NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

1.
Other Income – Net
In first quarter 2013, we recognized a $97 million gain on a land sale, which increased net income by $60 million or $0.19 per share.

2.
Stock Repurchase Program
We repurchased 3.1 million shares of common stock in 2014, totaling $318 million, and 8.3 million shares at a cost of $627 million for 2013. We have remaining authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to 35.2 million shares through December 31, 2017. The timing and volume of purchases is guided by our assessment of market conditions and other pertinent factors. Any near-term share repurchases are expected to be made with internally generated cash, cash on hand, or proceeds from borrowings. Since the beginning of 2006, we have repurchased and retired 139.8 million shares at a total cost of $8.4 billion.
