , net of reserves , resulting from the tax capital loss recognized in connection with the liquidation of entergy power international holdings , entergy 2019s holding company for entergy-koch . also contributing to the lower rate for 2006 is an irs audit settlement that allowed entergy to release from its tax reserves all settled issues relating to 1996-1998 audit cycle . see note 3 to the financial statements for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate of 35.0% ( 35.0 % ) to the effective income tax rates , and for additional discussion regarding income taxes . liquidity and capital resources this section discusses entergy

capitalization is balanced between equity and debt , as shown in the following table . the increase in the debt to capital percentage from 2006 to 2007 is primarily the result of additional borrowings under entergy corporation 2019s revolving credit facility , along with a decrease in shareholders 2019 equity primarily due to repurchases of common stock . this increase in the debt to capital percentage is in line with entergy 2019s financial and risk management aspirations . the decrease in the debt to capital percentage from 2005 to 2006 is the result of an increase in shareholders 2019

value of good- will for the pullmantur reporting unit was $ 145.5 mil- lion and recognized an impairment charge of $ 319.2 million based on a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model further discussed below . this impair- ment charge was recognized in earnings during the fourth quarter of 2012 and is reported within impair- ment of pullmantur related assets within our consoli- dated statements of comprehensive income ( loss ) . during the fourth quarter of 2014 , we performed a qualitative assessment of whether it was more-likely- than-not that our royal caribbean international reporting unit 2019s fair value was less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impair- ment test . the qualitative analysis included assessing the impact of certain factors such as general economic conditions , limitations on accessing capital , changes in forecasted operating results , changes in fuel prices and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates . based on our qualitative assessment , we concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the estimated fair value of the royal caribbean international reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and thus , we did not pro- ceed to the two-step goodwill impairment test . no indicators of impairment exist primarily because the reporting unit 2019s fair value has consistently exceeded its carrying value by a significant margin , its financial performance has been solid in the face of mixed economic environments and forecasts of operating results generated by the reporting unit appear suffi- cient to support its carrying value . we also performed our annual impairment review of goodwill for pullmantur 2019s reporting unit during the fourth quarter of 2014 . we did not perform a quali- tative assessment but instead proceeded directly to the two-step goodwill impairment test . we estimated the fair value of the pullmantur reporting unit using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model . the principal assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model are projected operating results , weighted- average cost of capital , and terminal value . signifi- cantly impacting these assumptions are the transfer of vessels from our other cruise brands to pullmantur . the discounted cash flow model used our 2015 pro- jected operating results as a base . to that base , we added future years 2019 cash flows assuming multiple rev- enue and expense scenarios that reflect the impact of different global economic environments beyond 2015 on pullmantur 2019s reporting unit . we assigned a probability to each revenue and expense scenario . we discounted the projected cash flows using rates specific to pullmantur 2019s reporting unit based on its weighted-average cost of capital . based on the probability-weighted discounted cash flows , we deter- mined the fair value of the pullmantur reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately 52% ( 52 % ) resulting in no impairment to pullmantur 2019s goodwill . pullmantur is a brand targeted primarily at the spanish , portuguese and latin american markets , with an increasing focus on latin america . the persistent economic instability in these markets has created sig- nificant uncertainties in forecasting operating results and future cash flows used in our impairment analyses . we continue to monitor economic events in these markets for their potential impact on pullmantur 2019s business and valuation . further , the estimation of fair value utilizing discounted expected future cash flows includes numerous uncertainties which require our significant judgment when making assumptions of expected revenues , operating costs , marketing , sell- ing and administrative expenses , interest rates , ship additions and retirements as well as assumptions regarding the cruise vacation industry 2019s competitive environment and general economic and business conditions , among other factors . if there are changes to the projected future cash flows used in the impairment analyses , especially in net yields or if certain transfers of vessels from our other cruise brands to the pullmantur fleet do not take place , it is possible that an impairment charge of pullmantur 2019s reporting unit 2019s goodwill may be required . of these factors , the planned transfers of vessels to the pullmantur fleet is most significant to the projected future cash flows . if the transfers do not occur , we will likely fail step one of the impairment test . note 4 . intangible assets intangible assets are reported in

The answer may require mathematical calculation based on the data provided.\n\nmanagement 2019s discussion and analysis 126 jpmorgan chase & co./2014 annual report while useful as a current view of credit exposure , the net fair value of the derivative receivables does not capture the potential future variability of that credit exposure . to capture the potential future variability of credit exposure , the firm calculates , on a client-by-client basis , three measures of potential derivatives-related credit loss : peak , derivative risk equivalent ( 201cdre 201d ) , and average exposure ( 201cavg 201d ) . these measures all incorporate netting and collateral benefits , where applicable . peak exposure to a counterparty is an extreme measure of exposure calculated at a 97.5% ( 97.5 % ) confidence level . dre exposure is a measure that expresses the risk of derivative exposure on a basis intended to be equivalent to the risk of loan exposures . the measurement is done by equating the unexpected loss in a derivative counterparty exposure ( which takes into consideration both the loss volatility and the credit rating of the counterparty ) with the unexpected loss in a loan exposure ( which takes into consideration only the credit rating of the counterparty ) . dre is a less extreme measure of potential credit loss than peak and is the primary measure used by the firm for credit approval of derivative transactions . finally , avg is a measure of the expected fair value of the firm 2019s derivative receivables at future time periods , including the benefit of collateral . avg exposure over the total life of the derivative contract is used as the primary metric for pricing purposes and is used to calculate credit capital and the cva , as further described below . the three year avg exposure was $ 37.5 billion and $ 35.4 billion at december 31 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively , compared with derivative receivables , net of all collateral , of $ 59.4 billion and $ 51.3 billion at december 31 , 2014 and 2013 , respectively . the fair value of the firm 2019s derivative receivables incorporates an adjustment , the cva , to reflect the credit quality of counterparties . the cva is based on the firm 2019s avg to a counterparty and the counterparty 2019s credit spread in the credit derivatives market . the primary components of changes in cva are credit spreads , new deal activity or unwinds , and changes in the underlying market environment . the firm believes that active risk management is essential to controlling the dynamic credit risk in the derivatives portfolio . in addition , the firm 2019s risk management process takes into consideration the potential impact of wrong-way risk , which is broadly defined as the potential for increased correlation between the firm 2019s exposure to a counterparty ( avg ) and the counterparty 2019s credit quality . many factors may influence the nature and magnitude of these correlations over time . to the extent that these correlations are identified , the firm may adjust the cva associated with that counterparty 2019s avg . the firm risk manages exposure to changes in cva by entering into credit derivative transactions , as well as interest rate , foreign exchange , equity and commodity derivative transactions . the accompanying graph shows exposure profiles to the firm 2019s current derivatives portfolio over the next 10 years as calculated by the dre and avg metrics . the two measures generally show that exposure will decline after the first year , if no new trades are added to the portfolio . the following table summarizes the ratings profile by derivative counterparty of the firm 2019s derivative receivables , including credit derivatives , net of other liquid securities

The answer may require mathematical calculation based on the data provided.\n\nnote 9 . retirement plan we maintain a defined contribution pension plan covering full-time shoreside employees who have completed the minimum period of continuous service . annual contributions to the plan are based on fixed percentages of participants 2019 salaries and years of service , not to exceed certain maximums . pension cost was $ 13.9 million , $ 12.8 million and $ 12.2 million for the years ended december 31 , 2006 , 2005 and 2004 , respectively . note 10 . income taxes we and the majority of our subsidiaries are currently exempt from united states corporate tax on income from the international opera- tion of ships pursuant to section 883 of the internal revenue code . income tax expense related to our remaining subsidiaries was not significant for the years ended december 31 , 2006 , 2005 and 2004 . final regulations under section 883 were published on august 26 , 2003 , and were effective for the year ended december 31 , 2005 . these regulations confirmed that we qualify for the exemption provid- ed by section 883 , but also narrowed the scope of activities which are considered by the internal revenue service to be incidental to the international operation of ships . the activities listed in the regula- tions as not being incidental to the international operation of ships include income from the sale of air and other transportation such as transfers , shore excursions and pre and post cruise tours . to the extent the income from such activities is earned from sources within the united states , such income will be subject to united states taxa- tion . the application of these new regulations reduced our net income for the years ended december 31 , 2006 and december 31 , 2005 by approximately $ 6.3 million and $ 14.0 million , respectively . note 11 . financial instruments the estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows ( in

position 5856 8456 fuel swap agreements in a net payable position ( 20456 ) ( 78 ) the reported fair values are based on a variety of factors and assumptions . accordingly , the fair values may not represent actual values of the financial instruments that could have been realized as of december 31 , 2006 or 2005 , or that will be realized in the future and do not include expenses that could be incurred in an actual sale or settlement . our financial instruments are not held for trading or speculative purposes . our exposure under foreign currency contracts , interest rate and fuel swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing the contracts in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the contracts , all of which are currently our lending banks . to minimize this risk , we select counterparties with credit risks acceptable to us and we limit our exposure to an individual counterparty . furthermore , all foreign currency forward contracts are denominated in primary currencies . cash and cash equivalents the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments . long-term debt the fair values of our senior notes and senior debentures were esti- mated by obtaining quoted market prices . the fair values of all other debt were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on market rates available to us for similar debt with the same remaining maturities . foreign currency contracts the fair values of our foreign currency forward contracts were esti- mated using current market prices for similar instruments . our expo- sure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates to six ship construction contracts and forecasted transactions . we use foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates . as of december 31 , 2006 , we had foreign currency forward contracts in a notional amount of $ 3.8 billion maturing through 2009 . as of december 31 , 2006 , the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts related to the six ship construction contracts , which are designated as fair value hedges , was a net unrealized gain of approximately $ 106.3 mil- lion . at december 31 , 2005 , the fair value of our foreign currency for- ward contracts related to three ship construction contracts , designated as fair value hedges , was a net unrealized loss of approx- imately $ 103.4 million . the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts related to the other ship construction contract at december 31 , 2005 , which was designated as a cash flow hedge , was an unre- alized loss , of approximately $ 7.8 million . at december 31 , 2006 , approximately 11% ( 11 % ) of the aggregate cost of the ships was exposed to fluctuations in the euro exchange rate . r o y a l c a r i b b e a n c r u i s e s l t d . 3 5 notes to the consolidated financial

operating costs due to the purchase of the attala plant in january 2006 and the perryville plant coming online in july 2005 ; n an increase of $ 12 million related to storm reserves . this increase does not include costs associated with hurricanes katrina and rita ; and n an increase of $ 12 million due to a return to normal expense patterns in 2006 versus the deferral or capitalization of storm costs in 2005 . other operation and maintenance expenses increased for non- utility nuclear from $ 588 million in 2005 to $ 637 million in 2006 primarily due to the timing of refueling outages , increased benefit and insurance costs , and increased nrc fees . taxes other than income taxes taxes other than income taxes increased for the utility from $ 322 million in 2005 to $ 361 million in 2006 primarily due to an increase in city franchise taxes in arkansas due to a change in 2006 in the accounting for city franchise tax revenues as directed by the apsc . the change results in an increase in taxes other than income taxes with a corresponding increase in rider revenue , resulting in no effect on net income . also contributing to the increase was higher franchise tax expense at entergy gulf states , inc . as a result of higher gross revenues in 2006 and a customer refund in 2005 . other income other income increased for the utility from $ 111 million in 2005 to $ 156 million in 2006 primarily due to carrying charges recorded on storm restoration costs . other income increased for non-utility nuclear primarily due to miscellaneous income of $ 27 million ( $ 16.6 million net-of-tax ) resulting from a reduction in the decommissioning liability for a plant as a result of a revised decommissioning cost study and changes in assumptions regarding the timing of when decommissioning of a plant will begin . other income increased for parent & other primarily due to a gain related to its entergy-koch investment of approximately $ 55 million ( net-of-tax ) in the fourth quarter of 2006 . in 2004 , entergy-koch sold its energy trading and pipeline businesses to third parties . at that time , entergy received $ 862 million of the sales proceeds in the form of a cash distribution by entergy-koch . due to the november 2006 expiration of contingencies on the sale of entergy-koch 2019s trading business , and the corresponding release to entergy-koch of sales proceeds held in escrow , entergy received additional cash distributions of approximately $ 163 million during the fourth quarter of 2006 and recorded a gain of approximately $ 55 million ( net-of-tax ) . entergy expects future cash distributions upon liquidation of the partnership will be less than $ 35 million . interest charges interest charges increased for the utility and parent & other primarily due to additional borrowing to fund the significant storm restoration costs associated with hurricanes katrina and rita . discontinued operations in april 2006 , entergy sold the retail electric portion of the competitive retail services business operating in the electric reliability council of texas ( ercot ) region of texas , and now reports this portion of the business as a discontinued operation . earnings for 2005 were negatively affected by $ 44.8 million ( net-of-tax ) of discontinued operations due to the planned sale . this amount includes a net charge of $ 25.8 million ( net-of-tax ) related to the impairment reserve for the remaining net book value of the competitive retail services business 2019 information technology systems . results for 2006 include an $ 11.1 million gain ( net-of-tax ) on the sale of the retail electric portion of the competitive retail services business operating in the ercot region of texas . income taxes the effective income tax rates for 2006 and 2005 were 27.6% ( 27.6 % ) and 36.6% ( 36.6 % ) , respectively . the lower effective income tax rate in 2006 is primarily due to tax benefits , net of reserves , resulting from the tax capital loss recognized in connection with the liquidation of entergy power international holdings , entergy 2019s holding company for entergy-koch . also contributing to the lower rate for 2006 is an irs audit settlement that allowed entergy to release from its tax reserves all settled issues relating to 1996-1998 audit cycle . see note 3 to the financial statements for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate of 35.0% ( 35.0 % ) to the effective income tax rates , and for additional discussion regarding income taxes . liquidity and capital resources this section discusses entergy 2019s capital structure , capital spending plans and other uses of capital , sources of capital , and the cash flow activity presented in the cash flow statement . capital structure entergy 2019s capitalization is balanced between equity and debt , as shown in the following table . the increase in the debt to capital percentage from 2006 to 2007 is primarily the result of additional borrowings under entergy corporation 2019s revolving credit facility , along with a decrease in shareholders 2019 equity primarily due to repurchases of common stock . this increase in the debt to capital percentage is in line with entergy 2019s financial and risk management aspirations . the decrease in the debt to capital percentage from 2005 to 2006 is the result of an increase in shareholders 2019

for 2012 was $ 3.0 billion compared with $ 3.1 billion for 2011 . revenue growth of 8 percent and a decline in the provision for credit losses were more than offset by a 16 percent increase in noninterest expense in 2012 compared to 2011 . further detail is included in the net interest income , noninterest income , provision for credit losses and noninterest expense portions of this consolidated income statement review . net interest income table 2 : net interest income and net interest margin year ended december 31 dollars in millions 2012 2011 . <table

8700</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>net interest margin</td><td>3.94% ( 3.94 % )</td><td>3.92% ( 3.92 % )</td></tr></table> changes in net interest income and margin result from the interaction of the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and related yields , interest-bearing liabilities and related rates paid , and noninterest-bearing sources of funding . see the statistical information ( unaudited ) 2013 average consolidated balance sheet and net interest analysis and analysis of year-to-year changes in net interest income in item 8 of this report and the discussion of purchase accounting accretion of purchased impaired loans in the consolidated balance sheet review in this item 7 for additional information . the increase in net interest income in 2012 compared with 2011 was primarily due to the impact of the rbc bank ( usa ) acquisition , organic loan growth and lower funding costs . purchase accounting accretion remained stable at $ 1.1 billion in both periods . the net interest margin was 3.94% ( 3.94 % ) for 2012 and 3.92% ( 3.92 % ) for 2011 . the increase in the comparison was primarily due to a decrease in the weighted-average rate accrued on total interest- bearing liabilities of 29 basis points , largely offset by a 21 basis point decrease on the yield on total interest-earning assets . the decrease in the rate on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to the runoff of maturing retail certificates of deposit and the redemption of additional trust preferred and hybrid capital securities during 2012 , in addition to an increase in fhlb borrowings and commercial paper as lower-cost funding sources . the decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was primarily due to lower rates on new loan volume and lower yields on new securities in the current low rate environment . with respect to the first quarter of 2013 , we expect net interest income to decline by two to three percent compared to fourth quarter 2012 net interest income of $ 2.4 billion , due to a decrease in purchase accounting accretion of up to $ 50 to $ 60 million , including lower expected cash recoveries . for the full year 2013 , we expect net interest income to decrease compared with 2012 , assuming an expected decline in purchase accounting accretion of approximately $ 400 million , while core net interest income is expected to increase in the year-over-year comparison . we believe our net interest margin will come under pressure in 2013 , due to the expected decline in purchase accounting accretion and assuming that the current low rate environment continues . noninterest income noninterest income totaled $ 5.9 billion for 2012 and $ 5.6 billion for 2011 . the overall increase in the comparison was primarily due to an increase in residential mortgage loan sales revenue driven by higher loan origination volume , gains on sales of visa class b common shares and higher corporate service fees , largely offset by higher provision for residential mortgage repurchase obligations . asset management revenue , including blackrock , totaled $ 1.2 billion in 2012 compared with $ 1.1 billion in 2011 . this increase was primarily due to higher earnings from our blackrock investment . discretionary assets under management increased to $ 112 billion at december 31 , 2012 compared with $ 107 billion at december 31 , 2011 driven by stronger average equity markets , positive net flows and strong sales performance . for 2012 , consumer services fees were $ 1.1 billion compared with $ 1.2 billion in 2011 . the decline reflected the regulatory impact of lower interchange fees on debit card transactions partially offset by customer growth . as further discussed in the retail banking portion of the business segments review section of this item 7 , the dodd-frank limits on interchange rates were effective october 1 , 2011 and had a negative impact on revenue of approximately $ 314 million in 2012 and $ 75 million in 2011 . this impact was partially offset by higher volumes of merchant , customer credit card and debit card transactions and the impact of the rbc bank ( usa ) acquisition . corporate services revenue increased by $ .3 billion , or 30 percent , to $ 1.2 billion in 2012 compared with $ .9 billion in 2011 due to higher commercial mortgage servicing revenue and higher merger and acquisition advisory fees in 2012 . the major components of corporate services revenue are treasury management revenue , corporate finance fees , including revenue from capital markets-related products and services , and commercial mortgage servicing revenue , including commercial mortgage banking activities . see the product revenue portion of this consolidated income statement review for

2003 . sales price realizations in the united states averaged 4.4% ( 4.4 % ) higher in 2005 than in 2004 , and 4.6% ( 4.6 % ) higher than 2003 . favorable pricing momentum which began in 2004 carried over into the beginning of 2005 . demand , however , began to weaken across all grades as the year progressed , resulting in lower price realizations in the second and third quarters . however , prices stabilized as the year ended . total shipments for the year were 7.2% ( 7.2 % ) lower than in 2004 and 4.2% ( 4.2 % ) lower than in 2003 . to continue matching our productive capacity with customer demand , the business announced the perma- nent closure of three uncoated freesheet machines and took significant lack-of-order downtime during the period . demand showed some improvement toward the end of the year , bolstered by the introduction our new line of vision innovation paper products ( vip technologiestm ) , with improved brightness and white- ness . mill operations were favorable compared to last year , and the rebuild of the no . 1 machine at the east- over , south carolina mill was completed as planned in the fourth quarter . however , the favorable impacts of improved mill operations and lower overhead costs were more than offset by record high input costs for energy and wood and higher transportation costs compared to 2004 . the earnings decline in 2005 compared with 2003 was principally due to lower shipments , higher down- time and increased costs for wood , energy and trans- portation , partially offset by lower overhead costs and favorable mill operations . average sales price realizations for our european operations remained relatively stable during 2005 , but averaged 1% ( 1 % ) lower than in 2004 , and 6% ( 6 % ) below 2003 levels . sales volumes rose slightly , up 1% ( 1 % ) in 2005 com- pared with 2004 and 5% ( 5 % ) compared to 2003 . earnings were lower than in 2004 , reflecting higher wood and energy costs and a compression of margins due to un- favorable foreign currency exchange movements . earn- ings were also adversely affected by downtime related to the rebuild of three paper machines during the year . coated papers sales in the united states were $ 1.6 bil- lion in 2005 , compared with $ 1.4 billion in 2004 and $ 1.3 billion in 2003 . the business reported an operating profit in 2005 versus a small operating loss in 2004 . the earnings improvement was driven by higher average sales prices and improved mill operations . price realiza- tions in 2005 averaged 13% ( 13 % ) higher than 2004 . higher input costs for raw materials and energy partially offset the benefits from improved prices and operations . sales volumes were about 1% ( 1 % ) lower in 2005 versus 2004 . market pulp sales from our u.s . and european facilities totaled $ 757 million in 2005 compared with $ 661 mil- lion and $ 571 million in 2004 and 2003 , respectively . operating profits in 2005 were up 86% ( 86 % ) from 2004 . an operating loss had been reported in 2003 . higher aver- age prices and sales volumes , lower overhead costs and improved mill operations in 2005 more than offset in- creases in raw material , energy and chemical costs . u.s . softwood and hardwood pulp prices improved through the 2005 first and second quarters , then declined during the third quarter , but recovered somewhat toward year end . softwood pulp prices ended the year about 2% ( 2 % ) lower than 2004 , but were 15% ( 15 % ) higher than 2003 , while hardwood pulp prices ended the year about 15% ( 15 % ) higher than 2004 and 10% ( 10 % ) higher than 2003 . u.s . pulp sales volumes were 12% ( 12 % ) higher than in 2004 and 19% ( 19 % ) higher than in 2003 , reflecting increased global demand . euro- pean pulp volumes increased 15% ( 15 % ) and 2% ( 2 % ) compared with 2004 and 2003 , respectively , while average sales prices increased 4% ( 4 % ) and 11% ( 11 % ) compared with 2004 and 2003 , respectively . brazilian paper sales were $ 684 million in 2005 com- pared with $ 592 million in 2004 and $ 540 million in 2003 . sales volumes for uncoated freesheet paper , coated paper and wood chips were down from 2004 , but average price realizations improved for exported un- coated freesheet and coated groundwood paper grades . favorable currency translation , as yearly average real exchange rates versus the u.s . dollar were 17% ( 17 % ) higher in 2005 than in 2004 , positively impacted reported sales in u.s . dollars . average sales prices for domestic un- coated paper declined 4% ( 4 % ) in local currency versus 2004 , while domestic coated paper prices were down 3% ( 3 % ) . operating profits in 2005 were down 9% ( 9 % ) from 2004 , but were up 2% ( 2 % ) from 2003 . earnings in 2005 were neg- atively

primarily as a result of an increase in net income , offset by an increase in working capital usage of $ 121.5 . due to the seasonality of our business , we typically generate cash from working capital in the second half of a year and use cash from working capital in the first half of a year , with the largest impacts in the first and fourth quarters . our net working capital usage in 2014 was impacted by our media businesses . net cash provided by operating activities during 2013 was $ 592.9 , which was an increase of $ 235.7 as compared to 2012 , primarily as a result of an improvement in working capital usage of $ 283.6 , offset by a decrease in net income . the improvement in working capital in 2013 was impacted by our media businesses and an ongoing focus on working capital management at our agencies . the timing of media buying on behalf of our clients affects our working capital and operating cash flow . in most of our businesses , our agencies enter into commitments to pay production and media costs on behalf of clients . to the extent possible we pay production and media charges after we have received funds from our clients . the amounts involved substantially exceed our revenues and primarily affect the level of accounts receivable , expenditures billable to clients , accounts payable and accrued liabilities . our assets include both cash received and accounts receivable from clients for these pass-through arrangements , while our liabilities include amounts owed on behalf of clients to media and production suppliers . our accrued liabilities are also affected by the timing of certain other payments . for example , while annual cash incentive awards are accrued throughout the year , they are generally paid during the first quarter of the subsequent year . investing activities net cash used in investing activities during 2014 primarily related to payments for capital expenditures and acquisitions . capital expenditures

rate , foreign exchange or inflation ( e.g. , equity , credit or commodity risks ) . in addition , the company has elected fair-value accounting under sfas 155 for residual interests retained from securitizing certain financial assets . the company has elected fair-value accounting for these instruments because these exposures are considered to be trading-related positions and , therefore , are managed on a fair-value basis . in addition , the accounting for these instruments is simplified under a fair-value approach as it eliminates the complicated operational requirements of bifurcating the embedded derivatives from the host contracts and accounting for each separately . the hybrid financial instruments are classified as trading account assets , loans , deposits , trading account

component for accrued interest , are recorded in principal transactions in the company 2019s consolidated statement of income . interest accruals for certain hybrid instruments classified as trading assets are recorded separately from the change in fair value as interest revenue in the company 2019s consolidated statement of income . mortgage servicing rights the company accounts for mortgage servicing rights ( msrs ) at fair value in accordance with sfas 156 . fair value for msrs is determined using an option-adjusted spread valuation approach . this approach consists of projecting servicing cash flows under multiple interest-rate scenarios and discounting these cash flows using risk-adjusted rates . the model assumptions used in the valuation of msrs include mortgage prepayment speeds and discount rates . the fair value of msrs is primarily affected by changes in prepayments that result from shifts in mortgage interest rates . in managing this risk , the company hedges a significant portion of the values of its msrs through the use of interest-rate derivative contracts , forward- purchase commitments of mortgage-backed securities , and purchased securities classified

paper and packaging solutions that help our customers win . we successfully executed this strategy in fiscal 2018 in a rapidly changing cost and price environment . net sales of $ 16285.1 million for fiscal 2018 increased $ 1425.4 million , or 9.6% ( 9.6 % ) , compared to fiscal 2017 . the increase was primarily a result of an increase in corrugated packaging segment sales , driven by higher selling price/mix and the contributions from acquisitions , and increased consumer packaging segment sales , primarily due to the contribution from acquisitions ( primarily the mps acquisition ) . these increases were partially offset by the absence of net sales from hh&b in fiscal 2018 due to the sale of hh&b in april 2017 and lower land and development segment sales compared to the prior year period due to the timing of real estate sales as we monetize the portfolio and lower merchandising display sales in the consumer packaging segment . segment income increased $ 491.5 million in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 , primarily due to increased corrugated packaging segment income . with respect to segment income , we experienced higher levels of cost inflation during fiscal 2018 as compared to fiscal 2017 , which was partially offset by recycled fiber deflation . the primary inflationary items were freight costs , chemical costs , virgin fiber costs and wage and other costs . productivity improvements in fiscal 2018 more than offset the net impact of cost inflation . while it is difficult to predict specific inflationary items , we expect higher cost inflation to continue through fiscal 2019 . our corrugated packaging segment increased its net sales by $ 695.1 million in fiscal 2018 to $ 9103.4 million from $ 8408.3 million in fiscal 2017 . the increase in net sales was primarily due to higher corrugated selling price/mix and higher corrugated volumes ( including acquisitions ) , which were partially offset by lower net sales from recycling operations due to lower recycled fiber costs , lower sales related to the deconsolidation of a foreign joint venture in fiscal 2017 and the impact of foreign currency . north american box shipments increased 4.1% ( 4.1 % ) on a per day basis in fiscal 2018 compared to fiscal 2017 . segment income attributable to the corrugated packaging segment in fiscal 2018 increased $ 454.0 million to $ 1207.9 million compared to $ 753.9 million in fiscal 2017 . the increase was primarily due to higher selling price/mix , lower recycled fiber costs and productivity improvements which were partially offset by higher levels of

expense related to acquired intangible assets and additional interest expense related to the short-term debt used to finance the acquisition . these adjustments assume the application of fair value adjustments to intangibles and the debt issuance occurred on january 1 , 2015 and are approximated as follows : amortization expense of $ 125million and interest expense of $ 40million . in addition , significant nonrecurring adjustments include the elimination of a $ 72million pension curtailment loss , net of tax , recognized in 2015 and the elimination of a $ 58 million income tax charge related to historic earnings of foreign subsidiaries recognized by sikorsky in 2015 . the unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information also reflects an increase in interest expense , net of tax , of approximately $ 110 million in 2015 . the increase in interest expense is the result of assuming the november 2015 notes were issued on january 1 , 2015 . proceeds of the november 2015 notes were used
