ICAHN ENTERPRISES L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
ICAHN ENTERPRISES HOLDINGS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)


1.
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.
General
Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises”) is a master limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987. Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises Holdings”) is a limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987. References to "we," "our" or "us" herein include both Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings and their subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
Icahn Enterprises owns a 99% limited partner interest in Icahn Enterprises Holdings. Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc. (“Icahn Enterprises GP”), which is owned and controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn, owns a 1% general partner interest in each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings as of June 30, 2015. Icahn Enterprises Holdings and its subsidiaries own substantially all of our assets and liabilities and conduct substantially all of our operations. Therefore, the financial results of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings are substantially the same, with differences relating primarily to debt, as discussed further in Note 10, "Debt," and to the allocation of the general partner interest, which is reflected as an aggregate 1.99% general partner interest in the financial statements of Icahn Enterprises. In addition to the above, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates owned 112,285,454, or approximately 88.7%, of Icahn Enterprises' outstanding depositary units as of June 30, 2015.
We are a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries currently engaged in the following continuing operating businesses: Investment, Automotive, Energy, Metals, Railcar, Gaming, Mining, Food Packaging, Real Estate and Home Fashion. We also report the results of our Holding Company, which includes the results of certain subsidiaries of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings (unless otherwise noted), and investment activity and expenses associated with the Holding Company. Further information regarding our continuing reportable segments is contained in Note 2, “Operating Units,” and Note 13, “Segment Reporting.”
We conduct and plan to continue to conduct our activities in such a manner as not to be deemed an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “'40 Act”). Therefore, no more than 40% of our total assets can be invested in investment securities, as such term is defined in the '40 Act. In addition, we do not invest or intend to invest in securities as our primary business. We intend to structure our investments to continue to be taxed as a partnership rather than as a corporation under the applicable publicly traded partnership rules of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) related to interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature.
Summary of New Significant Accounting Policies
As further described in Note 2, "Operating Units - Mining," we obtained a controlling interest in Ferrous Resources Limited ("Ferrous Resources"), which constitutes our Mining segment, during the second quarter of 2015. As a result, we have the following new accounting policies that are applicable to our Mining segment:
Revenue Recognition
Our Mining segment recognizes revenue when title, ownership, and risk of loss pass to the customer, all of which occurs upon shipment or delivery of the product and is based on the applicable shipping terms. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, with any adjustments as a result of provisional pricing recorded against revenue.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditures
Exploration and evaluation expenditures relate to costs incurred in the exploration and evaluation of potential mineral reserves and include costs such as exploratory drilling, sample testing and the costs of feasibility studies. For our Mining

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

segment, exploration and evaluation expenditures other than that acquired through the purchase of another mining company, are expensed as incurred.
Purchased exploration and evaluation assets are recognized as assets at their cost of acquisition or at fair value if purchased as part of a business combination.
An impairment review is performed, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level, when there are indicators that the carrying amount of the assets may exceed their recoverable amounts. To the extent the carrying values exceed their recoverable amounts, the excess is recognized as an impairment charge in the statements of operations in the period this is determined. Exploration assets are reassessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that certain conditions are met.
Expenditures are transferred to mine development assets once the work completed supports the future development of the property, provided that technical feasibility and commercial viability studies have been successfully completed.
Mining Properties and Mine Development Expenditures
The costs of acquiring mineral reserves and resources for our Mining segment are capitalized on the consolidated balance sheets as incurred. Capitalized mineral reserves and mine development expenditures are, upon commencement of commercial production, depreciated using a unit of production method based on the estimated economically recoverable reserves to which they relate, or are written off if abandoned. The net carrying amounts of the mineral reserves and resources and capitalized mine development expenditures at each mine property are reviewed for impairment either individually or at the cash-generating unit level when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. To the extent the carrying values exceed their recoverable amounts, the excess is recognized as an impairment charge in the statements of operations in the period this is determined.
In our Mining segment's operations, it is necessary to remove overburden and other waste in order to access the ore body. During the pre-production phase, these costs are capitalized as part of the cost of the mine property and depreciated using a units of production method once the mine enters into a full commercial production phase. The costs of removal of the waste material during a mine's production phase are expensed as incurred.
Inventories
Our Mining segment's inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost includes all costs incurred in the normal course of business in bringing each product to its present location and condition, including direct materials and direct labor costs, and an allocation of production overheads based on normal production capacity. Cost is calculated using weighted average unit cost.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications from the prior year presentation have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of (i) Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings and (ii) the wholly and majority owned subsidiaries of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings, in addition to those entities in which we have a controlling interest as a general partner interest. In evaluating whether we have a controlling financial interest in entities that we consolidate, we consider the following: (1) for voting interest entities, we consolidate these entities in which we own a majority of the voting interests; and (2) for limited partnership entities, we consolidate these entities if we are the general partner of such entities and for which no substantive kick-out rights (the rights underlying the limited partners' ability to dissolve the limited partnership or otherwise remove the general partners are collectively referred to as “kick-out” rights) or participating rights exist. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Except for our Investment segment, for those investments in which we own 50% or less but greater than 20%, we generally account for such investments using the equity method, while investments in affiliates of 20% or less are accounted for under the cost method.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, cash held at consolidated affiliated partnerships and restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from brokers, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and due to brokers are deemed to be reasonable estimates of their fair values because of their short-term nature.
See Note 4, “Investments and Related Matters,” and Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements,” for a detailed discussion of our investments.
The fair value of our long-term debt is based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our long-term debt as of June 30, 2015 was approximately $12.1 billion and $12.2 billion, respectively. The carrying value and estimated fair value of our long-term debt as of December 31, 2014 was each approximately $11.6 billion.
Restricted Cash
Our restricted cash balance was approximately $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, which amends FASB ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements and FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis applicable to activities that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years, and changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. We adopted ASU No. 2014-08 during the first quarter of 2015 and believe that this guidance will reduce the number of dispositions that would qualify for discontinued operations at our parent company level, thereby reducing the complexity associated with the reporting and disclosure requirements of discontinued operations that would have been otherwise required previously.
In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-17, which amends FASB Topic 805, Business Combinations. This ASU provides an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon the occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity. The ASU became effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of this guidance during the fourth quarter of 2014 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, which amends FASB ASU Topic 220-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items. This ASU eliminates from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Although the ASU will eliminate the requirements in Subtopic 225-20 for reporting entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary, the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. A reporting entity may apply the amendments prospectively. A reporting entity also may apply the amendments retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. We adopted ASU No. 2015-01 during the first quarter of 2015 and believe that the adoption of this guidance will have no impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, creating a new topic, FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, superseding revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, an entity is required to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, using one of two retrospective application methods. Early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard but will permit companies to adopt this standard on the original effective date. The FASB expects to issue its final ASU formally amending the effective date by the end of the third quarter of 2015. We are currently evaluating the

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, which amends FASB Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We believe that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, which amends FASB ASU Topic 810, Consolidations. This ASU amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. This ASU requires that limited partnerships and similar legal entities provide partners with either substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights over the general partner in order to be considered a voting interest entity. The specialized consolidation model and guidance for limited partnerships and similar legal entities have been eliminated. There is no longer a presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. For limited partnerships and similar legal entities that qualify as voting interest entities, a limited partner with a controlling financial interest should consolidate a limited partnership. A controlling financial interest may be achieved through holding a limited partner interest that provides substantive kick-out rights. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We believe that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which amends FASB ASU Subtopic 835-30, Interest - Imputation of Interest. The new standard requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2015 and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We expect that the adoption of this new guidance will result in a reclassification of debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which amends FASB ASU Topic 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits. This ASU provides a practical expedient that permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. We anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06, Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions, which amends FASB ASU Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. This ASU requires that for purposes of calculating earnings per share under the two-class method, the earnings or losses of a transferred business before the date of a dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners would not change as a result of the drop down transaction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures as we have historically allocated earnings or losses of a transferred business before the date of applicable dropdown transactions to the general partner for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
Filing Status of Subsidiaries
Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation (“Federal-Mogul”), CVR Energy, Inc. ("CVR"), American Railcar Industries, Inc. (“ARI”) and Tropicana Entertainment Inc. (“Tropicana”) are each a public reporting entity under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and file annual, quarterly and current reports and proxy and information statements with the SEC. Each of these reports is publicly available at www.sec.gov.

Operating Units.
Investment
Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds, including Icahn Partners L.P. ("Icahn Partners") and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP ("Master Fund") (collectively, the "Investment Funds"), through which we invest our proprietary capital. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's wholly owned affiliates are the sole investors in the Investment Funds. Icahn Onshore LP and Icahn Offshore LP (together, the "General Partners") act as the general partner of Icahn Partners and the Master Fund, respectively. The General Partners provide investment advisory and certain administrative and back office services to the Investment Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Investment Funds are not offered to outside investors.
We had interests in the Investment Funds with a fair value of approximately $4.6 billion and $4.3 billion as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Automotive
We conduct our Automotive segment through our majority ownership in Federal-Mogul and IEH Auto Holdings, LLC ("IEH Auto"), which acquired certain automotive assets of Uni-Select, Inc. through an acquisition that was consummated during the second quarter of 2015 (see below for further discussion). 
Federal-Mogul is a leading global supplier of a broad range of components, accessories and systems to the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty, marine, railroad, agricultural, off-road, aerospace and energy, industrial and transport markets, including customers in both the original equipment manufacturers and servicers (“OE”) market and the replacement market (“aftermarket”). Federal-Mogul’s customers include the world’s largest automotive OEs and major distributors and retailers in the independent aftermarket.
Federal-Mogul operates with two end-customer focused businesses. The Powertrain business unit focuses on original equipment products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications. The Motorparts business unit sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, chassis, wipers and other vehicle components. This organizational model allows for a strong product line focus benefitting both original equipment and aftermarket customers and enables the global Federal-Mogul teams to be responsive to customers’ needs for superior products and to promote greater identification with Federal-Mogul premium brands. Additionally, this organizational model enhances management focus to capitalize on opportunities for organic and acquisition growth, profit improvement, resource utilization and business model optimization in line with the unique requirements of the two different customer bases.
IEH Auto has 39 distribution centers and satellite locations and 240 corporate-owned jobber stores in the United States and supports a network of more than 2,000 independent wholesalers. IEH Auto operates independently of Federal-Mogul.
Transactions between Federal-Mogul and IEH Auto have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reorganization
On September 3, 2014, Federal-Mogul announced its plan to separate its Powertrain and Motorparts businesses into two independent, publicly-traded companies serving the global original equipment and aftermarket industries. The planned separation will be implemented through a tax-free distribution of Federal-Mogul’s Motorparts business to shareholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including among others, Federal-Mogul’s receipt of an IRS ruling or opinion of counsel to the effect that the distribution will qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. Federal Income tax purposes, as well as effectiveness of a Form 10 Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC. 
On February 24, 2015, Federal-Mogul announced that it would defer the previously announced spin-off of its Motorparts business to allow for the integration of its recently completed brake component, chassis and valvetrain acquisitions and to recognize the benefits of the strategic initiatives in the Motorparts business. As a result of the deferral and the recent closing of the acquisition of TRW's (as defined below) valvetrain business, Federal-Mogul commenced a common stock rights offering to strengthen its balance sheet. See below for further information regarding this rights offering. Federal-Mogul's board of directors intends to revisit the timing of the spin-off prior to the end of December 31, 2015. Meanwhile Federal-Mogul will

continue to operate as two separate, independent businesses. No assurances can be given regarding the ultimate timing of the separation or that it will be consummated.
TRW Acquisition
On February 6, 2015, certain subsidiaries of Federal-Mogul finalized an agreement with TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. ("TRW") to purchase certain business assets of the TRW engine components business. The business was acquired through a combination of asset and stock purchases for a base purchase price of $309 million with $6 million of consideration to be payable upon certain conditions being met. The purchase price was funded primarily from the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility (as defined herein) and is subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments. The purchase of TRW’s engine valve business adds a new product line to Federal-Mogul's portfolio, strengthens its position as a leading developer and supplier of core components for engines, and enhances its ability to support its customers to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions.
A preliminary valuation of the net assets of the TRW engine components business acquisition resulted in $140 million allocated to tangible net assets, $85 million to goodwill and $90 million to other identified intangible assets as of the acquisition date. Because Federal-Mogul is in the process of finalizing certain customary post-closing adjustments, the provisional measurements of net assets are subject to change. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches. The TRW engine components business acquisition is not material, individually or in the aggregate with the IEH Auto and Ferrous Resources acquisitions, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
IEH Auto Acquisition
On June 1, 2015, IEH Auto acquired substantially all of the auto parts assets in the United States of Uni-Select, Inc., a leading automotive parts distributor for domestic and imported vehicles, for a purchase price of $330 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustment. A preliminary valuation of the net assets of the IEH Auto business acquisition resulted in $339 million allocated to tangible net assets and $2 million allocated to other identified intangible assets as of the acquisition date. In addition, we recorded a bargain purchase gain of $3 million, net of taxes related to this purchase, representing the difference of the fair value of net assets acquired over the consideration transferred as of the acquisition date. The bargain purchase was recorded in other income, net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We reassessed whether we had correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed of the IEH Auto business acquisition before recognizing a gain on a bargain purchase. We concluded that we had appropriately reviewed our procedures for measuring and allocating fair values of the IEH Auto business acquisition before recognizing a bargain purchase gain.
Because IEH Auto is in the process of finalizing certain customary post-closing adjustments, the provisional measurements of net assets are subject to change. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches. The acquisition of IEH Auto was not material, individually or in the aggregate with the TRW engine components business acquisition and the Ferrous Resources acquisition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Rights Offering
On March 26, 2015, Federal-Mogul received $250 million in connection with its previously announced common stock registered rights offering (the “Federal-Mogul Rights Offering”). In connection with the Federal-Mogul Rights Offering, we fully exercised our subscription rights under our basic and over subscription privileges to purchase additional shares of Federal-Mogul common stock, thereby increasing our ownership of Federal-Mogul, for an aggregate additional investment of $230 million.
As of June 30, 2015, we owned approximately 82.0% of the total outstanding common stock of Federal-Mogul.
Accounts Receivable, net
Federal-Mogul's subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Gross accounts receivable transferred under these facilities were $383 million and $306 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Of those gross amounts, $365 million and $293 million, respectively, qualify as sales as defined in FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. The remaining transferred receivables were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts receivable, net and debt. Under the terms of these facilities, Federal-Mogul is not obligated to draw cash immediately upon the transfer of accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Federal-Mogul had withdrawn cash related to such transferred receivables of $2 million and $2 million, respectively. Proceeds from the

transfers of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $410 million and $445 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $800 million and $855 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, expenses associated with transfers of receivables were $2 million and $2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, expenses associated with transfers of receivables were $4 million and $3 million, respectively. Such expenses were recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations within other income (loss), net. Where Federal-Mogul receives a fee to service and monitor these transferred receivables, such fees are sufficient to offset the costs and as such, a servicing asset or liability is not incurred as a result of such activities.
Certain of the facilities contain terms that require Federal-Mogul to share in the credit risk of the sold receivables. The maximum exposure to Federal-Mogul associated with certain of these facilities' terms were $15 million and $17 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Based on Federal-Mogul's analysis of the creditworthiness of its customers on which such receivables were sold and outstanding as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Federal-Mogul estimated the loss to be immaterial.
Restructuring
During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, Federal-Mogul recorded $27 million and $30 million, respectively, in restructuring charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, Federal-Mogul recorded $39 million and $38 million, respectively, in restructuring charges. These restructuring charges, primarily consisting of employee costs and headcount reductions, pertain to all restructuring programs that Federal-Mogul has initiated in order to improve its operating performance.
Restructuring expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily relate to the reshaping of Federal-Mogul's aftermarket distribution network in Europe and separation programs in various European countries, primarily Germany, aimed at integrating the recently acquired Honeywell braking component locations. Federal-Mogul expects to complete these programs in 2018 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $30 million in connection therewith. For programs previously initiated, Federal-Mogul expects to complete these programs in 2016 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $15 million.

Equity Offerings
On June 30, 2014, CVR Refining completed an underwritten offering (the “Follow-on Offering”), resulting in gross proceeds of $170 million before giving effect to underwriting discounts and other offering expenses. On July 24, 2014, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase additional common units of CVR Refining, resulting in additional gross proceeds of $15 million. CVR Refining used this $15 million in gross proceeds to redeem an equal amount of common units from CVR Refining Holdings, LLC. Additionally, on July 24, 2014, CVR Refining Holdings, LLC sold common units to the public in connection with the underwriters' exercise of their remaining option to purchase additional common units, resulting in net proceeds of $10 million.
As a result of the Follow-on Offering during the six months ended June 30, 2014, our consolidated equity increased by an aggregate of $140 million, of which $131 million was attributable to non-affiliated non-controlling interests and $9 million was attributable to both Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings.

As of June 30, 2015, we owned approximately 67.9% of the total outstanding common stock of Tropicana.
Mining
We conduct our Mining segment through our majority ownership in Ferrous Resources. As discussed below, we obtained control of and consolidated the results of Ferrous Resources during the second quarter of 2015.
Ferrous Resources acquired certain rights to iron ore mineral resources in Brazil and develops mining operations and related infrastructure to produce and sell iron ore products to the global steel industry. Ferrous Resources has acquired significant iron ore assets in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, known as Viga, Viga Norte, Esperança, Serrinha and Santanense. In addition, Ferrous Resources has acquired certain mineral rights near Jacuípe in the State of Bahia, Brazil. Of the assets acquired, Viga, Esperança and Santanense are already extracting and producing iron ore, while the other assets are at an early stage of exploration.
Acquisition
On April 25, 2015, IEP Ferrous Brazil LLC ("IEP Ferrous"), a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, entered into an agreement which provided that IEP Ferrous would launch a tender offer to purchase any and all of the outstanding shares of Ferrous Resources for $0.36 per share and backstop a certain rights offering of up to $40 million
Prior to the tender offer, IEP Ferrous owned approximately 14.1% of the total outstanding shares of Ferrous Resources. As a result of the tender offer, IEP Ferrous obtained control of Ferrous Resources through the purchase of additional shares of Ferrous Resources on June 8, 2015 (the acquisition date), and additional shares of Ferrous Resources on June 26, 2015 for a combined aggregate tender consideration of $180 million. In addition, on June 26, 2015, pursuant to a certain rights offering, we purchased additional shares of Ferrous Resources for an aggregate consideration of $29 million. As a result, as of June 30, 2015, we owned approximately 77.2% of the total outstanding common stock of Ferrous Resources.
Prior to obtaining a controlling interest, we remeasured our equity interest in Ferrous Resources to its acquisition-date fair value of $36 million, resulting in a $4 million loss on investment activities.
A preliminary valuation of the net assets of the Ferrous Resources business acquisition resulted in $362 million allocated to tangible net assets as of the acquisition date. Because IEP Ferrous is in the process of finalizing certain customary post-closing adjustments, the provisional measurements of net assets are subject to change. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches. The acquisition of Ferrous Resources was not material, individually or in the aggregate with the TRW engine components business acquisition and the IEH Auto acquisition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Also in April 2015, ARI entered into a parts purchasing and sale agreement with ACF. The agreement was unanimously approved by the independent directors of ARI’s and Icahn Enterprises' audit committee. Under this agreement, ARI and ACF may, from time to time, purchase and sell to each other certain parts for railcars ("Railcar Parts"). ARI also provides a non-exclusive and non-assignable license of certain intellectual property related to the manufacture and sale of Railcar Parts to ARI. The buyer under the agreement must pay the market price of the parts as determined in the agreement or as stated on a public website for all ARI buyers. ARI may provide designs, engineering and purchasing support, including all materials and components to ACF. Subject to certain early termination events, the agreement terminates on December 31, 2020.
ARI purchased $7 million and $1 million of components from ACF during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $9 million and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In January 2013, ARI entered into a purchasing and engineering services agreement and license with ACF Industries LLC ("ACF"), an affiliate of Mr. Icahn. ACF is a leader in the manufacture and fabrication of specialty railcar parts and miscellaneous steel products. The agreement was unanimously approved by the independent directors of ARI’s and Icahn Enterprises' audit committee on the basis that the terms of the agreement were not materially less favorable to ARI than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction with an unrelated person. Under this agreement, ARI provides purchasing support and engineering services to ACF in connection with ACF’s manufacture and sale of tank railcars at its facility in Milton, Pennsylvania. Additionally, ARI has granted ACF a nonexclusive, non-assignable license to certain of ARI’s intellectual property, including certain designs, specifications, processes and manufacturing know-how required to manufacture and sell tank railcars during the term of the agreement. In August 2014, ARI and ACF amended this agreement to, among other provisions, extend the termination date to December 31, 2015 from December 31, 2014, subject to certain early termination events.
In consideration for the services and license provided by ARI to ACF in conjunction with the agreement, ACF pays ARI a royalty and, if any, a share of the net profits ("ACF Profits") earned on each railcar manufactured and sold by ACF under the agreement, in an aggregate amount equal to 30% of such ACF Profits, as calculated under the agreement. ACF Profits are net of certain of ACF’s start-up and shutdown expenses and certain maintenance capital. If no ACF Profits are realized on a railcar manufactured and sold by ACF pursuant to the agreement, ARI will still be entitled to the royalty for such railcar and will not share in any losses incurred by ACF in connection therewith. In addition, any railcar components supplied by ARI to ACF for the manufacture of these railcars are provided at fair market value.
Under the agreement, ACF had the exclusive right to manufacture and sell subject tank railcars for any new orders scheduled for delivery to customers on or before January 31, 2014. ARI has the exclusive right to any sales opportunities for such tank railcars for any new orders scheduled for delivery after that date and through termination of the agreement. ARI also has the right to assign any sales opportunity to ACF, and ACF has the right, but not the obligation, to accept such sales opportunity. Any sales opportunity accepted by ACF will not be reflected in ARI’s orders or backlog.
ARI's revenues under this agreement were $4 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $6 million and $12 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for sales of railcar components to ACF and for royalties and profits on railcars sold by ACF.
In April 2015, ARI entered into a repair services and support agreement with ACF. The agreement was unanimously approved by the independent directors of ARI’s and Icahn Enterprises' audit committee. Under this agreement, ARI provides certain sales and administrative and technical services, materials and purchasing support and engineering services to ACF to provide repair and retrofit services ("Repair Services"). Additionally, ARI provides a non-exclusive and non-assignable license of certain intellectual property related to the Repair Services for railcars. ARI receives 30% of the net profits (as defined in the agreement) for Repair Services related to all railcars not owned by ARL or its subsidiaries and 20% of the net profits for Repair Services related to all railcars owned by ARL or its subsidiaries, if any, but does not absorb any losses incurred by ACF.
Under the agreement, ARI has the exclusive right to sales opportunities related to Repair Services, except for any sales opportunity related to Repair Services presented to ACF by ARL with respect to ARL-owned railcars. ARI also has the right to assign any sales opportunities related to Repair Services to ACF, and ACF has the right, but not the obligation, to accept such sales opportunity. Subject to certain early termination events, the agreement terminates on December 31, 2020.
No revenues have been recorded under this agreement in 2015.
In April 2013, AEP Leasing entered into an agreement (the "ACF Agreement") with ACF whereby AEP Leasing would purchase a total of 1,050 railcars from ACF in 2013 and 2014 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $150 million.

The ACF Agreement was assumed by ARL in connection with our purchase of a 75.0% economic interest in ARL. The ACF Agreement was unanimously approved by Icahn Enterprises' audit committee consisting of independent directors, who were advised by independent counsel and an independent financial advisor on the basis that the terms were not less favorable than those terms that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction with an unaffiliated third party. Under this agreement, purchases of railcars from ACF were zero and $36 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $9 million and $63 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Icahn Enterprises was a member of the buying group in 2012. Prior to December 31, 2012 Icahn Enterprises did not pay Icahn Sourcing any fees or other amounts with respect to the buying group arrangement.
In December 2012, Icahn Sourcing advised Icahn Enterprises that effective January 1, 2013 it would restructure its ownership and change its name to Insight Portfolio Group LLC (“Insight Portfolio Group”).  In connection with the restructuring, Icahn Enterprises Holdings acquired a minority equity interest in Insight Portfolio Group and agreed to pay a portion of Insight Portfolio Group's operating expenses.

A number of other entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship also acquired equity interests in Insight Portfolio Group and also agreed to pay certain of Insight Portfolio Group's operating expenses. For each of three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, immaterial amounts were paid in respect to certain of the Insight Portfolio Group's operating expenses.

Investments and Related Matters.
Investment
Investments, and securities sold, not yet purchased consist of equities, bonds, bank debt and other corporate obligations, and derivatives, all of which are reported at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 5, "Fair Value Measurements - Investment," for details of the investments for our Investment segment.
Our Investment segment assesses the applicability of equity method accounting with respect to their investments based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors, including overall stock ownership of the Investment Funds combined with those of our affiliates along with board of directors representation.
Our Investment segment applied the fair value option to certain of its investments that would have otherwise been subject to the equity method of accounting.  As of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of these investments was less than $1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our Investment segment recorded gains (losses) of $1 million and $(1) million, respectively, associated with these investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our Investment segment recorded (losses) gains of $(1) million and $1 million, respectively, associated with these investments. Such amounts are included in net gain from investment activities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We believe that these investments to which we applied the fair value option are not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The portion of trading gains that relates to trading securities still held by our Investment segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $229 million and approximately $1.6 billion, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $624 million and approximately $1.7 billion, respectively.

Our Holding Company applies the fair value option to its investments that would otherwise be subject to the equity method of accounting. We record unrealized gains and losses for the change in fair value of such investments as a component of net gain from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, our Energy segment received proceeds of $68 million for the sale of a portion of its investment in available-for-sale securities. The aggregate cost basis for the available-for-sale securities sold was $48 million. Upon the sale of the available-for-sale securities, our Energy segment reclassified an unrealized gain of $20 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized a realized gain in net gain from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. At the end of the first quarter of 2015, our Energy segment's remaining available-for-sale securities, with an aggregate cost basis of $26 million, were reclassified to trading securities based on our Energy segment's ability and intent with respect to the securities. In connection with the transfer to trading securities, an unrealized gain of $12 million previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss was reclassified to net gain from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the trading securities were sold, and our Energy segment received proceeds of $38 million and recognized an additional realized gain of less than $1 million in net gain from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Fair Value Measurements.
U.S. GAAP requires enhanced disclosures about investments and non-recurring non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are measured and reported at fair value and has established a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments or non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments and non-financial assets and/or liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities and listed derivatives. We do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position.
Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives. The inputs and assumptions of our Level 2 investments are derived from market observable sources including reported trades, broker/dealer quotes and other pertinent data.
Level 3 - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and non-financial asset and/or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment or non-financial asset and/or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Fair value is determined using comparable market transactions and other valuation methodologies, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and consideration of factors specific to the investment. Significant transfers, if any, between the levels within the fair value hierarchy are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period when changes in circumstances require such transfers.

Total realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded for Level 3 investments are reported in net gain from investment activities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Investment Funds held one Level 3 corporate debt investment at June 30, 2015.  In prior periods, in determining the fair value of this investment, we performed a yield analysis of comparable loans to which we applied a risk premium. As a result of the underlying company’s performance and bankruptcy filing in the third quarter of 2014, however, we determined that it was more appropriate to measure the fair value of our debt investment through an enterprise value analysis.

Unrealized losses of $13 million and $16 million were included in earnings related to Level 3 investments still held at as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, by our Gaming segment and Holding Company. Total realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded for Level 3 investments are reported in net gain from investment activities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Our Gaming segment has certain debt securities that are classified as held-to-maturity since our Gaming segment has the ability and intent to hold these bonds to maturity. These debt securities are initially recorded at a discount to approximate fair value. After the initial determination of fair value, our Gaming segment analyzes recoverability of these bonds on a quarterly basis and record changes in fair value based on its historical collection experience and certain other information.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Holding Company made a certain available-for-sale investment of $100 million, which is considered a Level 3 investment due to unobservable market data. As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of this investment was $100 million and was based on the initial purchase price as there was little activity that could have potentially impacted its fair value after our initial investment. In future periods, we will determine the fair value of this investment using internally developed models and other valuation techniques.
During the second quarter of 2015, the Holding Company obtained control of, and consolidated, Ferrous Resources, which was previously considered a Level 3 investment due to unobservable market data. The fair value of our investment in Ferrous Resources immediately prior to obtaining control was $36 million, which was transferred out of Level 3 investment during the second quarter of 2015. See Note 2, "Operating Units - Mining," for further discussion.
On June 30, 2014, the Investment Funds made a distribution-in-kind of a certain Level 3 corporate debt investment in the amount of $110 million to the Holding Company.  In prior periods, in determining the fair value of this investment, we performed a yield analysis of comparable loans to which we applied a risk premium. As a result of the underlying company’s performance and bankruptcy filing in the third quarter of 2014, however, we determined that it was more appropriate to measure the fair value of our debt investment through an enterprise value analysis.

6.
Financial Instruments.
Certain derivative contracts with a single counterparty executed by the Investment Funds, by our Automotive segment with a single counterparty or by our Energy segment with a single counterparty, or by our Holding Company with a single counterparty are reported on a net-by-counterparty basis where a legal right of offset exists under an enforceable netting agreement. Values for the derivative financial instruments, principally swaps, forwards, over-the-counter options and other conditional and exchange contracts, are reported on a net-by-counterparty basis. As a result, the net exposure to counterparties is reported in either other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Investment Segment and Holding Company
The Investment Funds currently maintain cash deposits and cash equivalents with financial institutions. Certain account balances may not be covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, while other accounts may exceed federally insured limits. The Investment Funds have prime broker arrangements in place with multiple prime brokers as well as a custodian bank. The Investment Funds also have relationships with several financial institutions with which they trade derivative and other financial instruments.

In the normal course of business, the Investment Funds and the Holding Company may trade various financial instruments and enter into certain investment activities, which may give rise to off-balance-sheet risks, with the objective of capital appreciation or as economic hedges against other securities or the market as a whole. The Investment Funds' and the Holding Company's investments may include futures, options, swaps and securities sold, not yet purchased. These financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments or to exchange an amount of cash based on the change in an underlying instrument at specific terms at specified future dates. Risks arise with these financial instruments from potential counterparty non-performance and from changes in the market values of underlying instruments.
Securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value represent obligations to deliver the specified security, thereby creating a liability to repurchase the security in the market at prevailing prices. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk, as the satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Our investments in securities and amounts due from brokers are partially restricted until we satisfy the obligation to deliver the securities sold, not yet purchased.
The Investment Funds and the Holding Company may enter into derivative contracts, including swap contracts, futures contracts and option contracts. The Investment Funds may also enter into foreign currency derivative contracts with the objective of capital appreciation or to economically hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on all or a portion of their non-U.S. dollar denominated investments.
The Investment Funds and the Holding Company have entered into various types of swap contracts with other counterparties. These agreements provide that they are entitled to receive or are obligated to pay in cash an amount equal to the increase or decrease, respectively, in the value of the underlying shares, debt and other instruments that are the subject of the contracts, during the period from inception of the applicable agreement to its expiration. In addition, pursuant to the terms of such agreements, they are entitled to receive or obligated to pay other amounts, including interest, dividends and other distributions made in respect of the underlying shares, debt and other instruments during the specified time frame. They are also required to pay to the counterparty a floating interest rate equal to the product of the notional amount multiplied by an agreed-upon rate, and they receive interest on any cash collateral that they post to the counterparty at the federal funds or LIBOR rate in effect for such period.
The Investment Funds and the Holding Company may trade futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, security, currency or cash at a specified price and specified future date unless the contract is closed before the delivery date. Payments (or variation margin) are made or received by the Investment Funds and the Holding Company each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and the whole value change is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss by the Investment Funds and the Holding Company. When the contract is closed, the Investment Funds and the Holding Company record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The Investment Funds and the Holding Company may utilize forward contracts to seek to protect their assets denominated in foreign currencies and precious metals holdings from losses due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and spot rates. The Investment Funds' and the Holding Company's exposure to credit risk associated with non-performance of such forward contracts is limited to the unrealized gains or losses inherent in such contracts, which are recognized in other assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Investment Funds may also enter into foreign currency contracts for purposes other than hedging denominated securities. When entering into a foreign currency forward contract, the Investment Funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon future date unless the contract is closed before such date. The Investment Funds record unrealized gains or losses on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign exchange rates at the dates of entry into such contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date.
The Investment Funds may also purchase and write option contracts. As a writer of option contracts, the Investment Funds receive a premium at the outset and then bear the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the underlying financial instrument. As a result of writing option contracts, the Investment Funds are obligated to purchase or sell, at the holder's option, the underlying financial instrument. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk, as the Investment Funds' satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2015, the maximum payout amounts relating to certain put options written by the Investment Funds were approximately $6.8 billion, of which approximately $6.6 billion related to covered put options on existing short positions on certain stock and credit indices. At December 31, 2014, the maximum payout amounts relating to certain put options written by

the Investment Funds were approximately $2.5 billion, of which approximately $2.4 billion related to covered put options on existing short positions on certain stock and credit indices. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were unrealized gains (losses) of $15 million and less than $(1) million, respectively, with respect to these put options.
Certain terms of the Investment Funds' contracts with derivative counterparties, which are standard and customary to such contracts, contain certain triggering events that would give the counterparties the right to terminate the derivative instruments. In such events, the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The aggregate fair value of all of the Investment Funds' derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a liability position at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $641 million and $614 million, respectively.
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Investment Funds had approximately $1.4 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, posted as collateral for derivative positions, including those derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features; these amounts are included in cash held at consolidated affiliated partnerships and restricted cash in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
U.S. GAAP requires the disclosure of information about obligations under certain guarantee arrangements. Such guarantee arrangements requiring disclosure include contracts that contingently require the guarantor to make payments to the guaranteed party based on another entity's failure to perform under an agreement as well as indirect guarantees of the indebtedness of others.
Each Investment Fund's assets may be held in one or more accounts maintained for the Investment Fund by its prime brokers or at other brokers or custodian banks, which may be located in various jurisdictions. The prime brokers, brokers and custodian banks are subject to various laws and regulations in the relevant jurisdictions in the event of their insolvency. Accordingly, the practical effect of these laws and their application to the Investment Funds' assets may be subject to substantial variations, limitations and uncertainties. The insolvency of any of the prime brokers, brokers, custodian banks or clearing corporations may result in the loss of all or a substantial portion of the Investment Funds' assets or in a significant delay in the Investment Funds' having access to those assets.
Credit concentrations may arise from investment activities and may be impacted by changes in economic, industry or political factors. The Investment Funds and the Holding Company routinely execute transactions with counterparties in the financial services industry, resulting in credit concentration with respect to this industry. In the ordinary course of business, the Investment Funds and the Holding Company may also be subject to a concentration of credit risk to a particular counterparty.
The Investment Funds and the Holding Company seek to mitigate these risks by actively monitoring exposures, collateral requirements and the creditworthiness of our counterparties.
Automotive
Commodity Price Risk
Federal-Mogul's production processes are dependent upon the supply of certain raw materials that are exposed to price fluctuations on the open market. The primary purpose of Federal-Mogul's commodity price forward contract activity is to manage the volatility associated with forecasted purchases. Federal-Mogul monitors its commodity price risk exposures regularly to maximize the overall effectiveness of its commodity forward contracts. Principal raw materials hedged include natural gas, copper, nickel, tin, zinc, high-grade aluminum and aluminum alloy. Forward contracts are used to mitigate commodity price risk associated with raw materials, generally related to purchases forecast for up to 15 months in the future.
Federal-Mogul had commodity price hedge contracts outstanding with combined notional values of $31 million and $36 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, substantially all of which mature within one year in each of the respective periods and all of which were designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Unrealized net losses of $2 million and $1 million were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Foreign Currency Risk
Federal-Mogul manufactures and sells its products in North America, South America, Asia, Europe and Africa. As a result, Federal-Mogul's financial results could be significantly affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign markets in which it manufactures and sells its products. Federal-Mogul's operating results are primarily exposed to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and various global currencies.

Federal-Mogul generally tries to use natural hedges within its foreign currency activities, including the matching of revenues and costs, to minimize foreign currency risk. Where natural hedges are not in place, Federal-Mogul considers managing certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts. Principal currencies hedged have historically included the euro, British pound and Polish zloty. Foreign currency forwards are also used in conjunction with Federal-Mogul's commodity hedging program. As part of its hedging program, Federal-Mogul attempts to limit hedge ineffectiveness by matching terms of the commodity purchases with the hedging instrument. Federal-Mogul does not hold any foreign currency price hedge contracts as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject Federal-Mogul to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of accounts receivable and cash investments. Federal-Mogul's customer base includes virtually every significant global light and commercial vehicle manufacturer and a large number of distributors, installers and retailers of automotive aftermarket parts. Federal-Mogul's credit evaluation process and the geographical dispersion of sales transactions help to mitigate credit risk concentration. No individual customer accounted for more than 6% of Federal-Mogul's direct sales during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Federal-Mogul had one Motorparts customers that accounted for 11% of its net accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2015. Federal-Mogul requires placement of cash in financial institutions evaluated as highly creditworthy.
Energy
CVR is subject to price fluctuations caused by supply conditions, weather, economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations and other factors. To manage price risk on crude oil and other inventories and to fix margins on certain future production, CVR from time to time enters into various commodity derivative transactions.
CVR has adopted accounting standards that impose extensive record-keeping requirements in order to designate a derivative financial instrument as a hedge. CVR holds derivative instruments, such as exchange-traded crude oil futures and certain over-the-counter forward swap agreements, which it believes provide an economic hedge on future transactions, but such instruments are not designated as hedges for GAAP purposes. Gains or losses related to the change in fair value and periodic settlements of these derivative instruments are included in other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Commodity Swaps
CVR Refining enters into commodity swap contracts in order to fix the margin on a portion of future production. The physical volumes are not exchanged and these contracts are net settled with cash. The contract fair value of the commodity swaps is reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value currently recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 2) are considered to determine the fair values for the purpose of marking to market the hedging instruments at each period end. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, CVR had open commodity hedging instruments consisting of 8.1 million and 9.1 million barrels of crack spreads, respectively, primarily to fix the margin on a portion of its future gasoline and distillate production. The fair value of the outstanding contracts at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was a net asset of $20 million and $47 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, CVR recognized a net loss of $12 million and a net gain of $36 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, CVR recognized a net loss of $63 million and a net gain of $146 million, respectively, which is included in other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Interest Rate Swaps
Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC ("CRNF") has two floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of hedging the interest rate risk associated with a portion of its $125 million floating rate term debt, which matures in April 2016. The aggregate notional amount covered under these agreements totals $63 million (split evenly between the two agreements) and commenced on August 12, 2011 and expires on February 12, 2016. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement entered into on June 30, 2011, CRNF receives a floating rate based on three-month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of 1.940%. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement entered into on July 1, 2011, CRNF receives a floating rate based on three-month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of 1.975%. Both swap agreements are settled every 90 days. The effect of these swap agreements is to lock in a fixed rate of interest of approximately 1.960% plus the applicable margin paid to lenders over three-month LIBOR as governed by the CRNF credit facility. As of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the effective

rate of the term loan facility, net of impact of the interest rate swap agreements, was approximately 4.6%. The agreements were designated as cash flow hedges at inception and accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the swap is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified into interest expense when the interest rate swap transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss will be recognized immediately in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The realized losses on the interest rate swaps reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense was less than $1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The short notional amount on our credit swap positions is approximately $10.7 billion and $9.3 billion as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. However, because credit spreads cannot compress below zero, our downside short notional exposure to loss is approximately $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
(2)
The short notional amount on certain of our interest rate contracts with a three month duration is approximately $16.0 billion as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We assume that interest rates will not fall below zero and therefore our downside short notional exposure to loss on these contracts is $74 million (of the total $137 million disclosed in the above table) as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Automotive
As further discussed in Note 2, "Operating Units - Automotive," during the first quarter of 2015, Federal-Mogul consummated the acquisition of its TRW engine components business. As of June 30, 2015, Federal-Mogul recorded $85 million of goodwill, $72 million of customer relationships and $18 million of developed technology; these intangible asset balances reflect measurement period adjustments which Federal-Mogul recorded during the second quarter of 2015. Because Federal-Mogul is in the process of finalizing certain customary post-closing adjustments, the provisional measurements of net assets are subject to further changes. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches. The TRW engine components business acquisition is not material, individually or in the aggregate with the IEH Auto and Ferrous Resources acquisitions, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
As further discussed in Note 2, "Operating Units - Automotive," during the second quarter of 2015, IEH Auto acquired substantially all of the auto parts assets in the United States of Uni-Select, Inc., a leading automotive parts distributor for domestic and imported vehicles. As of June 30, 2015, IEH Auto recorded an aggregate of $2 million of trade name and favorable leases as of the acquisition date. Because IEH Auto is in the process of finalizing certain customary post-closing adjustments, the provisional measurements of net assets are subject to change. The valuation of net assets was performed utilizing cost, income and market approaches. The acquisition of IEH Auto is not material, individually or in the aggregate with the TRW engine components business acquisition and the Ferrous Resources acquisition, to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Energy
We perform our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of April 30 of each year for our Energy segment, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The first step of the impairment analysis involves comparing the fair values of these assets to the respective carrying values to determine the potential for goodwill impairment. The second step of the impairment test, if necessary, involves quantifying the level of goodwill impairment. 
The fair values of our Energy segment's reporting units are based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including a discounted cash flow analysis ("DCF") and pricing multiples of current and future earnings observed for comparable public companies. Assumptions used in a DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment

about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows are based on current plans and for years beyond that plan, the estimates are based on assumed growth rates. We believe that our assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. The discount rates used in a DCF, which are intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) of a market participant. Such estimates are derived from our analysis of peer companies and consider the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective.
We are currently performing the annual goodwill impairment test for our Energy segment which will be finalized during the third quarter of 2015. Based on the preliminary results of our annual goodwill impairment test for our Energy segment, while the fair market value of our Energy segment's Petroleum reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value, the fair market value of our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit was approximately 1% in excess of its carrying value and was therefore considered at risk for failing "Step 1" of the goodwill impairment analysis. As of June 30, 2015, our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit had $253 million of goodwill allocated to it. The most significant key assumption to determining the fair value of our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit was its forecasted sales growth rate. If our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit fails to achieve its forecasted sales growth rate, a goodwill impairment may result in future periods.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, based on certain negative trends occurring in the energy markets, particularly with respect to the significant volatility in the oil markets as a result of a drop in forecasted worldwide demand for crude oil supply and inventories, we determined that goodwill impairment indicators existed in both of our Energy segment's Petroleum and Fertilizer reporting units. Accordingly, we performed a "Step 1" goodwill impairment analysis for our Energy segment's reporting units as of December 1, 2014. Our Energy segment’s petroleum reporting unit passed “Step 1” of the goodwill impairment analysis, and therefore, we did not perform “Step 2” of the goodwill impairment analysis for this reporting unit. Because our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit failed "Step 1" of the goodwill impairment analysis, we therefore, performed "Step 2" of the goodwill impairment analysis. Based on "Step 2" results of the goodwill impairment analysis, we recognized a preliminary impairment charge of $103 million for our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2014. Due to the complexity inherent in the "Step 2" goodwill impairment test, we finalized the assessment of our Energy segment's goodwill impairment during the first quarter of 2015 and noted that no additional adjustments to goodwill were required for the first quarter of 2015.
Railcar
We perform the annual goodwill impairment test as of March 1 of each year for our Railcar segment. For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, our Railcar segment's manufacturing reporting unit is the only reporting unit with allocated goodwill. We assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. If, however, we had determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, then we would perform the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. In evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, we considered various qualitative and quantitative factors, including macroeconomic conditions, railcar industry trends and the fact that our railcar manufacturing reporting unit has historical positive operating cash flows that we anticipate will continue. After assessing these factors, we determined that it was more likely than not the fair value of our railcar manufacturing reporting unit was greater than its carrying amount, and therefore no further testing was necessary.

Senior Unsecured Notes - Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings
5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2022
On January 29, 2014, we and Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp. (“Icahn Enterprises Finance”) (collectively, the “Issuers”) issued $1.350 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”) pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated January 22, 2014 (the “2022 Notes Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, as guarantor, and Jefferies LLC, as initial purchaser (the “2022 Notes Purchaser”). The net proceeds from the sale of the 2022 Notes were approximately $1.340 billion after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and estimated fees and expenses related to the offering.  Interest on the 2022 Notes are payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2014. The 2022 Notes Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties and indemnification and contribution provisions whereby the Issuers and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the 2022 Notes Purchaser, on the other, have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities.
The Issuers issued the 2022 Notes under the indenture dated as of January 29, 2014 (the “2022 Indenture”), among the Issuers, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, as guarantor (the “Guarantor”), and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. The 2022 Indenture contains customary events of defaults and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments.  Prior to the maturity of the 2022 Notes, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2022 Notes at certain times by paying a premium as specified in the 2022 Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The 2022 Notes and the related guarantee are the senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and rank equally with all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness.  The 2022 Notes and the related guarantee are effectively subordinated to the Issuers’ and the Guarantor’s existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness.  The 2022 Notes and the related guarantee are also effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuers’ subsidiaries other than the Guarantor.
In connection with the sale of the 2022 Notes, the Issuers and the Guarantor entered into a certain registration rights agreement dated January 29, 2014. See below for further discussion of this registration rights agreement.

In addition, as described below, on January 21, 2014, the Issuers issued $1.200 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6% Senior Notes due 2020 (the "Additional 2020 Notes" and together with the Initial 2020 Notes, the "2020 Notes") pursuant to the purchase agreement, dated January 8, 2014, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantor, and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Jefferies LLC and UBS Securities LLC, as initial purchasers. The net proceeds from the sale of the Initial 2020 Notes and the Additional 2020 Notes were $493 million and approximately $1.217 billion, respectively, after deducting the initial purchasers' discount and commission and estimated fees and expenses related to the offerings. The Additional 2020 Notes constitute the same series of securities of the 2020 Notes for purposes of the indenture governing the notes and vote together on all matters with such series. The Additional 2020 Notes have substantially identical terms as the Initial 2020 Notes. Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing February 1, 2014.
The 2020 Notes were issued under and are governed by an indenture, dated August 1, 2013 (the “2020 Indenture”), among the Issuers, the Guarantor and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. The 2020 Indenture contains customary events of defaults and covenants relating to, among other things, the incurrence of debt, affiliate transactions, liens and restricted payments.  Prior to the maturity of the 2020 Notes, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the 2020 Notes at certain times by paying certain premiums as specified in the 2020 Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The 2020 Notes and the related guarantee are the senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantor and rank equally with all of the Issuers' and the Guarantor's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and rank senior to all of the Issuers' and the Guarantor's existing and future subordinated indebtedness. The series of notes constituting the 2020 Notes and the related guarantee are effectively subordinated to the Issuers' and the Guarantor's existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the collateral securing such indebtedness. The series of notes constituting the 2020 Notes and the related guarantee are also effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuers' subsidiaries other than the Guarantor.

In conjunction with the refinancing, our Railcar segment incurred a $2 million loss on debt extinguishment, which is reflected in other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The ARI 2015 Notes have a legal final maturity date of January 17, 2045 and an expected principal repayment date of January 15, 2025.
The ARI 2015 Notes were issued pursuant to a certain indenture (the "ARI Indenture), dated January 29, 2015 between Longtrain Leasing III and U.S. Bank National Association, as indenture trustee ("ARI Indenture Trustee"). The ARI Class A-1 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 2.98% per annum, and the ARI Class A-2 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.06% per annum. Interest on the ARI 2015 Notes is payable monthly on the 15th calendar day of each month in accordance with the flow of funds provisions described in the ARI Indenture. While the legal final maturity date of the ARI 2015 Notes is January 17, 2045, cash flows from Longtrain Leasing III's assets will be applied, pursuant to the flow of funds provisions of the ARI Indenture, so as to achieve monthly targeted principal balances. Also, under the flow of funds provisions of the ARI Indenture, early amortization of the ARI 2015 Notes may be required in certain circumstances. If the ARI 2015 Notes are not repaid by the expected principal repayment date on January 15, 2025, additional interest shall accrue at a rate of 5.0% per annum and be payable monthly according to the flow of funds. Pursuant to the terms of the ARI Indenture, ARI is required to maintain deposits in a liquidity reserve bank account equal to nine months of interest payments. As of June 30, 2015, the liquidity reserve amount was $17 million, and included within restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Longtrain Leasing III can prepay or redeem the ARI Class A-1 Notes, in whole or in part, on any payment date and the ARI Class A-2 Notes, in whole or in part, on any payment date occurring on or after January 16, 2018.
The Indenture contains covenants which limit, among other things, Longtrain Leasing III's ability to incur additional indebtedness or encumbrances on its assets, pay dividends or make distributions, make certain investments, perform its business other than specified activities, enter into certain types of transactions with its affiliates, and sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications. ARI was in compliance with all of these covenants as of June 30, 2015.
The ARI Indenture also contains certain customary events of default, including among others, failure to pay amounts when due after applicable grace periods, failure to comply with certain covenants and agreements, and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency. Certain events of default under the ARI Indenture will make the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the ARI 2015 Notes, together with all amounts then due and owing to the noteholders, immediately due and payable without further action. For other events of default, the ARI Indenture Trustee, acting at the direction of a majority of the noteholders, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all ARI 2015 Notes then outstanding to be due and payable immediately.
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the net book value of the railcars that were pledged as part of the lease fleet financings was $490 million and $277 million, respectively.

Income Taxes.
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings recorded an income tax expense of $113 million on pre-tax income of $654 million compared to an income tax expense of $82 million on pre-tax income of $1,205 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective income tax rate was 17.3% and 6.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
For each of the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory federal rate of 35%, primarily due to partnership income not subject to taxation, as such taxes are the responsibility of the partners.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings recorded an income tax expense of $162 million on pre-tax income of $1,125 million compared to an income tax expense of $185 million on pre-tax income of $1,385 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective income tax rate was 14.4% and 13.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
For each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory federal rate of 35%, primarily due to partnership income not subject to taxation, as such taxes are the responsibility of the partners.

Environmental Matters
Federal-Mogul is a defendant in lawsuits filed, or the recipient of administrative orders issued or demand letters received, in various jurisdictions pursuant to the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”) or other similar national, provincial or state environmental remedial laws. These laws provide that responsible parties may be liable to pay for remediating contamination resulting from hazardous substances that were discharged into the environment by them, by prior owners or occupants of property they currently own or operate, or by others to whom they sent such substances for treatment or other disposition at third party locations. Federal-Mogul has been notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, other national environmental agencies, and various provincial and state agencies that it may be a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) under such laws for the cost of remediating hazardous substances pursuant to CERCLA and other national and state or provincial environmental laws. PRP designation often results in the funding of site investigations and subsequent remedial activities.
Many of the sites that are likely to be the costliest to remediate are often current or former commercial waste disposal facilities to which numerous companies sent wastes. Despite the potential joint and several liability that might be imposed on Federal-Mogul under CERCLA and some of the other laws pertaining to these sites, its share of the total waste sent to these sites has generally been small. Federal-Mogul believes its exposure for liability at these sites is limited.
Federal-Mogul has also identified certain other present and former properties at which it may be responsible for cleaning up or addressing environmental contamination, in some cases as a result of contractual commitments and/or federal or state environmental laws. Federal-Mogul is actively seeking to resolve these actual and potential statutory, regulatory and contractual obligations. Although difficult to quantify based on the complexity of the issues, Federal-Mogul has accrued amounts corresponding to its best estimate of the costs associated with such regulatory and contractual obligations on the basis of available information from site investigations and best professional judgment of consultants.
Total environmental liabilities, determined on an undiscounted basis, were $14 million and $15 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Federal-Mogul believes that recorded environmental liabilities will be adequate to cover its estimated liability for its exposure in respect to such matters. In the event that such liabilities were to significantly exceed the amounts recorded by

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Federal-Mogul, our Automotive segment's results of operations could be materially affected. At June 30, 2015, Federal-Mogul estimates reasonably possible material additional losses, above and beyond its best estimate of required remediation costs as recorded, to approximate $36 million.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Federal-Mogul has identified sites with contractual obligations and several sites that are closed or expected to be closed and sold. In connection with these sites, Federal-Mogul has accrued $20 million and $24 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, for asset retirement obligations ("ARO"), primarily related to anticipated costs of removing hazardous building materials at its facilities, and has considered impairment issues that may result from capitalization of these ARO amounts.
Federal-Mogul has conditional asset retirement obligations ("CARO"), primarily related to removal costs of hazardous materials in buildings, for which it believes reasonable cost estimates cannot be made at this time because it does not believe it has a reasonable basis to assign probabilities to a range of potential settlement dates for these retirement obligations. Accordingly, Federal-Mogul is currently unable to determine amounts to accrue for CARO at such sites.
Other Matters
On April 25, 2014, a group of plaintiffs brought an action against Federal-Mogul Products, Inc. (“F-M Products”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Federal-Mogul, alleging injuries and damages associated with the discharge of chlorinated hydrocarbons by the former owner of a facility located in Kentucky.  Since 1998, when F-M Products acquired the facility, it has been cooperating with the applicable regulatory agencies on remediating the prior discharges pursuant to an order entered into by the facility’s former owner. Federal-Mogul is unable to estimate any reasonably possible range of loss for reasons including that the plaintiffs did not claim any amount of damages in their complaint. F-M Products intends to vigorously defend this litigation.
Energy
Unconditional Purchase Obligations
CVR leases various equipment, including railcars, and real properties under long-term operating leases expiring at various dates. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 lease expense was $4 million and $5 million, respectively. The lease agreements have various remaining terms. Some agreements are renewable, at CVR's option, for additional periods. It is expected, in the ordinary course of business, that leases will be renewed or replaced as they expire. Additionally, in the normal course of business, CVR has long-term commitments to purchase oxygen, nitrogen, electricity, storage capacity and pipeline transportation services.
Crude Oil Supply Agreement
On August 31, 2012, Coffeyville Resources Refining & Marketing, LLC ("CRRM"), and Vitol Inc. ("Vitol") entered into an Amended and Restated Crude Oil Supply Agreement (as amended, the "Vitol Agreement"). Under the Vitol Agreement, Vitol supplies the petroleum business with crude oil and intermediation logistics, which helps to reduce the CVR Refining's inventory position and mitigate crude oil pricing risk. The Vitol Agreement will automatically renew for successive one-year terms (each such term, a "Renewal Term") unless either party provides the other with notice of nonrenewal at least 180 days prior to the expiration of any Renewal Term. The Vitol Agreement currently extends through December 31, 2016.
Litigation
From time to time, CVR is involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business, including matters such as those described below under "Environmental, Health and Safety Matters." Liabilities related to such litigation are recognized when the related costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. It is possible that management’s estimates of the outcomes will change due to uncertainties inherent in litigation and settlement negotiations. Except as described below for our Energy segment, there were no new proceedings or material developments in proceedings that we previously reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 ("2014 Form 10-K") and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 ("2015 Q1 Form 10-Q"). In the opinion of CVR's management, the ultimate resolution of any other litigation matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. There can be no assurance that management’s beliefs or opinions with respect to liability for potential litigation matters are accurate.

Flood, Crude Oil Discharge and Insurance
As previously disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K and the 2015 Q1 Form 10-Q, CRRM filed a lawsuit against certain of its environmental insurance carriers requesting insurance coverage indemnification for the June/July 2007 flood and crude oil discharge losses at CRRM’s Coffeyville refinery. During the second quarter of 2015, CRRM entered into a settlement agreement and release with the insurance carriers involved in the lawsuit, pursuant to which (i) CRRM received settlement proceeds of $31 million, (ii) the parties mutually released each other from all claims relating to the flood and crude oil discharge and (iii) all pending appeals have been dismissed. Of the settlement proceeds received, $27 million were recorded as a flood insurance recovery in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015. The remaining $4 million of settlement proceeds reduced CVR Refining's $4 million receivable related to this matter which was included in other assets as of December 31, 2014.
Environmental, Health and Safety Matters ("EHS")
The petroleum and nitrogen fertilizer businesses are subject to various stringent federal, state, and local EHS rules and regulations. Liabilities related to EHS matters are recognized when the related costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of these costs are based upon currently available facts, existing technology, site-specific costs, and currently enacted laws and regulations. In reporting EHS liabilities, no offset is made for potential recoveries.
CRRM, CRNF, Coffeyville Resources Crude Transportation, LLC ("CRCT"), Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC ("WRC") and Coffeyville Resources Terminal, LLC ("CRT") own and/or operate manufacturing and ancillary operations at various locations directly related to petroleum refining and distribution and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing. Therefore, CRRM, CRNF, CRCT, WRC and CRT have exposure to potential EHS liabilities related to past and present EHS conditions at these locations. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), and related state laws, certain persons may be liable for the release or threatened release of hazardous substances. These persons can include the current owner or operator of property where a release or threatened release occurred, any persons who owned or operated the property when the release occurred, and any persons who disposed of, or arranged for the transportation or disposal of, hazardous substances at a contaminated property. Liability under CERCLA is strict, and under certain circumstances, joint and several, so that any responsible party may be held liable for the entire cost of investigating and remediating the release of hazardous substances. Similarly, the Oil Pollution Act generally subjects owners and operators of facilities to strict, joint and several liability for all containment and clean-up costs, natural resource damages, and potential governmental oversight costs arising from oil spills into the waters of the United States, which has been broadly interpreted to include most water bodies including intermittent streams.
CRRM, CRNF, CRCT, WRC and CRT are subject to extensive and frequently changing federal, state and local environmental and health and safety laws and regulations governing the emission and release of hazardous substances into the environment, the treatment and discharge of waste water, and the storage, handling, use and transportation of petroleum and nitrogen products, and the characteristics and composition of gasoline and diesel fuels. The ultimate impact of complying with evolving laws and regulations is not always clearly known or determinable due in part to the fact that their operations may change over time and certain implementing regulations for laws, such as the federal Clean Air Act, have not yet been finalized, are under governmental or judicial review or are being revised. These laws and regulations could result in increased capital, operating and compliance costs.
As previously reported, the petroleum and nitrogen fertilizer businesses are party to, or otherwise subject to administrative orders and consent decrees with federal, state and local environmental authorities, as applicable, addressing corrective actions under RCRA, the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. The petroleum business also is subject to (i) the Mobile Source Air Toxic II ("MSAT II") rule which requires reductions of benzene in gasoline; (ii) the Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS"), which requires refiners to either blend "renewable fuels" in with their transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as RINs, in lieu of blending; and (iii) "Tier 3" gasoline sulfur standards. Except as otherwise described below, there have been no new developments or material changes to the environmental accruals or expected capital expenditures related to compliance with the foregoing environmental matters from those provided in our 2014 Form 10-K and the 2015 Q1 Form 10-Q. CRRM, CRNF, CRCT, WRC and CRT each believe it is in substantial compliance with existing EHS rules and regulations. There can be no assurance that the EHS matters described or referenced herein or other EHS matters which may develop in the future will not have a material adverse effect on our Energy segment's business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

As previously disclosed in our 2014 Form 10-K, in January 2014, the EPA issued an inspection report to WRC related to a RCRA compliance evaluation inspection conducted in March 2013 at the Wynnewood refinery. In February 2014, ODEQ notified WRC that it concurred with the EPA's inspection findings and would be pursuing enforcement. WRC and ODEQ entered into a Consent Order in June 2015 resolving all alleged non-compliance associated with the RCRA compliance evaluation inspection. The Consent Order requires WRC to take certain corrective actions including specified groundwater remediation and monitoring measures pursuant to a work plan to be approved by ODEQ. CVR Refining does not anticipate that the costs of complying with the Consent Order will be material.
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our Energy segment had environmental accruals of $3 million and $1 million, respectively. CVR's management periodically reviews and, as appropriate, revises its environmental accruals. Based on current information and regulatory requirements, CVR's management believes that the accruals established for environmental expenditures are adequate.
Environmental expenditures are capitalized when such expenditures are expected to result in future economic benefits. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, capital expenditures were $7 million and $26 million, respectively, and were incurred for environmental compliance and efficiency of the operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, environmental compliance and efficiency capital expenditures were $18 million and $60 million, respectively.
The cost of RINs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $38 million and $29 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the cost of RINs were $74 million and $64 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the petroleum business' biofuel blending obligation was $33 million and $52 million, respectively, which was recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Environmental Matters
Certain of PSC Metals' facilities are environmentally impaired in part as a result of operating practices at the sites prior to their acquisition by PSC Metals and as a result of PSC Metals' operations. PSC Metals has established procedures to periodically evaluate these sites, giving consideration to the nature and extent of the contamination. PSC Metals has provided for the remediation of these sites based upon management's judgment and prior experience. PSC Metals has estimated the liability to remediate these sites to be $27 million and $28 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Management believes, based on past experience, that the vast majority of these environmental liabilities and costs will be assessed and paid over an extended period of time. PSC Metals believes that it will be able to fund such costs in the ordinary course of business.
Estimates of PSC Metals' liability for remediation of a particular site and the method and ultimate cost of remediation require a number of assumptions that are inherently difficult to make, and the ultimate outcome may be materially different from current estimates. Moreover, because PSC Metals has disposed of waste materials at numerous third-party disposal facilities, it is possible that PSC Metals will be identified as a PRP at additional sites. The impact of such future events cannot be estimated at the current time.
PSC Metals has been designated as a PRP under U.S. federal and state superfund laws with respect to certain sites with which PSC Metals may have had a direct or indirect involvement. It is alleged that PSC Metals and its subsidiaries or their predecessors transported waste to the sites, disposed of waste at the sites or operated the sites in question.  In addition, PSC Metals' Knoxville location was the subject of investigations by the State of Tennessee under the federal Superfund law. These investigations were performed by the State of Tennessee pursuant to a contract with the EPA. PSC Metals is exploring a potential settlement of the matter. Currently, PSC Metals cannot assess the impact of any cost or liability associated with these investigations. With respect to all other matters in which PSC Metals has been designated as a PRP under U.S. federal and state superfund laws, PSC Metals has reviewed the nature and extent of the allegations, the number, connection and financial ability of other named and unnamed PRPs and the nature and estimated cost of the likely remedy. Based on reviewing the nature and extent of the allegations, PSC Metals has estimated its liability to remediate these sites to be immaterial at each of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. If it is determined that PSC Metals has liability to remediate those sites and that more expensive remediation approaches are required in the future, PSC Metals could incur additional obligations, which could be material.
In November and December of 2011, PSC Metals received three notices of violation ("NOV") from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (“MDNR”) for hazardous waste and water violations related to its Festus, Missouri location. PSC Metals has entered into a settlement with MDNR that resolves these NOVs.  Currently, PSC Metals believes that it has

June 30, 2015 (Unaudited)

established adequate reserves for the cost of this settlement.  In addition, PSC Metals believes that it has a claim for indemnification against the prior owner of the facility associated with the above-referenced notices of violation. MDNR and PSC Metals, as part of the resolution of MDNR's NOVs, have undertaken sampling for lead at residences near PSC Metals' Festus yard. Approximately 67 residences were sampled and tested, and of those, approximately 15 tested above residential standards for lead contamination. PSC Metals has entered into a settlement agreement with MDNR which resolves MNDR’s claims and requires limited soil remediation at the 15 residences. PSC Metals is in the process of completing the final stages of the remediation required by the settlement agreement. Currently, PSC Metals believes that it has adequately reserved for the cost of remediation associated with its Festus yard and the residential areas near the yard. However, PSC Metals cannot assess its liability with certainty at this time. Additionally, PSC Metals believes that liability for off-site contamination was retained by the prior owner of the Festus yard and accordingly, it would have a claim for indemnification against the prior owner.
Railcar
On October 24, 2014, ARI filed a complaint in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Gyansys, Inc. ("Gyansys"). The complaint asserts a claim against Gyansys for breaching its contract with ARI to implement an enterprise resource planning system. ARI seeks to recover monetary damages in an amount still to be determined, but which ARI alleged exceeds $25 million. Gyansys filed a response to the suit denying its responsibility. It also counterclaimed against ARI for a breach of contract and wrongful termination, seeking damages in excess of $10 million and equitable relief. At this time, ARI does not have sufficient information to reasonably form an estimate of the potential outcome (gain or loss) of this litigation. However, ARI believes that Gyansys' counterclaims lack merit, and ARI has filed a motion to dismiss Gyansys' counterclaims in part.

Environmental Matters
WPH is subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, the discharge, storage, handling and disposal of a variety of hazardous and nonhazardous substances and wastes used in or resulting from its operations and potential remediation obligations. WPH's operations are also governed by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations relating to employee safety and health which, among other things, establish exposure limitation for cotton dust, formaldehyde, asbestos and noise, and which regulate chemical, physical and ergonomic hazards in the workplace. WPH estimated its environmental accruals to be approximately $1 million at both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
Other Matters
Mr. Icahn, through certain affiliates, owns 100% of Icahn Enterprises GP and approximately 88.7% of Icahn Enterprises' outstanding depositary units as of June 30, 2015. Applicable pension and tax laws make each member of a “controlled group” of entities, generally defined as entities in which there is at least an 80% common ownership interest, jointly and severally liable for certain pension plan obligations of any member of the controlled group. These pension obligations include ongoing contributions to fund the plan, as well as liability for any unfunded liabilities that may exist at the time the plan is terminated. In addition, the failure to pay these pension obligations when due may result in the creation of liens in favor of the pension plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") against the assets of each member of the controlled group.
As a result of the more than 80% ownership interest in us by Mr. Icahn’s affiliates, we and our subsidiaries are subject to the pension liabilities of entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80%. As a result of our ownership of more than 80% in our subsidiaries, we and our subsidiaries are subject to the pension liabilities of all entities in which Mr. Icahn has a direct or indirect ownership interest of at least 80%. ACF and Federal-Mogul, are the sponsors of several pension plans. All the minimum funding requirements of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006, for these plans have been met as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. If the plans were voluntarily terminated, they would be underfunded by approximately $500 million and $474 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These results are based on the most recent information provided by the plans’ actuaries. These liabilities could increase or decrease, depending on a number of factors, including future changes in benefits, investment returns, and the assumptions used to calculate the liability. As members of the controlled group, we would be liable for any failure of ACF and Federal-Mogul to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon a termination of the pension plans of ACF and Federal-Mogul. In addition, other entities now or in the future within the controlled group in which we are included may have pension plan obligations that are, or may become, underfunded and we

would be liable for any failure of such entities to make ongoing pension contributions or to pay the unfunded liabilities upon termination of such plans.
The current underfunded status of the pension plans of ACF and Federal-Mogul requires them to notify the PBGC of certain “reportable events,” such as if we cease to be a member of the ACF and Federal-Mogul controlled group, or if we make certain extraordinary dividends or stock redemptions. The obligation to report could cause us to seek to delay or reconsider the occurrence of such reportable events.
Starfire Holding Corporation ("Starfire") which is 99.4% owned by Mr. Icahn, has undertaken to indemnify us and our subsidiaries from losses resulting from any imposition of certain pension funding or termination liabilities that may be imposed on us and our subsidiaries or our assets as a result of being a member of the Icahn controlled group. The Starfire indemnity (which does not extend to pension liabilities of our subsidiaries that would be imposed on us as a result of our interest in these subsidiaries and not as a result of Mr. Icahn and his affiliates holding more than an 80% ownership interest in us, and as such would not extend to the unfunded pension termination liability for Federal-Mogul) provides, among other things, that so long as such contingent liabilities exist and could be imposed on us, Starfire will not make any distributions to its stockholders that would reduce its net worth to below $250 million. Nonetheless, Starfire may not be able to fund its indemnification obligations to us.

Distribution
On July 30, 2015, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.50 per depositary unit. The quarterly distribution is payable in either cash or additional depositary units, at the election of each depositary unit holder and will be paid on or about September 28, 2015 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2015. Depositary unit holders have until September 9, 2015 to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units; if a holder does not make an election, it will automatically be deemed to have elected to receive the dividend in cash. Depositary unit holders who elect to receive additional depositary units will receive units valued at the volume weighted average trading price of the units on NASDAQ during the 10 consecutive trading days ending September 23, 2015. No fractional depositary units will be issued pursuant to the dividend payment. Icahn Enterprises will make a cash payment in lieu of issuing fractional depositary units to any holders electing to receive depositary units. Any holders that would only be eligible to receive a fraction of a depositary unit based on the above calculation will receive a cash payment.
Automotive
On July 7, 2015, Federal-Mogul completed the purchase of certain engine components valve business assets of the TRW engine components business. The business was acquired through stock purchases for a base purchase price of approximately $56 million, funded primarily from the available Replacement Revolver Facility and subject to certain customary closing and post-closing adjustments. The purchase of TRW’s engine components valve business adds to the product line Federal-Mogul purchased on February 6, 2015, will be integrated into the product line and further enhances our Automotive segment's ability to support its customers to improve fuel economy and reduce emissions. This acquisition is not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion is intended to assist you in understanding our present business and the results of operations together with our present financial condition. This section should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015 (this "Report").
Overview
Introduction
Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises”) is a master limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987. Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises Holdings”) is a limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987. References to "we," "our" or "us" herein include both Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings and their subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
Icahn Enterprises owns a 99% limited partner interest in Icahn Enterprises Holdings. Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc. (“Icahn Enterprises GP”), which is owned and controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn, owns a 1% general partner interest in each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings as of June 30, 2015. Icahn Enterprises Holdings and its subsidiaries own substantially all of our assets and liabilities and conduct substantially all of our operations. Therefore, the financial results of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings are substantially the same, with differences relating primarily to debt, as discussed further in Note 10, "Debt," to the condensed consolidated financial statements, and to the allocation of the general partner interest, which is reflected as an aggregate 1.99% general partner interest in the financial statements of Icahn Enterprises. In addition to the above, Mr. Icahn and his affiliates owned 112,285,454, or approximately 88.7%, of Icahn Enterprises' outstanding depositary units as of June 30, 2015.
We are a diversified holding company owning subsidiaries currently engaged in the following continuing operating businesses: Investment, Automotive, Energy, Metals, Railcar, Gaming, Mining, Food Packaging, Real Estate and Home Fashion. We also report the results of our Holding Company, which includes the results of certain subsidiaries of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings (unless otherwise noted), and investment activity and expenses associated with the Holding Company.

Icahn Enterprises Holdings
Due to the structure of our business, the consolidated results of operations for Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings are substantially the same with minor differences primarily related to non-cash portions of interest expense that are only reflected in the results of operations for our Holding Company.

Overview
Our operating businesses are managed on a decentralized basis. Due to the structure of our business, we discuss the results of operations below by individual reporting segments. See Note 2, “Operating Units,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of each of our operating segments and Note 13, "Segment Reporting," for a reconciliation of each of our reporting segment's results of operations to our consolidated results.

Investment
Our Investment segment is comprised of various private investment funds, including Icahn Partners L.P. ("Icahn Partners") and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP ("Master Fund") (collectively, the "Investment Funds"), through which we invest our proprietary capital. We and certain of Mr. Icahn's wholly owned affiliates are the sole investors in the Investment Funds. Icahn Onshore LP and Icahn Offshore LP (together, the "General Partners") act as the general partner of Icahn Partners and the Master Fund, respectively. The General Partners provide investment advisory and certain administrative and back office services to the Investment Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Investment Funds are not offered to outside investors.
Mr. Icahn, along with his affiliates (excluding Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings), makes investments in the Investment Funds. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total fair market value of investments in the Investment Funds made by Mr. Icahn and his affiliates was approximately $5.4 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, representing approximately 54% and 53%, respectively, of the Investment Funds' assets under management.
Our Interests in the Investment Funds
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had investments with a fair market value of approximately $4.6 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, in the Investment Funds.
Our share of the Investment Funds' net income through our interests in the Investment Funds was $176 million and $501 million for three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, and $360 million and $506 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Returns

The Investment Funds' aggregate return was 3.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  During the second quarter of 2015, the Investment Funds' performance was driven by gains in long equity positions, primarily in a few of their largest core holdings, partially offset by losses in a few of their core holdings.
The Investment Funds' aggregate return was 10.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.  During the second quarter of 2014, the Investment Funds' performance was driven by their long equity positions, primarily in a few of their largest core

We conduct our Automotive segment through our majority ownership in Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation's ("Federal-Mogul") and wholly owned subsidiary, IEH Auto Holdings, LLC ("IEH Auto"), which acquired substantially all of the auto parts assets in the United States of Uni-Select, Inc. through an acquisition that was consummated during the second quarter of 2015.  See Note 2 , "Operating Units - Automotive," for further discussion of this acquisition. Intercompany transactions between Federal-Mogul and IEH Auto have been eliminated in consolidation and the discussion below are net of eliminations.
IEH Auto is a leading automotive parts distributor for domestic and imported vehicles and has 39 distribution centers and satellite locations and 240 corporate-owned jobber stores in the United States and supports a network of more than 2,000 independent wholesalers. IEH Auto operates independently of Federal-Mogul.
Federal-Mogul is comprised of two end-customer focused businesses, Powertrain and Motorparts. The Powertrain business focuses on original equipment products for automotive, heavy duty and industrial applications. The Motorparts business sells and distributes a broad portfolio of products in the global aftermarket, while also serving original equipment manufacturers with products including braking, chassis, wipers and other vehicle components.
Federal-Mogul's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q contain a detailed description of its business, products, industry, operating strategy and associated risks. Federal-Mogul's filings with the SEC are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Federal-Mogul is a leading global supplier of a broad range of components, accessories and systems to the automotive, small engine, heavy-duty, marine, railroad, agricultural, off-road, aerospace and energy, industrial and transport markets, including customers in both the original equipment manufacturers and servicers (“OE”) market and the replacement market (“aftermarket”). Federal-Mogul’s customers include the world’s largest automotive OEs and major distributors and retailers in the independent aftermarket. Geographically, Federal-Mogul derived 37% of its net sales in the United States and 63% internationally during the six months ended June 30, 2015. Federal-Mogul has operations in established markets including Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States, and emerging markets including Argentina, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Hungary, India, Korea, Mexico, Morocco, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Africa and Thailand. The attendant risks of Federal-Mogul's international operations are primarily related to currency fluctuations, changes in local economic and political conditions, and changes in laws and regulations.
On September 3, 2014, Federal-Mogul announced its plan to separate its Powertrain and Motorparts businesses into two independent, publicly-traded companies serving the global original equipment and aftermarket industries. The planned separation will be implemented through a tax-free distribution of Federal-Mogul’s Motorparts business to shareholders of Federal-Mogul Holdings Corporation. Completion of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including among


64


others, Federal-Mogul’s receipt of an IRS ruling or opinion of counsel to the effect that the distribution will qualify as a transaction that is generally tax-free for U.S. Federal Income tax purposes; as well as effectiveness of a Form 10 Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC. 
On February 24, 2015, Federal-Mogul announced that it would defer the previously announced spin-off of its Motorparts business to allow for the integration of its recently completed brake component, chassis and valvetrain acquisitions and to recognize the benefits of the strategic initiatives in its Motorparts business. Federal-Mogul's board of directors intends to revisit the timing of the spin-off prior to the end of December 31, 2015.  Meanwhile Federal-Mogul will continue to operate as two separate, independent businesses. No assurances can be given regarding the ultimate timing of the separation or that it will be consummated.

Net sales for our Automotive segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period increased by $144 million (8%), of which $79 million is attributable to Federal-Mogul (net of intercompany eliminations) and $65 million is attributable to the acquisition of IEH Auto during the second quarter of 2015.
Federal-Mogul was negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against several global currencies which resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $177 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, on a constant dollar basis, sales volumes increased by $256 million. This sales growth is comprised of an increase in Federal-Mogul's Powertrain business' external sales of $125 million, reflecting the inclusion of the TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.'s ("TRW") engine components business’ engine valve business as well as an increase in volume for the quarter. External sales in Federal-Mogul's Motorparts business increased by $131 million (net of intercompany eliminations), driven by the acquisition of the Affinia Group Inc. ("Affinia"), the acquisition of Honeywell International Inc.'s ("Honeywell") brake component business.
Federal-Mogul's Powertrain business generated approximately 70% of its sales outside of the United States and the resulting currency movements decreased sales by approximately $117 million. Therefore, on a constant dollar basis, external sales increased 13% compared to the second quarter of 2014. The increase in Federal-Mogul's Powertrain’s sales reflects the inclusion of the acquisition of certain assets of the TRW engine components business, which closed on February 6, 2015, as well as an increase in volume which increased sales by $125 million. This includes the impact of customer decreases of $8 million. When excluding the impact of sales from Federal-Mogul's TRW engine component valve acquisition, sales in North America decreased by 1%, while light vehicle production and commercial vehicle production increased by 3% and 9%, respectively. In Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), sales increased by 4% compared to a 1% increase in light vehicle production and a 2% decrease in commercial vehicle production. Federal-Mogul's Powertrain sales in the rest of the world ("ROW") increased by 1% compared to a 1% decrease in light vehicle production and a decrease in commercial vehicle production of 7%.
In Federal-Mogul's Motorparts business, external sales volumes increased by $131 million on a constant dollar basis (net of intercompany eliminations). This increase was primarily related to Federal-Mogul's Honeywell braking and the Affinia chassis component acquisitions, combined with a 3% increase in its underlying business. On a comparable basis, excluding the impacts of foreign currency exchange and acquisitions, Federal-Mogul's Motoparts sales in North America increased by 4%, mainly driven by an increase in sales to the U.S. and Canada aftermarket. Federal-Mogul's Motorparts' sales in EMEA, at constant foreign exchange rates and excluding the impact of acquisitions, decreased by 1.5%, including a 1% increase in Federal-Mogul's Western Europe aftermarket sales and a $2 million reduction in sales to the Russian aftermarket. At constant foreign exchange rates, Federal-Mogul's Motoparts' sales in ROW increased by 39%, primarily due to its Honeywell acquisition as well as continued growth in the China and aftermarket business driven by its product line and customer expansion.
The IEH Auto acquisition contributed $65 million in net sales during the second quarter of 2015. IEH Auto is a service organization engaged in the distribution of automotive aftermarket parts. Through its locations, IEH Auto sells predominantly to commercial aftermarket customers as well as the retail and do-it-yourself ("DIY") customers.
Cost of goods sold for our Automotive segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period increased by $132 million (8%). The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volumes in Federal-Mogul's Powertrain and Motorparts businesses, reflecting the inclusion of its TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.'s ("TRW) engine component business as well as the inclusion of the IEH Auto acquisition.
Gross margin for our Automotive segment for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $12 million (4%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was 15% and 16% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales over the respective periods was due to unfavorable currency impact and strategic initiative costs in Federal-Mogul's Motorparts business.


65


Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for our Automotive segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period increased by $200 million (5%), of which $135 million is attributable to Federal-Mogul (net of intercompany eliminations) and $65 million is attributable to the acquisition of IEH Auto during the second quarter of 2015.
Federal-Mogul's net sales were negatively impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against several global currencies which resulted in an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $337 million. Excluding the impact of foreign currency, on a constant dollar basis, Federal-Mogul's sales volumes increased by $472 million, net of customer price reductions of $4 million. This sales growth is comprised of an increase in Federal-Mogul's Powertrain business' external sales of $238 million, reflecting the inclusion of its TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.'s ("TRW") engine components business’ engine valve business as well as an increase in volume for the quarter. External sales in Federal-Mogul's Motorparts business increased by $234 million (net of intercompany eliminations), driven by the acquisition of the Affinia Group Inc. ("Affinia"), the acquisition of Honeywell International Inc.'s ("Honeywell") brake component business.
Federal-Mogul's Powertrain business generated approximately 70% of its sales outside of the United States and the resulting currency movements decreased sales by approximately $228 million. Therefore, on a constant dollar basis, Federal-Mogul's Powertrain external sales increased 12% compared to the same period in 2014. The increase in Federal-Mogul's Powertrain’s sales reflects the inclusion of the acquisition of certain assets of the TRW engine components business, which closed on February 6, 2015, as well as increases in volume and market share gains which together, increased sales by $238 million. This includes the impact of customer price decreases of $15 million. When excluding the impact of sales from the acquisition of certain assets of Federal-Mogul's TRW engine components business, sales in North America increased by 1%, while light vehicle production and commercial vehicle production increased by 3% and 13%, respectively. In EMEA, Federal-Mogul's Powertrain sales increased by 3% compared to a 3% increase in light vehicle production and a 1% decrease in commercial vehicle production. Federal-Mogul's Powertrain sales in ROW increased by 1% compared to flat light vehicle production and a decrease in commercial vehicle production of 12%.
Excluding the unfavorable currency impact of $109 million, Federal-Mogul's Motorparts' sales increased by $234 million on a constant dollar basis (net of intercompany eliminations). This increase was primarily due to additional sales related to Federal-Mogul's Honeywell braking and Affinia chassis component acquisitions. On a comparable basis, excluding exchange and the impact of acquisitions, Federal-Mogul's Motorparts' sales in North America increased by 1% and EMEA sales decreased by 1%. Federal-Moguls' Motorparts' sales in ROW increased by 38%, primarily due its Honeywell acquisition as well as continued growth in the China and India Aftermarket businesses driven by product line and customer expansion.
The IEH Auto acquisition contributed $65 million in net sales during the six months ended June 30, 2015. IEH Auto is a service organization engaged in the distribution of automotive aftermarket parts. Through its locations, IEH Auto sells predominantly to commercial aftermarket customers as well as the retail and DIY customers.
Cost of goods sold for our Automotive segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period increased by $210 million (7%). The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volumes in both Federal-Mogul's Powertrain and Motorparts businesses, reflecting the inclusion of the acquisitions of the TRW engine component business, the Affinia chasis business as well as the Honeywell brake component business. In addition, cost of goods sold increased due to the inclusion of the IEH Auto acquisition.
Gross margin for our Automotive segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $10 million (2%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin was 15% and 16% of net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales over the respective periods was due to unfavorable currency impact and strategic initiative costs in Federal-Mogul's Motorparts business.

CVR Energy, Inc.'s ("CVR") Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q contain a detailed description of its business, products, industry, operating strategy and associated risks. CVR's filings with the SEC are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.


67


As of June 30, 2015, we owned 82% of the total outstanding common stock of CVR. In addition, as of June 30, 2015, we owned approximately 4.0% of the total outstanding common stock of CVR Refining, LP ("CVR Refining").
CVR is a diversified holding company primarily engaged in the petroleum refining and nitrogen fertilizer manufacturing industries through its holdings in CVR Refining and CVR Partners, LP (“CVR Partners”), respectively. CVR Refining is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer of high value transportation fuels. CVR Partners produces and markets nitrogen fertilizers in the form of urea ammonium nitrate ("UAN") and ammonia.
Major Influences on Results of Operations
Our Energy segment's earnings and cash flows from its petroleum operations are primarily affected by the relationship between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil and other feedstocks. In the nitrogen fertilizer business, earnings and cash flows from operations are primarily affected by the relationship among nitrogen fertilizer product prices, on-stream factors and direct operating expenses.
The earnings and cash flows of the petroleum business are primarily affected by the relationship between refined product prices and the prices for crude oil and other feedstocks that are processed and blended into refined products. The cost to acquire crude oil and other feedstocks and the price for which refined products are ultimately sold depend on factors beyond its control, including the supply of and demand for crude oil, as well as gasoline and other refined products which, in turn, depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive fuels and the extent of government regulation. Because the petroleum business applies first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) accounting to value its inventory, crude oil price movements may impact net income in the short term because of changes in the value of its unhedged on-hand inventory. The effect of changes in crude oil prices on our results of operations is influenced by the rate at which the prices of refined products adjust to reflect these changes.
The prices of crude oil and other feedstocks and refined product prices are also affected by other factors, such as product pipeline capacity, local market conditions and the operating levels of competing refineries. Crude oil costs and the prices of refined products have historically been subject to wide fluctuations. Widespread expansion or upgrades of competitors’ facilities, price volatility, international political and economic developments and other factors are likely to continue to play an important role in refining industry economics. These factors can impact, among other things, the level of inventories in the market, resulting in price volatility and a reduction in product margins. Moreover, the refining industry typically experiences seasonal fluctuations in demand for refined products, such as increases in the demand for gasoline during the summer driving season and for home heating oil during the winter, primarily in the Northeast. In addition to current market conditions, there are long-term factors that may impact the demand for refined products. These factors include mandated renewable fuels standards, proposed climate change laws and regulations, and increased mileage standards for vehicles. The petroleum business is also subject to the Renewable Fuel Standard (“RFS”) of the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), which requires it to either blend “renewable fuels” in with its transportation fuels or purchase renewable fuel credits, known as renewable identification numbers (“RINs”), in lieu of blending.
The EPA is required to determine and publish the applicable annual renewable fuel percentage standards for each compliance year by November 30 for the forthcoming year. The percentage standards represent the ratio of renewable fuel volume to gasoline and diesel volume. Beginning in 2011, the Coffeyville refinery was required to blend renewable fuels into its gasoline and diesel fuel or purchase RINs in lieu of blending. In 2013, the Wynnewood refinery was subject to the RFS for the first time.
On June 10, 2015, the EPA published the proposed annual percentage standards for 2014, 2015 and 2016 under the RFS program. For each year, the proposed volumes for cellulosic, advanced biofuel and renewable fuel are lower than the statutorily mandated volumes. However, the proposed volumes for biomass-based diesel are above the statutorily mandated volumes. The EPA is proposing to set the volume requirements for 2014 at the levels that were actually used in 2014. For 2015 and 2016, the EPA is proposing to increase the volume requirements above 2014 levels. In the same proposed rule, the EPA also published the proposed annual biomass-based diesel volume requirement for 2017. The EPA expects to finalize the proposed volumes by November 30, 2015.
The cost of RINs for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $38 million and $29 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $74 million and $64 million, respectively. The current and future cost of RINs for our Energy segment's petroleum business will be more accurately defined by the November 30, 2015 ruling. The future cost of RINs for our Energy segment's petroleum business is difficult to estimate. Additionally, the cost of RINs is dependent upon a variety of factors, which include EPA regulations, the availability of RINs for purchase, the price at which RINs can be purchased, transportation fuel production levels, the mix of our Energy segment's petroleum business' petroleum products, as well as the fuel blending performed at its refineries and downstream terminals, all of which can vary significantly from quarter to quarter. Based upon recent market prices of RINs and current estimates related to the other variable factors, our


68


Energy segment's petroleum business currently estimates that the total cost of RINs will be approximately $110 million to $150 million for the year ending December 31, 2015.
Refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel is a measurement calculated as the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization, direct operating expenses and fair value inventory adjustments) and refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel adjusted for FIFO impact is a measurement calculated as the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization, direct operating expenses and fair value inventory adjustments) adjusted for FIFO impacts. Refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact are non-GAAP measures that we believe are important to investors in evaluating our Energy segment refineries' performance as a general indication of the amount above our Energy segment's cost of goods sold (taking into account the impact of utilization of FIFO) they are able to sell refined products. We believe that refining margin and refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel is important to enable investors to better understand and evaluate our Energy segment's ongoing operating results and allow for greater transparency in the review of our overall financial, operational and economic performance. In addition, we believe that presenting refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel adjusted for FIFO impact is useful to investors because this measure more accurately reflects the current operating environment.
In order to derive the refining margin per crude oil throughput barrel, our Energy segment utilizes the total dollar figures for refining margin, as derived above, and divides that by the applicable number of crude oil throughput barrels for the period. Our Energy segment's calculation of refining margin and refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact may differ from calculations of other companies in the industry, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Under our Energy segment's FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of our Energy segment's crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in favorable FIFO impacts when crude oil prices increase and unfavorable FIFO impacts when crude oil prices decrease.
In order to assess the operating performance of the nitrogen fertilizer business, CVR calculates the product pricing at gate as an input to determine its operating margin. Product pricing at gate represents net sales less freight revenue divided by product sales volume in tons. CVR believes product pricing at gate is a meaningful measure because it sells products at its plant gate and terminal locations' gates ("sold gate") and delivered to the customer's designated delivery site ("sold delivered"). The relative percentage of sold gate versus sold delivered can change period to period. The product pricing at gate provides a measure that is consistently comparable period to period.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the petroleum business, before eliminations, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to approximately $1.5 billion from $2.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in net sales for the petroleum business was largely the result of lower sales prices for the petroleum business' transportation fuels and by-products in addition to a small decrease in sales volumes. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, CVR's petroleum business sold approximately 10.3 million and 9.0 million barrels of gasoline and distillate, respectively, with an average sales price per gallon for gasoline and distillate of $1.87 and $1.81, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, CVR's petroleum business sold approximately 10.4 million and 8.9 million barrels of gasoline and distillate, respectively, with an average sales price per gallon for gasoline and distillate of $2.87 and $2.97, respectively.
Net sales for the fertilizer business, before eliminations, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased to $81 million from $78 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net sales for the fertilizer business was primarily due to an increase in sales volume of UAN and ammonia. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, CVR sold 249,790 and 6,307 tons of UAN and ammonia, respectively, with a sales price per ton of $299 and $560, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, CVR sold 239,216 and 2,854 tons of UAN and ammonia, respectively, with a sales price per ton of $311 and $542, respectively. On-stream factors (total number of hours operated divided by total hours in the reporting period) for the gasification, ammonia and UAN units were 100%, 99.3% and 96.6%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 94.2%, 88.1% and 85.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Cost of goods sold for the petroleum business for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $1.3 billion and $2.3 billion, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the petroleum business includes cost of crude oil, other feedstocks and blendstocks, purchased products for resale, RINs, transportation distribution costs, costs associated with the actual operations of CVR's refineries (such costs are collectively referred to as "direct operating expenses") such as energy and utility costs, property taxes, catalyst and chemical costs, repairs and maintenance and labor and environmental compliance costs. In addition, cost of goods sold includes depreciation and amortization.
The decrease in cost of sales for the petroleum business was primarily due to a decrease in cost of consumed crude oil and products purchased for resale. The average cost per barrel of crude oil consumed for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $54.60 compared to $101.82 for the comparable period of 2014, a decrease of approximately 46%. The impact of FIFO accounting also impacted cost of product sold during the comparable periods. Under the FIFO accounting method, changes in


69


crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable FIFO inventory impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable FIFO inventory impact when crude oil prices decrease. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, the petroleum business had an favorable FIFO inventory impact of $37 million compared to a favorable FIFO inventory impact of $24 million for the comparable prior year period.
Refining margin per barrel of crude oil throughput increased to $19.12 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $15.22 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact increased to $17.22 per crude oil throughput barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $13.96 per crude oil throughput barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Gross margin per barrel increased to $13.66 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to gross margin per barrel of $8.40 in the comparable prior year period. The increase in refining margin and gross margin per barrel was primarily due to a stronger spread between crude oil and transportation fuel prices.
The fertilizer business' cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to $51 million from $57 million the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower distribution costs mostly due to the decrease in railcar regulatory inspections and repairs and ammonia purchases. Cost of goods sold for the fertilizer business is primarily comprised of pet coke expense, freight expense, distribution expense, purchased ammonia costs, direct operating expenses and depreciation and amortization.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the petroleum business, before eliminations, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to approximately $2.9 billion from $4.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in net sales for the petroleum business was largely the result of lower sales prices for the petroleum business' transportation fuels and by-products in addition to a small decrease in sales volumes. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, CVR's petroleum business sold approximately 21.1 million and 17.2 million barrels of gasoline and distillate, respectively, with an average sales price per gallon for gasoline and distillate of $1.67 and $1.75, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, CVR's petroleum business sold approximately 20.3 million and 18.1 million barrels of gasoline and distillate, respectively, with an average sales price per gallon for gasoline and distillate of $2.77 and $2.98, respectively.
Net sales for the fertilizer business, before eliminations, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to $174 million from $157 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net sales for the fertilizer business was primarily due to an increase in sales volume of UAN and ammonia. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, CVR sold 524,330 and 19,128 tons of UAN and ammonia, respectively, with a sales price per ton of $293 and $562, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, CVR sold 493,886 and 8,301 tons of UAN and ammonia, respectively, with a sales price per ton of $295 and $511, respectively. On-stream factors (total number of hours operated divided by total hours in the reporting period) for the gasification, ammonia and UAN units were 99.7%, 96.9% and 97.2%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 96.5%, 90.1% and 91.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Cost of goods sold for the petroleum business for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $2.5 billion and $4.5 billion, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the petroleum business includes cost of crude oil, other feedstocks and blendstocks, purchased products for resale, RINs, transportation distribution costs, costs associated with the actual operations of CVR's refineries (such costs are collectively referred to as "direct operating expenses") such as energy and utility costs, property taxes, catalyst and chemical costs, repairs and maintenance and labor and environmental compliance costs. In addition, cost of goods sold includes depreciation and amortization.
The decrease in cost of sales for the petroleum business was primarily due to a decrease in cost of consumed crude oil and products purchased for resale. The average cost per barrel of crude oil consumed for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $51.15 compared to $98.96 for the comparable period of 2014, a decrease of approximately 48%. The impact of FIFO accounting also impacted cost of product sold during the comparable periods. Under the FIFO accounting method, changes in crude oil prices can cause fluctuations in the inventory valuation of crude oil, work in process and finished goods, thereby resulting in a favorable FIFO inventory impact when crude oil prices increase and an unfavorable FIFO inventory impact when crude oil prices decrease. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the petroleum business had an favorable FIFO inventory impact of $12 million compared to a favorable FIFO inventory impact of $46 million for the corresponding prior year period.
Refining margin per barrel of crude oil throughput increased to $16.47 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $16.17 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Refining margin adjusted for FIFO impact increased to $16.15 per crude oil throughput barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $14.95 per crude oil throughput barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Gross margin per barrel increased to $10.21 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to gross margin per barrel of $9.02 in the corresponding prior year period. The increase in refining margin and gross margin per barrel was primarily due to a stronger spread between crude oil and transportation fuel prices.


70


The fertilizer business' cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to $111 million from $112 million, respectively. Cost of goods sold for the fertilizer business is primarily comprised of pet coke expense, freight expense, distribution expense, purchased ammonia costs, direct operating expenses and depreciation and amortization.

The scrap metals business is highly cyclical and is substantially dependent upon the overall economic conditions in the U.S. and other global markets. Ferrous and non-ferrous scrap have been historically vulnerable to significant declines in consumption and product pricing during prolonged periods of economic downturn or stagnation. 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $85 million (45%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipment volumes and price of ferrous and non-ferrous for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period.
Ferrous shipments decreased by 88,000 gross tons (27%) while the average price decreased by $132 per gross ton (35%) during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The shipment decrease was attributable to reduced demand from domestic steel mills, where a certain third-party report indicated that steel output was 9% lower for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period. Lower ferrous market prices in the second quarter of 2015 continued to negatively impact the availability of feedstock.
Non-ferrous shipment volumes decreased by 3.1 million pounds (9%) and average selling prices for non-ferrous decreased $0.14 per pound (16%) during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily due to weaker global demand and pricing.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $81 million (42%) compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipment volumes, lower material costs and lower processing costs. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was a loss of 7% and 2% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. While material margin as a percentage of net sales improved during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period, reflecting improved buying efforts, this was offset by increased processing costs as a percentage of net sales due to decrease in sales volumes over the respective periods.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $168 million (45%) compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipment volumes and price of ferrous and non-ferrous for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Ferrous shipments decreased by 177,000 gross tons (29%) while the average price decreased by $112 per gross ton (28%) during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period. The shipment decrease was attributable to reduced demand from domestic steel mills, to low iron ore pricing, and to the negative impact of lower prices on the availability of feedstock.
Non-ferrous shipment volumes decreased by 10.5 million pounds (14%) and average selling prices for non-ferrous decreased $0.13 per pound (15%) during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the prior year period, primarily


71


due to weaker global market demand and pricing. Sixty-seven percent of the year-on-year decrease in shipment volumes was attributed to the closing of our Metals segment's aluminum ingot tolling operations during the first quarter of 2014.
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $157 million (41%) compared to the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to lower shipment volumes, lower material costs and lower processing costs. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was a loss of 8% and 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. While material margin as a percentage of net sales improved during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period, reflecting improved buying efforts, this was offset by increased processing costs as a percentage of net sales due to decrease in sales volumes over the respective periods. Efforts continue to bring costs in line with lower volumes and market pricing.

Our Railcar segment includes the results of American Railcar Industries, Inc. ("ARI") and American Railcar Leasing, LLC ("ARL"). Manufacturing net sales and cost of goods sold above include intra-segment net sales and related cost of goods sold for railcars sold by our Railcar segment to its railcar leasing business. Elimination amounts represent eliminations of intra-segment net sales and related cost of goods sold and gross margin for our Railcar segment.
ARI's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q contain a detailed description of its business, products, industry, operating strategy and associated risks. ARI's filings with the SEC are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
The North American railcar market has been, and we expect it to continue to be, highly cyclical. Our Railcar segment continues to see inquiries for pressure and general service tank railcars, as well as inquiries for hopper railcars servicing various commodities in the non-energy related markets. In contrast, demand for railcars servicing the energy markets remains uncertain, given the recent volatility in oil prices, as well as the release of new regulations related to tank railcars in the U.S. and Canada. As a result, certain customers have delayed ordering any energy related railcars, including tank railcars for crude service and hopper railcars for sand service.
Our Railcar segment continues to believe its efforts to increase flexibility at its plants while focusing on its core business of tank and hopper railcar manufacturing will position it to meet any increase in demand for new railcars, as well as retrofit and


72


maintenance work to existing railcars that may result from these new regulations. Our Railcar segment cannot assure you of the impact of this regulatory change affecting the North American railcar industry or our Railcar segment's business. Similarly, our Railcar segment cannot assure you that hopper or tank railcar demand will continue at current levels, that demand for any railcar types or railcar services will improve, or that its railcar backlog, orders or shipments will track industry-wide trends.
Railcar shipments for the three months ended June 30, 2015 were 2,397 railcars, including 1,756 railcars to leasing customers, as compared to 2,140 railcars for the comparable prior year period, including 1,020 railcars to leasing customers.
Railcar shipments for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were 5,065 railcars, including 3,533 railcars to leasing customers, as compared to 3,750 railcars for the comparable prior year period, including 1,720 railcars to leasing customers.
As of June 30, 2015, our Railcar segment had a backlog of 8,454 railcars, including 2,059 railcars for lease customers. In response to changes in customer demand, our Railcar segment continues to adjust production rates at its railcar manufacturing facilities.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Total manufacturing revenues, before elimination of estimated railcar sales to our Railcar segment's leasing business, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was flat at $268 million as compared to the comparable prior year period.
Gross margin from manufacturing operations, before eliminations relating to railcar sales to our Railcar segment's leasing business, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased to $72 million from $65 million as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin from manufacturing operations as a percentage of manufacturing revenues increased to 27% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 24% for the corresponding prior year period. The higher gross margin percentage over the respective period was primarily due to stronger efficiencies and favorable pricing, partially offset by a shift in sales mix to a higher concentration of hopper railcars that generally sell at lower prices than tank railcars due to less material and labor content.
Railcar leasing revenues increased for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to an increase in number of railcars leased to customers and an increase in the average lease rate. The lease fleet grew from 37,070 railcars at June 30, 2014 to 43,484 railcars at June 30, 2015.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Total manufacturing revenues, before elimination of estimated railcar sales to our Railcar segment's leasing business, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $88 million (18%) over the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher hopper railcar shipments, partially offset by lower tank railcar shipments in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period.
Gross margin from manufacturing operations, before eliminations relating to railcar sales to our Railcar segment's leasing business, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to $145 million from $121 million as compared to the prior year period. Gross margin from manufacturing operations as a percentage of manufacturing revenues was flat at 25% for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Railcar leasing revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period due to an increase in number of railcars leased to customers and an increase in the average lease rate. The lease fleet grew from 37,070 railcars at June 30, 2014 to 43,484 railcars at June 30, 2015.

Other Segments
Gaming
Gaming revenues and expenses are classified in other revenues from operations and other expenses from operations, respectively, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Tropicana's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q contain a detailed description of its business, products, industry, operating strategy and associated risks. Tropicana's filings with the SEC are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Casino revenues are one of Tropicana's main performance indicators and account for a significant portion of its net revenues. In addition, casino revenues can vary because of table games hold percentage and differences in the odds for different table games. High end play may lead to greater fluctuations in table games hold percentage and, as a result, greater revenue fluctuation between reporting periods may occur.


73


Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Our Gaming segment's net casino revenues decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to the sale of the River Palms property in Laughlin, Nevada in 2014 and lower slot volumes in properties located in the central region, offset in part by a reduction in promotional gaming credits redeemed in properties located in central and east regions, as further discussed below.
Net revenues from Tropicana Casino and Resort, Atlantic City (“Tropicana AC”) comprise approximately 41% and 39% of our Gaming segment's net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Based on market data, the Atlantic City market experienced year-over-year declines in gross casino win of 10.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Tropicana AC casino revenues increased in the three months ended June 30, 2015 due primarily to the closure of four casino properties in Atlantic City during 2014; a comparison of year-over-year gross casino win for the remaining eight properties reflects a 2.6% increase in revenues in the Atlantic City market. 
Tropicana AC's gross casino win increased 1.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period as a result of increased customer volumes. In addition, promotional gaming credits redeemed at Tropicana AC were reduced by 16.0% during that time period; as a result, total net casino revenue (after deducting promotional gaming credits) at Tropicana AC has increased 4.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same period of 2014. Internet gaming revenues also increased during the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Several renovation and construction projects at Tropicana AC were completed during the three months ended June 30, 2015, including hotel room and casino floor renovations, boardwalk facade renovations and the opening of a new fitness center.
Revenues from rooms decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to the sale of the River Palms property in 2014, as well as disruption at the MontBleu Casino Resort & Spa from an ongoing rooms renovation project which impacted business, partially offset by increases in both occupancy and average daily room rate at Tropicana AC.  The average daily room rate and occupancy across all of Tropicana's gaming properties were $84 and 73%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $78 and 67%, respectively, for the comparable prior year period.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Our Gaming segment's net casino revenues increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the comparable prior year period primarily due to an increase in consolidated gaming volumes of 8.3%, primarily due to the inclusion of Lumière acquisition in April 2014, coupled with higher gaming volumes at Tropicana AC and Tropicana Laughlin Hotel and Casino ("Tropicana Laughlin"). Tropicana's consolidated gross slot hold percentage was 9.6% and 9.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Tropicana's consolidated table game hold percentage was 17.0% and 17.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Net revenues from Tropicana AC comprise approximately 38% and 40% of our Gaming segment's net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  Based on market data, the Atlantic City market experienced year-over-year declines in gross casino win of 10.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to the closure of four casino properties in Atlantic City during 2014; a comparison of year-over-year revenues for the remaining eight properties reflects a 4.2% increase in gross casino win in the Atlantic City market. Tropicana AC's gross casino win increased 5.3 % in the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period as a result of increased customer volumes. Several renovation and construction projects at Tropicana AC were completed during the six months ended June 30, 2015, including hotel room and casino floor renovations, boardwalk facade renovations and the opening of a new fitness center.
Revenues from rooms increased for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding prior year period, primarily due to the acquisition of the Lumière in April 2014.  The average daily room rate and occupancy across all of Tropicana's gaming properties were $82 and 70%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $72 and 63%, respectively, for the comparable prior year period.
Mining
As discussed in Note 2, "Operating Units - Mining," we obtained control, and consolidated, the results of Ferrous Resources Limited ("Ferrous Resources"), which represents our Mining segment, during the second quarter of 2015.
For our Mining segment, the key performance driver has historically been from demand for raw materials from Chinese steelmakers.  For the one month ended June 30, 2015, our Mining segment has been concentrating on sales in its domestic market, Brazil, where the best margins are being captured. During the first half of 2015, both domestic and global steel industries continue to show weakness as steel mills' utilization rates have declined and prices have collapsed. Our Mining segment expects 2015 to be a challenging year for the steel industry as it contends with slowing growth, overcapacity and increased competition.


74


Net sales for the one month ended June 30, 2015 was $6 million. Cost of goods sold for the one month ended June 30, 2015 was $6 million.
During the month ended June 30, 2015, our Mining segment focused its sales efforts exclusively within its domestic market, Brazil. During the one month ended June 30, 2015, 318,472 tonnes of iron ore were sold, of which 300,629 tonnes were sold to a single customer, a Brazilian multinational diversified metals and mining corporation and one of the largest logistics operators in Brazil, and 17,843 tonnes were sold to other small steel producers. The average sales price was $21.67 per tonne. Our Mining segment continues to evaluate the best alternatives to sell its products in light of the challenging markets for iron ore. In recent months, the best margins are being captured on sales to our Mining segment's domestic market, Brazil.
Food Packaging
Viskase Companies, Inc. ("Viskase") currently operates nine manufacturing facilities and six distribution centers throughout North America, Europe, South America and Asia and derives approximately 69% of its total net sales from customers located outside the United States.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $2 million (2%) as compared to the comparable prior year period, with a $9 million decrease due to unfavorable foreign currency translation and $1 million due to unfavorable price and product mix, offset in part by $8 million increase due to higher sales volumes.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $2 million (3%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percent of net sales was 26% for each of the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $5 million (3%) as compared to the comparable prior year period, with a $13 million decrease due to unfavorable foreign currency translation and $2 million due to unfavorable price and product mix, offset in part by $10 million increase due to higher sales volumes.
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased by $2 million (1%) as compared to the comparable prior year period. Gross margin as a percent of net sales was 24% and 25% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decline in the gross margin as a percent of net sales over the comparable period was due to increased pension expense.
Real Estate
Real Estate revenues and expenses include results from resort operations, sales of residential units and rental income and expenses, including income from financing leases. Sales of residential units are included in net sales in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Results from resort and rental operations, including financing lease income, are included in other revenues from operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue from our real estate operations for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were substantially derived from our resort and rental operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we sold two commercial rental properties and Oak Harbor development and operations, which historically operated as part of Grand Harbor.
Home Fashion
The business of WestPoint Home LLC ("WPH") is significantly influenced by the overall economic environment, including consumer spending, at the retail level, for home textile products. Many of the larger retailers are customers of WPH.  WPH will continue to realign its manufacturing operations and streamline its merchandising, sales and customer service divisions to improve its cost structure and better serve its customers. Given the uncertainty and volatility in macroeconomic conditions, we cannot predict if WPH's financial performance will continue to improve.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $6 million (13%) compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volume. Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $7 million (18%) compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 14% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 16% for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to a sell-off and write-down of aging inventory.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $11 million (13%) compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in sales volume. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $10 million (13%) compared to the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher


75


sales volume. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 14% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 15% for the comparable prior year period.
Holding Company
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net loss from investment activities decreased to $18 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $24 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to unrealized losses from certain swap agreements that were terminated during the third quarter of 2014.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Net loss from investment activities decreased to $32 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $45 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to unrealized losses from certain swap agreements that were terminated during the third quarter of 2014.

76


Restructuring
Our consolidated restructuring costs were $27 million and $30 million for three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which were attributable to our Automotive segment. Our consolidated restructuring costs were $39 million and $38 million for six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which were attributable to our Automotive segment.
Restructuring expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 primarily relate to the reshaping of Federal-Mogul's aftermarket distribution network in Europe and separation programs in various European countries, primarily Germany, aimed at integrating the recently acquired Honeywell braking component locations. Federal-Mogul expects to complete these programs in 2018 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $30 million in connection therewith. For programs previously initiated, Federal-Mogul expects to complete these programs in 2016 and incur additional restructuring and other charges of approximately $15 million.
Interest Expense
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Our consolidated interest expense during the three months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $90 million (46%) as compared the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense from our Investment segment attributable to due to broker balances over the respective periods, higher interest expense from our Automotive segment due to higher outstanding debt balances on its revolver facility coupled with higher interest rates following the refinancing of its term loans over the respective periods and higher interest expense from our Railcar segments due to higher outstanding debt balances over the respective periods.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
Our consolidated interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $190 million (52%) as compared the corresponding prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher interest expense from our Investment segment attributable to due to broker balances over the respective periods, higher interest expense from our Automotive segment due to higher outstanding debt balances on its revolver facility coupled with higher interest rates following the refinancing of its term loans over the respective periods and higher interest expense from our Railcar segments due to higher outstanding debt balances over the respective periods.
Income Tax Expense
Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
For the three months ended June 30, 2015, each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings recorded an income tax expense of $113 million on pre-tax income of $654 million compared to an income tax expense of $82 million on pre-tax income of $1,205 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective income tax rate was 17.3% and 6.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
For each of the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory federal rate of 35%, primarily due to partnership income not subject to taxation, as such taxes are the responsibility of the partners.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, each of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings recorded an income tax expense of $162 million on pre-tax income of $1,125 million compared to an income tax expense of $185 million on pre-tax income of $1,385 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our effective income tax rate was 14.4% and 13.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
For each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory federal rate of 35%, primarily due to partnership income not subject to taxation, as such taxes are the responsibility of the partners.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Holding Company
As of June 30, 2015, the Holding Company had investments in the Investment Funds with a total fair market value of approximately $4.6 billion. As of June 30, 2015, our Holding Company had cash and cash equivalents of $222 million and total debt of approximately $5.5 billion.
We are a holding company. Our cash flow and our ability to meet our debt service obligations and make distributions with respect to depositary units likely will depend on the cash flow resulting from divestitures, equity and debt financings, interest income, returns on our interests in the Investment Funds and the payment of funds to us by our subsidiaries in the form of loans, dividends and distributions. We may pursue various means to raise cash from our subsidiaries. To date, such means


77


include receipt of dividends from subsidiaries, obtaining loans or other financings based on the asset values of subsidiaries or selling debt or equity securities of subsidiaries through capital market transactions. To the degree any distributions and transfers are impaired or prohibited, our ability to make payments on our debt or distributions on our depositary units could be limited. The operating results of our subsidiaries may not be sufficient for them to make distributions to us. In addition, our subsidiaries are not obligated to make funds available to us, and distributions and intercompany transfers from our subsidiaries to us may be restricted by applicable law or covenants contained in debt agreements and other agreements.
As of June 30, 2015 based on covenants in the indenture governing our senior notes, we could incur approximately $1.2 billion in additional indebtedness. See Note 10, “Debt,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning credit facilities for us and our subsidiaries.
We have from time to time considered and continue to explore the possibility of seeding one or more private investment fund managers and investing some of our proprietary capital in their funds. There can be no assurance that any such transactions will be completed.
Distributions on Depositary Units
On February 20, 2015, Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.50 per depositary unit in which each depositary unit holder had the option to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units. As a result, on April 22, 2015, Icahn Enterprises distributed an aggregate 1,713,935 depositary units to unit holders electing to receive depositary units in connection with this distribution.
On May 5, 2015, Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.50 per depositary unit in which each depositary unit holder had the option to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units. As a result, on June 30, 2015, Icahn Enterprises distributed an aggregate 1,825,930 depositary units to unit holders electing to receive depositary units in connection with this distribution.
On July 30, 2015, the Board of Directors of the general partner of Icahn Enterprises declared a quarterly distribution in the amount of $1.50 per depositary unit, which will be paid on or about September 28, 2015 to depositary unit holders of record at the close of business on August 17, 2015. Depositary unit holders have until September 9, 2015 to make an election to receive either cash or additional depositary units; if a holder does not make an election, it will automatically be deemed to have elected to receive the dividend in cash. Depositary unit holders who elect to receive additional depositary units will receive units valued at the volume weighted average trading price of the units on NASDAQ during the 10 consecutive trading days ending September 23, 2015. No fractional depositary units will be issued pursuant to the dividend payment. Icahn Enterprises will make a cash payment in lieu of issuing fractional depositary units to any holders electing to receive depositary units. Any holders that would only be eligible to receive a fraction of a depositary unit based on the above calculation will receive a cash payment.

Contractual Commitments and Contingencies
Other than the financing transaction discussed below, there have been no material changes to our contractual commitments and contingencies as compared to those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In January 2015, ARI refinanced its existing lease fleet financing facilities to, among other things, increase the aggregate borrowings thereunder. In connection with the refinancing, a certain subsidiary of ARI completed a private placement of $626 million in aggregate principal amount of notes. Of the aggregate principal amount, $409 million was used to refinance existing lease fleet financing facilities, resulting in net proceeds of $212 million. The ARI 2015 Notes (as defined below) have a legal final maturity date of January 17, 2045 and an expected principal repayment date of January 15, 2025. See Note 10, "Debt - Railcar," for further discussion regarding this refinancing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have off-balance sheet risk related to investment activities associated with certain financial instruments, including futures, options, credit default swaps and securities sold, not yet purchased. For additional information regarding these arrangements, see Note 6, “Financial Instruments,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated cash flows of Icahn Enterprises and Icahn Enterprises Holdings are substantially the same. The immaterial differences between Icahn Enterprises' and Icahn Enterprises Holdings' condensed consolidated statements of cash flows primarily relate to non-cash charges for interest expense which is included in net cash provided by operating activities. Therefore, we discuss only the consolidated cash flows of Icahn Enterprises below.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily attributable to our Energy, Railcar and Gaming segments due to earnings before non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization. This was offset primarily by our Investment segment due to net cash used in investment transactions. Additionally, our Automotive segment has net cash used in operating activities primarily due to changes in working capital and the Holding Company had net cash used in operating activities primarily due to interest payments on its senior unsecured notes.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily attributable to capital expenditures incurred by our subsidiaries and acquisitions of businesses. Our Railcar segment had capital expenditures of $330 million, of which $315 million was for the manufacture or purchase of railcars for its leasing operations. Additionally, our Automotive, Energy and Gaming segments had capital expenditures of $217 million, $87 million and $61 million, respectively. In addition, Federal-Mogul, representing a portion of our Automotive segment, acquired TRW engine components business in the first quarter of 2015 for $301 million, net of cash acquired, and our Holding Company acquired substantially all of the auto parts in the United States of Uni-Select, Inc. and Ferrous Resources during the second quarter of 2015 for an aggregate of $485 million, net of cash acquired.
Financing Activities
Cash provided from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily attributable to certain debt refinancing and draw down on revolver activities at our Railcar and Automotive segments. Additionally, our Investment segment received $245 million of capital contributions from affiliates of Mr. Icahn. This was offset in part by aggregate distributions of $173 million to non-controlling interests in certain of our subsidiaries and cash distributions to Icahn Enterprises' depositary unitholders.

Discussion of Segment Liquidity and Capital Resources
There have been no material changes to our capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Investment
As of June 30, 2015, the Investment Funds' net notional exposure was 3%. The Investment Funds' long exposure was 150% (145% long equity and 5% long credit) and the Investment Funds' short exposure was 147% (128% short equity, 19% short credit and other).  The notional exposure represents the ratio of the notional exposure of the Investment Funds' invested capital to the net asset value of the Investment Funds at June 30, 2015.
Of our long exposure of 150%, the fair value of our long positions (with certain adjustments) represented 137% of our long exposure. The notional value of our other long positions, which primarily included single name equity forward contracts and credit contracts, represented 13% of our long exposure.
Of our short exposure of 147%, the fair value of our short positions represented 9% of our short exposure. The notional value of our other short positions, which primarily included short credit default swap contracts and short broad market index swap derivative contracts, represented 138% of our short exposure.
With respect to both our long positions that are not notionalized (137% long exposure) and our short positions that are not notionalized (9% short), each 1% change in exposure as a result of purchases or sales (assuming no change in value) would have a 1% impact on our cash and cash equivalents (as a percentage of net asset value). Changes in exposure as a result of purchases and sales as well as adverse changes in market value would also have an effect on funds available to us pursuant to prime brokerage lines of credit.
With respect to the notional value of our other short positions (138% short exposure), our liquidity would decrease by the balance sheet unrealized loss if we were to close the positions at quarter end prices. This would be offset by a release of restricted cash balances collateralizing these positions as well as an increase in funds available to us pursuant to certain prime brokerage lines of credit. If we were to increase our short exposure by adding to these short positions, we would be required to provide cash collateral equal to a small percentage of the initial notional value at counterparties that require cash as collateral and then post additional collateral equal to 100% of the mark to market on adverse changes in fair value. For our counterparties who do not require cash collateral, funds available from lines of credit would decrease.
The Investment Funds historically have had access to significant amounts of cash available from prime brokerage lines of credit, subject to customary terms and market conditions.
Automotive
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the borrowing availability under the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility was $280 million and $516 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, the outstanding balance on the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility was $230 million. As of December 31, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility. Federal-Mogul had $40 million and $34 million of letters of credit outstanding as June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, pertaining to Federal-Mogul's term loan credit facility. To the extent letters of credit associated with the Federal-Mogul Replacement Revolving Facility are issued, there will be a corresponding decrease in borrowings available under this facility. See Note 10, "Debt - Automotive," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding Federal-Mogul's debt facilities.
Federal-Mogul's subsidiaries in Brazil, France, Germany, Italy and the United States are party to accounts receivable factoring and securitization facilities. Gross accounts receivable transferred under these facilities were $383 million and $306 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Of those gross amounts, $365 million and $293 million, respectively, qualify as sales as defined in FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. The remaining transferred receivables were pledged as collateral and accounted for as secured borrowings and recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets within accounts receivable, net and debt. Under the terms of these facilities, Federal-Mogul is not obligated to draw cash immediately upon the transfer of accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Federal-Mogul had withdrawn cash related to such transferred receivables of $2 million and $2 million, respectively. Proceeds from the transfers of accounts receivable qualifying as sales were $410 million and $445 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $800 million and $855 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.


81


Energy
As of June 30, 2015, CRLLC had availability under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility of $323 million and had letters of credit outstanding of $28 million. There were no borrowings outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility as of June 30, 2015. Availability under the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility was limited by borrowing base conditions as of June 30, 2015. In addition, as of June 30, 2015, CVR Partners had $25 million availability under its revolving credit facility, with an uncommitted incremental facility of up to $50 million.
See Note 10, “Debt - Energy," to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding CVR's credit facilities, including the Amended and Restated ABL Credit Facility.
On January 24, 2013, the board of directors of CVR adopted a quarterly cash dividend policy. CVR began paying regular quarterly dividends in the second quarter of 2013. Dividends are subject to change at the discretion of CVR's board of directors and may change from quarter to quarter. In addition, the current policy of the respective board of directors of CVR Refining and CVR Partners is to distribute all of the respective available cash of CVR Refining and CVR Partners each quarter. CVR Refining and CVR Partners do not have a legal obligation to pay distributions and there is no guarantee that they will pay any distributions on the units in any quarter.
For the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received an aggregate of $78 million in dividends from CVR and distributions from CVR Refining. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, CVR and CVR Refining declared a quarterly dividend and a distribution, respectively, which will result in an additional aggregate $41 million in dividends and distributions paid to us in the third quarter of 2015.
Railcar
In January 2015, ARI refinanced certain existing lease fleet financing facilities to, among other things, increase our borrowings thereunder. A certain subsidiary of ARI's completed a private placement of $626 million in aggregate principal amount of notes consisting of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.98% fixed fate secured railcar equipment notes, Class A-1 ("ARI Class A-1 Notes") and $376 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.06% fixed rate secured railcar equipment notes, Class A-2 ("ARI Class A-2 Notes", and collectively with the ARI Class A-1 Notes, the "ARI 2015 Notes"). The financing provided our Railcar segment with net cash of $212 million. The ARI 2015 Notes have a legal final maturity date of January 17, 2045 and an expected principal repayment date of January 15, 2025. See Note 10, "Debt - Railcar," for further discussion regarding this refinancing.
Our Railcar segment is reviewing the new tank railcar regulations in detail to assess their expected impact on its business and demand for its products and services. As a result of these new regulations, our Railcar segment may need to adjust its capital expenditure plans.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Except as discussed below, there have been no other material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Energy
We perform our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of April 30 of each year for our Energy segment, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The first step of the impairment analysis involves comparing the fair values of these assets to the respective carrying values to determine the potential for goodwill impairment. The second step of the impairment test, if necessary, involves quantifying the level of goodwill impairment. 
The fair values of our Energy segment's reporting units are based upon consideration of various valuation methodologies, including a discounted cash flow analysis ("DCF") and pricing multiples of current and future earnings observed for comparable public companies. Assumptions used in a DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows are based on current plans and for years beyond that plan, the estimates are based on assumed growth rates. We believe that our assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. The discount rates used in a DCF, which are intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital (“WACC”) of a market participant. Such estimates are derived from our analysis of peer companies and consider the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective.


82


We are currently performing the annual goodwill impairment test for our Energy segment which will be finalized during the third quarter of 2015. Based on the preliminary results of our annual goodwill impairment test for our Energy segment, while the fair market value of our Energy segment's Petroleum reporting unit was substantially in excess of its carrying value, the fair market value of our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit was approximately 1% in excess of its carrying value and was therefore considered at risk for failing "Step 1" of the goodwill impairment analysis. As of June 30, 2015, our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit had $253 million of goodwill allocated to it. The most significant key assumption to determining the fair value of our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit was its forecasted sales growth rate. If our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit fails to achieve its forecasted sales growth rate, a goodwill impairment may result in future periods.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, based on certain negative trends occurring in the energy markets, particularly with respect to the significant volatility in the oil markets as a result of a drop in forecasted worldwide demand for crude oil supply and inventories, we determined that goodwill impairment indicators existed in both of our Energy segment's Petroleum and Fertilizer reporting units. Accordingly, we performed a "Step 1" goodwill impairment analysis for our Energy segment's reporting units as of December 1, 2014. Our Energy segment’s petroleum reporting unit passed “Step 1” of the goodwill impairment analysis, and therefore, we did not perform “Step 2” of the goodwill impairment analysis for this reporting unit. Because our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit failed "Step 1" of the goodwill impairment analysis, we therefore, performed "Step 2" of the goodwill impairment analysis. Based on "Step 2" results of the goodwill impairment analysis, we recognized a preliminary impairment charge of $103 million for our Energy segment's Fertilizer reporting unit for the year ended December 31, 2014. Due to the complexity inherent in the "Step 2" goodwill impairment test, we finalized the assessment of our Energy segment's goodwill impairment during the first quarter of 2015 and noted that no additional adjustments to goodwill were required for the first quarter of 2015.
Mining
Reserves and Resources Estimates
Estimated recoverable reserves and resources are used to determine the depreciation of mining properties, account for deferred stripping costs and in performing impairment testing. Changes in assumptions will impact the carrying value of certain assets, provisions, depreciation and potential impairment charges and the carrying value of deferred tax assets.
In order to quantify reserves, estimates and assumptions are required to be made about a range of geological, technical and economic factors, including quantities, grades, production techniques, recovery rates, production costs, transport costs, commodity demand, commodity prices and exchange rates.
Estimating the quantity and/or grade of reserves requires the size, shape and depth of ore bodies or fields to be determined by analyzing geological data such as drilling samples. This process may require complex and difficult geological judgments and calculations to interpret the data.
Given the economic assumptions used to estimate changes in reserves from period to period, and because additional geological data is generated during the course of operations, estimates of reserves may change from period to period.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, creating a new topic, FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, superseding revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. This ASU requires that an entity recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, an entity is required to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, using one of two retrospective application methods. Early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of this standard but will permit companies to adopt this standard on the original effective date. The FASB expects to issue its final ASU formally amending the effective date by the end of the third quarter of 2015. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, which amends FASB Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in FASB ASC Topic 718 as it relates to


83


awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. We believe that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, which amends FASB ASU Topic 810, Consolidations. This ASU amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. This ASU requires that limited partnerships and similar legal entities provide partners with either substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights over the general partner in order to be considered a voting interest entity. The specialized consolidation model and guidance for limited partnerships and similar legal entities have been eliminated. There is no longer a presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. For limited partnerships and similar legal entities that qualify as voting interest entities, a limited partner with a controlling financial interest should consolidate a limited partnership. A controlling financial interest may be achieved through holding a limited partner interest that provides substantive kick-out rights. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We believe that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which amends FASB ASU Subtopic 835-30, Interest - Imputation of Interest. The new standard requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2015 and is required to be applied on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We expect that the adoption of this new guidance will result in a reclassification of debt issuance costs on our consolidated balance sheets.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-04, Compensation-Retirement Benefits: Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which amends FASB ASU Topic 715, Compensation - Retirement Benefits. This ASU provides a practical expedient that permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. This ASU is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. We anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-06, Effects on Historical Earnings per Unit of Master Limited Partnership Dropdown Transactions, which amends FASB ASU Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. This ASU requires that for purposes of calculating earnings per share under the two-class method, the earnings or losses of a transferred business before the date of dropdown transaction should be allocated entirely to the general partner. In that circumstance, the previously reported earnings per unit of the limited partners would not change as a result of the drop down transaction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures as we have historically allocated earnings or losses of a transferred business before the date of applicable dropdown transactions to the general partner for purposes of calculating earnings per share.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Information about our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk for each of our segments discussed below did not differ materially from those disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our 2014 Form 10-K.
Investment
Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our Investment segment and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of the Investment Funds' investments.
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Investment Funds primarily fluctuates in response to changes in the value of securities. The net effect of these fair value changes impacts the net gains from investment activities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Investment Funds' risk is regularly evaluated and is managed on a position basis as well as on a portfolio basis. Senior members of our investment team meet on a regular basis to assess and review certain risks, including concentration risk, correlation risk and credit risk for significant positions. Certain risk metrics and other analytical tools are used in the normal course of business by the General Partners.
Market Risk
The Investment Funds hold investments that are reported at fair value as of the reporting date, which include securities owned, securities sold, not yet purchased and derivatives as reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based on their respective balances as of June 30, 2015, we estimate that in the event of a 10% adverse change in the fair value of these investments, the fair values of securities owned, securities sold, not yet purchased and derivatives would decrease by approximately $1.4 billion, $98 million and $2.6 billion, respectively. However, as of June 30, 2015, we estimate that the impact to our share of the net gain from investment activities reported in our condensed consolidated statement of operations would be less than the change in fair value since we have an investment of approximately 46% in these Investment Funds, and the non-controlling interests in income would correspondingly offset approximately 54% of the change in fair value.
Credit Risk
We and certain of our consolidated Investment Funds are subject to certain inherent risks through our investments.
Our entities typically invest excess cash in large money market funds. The money market funds primarily invest in government securities and other short-term, highly liquid instruments with a low risk of loss. The Investment Funds also maintain free credit balances with their prime brokers and in interest bearing accounts at major banking institutions. We seek to diversify our cash investments across several accounts and institutions and we monitor performance and counterparty risk.
The Investment Funds and, to a lesser extent, other entities hold derivative instruments that are subject to credit risk in the event that the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of such agreements. When the Investment Funds make such investments or enter into other arrangements where they might suffer a significant loss through the default or insolvency of a counterparty, the General Partners monitor the credit quality of such counterparty and seek to do business with creditworthy counterparties. Counterparty risk is monitored by obtaining and reviewing public information filed by the counterparties and others.
Automotive
See Note 6, “Financial Instruments-Automotive,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion regarding Federal-Mogul's interest rate risk, commodity price risk and foreign currency risk. As discussed in Note 2, "Operating Units - Automotive," IEH Auto acquired substantially all of the auto parts assets in the United States of Uni-Select, Inc. during the second quarter. IEH Auto does not have significant exposure to interest rate, commodity or foreign currency risks.
The translated values of revenue and expense from Federal-Mogul's international operations are subject to fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, Federal-Mogul derived 37% of its sales in the United States and 63% internationally. Of these international sales, 56% were denominated in the euro, with no other single currency representing more than 11% of international sales. To minimize foreign currency risk, Federal-Mogul generally maintains natural hedges within its non-U.S. activities, including the matching of operational revenues and costs. Where natural hedges are not in place, Federal-Mogul may manage certain aspects of its foreign currency activities and larger transactions through the use of foreign currency options or forward contracts.

Energy
The risk inherent in our Energy segment's market risk sensitive instruments and positions is the potential loss from adverse changes in commodity prices and interest rates. Our Energy segment is exposed to market pricing for all of the products sold in the future both at its petroleum business and the nitrogen fertilizer business, as all of the products manufactured in both businesses are commodities.
Our Energy segment's earnings and cash flows and estimates of future cash flows are sensitive to changes in energy prices. The prices of crude oil and refined products have fluctuated substantially in recent years. These prices depend on many factors, including the overall demand for crude oil and refined products, which in turn depends, among other factors, general economic conditions, the level of foreign and domestic production of crude oil and refined products, the availability of imports of crude oil and refined products, the marketing of alternative and competing fuels, the extent of government regulations and global market dynamics. The prices our Energy segment receives for refined products are also affected by factors such as local market conditions and the level of operations of other refineries in our markets. The prices at which our Energy segment can sell gasoline and other refined products are strongly influenced by the price of crude oil. Generally, an increase or decrease in the price of crude oil results in a corresponding increase or decrease in the price of gasoline and other refined products. The timing of the relative movement of the prices, however, can impact profit margins, which could significantly affect our Energy segment's earnings and cash flows.
Commodity Price Risk
At June 30, 2015, CVR Refining had open commodity hedging instruments consisting of 8.1 million barrels of crack spreads primarily to fix the margin on a portion of our future gasoline and distillate production. The fair value of the outstanding contracts at June 30, 2015 was a net unrealized gain of $20 million. A change of $1.00 per barrel in the fair value of the crack spread swaps would result in an increase or decrease in the related fair values of commodity hedging instruments of approximately $8 million.
Interest Rate Risk
On June 30 and July 1, 2011, Coffeyville Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC ("CRNF") entered into two floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements for the purpose of hedging the interest rate risk associated with a portion of CVR Partner's $125 million floating rate term debt which matures in April 2016. The aggregate notional amount covered under these agreements, which commenced on August 12, 2011 and expires on February 12, 2016, totals $62.5 million (split evenly between the two agreement dates). Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement entered into on June 30, 2011, CRNF receives a floating rate based on three month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of 1.94%. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement entered into on July 1, 2011, CRNF receives a floating rate based on three month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of 1.975%. Both swap agreements will be settled every 90 days. The effect of these swap agreements is to lock in a fixed rate of interest of approximately 1.96% plus the applicable margin paid to lenders over three month LIBOR as governed by the CRNF credit facility. The agreements were designated as cash flow hedges at inception and accordingly, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the swap is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be reclassified into interest expense when the interest rate swap transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss will be recognized immediately in current interest expense.
CVR Partners has exposure to interest rate risk on 50% of its $125 million floating rate term debt. A 1.0% increase over the Eurodollar floor spread of 3.5%, as specified in the credit facility, would increase interest cost to CVR Partners by less than $1 million on an annualized basis, thus decreasing CVR Partner's net income by the same amount.
Railcar
Our Railcar segment is exposed to price risks associated with the purchase of raw materials, especially steel and heavy castings. The cost of steel, heavy castings and all other materials used in the production of railcars represents more than half of the direct manufacturing costs per railcar. Given the significant volatility in the price of raw materials, this exposure can affect the costs of production. Our Railcar segment believes that the risk to its margins and profitability has been somewhat reduced by the variable pricing provisions generally included in its railcar sales contracts. These provisions adjust the purchase prices of the railcars to reflect fluctuations in the cost of certain raw materials and components and, as a result, our Railcar segment is generally able to pass on to its customers most increases in raw material and component costs with respect to the railcars it plans to produce and deliver to them. Our Railcar segment believes that it currently has good supplier relationships and does not currently anticipate that material constraints will limit its production capacity. Such constraints may exist if railcar production were to increase beyond current levels, or other economic changes were to occur that affect the availability of certain raw materials.


86


Our Railcar segment's financial results could be affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on its variable rate debt obligation as of June 30, 2015. A one percentage point increase in the rate would have had a $11 million impact on our Railcar segment's interest expense on an annualized basis.
Gaming
Interest Rate Risk
Tropicana's primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with its Tropicana New Term Loan Facility that bears interest based on floating rates. Based on Tropicana's borrowings as of June 30, 2015, assuming a 1% increase over the 4% floor specified in its Tropicana New Term Loan Facility, Tropicana's annual interest cost would change by approximately $3 million.
Mining
As discussed in Note 2, "Operating Units - Mining," we obtained control, and consolidated, the results of Ferrous Resources Limited ("Ferrous Resources") during the second quarter of 2015.
Commodity Price Risk

Ferrous Resources’ revenues are based on the sale of iron ore fines. Our Mining segment's financial results can vary significantly as a result of fluctuations in the market prices of iron ore. International prices for this commodity have fluctuated historically and are affected by numerous factors beyond Ferrous Resources' control. The price index that is utilized in our Mining segment's iron ore sales contracts is the Platts 62 percent Fe fines spot rate pricing, which can fluctuate widely due to numerous factors, such as global economic growth or contraction, change in demand for steel or changes in availability of supply. Our Mining segment estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement in the international price of iron ore over the one month ended June 30, 2015 would have decreased net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises for our Mining segment by less than $1 million.
Foreign Currency Risk
Ferrous Resources' principal objective is to produce iron ore which is typically priced in U.S. dollars. The majority of its funding and cash balances are also denominated in U.S. dollars. A proportion of Ferrous Resources' costs are incurred in Brazilian Reals while the significant capital expenditure is expected to be incurred in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, our Mining segment's financial results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Brazilian Real. Our Mining segment estimates that a hypothetical 10% adverse movement of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar over the one month ended June 30, 2015 would have decreased net income attributable to Icahn Enterprises for our Mining segment by less than $1 million.
Holding Company
Equity Price Risk
The carrying values of investments subject to equity price risks are based on quoted market prices or management's estimates of fair value as of the balance sheet dates. Market prices are subject to fluctuation and, consequently, the amount realized in the subsequent sale of an investment may significantly differ from the reported market value. Fluctuation in the market price of a security may result from perceived changes in the underlying economic characteristics of the investee, the relative price of alternative investments and general market conditions. Furthermore, amounts realized in the sale of a particular security may be affected by the relative quantity of the security being sold.
Based on sensitivity analysis for our equity price risks as of June 30, 2015, the effects of a 10% adverse change in the fair value of these investments would result in loss of approximately $17 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
As of June 30, 2015, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Icahn Enterprises' and Icahn Enterprises Holdings' and subsidiaries' disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and

communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
See Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the condensed consolidated financial statements located in Part I, Item I of this Report, which is incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1, for a description of the litigation, legal and administrative proceedings and environmental matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as disclosed below, there were no other material changes to our risk factors during the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Railcar
Train derailments or other accidents involving our Railcar segment's products could subject it to legal claims and/or result in regulatory changes that may adversely impact our Railcar segment's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our Railcar segment manufactures railcars for our customers to transport a variety of commodities, including railcars that transport hazardous materials such as crude oil and other petroleum products. Our Railcar segment also manufactures railcar components as well as industrial components for use in several markets, including the trucking, construction, mining and oil and gas exploration markets. Our Railcar segment could be subject to various legal claims, including claims for negligence, personal injury, physical damage and product liability, as well as potential penalties and liability under environmental laws and regulations, in the event of a train derailment or other accident involving our products or services. If our Railcar segment becomes subject to any such claims and are unable successfully to resolve them, our Railcar segment's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Recent derailments in North America of trains transporting crude oil have caused various U.S and Canadian regulatory agencies, industry organizations, as well as Class I Railroads and community governments, to focus attention on transportation by rail of flammable materials. For example, in April 2014, Transport Canada (TC), a federal department of the Canadian government that regulates rail transportation and safety within Canada, issued a protective order mandating that tank railcars with certain specifications must no longer transport certain designated dangerous goods, including certain flammable liquids, within Canada. Significantly, on May 1, 2015, TC and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) of the U.S. Department of Transportation released final rules related to rail transport of certain flammable liquids. In addition, railroads and other organizations may impose requirements for railcars that are more stringent than, or in addition to, any governmental regulations that may be adopted.
Our Railcar segment is reviewing the tank railcar regulations in detail to assess their expected impact on its business, including their potential impact on the railcars and components it manufactures, the services it provides and the railcars that it leases, as well as our customers’ demand for these products and services. Our Railcar segment is unable to predict what impact these or other regulatory changes may have, if any, on its business or the railcar industry as a whole. These rules and the industry’s responsiveness in complying with these new rules may materially impact the rail industry as a whole; railroad operations; older and newer railcars that meet or exceed currently mandated standards; future railcar specifications; and the capability of the North American railcar manufacturing, repair and maintenance infrastructure to implement mandated retrofit configurations or new construction. As a result of such regulations, certain of our Railcar segment's railcars could be deemed unfit for further commercial use (which would diminish or eliminate future revenue generated from leased railcars) and/or require retrofits or modifications. The costs associated with any required retrofits or modifications could be substantial. While certain regulatory changes could result in increased demand for refurbishment and/or new railcar manufacturing activity, if our Railcar segment is unable to adapt its business to changing regulations or railroad standards, and/or take advantage of any increase in demand for its products and services, our Railcar segment's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Our Railcar segment cannot assure that costs incurred to comply with any new standards and regulations, including those released by PHMSA and TC, will not be material to our Railcar segment's business, financial condition or results of operations.

Mining
As discussed elsewhere in this Report, we obtained control of Ferrous Resources Limited ("Ferrous Resources") during the second quarter of 2015. The following risk factors pertain to Ferrous Resources, representing our Mining segment:
Our Mining segment's financial performance is dependent on the global price of iron ore and global demand levels for iron ore.
The economic viability of Ferrous Resources’ business is highly dependent on the market price of iron ore. Ferrous Resources’ longer-term strategy is to produce and sell iron ore products in the domestic Brazilian market, as well as to the export markets, principally China, Japan, Korea, the Middle East and potentially Europe. The future revenues Ferrous Resources will be able to achieve from the sale of iron ore products will depend on Brazilian and global demand levels for iron ore, iron ore international sales prices, the type of iron ore product it sells and the iron (Fe) content of those products. Iron ore prices (including sale prices in Brazil) are largely driven by global demand for crude steel, the primary driver for iron ore demand. Part of Ferrous Resources iron ore export sales are made pursuant to long-term supply contracts, the sales prices for which are determined based on market price indices and will be subject to certain discounts or premiums (depending on the quality of final product) and periodic price adjustments.
Global demand for iron ore products and related sales prices have historically varied, and are expected to continue to vary according to the worldwide demand for iron ore and steel, which in turn, is likely to be heavily influenced by worldwide economic activity and global iron ore supply levels. Iron ore demand may also be impacted by regulatory tariffs in effect in major importing or exporting countries. Global iron ore price levels directly impact Ferrous Resources’ sales prices. Conversion of Ferrous Resources’ iron ore resources to reserves and the production of iron ore products are economically feasible only on the basis of relatively high global iron ore prices driven by worldwide demand for iron ore products. International iron ore prices have been volatile in recent years, falling from roughly US$135 per dry metric tonne (“dmt”) in average in 2013 to an average of US$96.70/dmt in 2014 and reached US$47.50/dmt in early April 2015. Iron ore was trading at an average of approximately US$58.40/dmt in the second quarter of 2015.
Worldwide prices for iron ore have been mainly determined via a spot pricing mechanism and the sales prices for the products sold by Ferrous Resources are generally determined based on market price indices considered as reference for the seaborne iron ore market.
A number of factors beyond Ferrous Resources’ control will impact contract and spot iron ore prices and the price which Ferrous Resources may receive for its iron ore production, most notably the levels of worldwide steel production and demand for steel products, the level of worldwide production of iron ore products, the relationship between the major iron ore producers and consumers and government tariffs.
More recently, oversupply in the global markets for iron ore contributed to a steep decline in price levels for iron ore of the grades produced at Esperança and Santanense (two of Ferrous Resources’ properties) falling below the level necessary to make continuation of mining activities at these properties economically viable. In March 2015 the Esperança and Santanense mines ceased production and were put in care and maintenance.
If iron ore oversupply levels continue to keep prices at depressed levels or decline further or if transportation, port, agency or processing costs were to increase or fail to decline in proportion to the reduction in iron ore prices, Ferrous Resources may not be able to economically produce and sell iron ore from its Viga mine which could result in Ferrous Resources delaying, suspending, reducing or ceasing production activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Ferrous Resources has limited cash available and is currently not profitable.
Ferrous Resources’ cash levels dropped from approximately US$56 million at December 31, 2014 to approximately US$47 million at June 30, 2015 primarily due to lower iron ore selling prices, costs associated with the suspension of operations at its Santanense and Esperança mines and essential capital expenditures at its Viga mine. Ferrous Resources’ Viga mine, which is currently its only operating mine, is operating at marginal levels of profitability that are not able to support Ferrous Resources’ care and maintenance costs at its other mines as well as its corporate overhead. There is no assurance that Ferrous Resources will not run out of cash in the near future resulting in a material adverse effect on our Mining segment's results of operations and financial condition.
The iron ore industry is intensely competitive and Ferrous Resources may experience pricing pressure and have difficulty effectively competing with other iron ore mining companies.
The iron ore industry is characterized by intense competition and a high level of market concentration. Ferrous Resources competes with a number of large international mining companies, many of which have mineral and financial resources substantially greater than those of Ferrous Resources. Industry competitors may acquire additional exploration rights over iron


90


ore deposits, with an added advantage of scale in their businesses, reduced costs and proprietary logistics systems and may engage in pricing or other financial or operational practices that will increase competitive pressure on Ferrous Resources. Competition from foreign direct investment in Ferrous Resources’ domestic competitors or continued market concentration could result in Ferrous Resource experiencing difficulty establishing or increasing market share and could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.
If the price of iron ore declines further, Ferrous Resources may be required to cease operations
If iron ore prices decline further or remain depressed for an extended period, Ferrous Resources may no longer be able to fund its current operations and be forced to suspend or cease operations. Any such suspension or termination in operations will require substantial suspension or shutdown costs including social, environmental remediation and contract breakage costs. Such costs may exceed the cash available to Ferrous Resources without sales of its core mining assets.  Asset sales effected in a market downturn typically do not result in favorable prices and could result in the complete liquidation of Ferrous Resources without fully satisfying its remaining obligations.
Exchange rate instability and changes in the value of the Brazilian real relative to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies may adversely affect our Mining segment's financial condition and results of operations.
The Brazilian currency has been devalued frequently over the past four decades. Throughout this period, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic small devaluations (during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly), exchange controls, dual exchange rate markets and a floating exchange rate system. From time to time, there have been significant fluctuations in the exchange rate between the Brazilian currency and the U.S. dollar and other currencies. For example, the Brazilian real hit a 5-year high of R$1.5375 to US$1.00 in July 2011 and a 12-year low of R$3.2931 to US$1.00 in March 2015. There can be no assurance that the currency will not fall in value against the U.S. dollar in the future.
Depreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar could create additional inflationary pressures in Brazil. Depreciation generally makes it more difficult to access foreign financial markets and may prompt government intervention, including recessionary economic policies. Conversely, appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar may lead to the deterioration of Brazil’s current account and balance of payments as well as hinder the growth of exports.
Ferrous Resources’ reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Ferrous Resources expects that most of its revenues will be denominated in U.S. dollars, while most of its costs (other than expenses related to debt servicing, which are likely to be U.S. dollar-denominated) will be denominated in Brazilian reais. Ferrous Resources also expects to hold certain assets and incur certain liabilities in other foreign currencies. Consequently, increases in the value of the Brazilian real and other foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may result in a reduction in Ferrous Resources’ reported profits. In addition, because Ferrous Resources’ functional currency is the U.S. dollar, both at a consolidated and operating company level, Ferrous Resources must translate Brazilian real denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. To do so, non-U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing exchange rate at the date of the balance sheets. Consequently, increases or decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real and other foreign currencies may affect Ferrous Resources’ assets and liabilities in Ferrous Resources’ balance sheets. Depreciation of the U.S. dollar versus such foreign currencies will increase the value of assets and liabilities on Ferrous Resources’ balance sheets while appreciation of the U.S. dollar versus such foreign currencies will decrease the value of assets and liabilities on Ferrous Resources’ balance sheets. Appreciation of the Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar would cause Ferrous Resources’ projected capital and operating costs (as expressed in U.S. dollars) to increase. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our Mining segment’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Ferrous Resources may experience delays in implementing its Viga mining plan or may not be able to implement it in its current form.
Ferrous Resources will need to raise a substantial amount of equity and debt financing to build both the Viga 4+ Project and the Viga 17 Project. Only if both projects are successfully financed and completed does Ferrous Resources’ business plan target production of iron ore at a rate of 21 million tonnes per year by the third quarter of 2018 from the Viga Property, at which time the Viga 4+ Project and the Viga 17 Project would be temporarily operating simultaneously until 2021. While Ferrous Resources currently either owns or has access to the required areas to develop the Viga 21 Project, which covers a total of approximately 2,671 hectacres, part of the project area is subject to judicial proceedings relating to challenges over possession rights in such areas. The disputed areas cover approximately 4.7 hectacres, which corresponds to approximately 0.46% of the total project area. Ferrous Resources intends to request the Brazilian National Department of Mineral Production (“DNPM”) to grant easements over the areas to Ferrous Resources and will seek other legal measures to retain possession of such areas. However, there can be no assurances that the DNPM will grant such easements or that Ferrous Resources will be successful in retaining possession of the areas within the timeframe required by Ferrous Resources’ business plan. If Ferrous Resources is unsuccessful in its efforts to secure such rights, it would limit its ability to mine approximately 9% of the otherwise mineable


91


ore reserves at the Viga Property.
Our Mining segment's business plans will require substantial capital investment. Actual capital expenditure requirements may be higher than expected and Ferrous Resources may have difficulty obtaining required financing.
Ferrous Resources will need to make substantial capital investments in order to develop the Viga 17 Project and related processing and infrastructure. Ferrous Resources currently projects that implementing the Viga 17 Project will require total capital expenditures of approximately US$1.2 billion between 2016 and 2019. Ferrous Resources intends to make such capital investments in the Viga 17 Project only if it is successful in raising the necessary equity and debt financing to fund such capital expenditures.
Also, in order to fund capital expenditures required to complete the Viga 4+ Project, Ferrous Resources expects to require additional equity funding together with additional debt. Ferrous Resources may be unable to obtain equity or debt financing in the amounts required in a timely manner, on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If Ferrous Resources is unable to obtain sufficient equity and debt financing in a timely manner the Viga 4+ Project may not be completed.
As indicated above, Ferrous Resources will require additional equity and debt financing to fund the capital expenditures anticipated to be required to complete the Viga 17 Project. Ferrous Resources’ business plan for the development of the Viga 17 Project is in large part supported by the analysis performed and included in certain feasibility studies. Certain feasibility studies were prepared based on the construction work required to complete the Viga 17 Project commencing in March 2015. Ferrous Resources did not secure the necessary additional equity and debt financing to fund the capital expenditures by June 30, 2015.
There can be no assurance that Ferrous Resources will be successful in raising the equity or debt financing necessary to complete the Viga 4+ Project or the Viga 17 Project in a timely manner, on commercially acceptable terms or at all. In addition, Ferrous Resources may also have to raise financing in excess of that anticipated to complete the Viga 4+ Project and the Viga 17 Project if there are cost overruns. There can be no assurance that Ferrous Resources will be successful in its efforts to raise such financing or that the terms of any such financing may not be materially less favorable to Ferrous Resources than currently anticipated.
Ferrous Resources is also actively considering a number of strategies to increase profitability. To the extent that Ferrous Resources decides to implement these or other projects, Ferrous Resources’ capital expenditure requirements could increase. To the extent the capital expenditures required to implement any of these projects exceed available cash flow, Ferrous Resources may have to maintain bank debt at higher levels or for a longer period of time than currently anticipated. Moreover, if bank debt is not available on acceptable terms, or at all, Ferrous Resources may be unable to undertake these projects.
Ferrous Resources’ longer term capital expenditure requirements may prove to be significantly higher than its projected capital expenditure requirements, including due to the occurrence of identified potential contingencies.
If Ferrous Resources’ capital expenditure requirements prove to be significantly higher than expected it could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s ability to realize its business plan and on its business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, if Ferrous Resources fails to generate or obtain sufficient capital resources to establish, develop and operate its business, its business could fail, or Ferrous Resources could be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or re-structure future indebtedness, which could materially and adversely affect our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.
Our Mining segment may not be able to maintain the mining, environmental or other licenses and authorizations necessary to conduct iron ore exploration, mining and production activities.
The licensing regime in Brazil for the exploration, extraction and production of minerals is governed primarily by the Brazilian Mining Code (“Mining Code”) and regulations issued thereunder. The conduct of exploration, mining or mineral processing activities in Brazil requires numerous permits, licenses and authorizations from various Brazilian government agencies, including the DNPM, and relevant state environmental agencies at each phase of mining activity. Ferrous Resources holds all of the mining, environmental licenses and water extraction permits and/or authorizations required to conduct its current mining and processing activities, as well as the licenses, permits and authorizations required for the construction and implementation of its planned Viga 17 Project, but not all of the required licenses, permits or authorizations for the projects not included in Ferrous Resources’ immediate plans. Further, Ferrous Resources’ licenses, permits and/or authorizations may be revoked if Ferrous Resources fails to comply with certain prescribed requirements. There can be no assurance that Ferrous Resources will be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits and/or authorizations to implement its business plan on a timely or favorable basis, or at all and any failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.


92


Our Mining segment may experience difficulties or delays in accessing transportation infrastructure necessary in order for it to transport or export iron ore products at a commercially viable price, or at all.
In order for Ferrous Resources to achieve its objective of becoming a large-scale iron ore producer and exporter, it will need to ensure it can transport iron ore product to a port at a commercially viable price for onward export by sea. Ferrous Resources currently has short-term access to certain port and rail facilities and is exporting some of its production, but this is not a guarantee that Ferrous Resources will continue to have such access to port and rail on a long-term basis. Ferrous Resources does not currently have long-term port and rail agreements in place and may not be able finalize such agreements to secure transport of its product to export markets at commercially viable costs or at all.
Delays to Ferrous Resources’ ability to secure long-term port or rail agreements at commercially reasonable levels would likely result in delays to Ferrous Resources commencing large-scale export activities. Depending on international iron ore prices, this might have a corresponding adverse impact on revenue generation and cash flow from operating activities. Unforeseen difficulties in securing access to the planned transportation infrastructure owned by third parties could also result in our Mining segment’s operating expenditures being higher than projected.
Our Mining segment's operations are subject to extensive environmental risks inherent to the mining and iron ore processing industry.
Ferrous Resources’ operations are or may become subject to potential risks and liabilities associated with pollution of the environment and the disposal of waste products that may occur as a result of its mineral exploration, development and production, including damage to preservation areas, over-development or extraction and accidental spills and leakages. Such potential liabilities include not only the obligation to remedy environmental damage and indemnify affected third parties, but also the imposition of court judgments, administrative penalties and criminal sanctions against Ferrous Resources and its employees and executive officers. Ferrous Resources has also conducted environmental reclamation work in certain of its properties as a result of inherited environmental problems caused by historic mining activities, and is required to conduct ongoing work agreed with Brazilian environmental authorities as a result of its current operations. As Ferrous Resources conducts this reclamation work, or if it is required to complete more extensive work as a result of new or revised regulatory requirements, Ferrous Resources may experience increased costs and limited production at these sites and may be required to complete such reclamation work before it receives any financial returns from its properties. In addition, if Ferrous Resources is unable to fully remedy an environmental problem, it may be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy which may result in increased costs and reduced production rates.
During the conduct of its operations, Ferrous Resources is subject to regular inspections and spot checks by various regulators, including the DNPM and environmental regulators, and reporting requirements for a range of issues relating to environmental pollution. Ferrous Resources must also comply with maximum acceptable concentrations, as determined by the Brazilian state authorities, for air quality, water quality, soils and sediments. Any issues identified in such inspections or reporting processes and/or any breach of these requirements could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.
Our Mining segment's mineral resources are based on estimates and it may not be able to convert them into reserves or actual production.
Ferrous Resources’ mineral resources are based on estimates only, and no assurance can be given that the estimated quantities or grades of iron ore will be converted into reserves at the anticipated conversion rates or at all, or that particular levels of recovery and production of iron ore will be realized. Calculation of mineral resource estimates is a subjective process of approximation of underground mineral deposits that cannot be measured in an exact manner, and the accuracy of any resource estimate is a function of the quality of available data and engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. The estimates of Ferrous Resources’ mineral resources have been derived on the basis of assays of drilled samples to which established methods of estimating measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources have been applied. However, there is uncertainty in any mineral resource estimate and subsequent results of actual mining and production operations may lead to revisions of initial estimates or to the realization that the mineral resource estimates do not convert into proven or probable reserves at the expected conversion rates or at all. Moreover, fluctuations in the market price of iron ore, reduced recovery rates or increased production costs due to inflation or other factors may render resources uneconomically viable to extract. The estimated mineral resources should not be interpreted as an assurance of reserves of the commercial viability, potential or profitability of any future operations. If the estimated mineral resources prove inaccurate, this would have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, operating results, financial condition.
Our Mining segment may face uncertainties relating to the identification of viable ore bodies at future exploration sites.
Ferrous Resources may need to identify, access and develop additional mineral deposits, resources and reserves in order to continue its mining activities beyond what is envisaged in its current business plan upon the depletion of the anticipated

mineral resources at its properties. Future exploration programs may fail to result in the development of resources and reserves or in the expansion or replacement of reserves depleted by production. Any mineral exploration program requires locating economically viable ore bodies, identifying appropriate metallurgical processes, obtaining required governmental permits and constructing mining and processing facilities. No assurance can be given that any mineral exploration program that Ferrous Resources may choose to develop will result in the discovery of new resources and reserves or the establishment or continuation of an economically viable mine.
Our Mining segment's ability to construct and implement its projects depends on the provision of important services and equipment by third parties.
Ferrous Resources depends heavily on third-party contractors and consultants for the provision of certain services, such as project management, engineering, construction, process design and planning, as well as third-party providers of mining equipment in order to develop its properties and conduct its operations. Ferrous Resources has entered into, or is in the process of negotiating, arrangements for certain of these services, such as process design and engineering; however, there can be no assurance that Ferrous Resources will be able to secure on a timely manner or on commercially acceptable terms or at all the provision of all the services that it will need to be successful or that the arrangements it does enter into will be sufficient for Ferrous Resources’ future needs or will not be interrupted or cease altogether. In particular, certain of Ferrous Resources’ equipment rental and other service contracts may be terminable at will by the service provider.
In addition, certain of the services required for Ferrous Resources’ operations and strategic developments are or may in the future be available on commercially reasonable terms only from a limited number of providers. In particular, Ferrous Resources may encounter difficulty in securing the services of specialized contractors due to high demand for those services resulting from significant competition from other mining companies operating in the Iron Ore Quadrangle in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Ferrous Resources’ business may be negatively affected by the failure or delay of third parties in supplying these services, by any change to the terms on which these services are made available by third-party providers or by third-party providers failing to provide services that meet Ferrous Resources’ quality requirements.
If Ferrous Resources is forced to change a provider of such services, it may experience additional costs, interruptions to supply continuity or other adverse effects on its business. There also can be no assurance that Ferrous Resources would be able to find adequate replacement services on a timely basis or at all. Should Ferrous Resources be unable to acquire or retain providers of key services on favorable terms, or should there be interruptions to, or inadequacies with, any services provided, this could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.
Our Mining segment's compliance with health and safety laws may require increased capital expenditures, and non-compliance may subject it to significant penalties.
Ferrous Resources is required to comply with a range of health and safety laws and regulations in connection with its business activities. A violation of health and safety laws relating to a mine, or at a processing or other plant, or a failure to comply with the instructions of the relevant health and safety authorities, could lead to, amongst other things, a temporary shutdown of all or a portion of the mine or of a processing or other plant; a loss by Ferrous Resources of its right to mine or operate a processing or other plant, or the imposition of costly compliance measures. If health and safety authorities require Ferrous Resources to shut down all or a portion of a mine or a processing or other plant or to implement costly compliance measures, whether pursuant to existing or new health and safety laws and regulations, or the more stringent enforcement of existing laws and regulations, such measures could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.
Our Mining segment's surface rights, mineral rights or ownership rights to companies holding mineral rights or surface rights, have been and may in the future be challenged by prior owners, bankruptcy trustees and creditors of prior owners, among others, and may give rise to various successor liabilities.
Some of Ferrous Resources’ surface rights and mineral rights which Ferrous Resources has acquired in the past have been the subject of disputes by third parties challenging Ferrous Resources’ or a previous owner’ ownership rights. Companies, surface rights and mineral rights that Ferrous Resources acquires in the future may be or become subject to similar claims. Third parties may have known or unknown valid claims relating to portions of Ferrous Resources’ interests, including prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. In particular, Ferrous Resources has acquired, and may acquire, companies, surface rights or mineral rights that are the subject of debt restructuring or bankruptcy proceedings. Under Brazilian law, claims may be brought challenging subsequent transfers of assets or rights that were previously subject to or indirectly involved in debt restructuring or bankruptcy proceedings, or attempting to link the debt restructuring or bankruptcy proceedings and such subsequent transfers.
If historical transfers are successfully challenged or if Ferrous Resources is unsuccessful in defending against easement or adverse possession claims or other unknown successor liabilities, it risks losing its ownership interest in such assets or rights,


94


having its ability to use them impeded or becoming liable for unanticipated liabilities or penalties, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, financial condition, results of operations.
Our Mining segment's business is subject to the risk of operational disruptions, damage to property or injury to persons.
Ferrous Resources’ business operations, like those of other mining companies, are subject to a number of risks and hazards, including industrial and railway accidents, rock falls, environmental hazards, power outages, equipment failures, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, severe weather conditions and other natural phenomena or “acts of God.” Ferrous Resources already engages and intends to continue to engage primarily in open pit mining of its mineral rights areas. In conducting and developing its open pit mining operations, Ferrous Resources must from time to time take certain measures to prepare the mineral rights areas including environmental reclamation, excavation, clearing and pit wall support works. Hazards associated with preparatory mining works and open pit mining include accidents involving the operation of open pit mining and rock transportation equipment, the preparation and ignition of large-scale open pit blasting operations, the collapse of open pit walls and the flooding of open pits. Ferrous Resources’ operations currently require the removal of groundwater during mining, which may give rise to additional hazards including, but not limited to, accidents and flooding.
Ferrous Resources also faces risks with respect to its processing activities. Hazards associated with processing include the risk of accidents caused by operating crushing and concentrating plants and equipment.
Ferrous Resources may experience mine or plant shutdowns or periods of reduced production as a result of any of the above factors. Such factors could also result in material damage to, or the destruction of, mineral properties or production facilities, human exposure to pollution, personal injury or death, environmental and natural resource damage, delays in mining, delays in shipment, monetary losses and possible legal liability, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.
Our Mining segment may face uninsured costs and liabilities.
Ferrous Resources, as a participant in exploration and mining programs, may become subject to liability for hazards for which it cannot be insured, which could exceed policy limits or against which it may elect not to be insured due to high premium costs. These risks include but are not limited to industrial accidents, railway accidents, rock falls, environmental hazards, power outages, equipment failures, unusual or unexpected geological conditions, severe weather conditions and other natural phenomena or “acts of God.” These events may damage or destroy mining properties, production facilities, transport facilities and equipment, as well as lead to personal injury or death, environmental damage, waste from intermediary products or resources, mining, production or transportation delays and monetary losses or legal liability. There is no assurance that Ferrous Resources will be able to rebuild damaged property in a timely manner or at all.
Ferrous Resources has limited insurance coverage for most of its plant and facilities, for business interruption, for third-party liability in respect of property and for environmental damage arising from accidents on its property or relating to its operations. Ferrous Resources intends to obtain additional comprehensive insurance coverage in the future in relation to its sites to the extent Ferrous Resources believes necessary as Ferrous Resources further develop its mining projects. However, there is no guarantee that Ferrous Resources will be able to secure adequate levels of insurance coverage on economically viable terms or at all. Moreover, there is no assurance that Ferrous Resources will be able to maintain existing levels of insurance in the future at rates it considers to be reasonable. To the extent that Ferrous Resources is unable, or elects not, to obtain full insurance coverage, there is a risk that losses and liabilities arising from such events could significantly increase its costs and have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment’s business, results of operations, financial condition.
Our Mining segment's financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in applicable taxation regimes or in the taxation residence.
The board of directors of Ferrous Resources currently conducts and intends to continue to conduct the affairs of Ferrous Resources in a manner such that it is treated as resident in the Isle of Man for Isle of Man tax purposes. This means, broadly, that Ferrous Resources’ profits, income and gains will be subject to the Isle of Man tax regime. Any dividends paid Ferrous Resources will be regarded as Isle of Man dividends.
It is possible that in the future, whether as a result of a change of law or the practice of any relevant tax authority, or as a result of any change in the management or the conduct of Ferrous Resources’ affairs, it could become, or be treated as having become, resident in a jurisdiction other than the Isle of Man, therefore becoming subject to the tax regime of a jurisdiction other than the Isle of Man. This could materially adversely affect our Mining segment’s operations.
Fluctuations in the global economy may have an adverse effect on the Brazilian economy and our Mining segment's operations.
Brazil’s economy is influenced, to varying degrees, by economic and market conditions in the global economy, both in other emerging markets and in developed countries, and especially other Latin American countries. The reaction of investors to


95


developments in one country may cause the capital markets in other countries to fluctuate. Continuing uncertainty can reduce the confidence of international investors and bring volatility to the markets. Recent economic uncertainty and volatility appears to have impaired parts of the global economy and, indirectly, the growth of emerging markets, including Brazil, which have recently experienced slower growth. Negative effects of the global economy and the Brazilian economy could lead to reduced liquidity, crashes in the credit markets and economic recession or decelerated growth in Brazil, which in turn could negatively affect our Mining segment's business, results of operations, financial condition.
In addition, as Brazil is a major producer and exporter of metal and agricultural products, the Brazilian economy is especially vulnerable to declines in world commodity prices and the imposition of import tariffs by the United States, the European Union or other major export markets, such as China. An increase in import tariffs may decrease demand for products exported by Brazilian companies. Any such developments may have a negative effect on the Brazilian economy and thus on our Mining segment's business, results of operations, financial condition.
All of the operations of our Mining segment are in Brazil or are related to Brazilian assets, and therefore Brazilian economic and political conditions may adversely affect our Mining segment's financial condition and results of operations.
All operations of Ferrous Resources are in Brazil or are related to Brazilian assets. Accordingly, its financial condition, results of operations and prospects are substantially dependent on Brazil’ economy, which in the past has been characterized by frequent and occasionally drastic intervention by the Brazilian government as well as volatile economic cycles. Ferrous Resources’ business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected by, among others, the following economic, social and political conditions in Brazil:

interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations;
the supply and price of energy;
inflation;
exchange controls and restrictions (including restrictions on remittance of dividends);
monetary policy;
tax policy;
environmental policy;
policies impacting Brazil’ logistical infrastructure;
liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;
social and political instability;
policies and actions to combat corruption and kickback practices; and
other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.

The Brazilian government frequently intervenes to address various economic, social and political conditions occurring in Brazil and the Brazilian government has often changed monetary, taxation, credit, tariff and other policies to influence the Brazilian economy. For example, the Brazilian government actions to control inflation and stabilize the economy have in the past involved the setting of wage and price controls and fluctuation in the Brazilian Central Bank base interest rates, blocking access to bank accounts, imposing exchange controls and limiting imports into Brazil. Actions taken by the Brazilian government concerning the economy may have significant effects on Brazilian companies, including Ferrous Resources. For example, in the past, the Brazilian government maintained domestic price controls, and Ferrous Resources cannot assure you that price controls will not be re-imposed in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our Mining segment. Our Mining segment's financial condition and results of operations may also be materially and adversely affected by the following factors and the Brazilian government actions in response to them:

interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations;
the supply and price of energy;
inflation;
exchange controls and restrictions (including restrictions on remittance of dividends);
monetary policy;
tax policy;
environmental policy;
policies impacting Brazil’ logistical infrastructure;
liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;
social and political instability;
policies and actions to combat corruption and kickback practices; and
other political, diplomatic, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.



96


Ferrous Resources has no control over these factors, and cannot predict what policies or actions the Brazilian government may take in the future and whether these policies will negatively affect the economy and our Mining segment's business, financial condition and results of operations.
Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian government will implement changes in policies or regulations affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and to heightened volatility of Brazilian companies. Historically, the political situation in Brazil has influenced the performance of the Brazilian economy. Past political crises have affected the confidence of investors and the public, generally resulting in an economic slowdown and volatility of securities offered by Brazilian companies. Recently, during 2013 and 2014, wide-scale protests throughout Brazil focused on economic and political reform and have led to heightened volatility. Following these protests, the Brazilian Central Bank cut its growth forecasts and cited volatility as a risk factor. This volatility was heightened by Standard & Poor’s downgrade of Brazil’s long-term debt rating to BBB- on March 24, 2014. In addition, recent developments relating to allegations of corruption that affect Petróleo Brasileiro S.A., negatively impact the political situation and the economy of Brazil and contribute to increased volatility.
Rating agencies could downgrade Brazil’s long-term debt rating in the future which could adversely impact the Brazilian economy. Any downgrade to Brazil's long-term credit rating could limit Ferrous Resources’ ability to access funding and increase its borrowing costs, thereby adversely impacting our Mining segment's business, results of operations, financial condition.
