Owens-Illinois, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is the successor to a business established 
in 1903. The Company is the largest manufacturer of glass containers in the world with 79 glass manufacturing 
plants in 23 countries. It competes in the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market and is the 
leading glass container manufacturer in most of the countries where it has manufacturing facilities.

(cid:26)(cid:3)(cid:18)?(cid:12)(cid:15)(cid:14)(cid:5)>(cid:6)(cid:4)(cid:12)(cid:6)(cid:8)+(cid:14)

The Company’s strategy is to provide innovative and competitive packaging solutions for the world’s 
leading food and beverage companies. The Company’s goal is to enhance shareholder value and enable the 
future success of its customers and employees. The Company is employing a strategic plan to realize its goals 
and vision including:

expanding into attractive new markets; and evaluating expansion into the value chain.

The Company will achieve these ambitions by working together as One Team, One Enterprise, with One Plan.

<(cid:8)?(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:12)(cid:19)(cid:13)(cid:8)(cid:5)>(cid:8)+(cid:18)(cid:8)(cid:15)(cid:6)(cid:10)

The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations: Europe, North America, 
Latin America and Asia Pacific. In connection with the Company’s acquisition (the “Vitro Acquisition”) of 
the food and beverage glass container business of Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiaries as conducted in the 
United States, Mexico and Bolivia (the “Vitro Business”) on September 1, 2015, the Company has renamed the 
former South America segment to the Latin America segment. Information as to sales, earnings from continuing 
operations before interest expense (net), and provision for income taxes and excluding amounts related to 
certain items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations (“segment operating profit”), 
and total assets by reportable segment is included in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

*(cid:4)(cid:3)(cid:16)(cid:29)(cid:11)(cid:6)(cid:10)(cid:5)(cid:12)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:5)>(cid:8)(cid:4)[(cid:27)(cid:11)(cid:8)(cid:10)

The Company produces glass containers for alcoholic beverages, including beer, flavored malt beverages, 

spirits and wine. The Company also produces glass packaging for a variety of food items, soft drinks, teas, 
juices and pharmaceuticals. The Company manufactures glass containers in a wide range of sizes, shapes and 
colors and is active in new product development and glass container innovation.

(cid:26)(cid:29)(cid:10)(cid:6)(cid:3)(cid:18)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:10)

In most of the countries where the Company competes, it has the leading position in the glass container 
segment of the rigid packaging market based on sales revenue. The Company’s largest customers consist mainly 

1

of the leading global food and beverage manufacturers, including (in alphabetical order) Anheuser-Busch InBev, 
Carlsberg, Coca-Cola, Constellation, Diageo, Heineken, MillerCoors, Nestle, PepsiCo and Pernod Ricard. No 
customer represents more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated net sales. 

The Company sells most of its glass container products directly to customers under annual or multi-year 
supply agreements. Multi-year contracts typically provide for price adjustments based on cost changes. The 
Company also sells some of its products through distributors. Many customers provide the Company with 
regular estimates of their product needs, which enables the Company to schedule glass container production to 
maintain reasonable levels of inventory. Glass container manufacturing facilities are generally located in close 
proximity to customers.

The Company’s principal markets for glass container products are in Europe, North America, Latin 

America and Asia Pacific.

Europe.  The Company has a leading share of the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market in 

the European countries in which it operates, with 35 glass container manufacturing plants located in the Czech 
Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom. 
These plants primarily produce glass containers for the beer, wine, champagne, spirits, non-alcoholic beverages 
and food markets in these countries. The Company also has interests in two joint ventures that manufacture 
glass containers in Italy. Throughout Europe, the Company competes directly with a variety of glass container 
manufacturers including Verallia, Ardagh Group, Vetropack, Vidrala and BA Vidro.

North America.  The Company has 19 glass container manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Canada, and 
an interest in a joint venture that manufactures glass containers in the U.S. Also, the Company has a distribution 
facility used to import glass containers from its business in Mexico. The Company has the leading share of the 
glass container segment of the U.S. rigid packaging market, based on sales revenue by domestic producers. The 
principal glass container competitors in the U.S. are the Ardagh Group and Anchor Glass Container. Imports 
from China, Mexico, Taiwan and other countries also compete in U.S. glass container segments. Additionally, 
there are several major consumer packaged goods companies that self-manufacture glass containers.

Latin America.  The Company has 17 glass manufacturing plants in Latin America, located in Argentina, 

Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru. In 2015, the Company’s acquisition of the Vitro 
Business included six plants. In Latin America, the Company maintains a diversified portfolio serving 
several markets, including beer, non-alcoholic beverages, spirits, flavored malt beverages, wine, food and 
pharmaceuticals. The region also has a large infrastructure for returnable/refillable glass containers. The 
Company competes directly with Verallia in Brazil and Argentina, and does not believe that it competes with 
any other large, multinational glass container manufacturers in the rest of the region. 

Asia Pacific.  The Company has eight glass container manufacturing plants in the Asia Pacific region, 

located in Australia, China, Indonesia and New Zealand. It also has interests in joint venture operations in 
China, Malaysia and Vietnam. In Asia Pacific, the Company primarily produces glass containers for the 
beer, wine, food and non-alcoholic beverage markets. The Company competes directly with Orora Limited 
in Australia, and does not believe that it competes with any other large, multinational glass container 
manufacturers in the rest of the region. In China, the glass container segments of the packaging market are 
regional and highly fragmented with a large number of local competitors.

In addition to competing with other large and well-established manufacturers in the glass container 

segment, the Company competes in all regions with manufacturers of other forms of rigid packaging, 
principally aluminum cans and plastic containers. Competition is based on quality, price, service, innovation 
and the marketing attributes of the container. The principal competitors producing metal containers include 
Ball Corporation, Crown Holdings, Inc., and Silgan Holdings Inc. The principal competitors producing 
plastic containers include Amcor, Consolidated Container Holdings, LLC, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited, 
Plastipak Packaging, Inc. and Silgan Holdings Inc. The Company also competes with manufacturers of 
non-rigid packaging alternatives, including flexible pouches, aseptic cartons and bag-in-box containers.

2

The Company seeks to provide products and services to customers ranging from large multinationals 
to small local breweries and wineries in a way that creates a competitive advantage for the Company. The 
Company believes that it is often the glass container partner of choice because of its innovation and branding 
capabilities, its global footprint and its expertise in manufacturing know-how and process technology.

>(cid:8)(cid:12)(cid:10)(cid:3)(cid:15)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:27)(cid:6)(cid:14)

Sales of many glass container products such as beer, beverages and food are seasonal. Shipments in the 

U.S. and Europe are typically greater in the second and third quarters of the year, while shipments in the Asia 
Pacific region are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the year, and shipments in Latin America 
are typically greater the last three quarters of the year.

&(cid:12)(cid:15)(cid:29)(cid:28)(cid:12)(cid:11)(cid:6)(cid:29)(cid:4)(cid:27)(cid:15)+

The Company has 79 glass manufacturing plants. It constantly seeks to improve the productivity of these 
operations through the systematic upgrading of production capabilities, sharing of best practices among plants 
and effective training of employees.

The Company also provides engineering support for its glass manufacturing operations through facilities 

located in the U.S., Australia, France, Poland, Colombia and Peru.

The primary raw materials used in the Company’s glass container operations are sand, soda ash, limestone 

and recycled glass. Each of these materials, as well as the other raw materials used to manufacture glass 
containers, has historically been available in adequate supply from multiple sources. One of the sources is a 
soda ash mining operation in Wyoming in which the Company has a 25% interest.

;(cid:15)(cid:8)(cid:4)+(cid:14)

The Company’s glass container operations require a continuous supply of significant amounts of energy, 
principally natural gas, fuel oil and electrical power. Adequate supplies of energy are generally available at all 
of the Company’s manufacturing locations. Energy costs typically account for 10-20% of the Company’s total 
manufacturing costs, depending on the cost of energy, the type of energy available, the factory location and the 
particular energy requirements. The percentage of total cost related to energy can vary significantly because of 
volatility in market prices, particularly for natural gas and fuel oil in volatile markets such as North America 
and Europe.

In North America, more than 90% of the sales volume is represented by customer contracts that contain 
provisions that pass the commodity price of natural gas to the customer, effectively reducing the North America 
segment’s exposure to changing natural gas market prices. 

In Europe and Asia Pacific, the Company enters into fixed price contracts for a significant amount of its 

energy requirements. These contracts have terms that can range from one to three years. In Latin America, 
the Company primarily enters into fixed price contracts for its energy requirements in most of the countries in 
which it operates and the remaining energy requirements are subject to changing natural gas market prices and 
economic impacts. These fixed price contracts typically have terms of one to five years, and generally include 
annual price adjustments for inflation and for certain contracts price adjustments for foreign currency variation. 

Also, in order to limit the effects of fluctuations in market prices for natural gas, the Company uses 
commodity forward contracts related to its forecasted requirements. The objective of these forward contracts 
is to reduce potential volatility in cash flows and expense due to changing market prices. The Company 
continually evaluates the energy markets with respect to its forecasted energy requirements to optimize its use 
of commodity forward contracts.

Research, development and engineering constitute important parts of the Company’s technical 
activities. Expenditures for these activities were $65 million, $64 million and $63 million for 2016, 2015 
and 2014, respectively. The Company primarily focuses on advancements in the areas of product innovation, 
manufacturing process control, melting technology, automatic inspection, light-weighting and further 
automation of manufacturing activities. The Company’s research and development activities are conducted at 
its corporate facilities in Perrysburg, Ohio. During 2013, the Company completed the construction of a new 
research and development facility at this location. This facility has enabled the Company to expand its research 
and development capabilities.

The Company holds a large number of patents related to a wide variety of products and processes and has a 
substantial number of patent applications pending. While the aggregate of the Company’s patents are of material 
importance to its businesses, the Company does not consider that any patent or group of patents relating to 
a particular product or process is of material importance when judged from the standpoint of any individual 
segment or its businesses as a whole.

The Company has agreements to license its proprietary glass container technology and to provide technical 

assistance to a limited number of companies around the world. These agreements cover areas related to 
manufacturing and engineering assistance. The worldwide licensee network provides a stream of revenue to 
help support the Company’s development activities. In 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company earned $13 million, 
$12 million and $12 million, respectively, in royalties and net technical assistance revenue.

The Company is committed to reducing the impact its products and operations have on the environment. 

As part of this commitment, the Company has set targets for increasing the use of recycled glass in its 
manufacturing process, while reducing energy consumption and carbon dioxide equivalent (“CO2”) emissions. 
Specific actions taken by the Company include working with governments and other organizations to establish 
and financially support recycling initiatives, partnering with other entities throughout the supply chain to 
improve the effectiveness of recycling efforts, reducing the weight of glass packaging and investing in research 
and development to reduce energy consumption in its manufacturing process. The Company invests in 
technology and training to improve safety, reduce energy use, decrease emissions and increase the amount of 
cullet, or recycled glass, used in the production process.

The Company’s worldwide operations, in addition to other companies within the industry, are subject 
to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations and other legal requirements relating to environmental protection, 
including legal requirements governing investigation and clean-up of contaminated properties as well as water 
discharges, air emissions, waste management and workplace health and safety. The Company strives to abide by 
and uphold such laws and regulations.

Glass Recycling and Bottle Deposits

The Company is an important contributor to recycling efforts worldwide and is among the largest users 
of recycled glass containers. If sufficient high-quality recycled glass were available on a consistent basis, the 
Company has the technology to make glass containers containing a high proportion of recycled glass. Using 
recycled glass in the manufacturing process reduces energy costs and impacts the operating life and efficiency 
of the glass melting furnaces.

In the U.S., Canada, Europe and elsewhere, government authorities have adopted or are considering legal 

requirements that would mandate certain recycling rates, the use of recycled materials, or limitations on or 
preferences for certain types of packaging. The Company believes that governments worldwide will continue to 
develop and enact legal requirements around guiding customer and end-consumer packaging choices.

4

Sales of beverage containers are affected by governmental regulation of packaging, including deposit 
laws and extended producer responsibility regulations. As of December 31, 2016, there were a number of U.S. 
states, Canadian provinces and territories, European countries and Australian states with some form of incentive 
for consumer returns of glass bottles in their law. The structure and enforcement of such laws and regulations 
can impact the sales of beverage containers in a given jurisdiction. Such laws and regulations also impact the 
availability of post-consumer recycled glass for the Company to use in container production.

A number of states and provinces have recently considered or are now considering laws and regulations 
to encourage curbside, deposit and on-premise glass recycling. Although there is no clear trend in the direction 
of these state and provincial laws and proposals, the Company believes that states and provinces, as well as 
municipalities within those jurisdictions, will continue to adopt recycling laws, which will impact supplies of 
recycled glass. As a large user of recycled glass for making new glass containers, the Company has an interest 
in laws and regulations impacting supplies of such material in its markets.

Air Emissions

In Europe, the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (“EUETS”) is in effect to facilitate emissions 

reduction. The Company’s manufacturing facilities which operate in EU countries must restrict the volume 
of their CO2 emissions to the level of their individually allocated emissions allowances as set by country 
regulators. If the actual level of emissions for any facility exceeds its allocated allowance, additional allowances 
can be bought to cover deficits; conversely, if the actual level of emissions for any facility is less than its 
allocation, the excess allowances can be sold. The EUETS has not had a material effect on the Company’s 
results to date. However, should the regulators significantly restrict the number of emissions allowances 
available, it could have a material effect in the future.

In North America, the U.S. and Canada are engaged in significant legislative and regulatory activity 
relating to CO2 emissions, at the federal, state and provincial levels of government. The U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulates emissions of hazardous air pollutants under the Clean Air Act, which 
grants the EPA authority to establish limits for certain air pollutants and to require compliance, levy penalties 
and bring civil judicial action against violators. The structure and scope of the EPA’s CO2 regulations are 
currently the subject of litigation and are expected to be the subject of federal legislative activity. The EPA 
regulations, if preserved as proposed, could have a significant long-term impact on the Company’s U.S. 
operations. The EPA also implemented the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, which set stringent emissions limits 
in many states starting in 2012. The state of California in the U.S., and the provinces of Quebec and Ontario in 
Canada, have adopted cap-and-trade legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In Asia Pacific, the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 commenced on July 1, 2008 in 

Australia and established a mandatory reporting system for corporate greenhouse gas emissions and energy 
production and consumption. In July 2014, the Australian government introduced the Emissions Reduction 
Fund (“ERF”) which comprises an element to credit emissions reductions, a fund to purchase emissions 
reductions and a safeguard mechanism. The ERF purchases the lowest cost abatement (in the form of Australian 
carbon credit units) from a wide range of sources, providing an incentive to businesses, households and 
landowners to proactively reduce their emissions, while the safeguard mechanism (effective from July 1, 
2016) ensures that emissions reductions paid for through the crediting and purchasing elements of the ERF are 
not offset by significant increases in emissions above business-as-usual levels elsewhere in the economy. An 
emissions trading scheme has been in effect in New Zealand since 2008.

In Latin America, the Brazilian government passed a law in 2009 requiring companies to reduce the 
level of greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2025. In the other Latin American countries, national and local 
governments are considering proposals that would also impose regulations to reduce CO2 emissions.

The Company is unable to predict what environmental legal requirements may be adopted in the future. 
However, the Company continually monitors its operations in relation to environmental impacts and invests 
in environmentally friendly and emissions-reducing projects. As such, the Company has made significant 

5

expenditures for environmental improvements at certain of its facilities over the last several years; however, 
these expenditures did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or cash flows. 
The Company is unable to predict the impact of future environmental legal requirements on its results of 
operations or cash flows.

The Company’s worldwide operations employed approximately 27,000 persons as of December 31, 

2016. Approximately 74% of North American employees are hourly workers covered by collective 
bargaining agreements. The principal collective bargaining agreement, which at December 31, 2016, covered 
approximately 76% of the Company’s union-affiliated employees in North America, will expire on March 31, 
2019. Approximately 86% of employees in Latin America are covered by collective bargaining agreements. 
The majority of the hourly workers in Australia and New Zealand are also covered by collective bargaining 
agreements. The collective bargaining agreements in Latin America, Australia and New Zealand have varying 
terms and expiration dates. In Europe, a large number of the Company’s employees are employed in countries in 
which employment laws provide greater bargaining or other rights to employees than the laws of the U.S. Such 
employment rights require the Company to work collaboratively with the legal representatives of the employees 
to effect any changes to labor arrangements. The Company considers its employee relations to be good and does 
not anticipate any material work stoppages in the near term.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Asbestos-Related Liability—The Company has made, and will continue to make, substantial payments 

to resolve claims of persons alleging exposure to asbestos-containing products and may need to record 
additional charges in the future for estimated asbestos-related costs. These substantial payments have 
affected and may continue to affect the Company’s cost of borrowing, its ability to pursue global or domestic 
acquisitions, its ability to reinvest in its operations, and its ability to pay dividends.

The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging bodily injury and death as a result of exposure 
to asbestos. From 1948 to 1958, one of the Company’s former business units commercially produced and sold 
approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material 
containing asbestos. The Company exited the insulation business in April 1958. The typical asbestos personal 
injury lawsuit alleges various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability 
and seeks compensatory, and in some cases, punitive damages, in various amounts (herein referred to as 
“asbestos claims”).

Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total 
of approximately $4.9 billion through 2016, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability. The 
Company’s ability to estimate its liability has been significantly affected by, among other factors, the volatility 
of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the significant number of co-defendants that have filed for 
bankruptcy, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns against the Company, the 
significant expansion of the defendants that are now sued in this litigation, and the continuing changes in the 
extent to which these defendants participate in the resolution of cases in which the Company is also a defendant.

For many years, the Company has conducted a comprehensive legal review of its asbestos-related liabilities 

and costs annually in connection with finalizing its annual results of operations. In May 2016, the Company 
revised its method for estimating its asbestos-related liabilities in connection with finalizing and reporting its 
restated results of operations for the three years ended December 31, 2015. Its revised method uses estimated 
future claims filings provided by a third party consultant and the Company’s legal judgment regarding estimated 
future indemnity and legal costs to develop a reasonable estimate of its total asbestos-related liabilities.  The 
revised methodology has led the Company to conclude that an asbestos liability of $692 million was required as 
of December 31, 2016. 

The Company continues to believe that its ultimate asbestos-related liability cannot be estimated with 

certainty.  As part of its future annual comprehensive legal reviews, the Company will review its estimate of 
its total asbestos-related liability, unless significant changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier 
review.  Such reviews may result in significant adjustments to the liability accrued at the time of the review.  

The significant assumptions underlying the material components of the Company’s accrual are:

a)  settlements will continue to be limited almost exclusively to claimants who were exposed to the 

Company’s asbestos-containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;

b)  claims will continue to be resolved primarily under the Company’s administrative claims agreements 

or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;

c) 

the incidence of serious asbestos-related disease cases and claiming patterns against the Company for 
such cases do not change materially;

d) 

the Company is substantially able to defend itself successfully at trial and on appeal;

e) 

the number and timing of additional co-defendant bankruptcies do not change significantly the assets 
available to participate in the resolution of cases in which the Company is a defendant; and

f)  co-defendants with substantial resources and assets continue to participate significantly in the 

resolution of future asbestos lawsuits and claims.

8

The ultimate amount of distributions that may be required to fund the Company’s asbestos-related 
payments cannot be estimated with certainty. Asbestos-related payments continue to be substantial and the 
continued use of significant amounts of cash for asbestos-related costs has affected and may continue to affect 
the Company’s cost of borrowing, its ability to pursue global or domestic acquisitions, its ability to reinvest in 
its operations, and its ability to pay dividends. 

Substantial Leverage—The Company’s indebtedness could adversely affect the Company’s financial health.

The Company has a significant amount of debt. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately 

$5.3 billion of total debt outstanding, a decrease from $5.6 billion at December 31, 2015.

The Company’s indebtedness could result in the following consequences:

• 

• 

Increased vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

Increased vulnerability to interest rate increases for the portion of the debt under the secured 
credit agreement;

•  Require the Company to dedicate a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to payments 

on indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flow to fund working capital, 
capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, development efforts and other general 
corporate purposes;

•  Limit flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in the Company’s business and the rigid 

packaging market;

• 

Place the Company at a competitive disadvantage relative to its competitors that have less debt; and

•  Limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the documents governing 
indebtedness, among other things, the Company’s ability to borrow additional funds.

Ability to Service Debt—To service its indebtedness, the Company will require a significant amount of cash. 
The Company’s ability to generate cash and refinance certain indebtedness depends on many factors beyond 
its control.

The Company’s ability to make payments on and to refinance its indebtedness and to fund working capital, 

capital expenditures, acquisitions, development efforts and other general corporate purposes depends on its 
ability to generate cash in the future. The Company has no assurance that it will generate sufficient cash flow 
from operations, or that future borrowings will be available under the secured credit agreement, in an amount 
sufficient to enable the Company to pay its indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. If short term interest 
rates increase, the Company’s debt service cost will increase because some of its debt is subject to short term 
variable interest rates. At December 31, 2016, the Company’s debt subject to variable interest rates represented 
approximately 34% of total debt.

The Company may need to refinance all or a portion of its indebtedness on or before maturity. If the 

Company is unable to generate sufficient cash flow and is unable to refinance or extend outstanding borrowings 
on commercially reasonable terms or at all, it may have to take one or more of the following actions:

•  Reduce or delay capital expenditures planned for replacements, improvements and expansions;

• 

Sell assets;

•  Restructure debt; and/or

•  Obtain additional debt or equity financing.

The Company can provide no assurance that it could affect or implement any of these alternatives on 

satisfactory terms, if at all.

9

Debt Restrictions—The Company may not be able to finance future needs or adapt its business plans 
to changes because of restrictions placed on it by the secured credit agreement and the indentures and 
instruments governing other indebtedness.

The secured credit agreement, the indentures governing the senior debentures and notes, and certain of the 
agreements governing other indebtedness contain affirmative and negative covenants that limit the ability of the 
Company to take certain actions. For example, these indentures restrict, among other things, the ability of the 
Company and its restricted subsidiaries to borrow money, pay dividends on, or redeem or repurchase its stock, 
make investments, create liens, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and sell certain assets or merge 
with or into other companies. These restrictions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to operate its 
businesses and may limit its ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise.

Failure to comply with these or other covenants and restrictions contained in the secured credit agreement, 

the indentures or agreements governing other indebtedness could result in a default under those agreements, 
and the debt under those agreements, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due 
and payable. If a default occurs under the secured credit agreement, the Company could no longer request 
borrowings under the secured credit agreement, and the lenders could cause all of the outstanding debt 
obligations under such secured credit agreement to become due and payable, which would result in a default 
under a number of other outstanding debt securities and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related 
to these debt securities. A default under the secured credit agreement, indentures or agreements governing 
other indebtedness could also lead to an acceleration of debt under other debt instruments that contain cross 
acceleration or cross-default provisions.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates—The Company is subject to the effects of fluctuations in foreign 
currency exchange rates, which could adversely impact the Company’s financial results.

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. A significant portion of the Company’s net sales, 

costs, assets and liabilities are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro, 
Brazilian real, Colombian peso, Mexican peso and Australian dollar. In its consolidated financial statements, the 
Company remeasures transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting 
entity (e.g. soda ash purchases) and translates local currency financial results into U.S. dollars based on the 
exchange rates prevailing during the reporting period. During times of a strengthening U.S. dollar, the reported 
revenues and earnings of the Company’s international operations will be reduced because the local currencies 
will translate into fewer U.S. dollars. This could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial 
condition, results of operations and cash flows.

International Operations—The Company is subject to risks associated with operating in foreign countries.

The Company operates manufacturing and other facilities throughout the world. Net sales from non-U.S. 

operations totaled approximately $4.6 billion, representing approximately 69% of the Company’s net sales 
for the year ended December 31, 2016. As a result of its non-U.S. operations, the Company is subject to risks 
associated with operating in foreign countries, including:

• 

Political, social and economic instability;

•  War, civil disturbance or acts of terrorism;

•  Taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation;

•  Changes in governmental policies and regulations;

•  Devaluations and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

• 

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and other impacts resulting from the United Kingdom’s 
referendum on withdrawal from the European Union;

10

• 

• 

Imposition of limitations on conversions of foreign currencies into dollars or remittance of dividends 
and other payments by foreign subsidiaries;

Imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by 
foreign subsidiaries;

•  Hyperinflation in certain foreign countries;

• 

Impositions or increase of investment and other restrictions or requirements by foreign governments;

•  Loss or non-renewal of treaties or other agreements with foreign tax authorities;

•  Changes in tax laws, or the interpretation thereof, affecting foreign tax credits or tax deductions 

relating to our non-U.S. earnings or operations; and

•  Complying with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits companies and their 

intermediaries from engaging in bribery or other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the 
purposes of obtaining or retaining business or gaining an unfair business advantage and requires 
companies to maintain accurate books and records and internal controls.

The risks associated with operating in foreign countries may have a material adverse effect on operations.

Competition—The Company faces intense competition from other glass container producers, as well as 
from makers of alternative forms of packaging. Competitive pressures could adversely affect the Company’s 
financial health.

The Company is subject to significant competition from other glass container producers, as well as from 
makers of alternative forms of packaging, such as aluminum cans and plastic containers. The Company also 
competes with manufacturers of non-rigid packaging alternatives, including flexible pouches and aseptic 
cartons, in serving the packaging needs of certain end-use markets, including juice customers. The Company 
competes with each rigid packaging competitor on the basis of price, quality, service and the marketing and 
functional attributes of the container. Advantages or disadvantages in any of these competitive factors may be 
sufficient to cause the customer to consider changing suppliers and/or using an alternative form of packaging. 
The adverse effects of consumer purchasing decisions may be more significant in periods of economic 
downturn and may lead to longer term reductions in consumer spending on glass packaged products.

Pressures from competitors and producers of alternative forms of packaging have resulted in excess 

capacity in certain countries in the past and have led to capacity adjustments and significant pricing pressures in 
the rigid packaging market.

Lower Demand Levels—Changes in consumer preferences may have a material adverse effect on the 
Company’s financial results.

Changes in consumer preferences for the food and beverages they consume can reduce demand for the 

Company’s products. Because many of the Company’s products are used to package consumer goods, the 
Company’s sales and profitability could be negatively impacted by changes in consumer preferences for those 
products. Examples of changes in consumer preferences include, but are not limited to, lower sales of major 
domestic beer brands and shifts from beer to wine or spirits that results in the use of fewer glass containers. In 
periods of lower demand, the Company’s sales and production levels may decrease causing a material adverse 
effect on the Company’s profitability.

High Energy Costs—Higher energy costs worldwide and interrupted power supplies may have a material 
adverse effect on operations.

Electrical power, natural gas, and fuel oil are vital to the Company’s operations as it relies on a continuous 

energy supply to conduct its business. Depending on the location and mix of energy sources, energy accounts 

11

for 10% to 20% of total production costs. Substantial increases and volatility in energy costs could cause the 
Company to experience a significant increase in operating costs, which may have a material adverse effect 
on operations.

Global Economic Environment—The global credit, financial and economic environment could have a 
material adverse effect on operations and financial condition.

The global credit, financial and economic environment could have a material adverse effect on operations, 

including the following:

•  Downturns in the business or financial condition of any of the Company’s customers or suppliers could 

result in a loss of revenues or a disruption in the supply of raw materials;

•  Tightening of credit in financial markets could reduce the Company’s ability, as well as the ability of 

the Company’s customers and suppliers, to obtain future financing;

•  Volatile market performance could affect the fair value of the Company’s pension assets and liabilities, 

potentially requiring the Company to make significant additional contributions to its pension plans to 
maintain prescribed funding levels;

•  The deterioration of any of the lending parties under the Company’s revolving credit facility or the 
creditworthiness of the counterparties to the Company’s derivative transactions could result in such 
parties’ failure to satisfy their obligations under their arrangements with the Company; and

•  A significant weakening of the Company’s financial position or results of operations could result in 

noncompliance with the covenants under the Company’s indebtedness.

Business Integration Risks—The Company may not be able to effectively integrate additional businesses it 
has acquired or will acquire in the future.

The Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Vitro Acquisition will depend, to a large 

extent, on its ability to integrate the two businesses. The combination of two independent businesses is a 
complex, costly and time-consuming process and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to 
successfully integrate the Vitro Business into its business, or if such integration is successfully accomplished, 
that such integration will not be more costly or take longer than presently contemplated. Integration of the Vitro 
Acquisition may include various risks and uncertainties, including the factors discussed in the paragraph below. 
If the Company cannot successfully integrate and manage the Vitro Business within a reasonable time following 
the Vitro Acquisition, the Company may not be able to realize the potential and anticipated benefits of the Vitro 
Acquisition, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s share price, business, cash flows, 
results of operations and financial position.

The Company may also consider other strategic transactions, including acquisitions that will complement, 

strengthen and enhance growth in its worldwide glass operations. The Company evaluates opportunities on a 
preliminary basis from time to time, but these transactions may not advance beyond the preliminary stages or be 
completed. Such acquisitions are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including:

•  The inability to integrate effectively the operations, products, technologies and personnel of 

the acquired companies (some of which are located in diverse geographic regions) and achieve 
expected synergies;

•  The potential disruption of existing business and diversion of management’s attention from 

day-to-day operations;

•  The inability to maintain uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;

•  The need or obligation to divest portions of the acquired companies;

12

•  The potential impairment of relationships with customers;

•  The potential failure to identify material problems and liabilities during due diligence review of 

acquisition targets;

•  The potential failure to obtain sufficient indemnification rights to fully offset possible liabilities 

associated with acquired businesses; and

•  The challenges associated with operating in new geographic regions.

In addition, the Company cannot make assurances that the integration and consolidation of newly acquired 

businesses will achieve any anticipated cost savings and operating synergies.

Customer Consolidation—The continuing consolidation of the Company’s customer base may intensify 
pricing pressures and have a material adverse effect on operations.

Many of the Company’s largest customers have acquired companies with similar or complementary 
product lines. This consolidation has increased the concentration of the Company’s business with its largest 
customers. In many cases, such consolidation has been accompanied by pressure from customers for lower 
prices, reflecting the increase in the total volume of products purchased or the elimination of a price differential 
between the acquiring customer and the company acquired. Increased pricing pressures from the Company’s 
customers may have a material adverse effect on operations.

Operational Disruptions—Profitability could be affected by unanticipated operational disruptions.

The Company’s glass container manufacturing process is asset intensive and includes the use of large 
furnaces and machines. The Company periodically experiences unanticipated disruptions to its assets and these 
events can have an adverse effect on its business operations and profitability. The impacts of these operational 
disruptions include, but are not limited to, higher maintenance, production changeover and shipping costs, 
higher capital spending, as well as lower absorption of fixed costs during periods of extended downtime. The 
Company maintains insurance policies in amounts and with coverage and deductibles that are reasonable and 
in line with industry standards; however, this insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect the Company 
from all liabilities and expenses that may arise.

Seasonality—Profitability could be affected by varied seasonal demands.

Due principally to the seasonal nature of the consumption of beer and other beverages, for which demand 
is stronger during the summer months, sales of the Company’s products have varied and are expected to vary 
by quarter. Shipments in the U.S. and Europe are typically greater in the second and third quarters of the 
year, while shipments in the Asia Pacific region are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the 
year, and shipments in Latin America are typically greater in the last three quarters of the year. Unseasonably 
cool weather during peak demand periods can reduce demand for certain beverages packaged in the 
Company’s containers.

Raw Materials—Profitability could be affected by the availability and cost of raw materials.

The raw materials that the Company uses have historically been available in adequate supply from multiple 

sources. For certain raw materials, however, there may be temporary shortages due to weather or other factors, 
including disruptions in supply caused by raw material transportation or production delays. These shortages, as 
well as material volatility in the cost of any of the principal raw materials that the Company uses, may have a 
material adverse effect on operations.

In addition, the Company purchases its soda ash raw materials in U.S. dollars in the Latin America and 
Asia Pacific regions. Given fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, this may cause these regions to 
experience inflationary or deflationary impacts to their raw material costs.

13

Environmental Risks—The Company is subject to various environmental legal requirements and may be 
subject to new legal requirements in the future. These requirements may have a material adverse effect 
on operations.

The Company’s operations and properties are subject to extensive laws, ordinances, regulations and other 
legal requirements relating to environmental protection, including legal requirements governing investigation 
and clean-up of contaminated properties as well as water discharges, air emissions, waste management and 
workplace health and safety. Such legal requirements frequently change and vary among jurisdictions. The 
Company’s operations and properties must comply with these legal requirements. These requirements may have 
a material adverse effect on operations.

The Company has incurred, and expects to incur, costs for its operations to comply with environmental 
legal requirements, and these costs could increase in the future. Many environmental legal requirements provide 
for substantial fines, orders (including orders to cease operations), and criminal sanctions for violations. These 
legal requirements may apply to conditions at properties that the Company presently or formerly owned or 
operated, as well as at other properties for which the Company may be responsible, including those at which 
wastes attributable to the Company were disposed. A significant order or judgment against the Company, the 
loss of a significant permit or license or the imposition of a significant fine may have a material adverse effect 
on operations.

A number of governmental authorities have enacted, or are considering enacting, legal requirements that 
would mandate certain rates of recycling, the use of recycled materials and/or limitations on certain kinds of 
packaging materials. In addition, some companies with packaging needs have responded to such developments 
and/or perceived environmental concerns of consumers by using containers made in whole or in part of recycled 
materials. Such developments may reduce the demand for some of the Company’s products and/or increase the 
Company’s costs, which may have a material adverse effect on operations.

Taxes—Potential tax law and U.S. trade policy changes could adversely affect net income and cash flow.

The Company is subject to income tax in the numerous jurisdictions in which it operates. Increases in 
income tax rates or other tax law changes, as well as ongoing audits by domestic and international authorities, 
could reduce the Company’s net income and cash flow from affected jurisdictions. In particular, potential 
tax law changes in the U.S. regarding the treatment of the Company’s unrepatriated non-U.S. earnings, the 
deductibility of interest expense or the cost of materials imported from other countries could have a material 
adverse effect on net income and cash flow. In addition, the Company’s products are subject to import and 
excise duties and/or sales or value-added taxes in many jurisdictions in which it operates. Increases in these 
indirect taxes could affect the affordability of the Company’s products and, therefore, reduce demand.

In addition, existing free trade laws and regulations, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, 

provide certain beneficial duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports, subject to compliance with 
the applicable classification and other requirements. Changes in laws or policies governing the terms of 
foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where 
the Company manufactures products, such as Mexico, could have a material adverse effect on its business and 
financial results. Also, a government’s adoption of “buy national” policies or retaliation by another government 
against such policies may affect the prices of and demand for the Company’s products and could have a 
negative impact on the Company’s results of operations. 

Labor Relations—Some of the Company’s employees are unionized or represented by workers’ councils.

The Company is party to a number of collective bargaining agreements with labor unions which at 
December 31, 2016, covered approximately 74% of the Company’s employees in North America. The 
principal collective bargaining agreement, which at December 31, 2016 covered approximately 76% of the 
Company’s union-affiliated employees in North America, will expire on March 31, 2019. Approximately 86% 
of employees in Latin America are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The majority of the hourly 

14

workers in Australia and New Zealand are also covered by collective bargaining agreements. The collective 
bargaining agreements in Latin America, Australia and New Zealand have varying terms and expiration dates. 
Upon the expiration of any collective bargaining agreement, if the Company is unable to negotiate acceptable 
contracts with labor unions, it could result in strikes by the affected workers and increased operating costs 
as a result of higher wages or benefits paid to union members. In Europe, a large number of the Company’s 
employees are employed in countries in which employment laws provide greater bargaining or other rights 
to employees than the laws of the U.S. Such employment rights require the Company to work collaboratively 
with the legal representatives of the employees to effect any changes to labor arrangements. For example, most 
of the Company’s employees in Europe are represented by workers’ councils that must approve any changes 
in conditions of employment, including salaries and benefits and staff changes, and may impede efforts to 
restructure the Company’s workforce. In addition, if the Company’s employees were to engage in a strike 
or other work stoppage, the Company could experience a significant disruption of operations and/or higher 
ongoing labor costs, which may have a material adverse effect on operations.

Key Management and Personnel Retention—Failure to retain key management and personnel could have a 
material adverse effect on operations.

The Company believes that its future success depends, in part, on its experienced management team and 

certain key personnel. The loss of certain key management and personnel could limit the Company’s ability to 
implement its business plans and meet its objectives.

Joint Ventures—Failure by joint venture partners to observe their obligations could have a material adverse 
effect on operations.

A portion of the Company’s operations is conducted through joint ventures, including joint ventures in the 
Europe, North America, Asia Pacific segments and in retained corporate costs and other. If the Company’s joint 
venture partners do not observe their obligations or are unable to commit additional capital to the joint ventures, 
it is possible that the affected joint venture would not be able to operate in accordance with its business plans, 
which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Cybersecurity and Information Technology—Security threats and the failure or disruption of the integrity 
of the Company’s information technology, or those of third parties with which it does business, could have a 
material adverse effect on its business and the results of operations.

The Company relies on information technology to operate its plants, to communicate with its employees, 
customers and suppliers, to store sensitive business information and intellectual property, and to report financial 
and operating results. As with all large systems, the Company’s information technology systems could fail on 
their own accord or may be vulnerable to a variety of interruptions due to events, including, but not limited 
to, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, telecommunications failures, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, threats and 
more sophisticated and targeted cyber-related attacks. The Company’s disaster recovery programs and other 
preventative measures may be unable to prevent the failure or disruption of the Company’s information 
technology systems, which could result in transaction errors, loss of customers, business disruptions, or loss of 
or damage to intellectual property and could have a material adverse effect on operations.

As cyberattacks on various organizations have increased, the Company’s information technology systems 

may be subject to increased security threats. The Company’s measures in place to prevent and detect global 
security threats may be unable to prevent certain security breaches. This may result in the loss of customers and 
business opportunities, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, reimbursement or other 
compensatory costs, and additional compliance costs. Failure or disruption of these systems, or the back-up 
systems, for any reason could disrupt the Company’s operations and negatively impact the Company’s cash 
flows or financial condition.

15

Accounting Estimates—The Company’s financial results are based upon estimates and assumptions that may 
differ from actual results.

In preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted 
accounting principles, several estimates and assumptions are made that affect the accounting for and recognition 
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions must be made due to certain 
information used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements which is dependent on future events, 
cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available or is not capable of being readily 
calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. The Company believes that accounting for long-lived 
assets, pension benefit plans, contingencies and litigation, and income taxes involves the more significant 
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. Actual results for all 
estimates could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions that the Company uses, which could have 
a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Accounting Standards—The adoption of new accounting standards or interpretations could adversely impact 
the Company’s financial results.

New accounting standards or pronouncements could adversely affect the Company’s operating results or 
cause unanticipated fluctuations in its results in future periods. The accounting rules and regulations that the 
Company must comply with are complex and continually changing. In addition, many companies’ accounting 
policies are being subjected to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. The Company cannot predict 
the impact of future changes to accounting principles or its accounting policies on its financial statements 
going forward.

Goodwill—A significant write down of goodwill would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s 
reported results of operations and net worth.

Goodwill at December 31, 2016 totaled $2.5 billion. The Company evaluates goodwill annually (or more 

frequently if impairment indicators arise) for impairment using the required business valuation methods. These 
methods include the use of a weighted average cost of capital to calculate the present value of the expected 
future cash flows of the Company’s reporting units. Future changes in the cost of capital, expected cash flows, 
or other factors may cause the Company’s goodwill to be impaired, resulting in a non-cash charge against 
results of operations to write down goodwill for the amount of the impairment. If a significant write down is 
required, the charge would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reported results of operations and 
net worth.

Pension Funding—An increase in the underfunded status of the Company’s pension plans could adversely 
impact the Company’s operations, financial condition and liquidity.

The Company contributed $38 million, $17 million and $28 million to its defined benefit pension plans 

in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The amount the Company is required to contribute to these plans is 
determined by the laws and regulations governing each plan, and is generally related to the funded status of the 
plans. A deterioration in the value of the plans’ investments or a decrease in the discount rate used to calculate 
plan liabilities generally would increase the underfunded status of the plans. An increase in the underfunded 
status of the plans could result in an increase in the Company’s obligation to make contributions to the plans, 
thereby reducing the cash available for working capital and other corporate uses, and may have an adverse 
impact on the Company’s operations, financial condition and liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists 
of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision for 
income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative of 
ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs. The segment data presented below is prepared in 
accordance with general accounting principles for segment reporting. The line titled “reportable segment totals”, 
however, is a non-GAAP measure when presented outside of the financial statement footnotes. Management 
has included reportable segment totals below to facilitate the discussion and analysis of financial condition and 
results of operations. The Company’s management uses segment operating profit, in combination with selected 
cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate resources.

Financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments is as follows (dollars in millions):

2016 Highlights

•  The September 1, 2015 Vitro Acquisition increased net sales by $608 million and segment operating 

profit by $122 million in 2016 compared to 2015

•  Net sales in 2016 were $6.7 billion, up 9% from the prior year, primarily due to incremental net sales 
from the Vitro Acquisition. Excluding the acquisition, shipments were comparable in both periods

•  Driven by the Vitro Acquisition and progress on strategic initiatives, segment operating profit was 

higher in all regions, except for Asia Pacific, in 2016 compared to the prior year

• 

Issued €500 million of senior notes due 2024 and repaid higher-cost floating-rate debt

Net sales increased by $546 million compared to the prior year primarily due to approximately $608 
million of incremental net sales from the Vitro Acquisition and slightly higher pricing, partially offset by the 
unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and an unfavorable sales mix.

Segment operating profit for reportable segments increased by $142 million compared to the prior year. The 

increase was largely attributable to approximately $122 million of incremental segment operating profit from 
the acquired Vitro Business.  Higher selling prices also increased segment operating profit.  Partially offsetting 
this was the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and higher operating costs due to 
cost inflation.

 Net interest expense in 2016 increased $21 million compared to 2015. Net interest expense included 

$9 million and $42 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, for note repurchase premiums and the write-off 
of finance fees related to debt that was repaid prior to its maturity. Exclusive of these items, net interest 
expense increased $54 million in the current year primarily due to higher debt levels associated with the 
Vitro Acquisition.

For 2016, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $216 

million, or $1.32 per share (diluted), compared with earnings of $139 million, or $0.85 per share (diluted), 
for 2015. Earnings in both periods included items that management considered not representative of ongoing 
operations. These items decreased earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company by 
$160 million, or $0.99 per share, in 2016 and $186 million, or $1.15 per share, in 2015.

Results of Operations—Comparison of 2016 with 2015

Net Sales

The Company’s net sales in 2016 were $6,702 million compared with $6,156 million in 2015, an increase 
of $546 million, or 9%. Driven by incremental shipments related to the Vitro Acquisition, total glass container 
shipments, in tonnes, were up approximately 9% in 2016 compared to 2015. The Vitro Acquisition resulted in 
approximately $608 million of additional sales. Excluding the impact of the Vitro Acquisition, shipments in 
2016 were comparable to 2015. On a global basis, sales volumes of beer, wine, spirits, food and non-alcoholic 
beverages all grew year-on-year. However, an unfavorable sales mix resulted in $41 million of lower net sales in 
2016. Net sales also benefited from $79 million in higher selling prices in 2016. Unfavorable foreign currency 
exchange rates, primarily due to a weaker Brazilian real, Mexican peso, Colombian peso, Canadian dollar and 
British pound in relation to the U.S. dollar, impacted sales by $108 million in 2016 compared to 2015.

Europe:  Net sales in Europe in 2016 were $2,300 million compared with $2,324 million in 2015, a 

decrease of $24 million, or 1%. The primary reason for the decline in net sales in 2016 was a $28 million impact 
due to foreign currency exchange rates, as the British pound weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar. Glass 
container shipments in 2016, primarily to beer and wine customers, increased approximately 2% compared to 
the prior year and this increased net sales by $30 million. Selling prices decreased in Europe due to competitive 
pressures and resulted in a $26 million decrease in net sales in 2016. This trend in lower prices is expected to 
continue into the first quarter of 2017.

North America:  Net sales in North America in 2016 were $2,220 million compared with $2,039 million in 

2015, an increase of $181 million, or 9%. Net sales from the acquired Vitro food and beverage business in the 
United States increased the region’s net sales by $196 million in 2016. Total glass container shipments were 
up nearly 7% in 2016 compared to 2015, primarily due to the acquired business and higher shipments in all 
major end uses except beer, which was on par with prior year. Excluding the impact of the Vitro Acquisition in 
the region, glass container shipments were up nearly 1% in 2016, however, an unfavorable sales mix resulted 
in $36 million of lower sales. This impact to sales mix was due to several customers converting a portion of 
their glass shipments from carton packaging to bulk shipments. Higher selling prices as a result of contractual 
pass throughs increased net sales by $25 million in 2016. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes 
decreased net sales by $4 million, as the Canadian dollar weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar.  

Latin America:  Net sales in Latin America in 2016 were $1,432 million compared with $1,064 million 
in 2015, an increase of $368 million, or 35%. Net sales from the acquired Vitro food and beverage business 
in Mexico and Bolivia increased the region’s net sales by approximately $412 million in 2016. Total glass 
container shipments were up approximately 41% in 2016. Excluding the impact of the Vitro Acquisition in 
the region, glass container shipments were down approximately 3% in 2016. This decline impacted net sales 
by approximately $40 million and was primarily due to a general economic slowdown in Brazil and Ecuador, 
which is expected to continue into 2017, partially offset by growth in Colombia and Peru. The unfavorable 
effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $75 million in 2016 compared to 2015, 
principally due to a decline in the Brazilian real, Colombian peso, and the Mexican peso in relation to the U.S. 
dollar. Improved pricing in the current year benefited net sales by $71 million.

Asia Pacific:  Net sales in Asia Pacific in 2016 were $684 million compared with $671 million for 2015, an 
increase of $13 million, or 2%. Glass container shipments were down approximately 3% compared to the prior 
year, however, a slightly more favorable sales mix increased net sales by $5 million in 2016. Sales volumes in 
mature markets in the region were higher than prior year, but production volumes in those countries were lower 
due to planned engineering activity. These lower production volumes in the mature markets were supported by 
importing from emerging markets in the region, which in turn, led to lower domestic sales in those markets. 
Higher prices increased net sales by $9 million in the current year. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency 
exchange rate changes decreased net sales $1 million in 2016 compared to 2015. 

Earnings from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes and Segment Operating Profit

Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes were $356 million in 2016 compared to $268 

million in 2015, an increase of $88 million, or 33%. This increase was primarily due to higher segment 
operating profit, partially offset by higher retained corporate costs and higher net interest expense.

Operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on 

both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Unallocated 
corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are 
included in Retained corporate costs and other. For further information, see Segment Information included in 
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in 2016 was $882 million compared to $740 million in 
2015, an increase of $142 million, or 19%. The increase was largely attributable to approximately $122 million 
of segment operating profit from the acquired Vitro Business. Higher selling prices also increased segment 
operating profit by $79 million. Partially offsetting this was the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign 
currency exchange rates ($26 million) and higher operating costs ($25 million), primarily due to inflation.

The change in segment operating profit of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars 

in millions):

Europe:  Segment operating profit in Europe in 2016 was $237 million compared with $209 million in 
2015, an increase of $28 million, or 13%. The increase in sales volume discussed above improved segment 
operating profit by $7 million. Segment operating profit also benefited from $51 million in lower operating 
costs in 2016 than in the prior year due to energy deflation and improved operational performance. In 2015, 
production volumes were lower due to asset optimization projects that have now been completed. In addition, 
the region received an energy credit of approximately $10 million from a local government entity in 2016 that 
had been delayed for legislative reasons in 2015. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates, 
especially the British pound, decreased segment operating profit by $14 million in 2016 compared to the prior 
year. Lower selling prices also decreased segment operating profit by $26 million.

North America:  Segment operating profit in North America in 2016 was $299 million compared with 
$265 million in 2015, an increase of $34 million, or 13%. Segment operating profit from the acquired Vitro food 
and beverage glass container distribution business in the region contributed $28 million of incremental profit in 
2016. Higher selling prices as a result of contractual pass throughs increased segment operating profit by $25 
million in 2016 compared to 2015. Higher production volumes and improved operating efficiencies were more 
than offset by cost inflation. Together, this contributed to a $13 million reduction to segment operating profit 
in 2016. The unfavorable sales mix discussed above reduced segment operating profit by $5 million. Also, the 
unfavorable effects of the weakening of the Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar decreased segment 
operating profit by $1 million. 

Latin America:  Segment operating profit in Latin America in 2016 was $269 million compared with 
$183 million in 2015, an increase of $86 million, or 47%. Segment operating profit from the acquired Vitro 
food and beverage business contributed approximately $94 million of incremental profit to the region in 
2016.  Excluding the impact of the Vitro Acquisition, the decline in sales volume discussed above reduced 
segment operating profit by $13 million. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate changes, especially 
the Brazilian real, Colombian peso and Mexican peso, decreased segment operating profit by $14 million in 
the current year. Despite management interventions to contain costs and improve asset optimization, segment 
operating profit was also unfavorably impacted by $57 million of higher operating costs, primarily due to 
energy and soda ash inflation in the region. Partially offsetting these declines were higher selling prices that 
increased segment operating profit by $71 million in 2016. In addition, approximately $5 million of gains 
related to non-strategic asset sales benefited 2016.  

27

 
 
 
 
Asia Pacific:  Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in 2016 was $77 million compared with $83 million 

in 2015, a decrease of $6 million, or 7%. Cost inflation, higher production downtime due to furnace rebuild 
activity and higher costs for intra-regional shipments drove operating costs $21 million higher in 2016 
compared to the prior year. The favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates increased segment 
operating profit by $3 million in 2016. The more favorable sales mix discussed above improved segment 
operating profit by $3 million. Higher selling prices also increased segment operating profit by $9 million in the 
current year.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense in 2016 was $272 million compared with $251 million in 2015. Net interest expense 

included $9 million and $42 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, for note repurchase premiums and the 
write-off of finance fees related to debt that was repaid prior to its maturity. Exclusive of these items, net 
interest expense increased $54 million in the current year primarily due to higher debt levels associated with the 
Vitro Acquisition.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2016 was 33.4%, compared with 39.6% 

for 2015. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2016 was lower than 2015 due to the impact of significant costs 
related to refinancing, restructuring and acquisition-related costs in 2015 within jurisdictions that generated 
little or no tax benefit.

Excluding the amounts related to items that management considers not representative of ongoing 

operations, the Company’s effective tax rate for 2016 was approximately 24%, compared with approximately 
25% for 2015. 

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for 2016 was $21 million compared to $23 million for 

2015. The decrease in 2016 was largely attributable to the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency 
exchange rates.

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

For 2016, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $216 

million, or $1.32 per share (diluted), compared with earnings of $139 million, or $0.85 per share (diluted), for 
2015. The after tax effects of the items excluded from segment operating profit, the unusual tax items and the 
additional interest charges increased or decreased earnings in 2016 and 2015 as set forth in the following table

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Given the global nature of its operations, the Company is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency 
exchange rates. As described above, the Company’s reported revenues and segment operating profit in 2016 
were reduced due to foreign currency effects compared to 2015.

This trend has continued into 2017 as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar. During times of a 

strengthening U.S. dollar, the reported revenues and segment operating profit of the Company’s international 
operations will be reduced because the local currencies will translate into fewer U.S. dollars. The Company 
uses certain derivative instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with changing foreign currency 
exchange rates.

2015 Highlights

•  The unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange rates reduced net sales by 13% and segment 

operating profit by 16% in 2015 compared to the prior year

•  Acquired the food and beverage glass container business of Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. for $2.297 billion

•  Entered into a new senior secured credit facility that matures in April 2020. To finance the Vitro 

Acquisition, this facility was then amended to borrow an incremental $1.25 billion.  The Company also 
issued $1 billion of senior notes due 2023 and 2025.

•  Repaid the senior notes due 2016

•  Repurchased $100 million of shares of common stock

Net sales decreased by $628 million compared to the prior year primarily due to the unfavorable effect of 
changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Net sales for 2015 included approximately $258 million from the 
acquired Vitro Business.

Segment operating profit for reportable segments decreased by $168 million compared to the prior year. 

The decrease was largely attributable to the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency exchange 
rates and higher operating costs due to cost inflation and lower operational performance in Europe. Segment 
operating profit for 2015 included approximately $46 million from the acquired Vitro Business.

Net interest expense in 2015 increased $21 million compared to 2014. The increase was due to higher note 

repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to debt that was repaid during 2015 prior to its 
maturity. Exclusive of these items, net interest expense decreased $1 million in the current year primarily due to 
debt management activities and the weaker Euro exchange rate in relation to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by 
an increase in net interest expense as a result of higher debt due to the Vitro Acquisition.

For 2015, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $139 

million, or $0.85 per share (diluted), compared with earnings of $187 million, or $1.13 per share (diluted), 
for 2014. Earnings in both periods included items that management considered not representative of ongoing 
operations. These items decreased earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company by 
$186 million, or $1.15 per share, in 2015 and $249 million, or $1.50 per share, in 2014.

Results of Operations—Comparison of 2015 with 2014

Net Sales

The Company’s net sales in 2015 were $6,156 million compared with $6,784 million in 2014, a decrease 

of $628 million. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, primarily due to a weaker Brazilian real, 
Colombian peso, Euro, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar, impacted sales by 

29

$881 million in 2015 compared to 2014. Driven by incremental shipments related to the Vitro Acquisition, 
total glass container shipments, in tonnes, were up approximately 3% in 2015 compared to 2014. The Vitro 
Acquisition resulted in approximately $258 million of additional sales. Excluding the impact of the Vitro 
Acquisition, shipments in 2015 were comparable to 2014. On a global basis, sales volumes of wine, spirits, 
food and non-alcoholic beverages all grew year-on-year. While sales volumes in the beer category declined by 
approximately 1%, driven by a decline in mainstream beer, shipments into craft and premium beer customers 
continued to expand. However, an unfavorable sales mix resulted in $47 million of lower net sales in 2015. Net 
sales also benefited from slightly higher selling prices in 2015.

The change in net sales of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars in millions):

Europe:  Net sales in Europe in 2015 were $2,324 million compared with $2,794 million in 2014, a 
decrease of $470 million, or 17%. The primary reason for the decline in net sales in the region in 2015 was a 
$445 million impact due to foreign currency exchange rates, as the Euro weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar. 
Glass container shipments in 2015 increased slightly compared to the prior year and this increased net sales 
by $9 million. Selling prices decreased in Europe due to competitive pressures and resulted in a $34 million 
decrease in net sales in 2015. This trend in lower prices is expected to continue into the first quarter of 2016.

North America:  Net sales in North America in 2015 were $2,039 million compared with $2,003 million 
in 2014, an increase of $36 million, or 2%. Net sales from the acquired Vitro food and beverage business in 
the United States increased the region’s net sales by $80 million in 2015. Total glass container shipments in the 
region were up 3% in 2015 compared to 2014. Excluding the impact of the Vitro Acquisition in the region, glass 
container shipments were up slightly in 2015, however, an unfavorable sales mix resulted in $4 million of lower 
sales. Lower selling prices decreased net sales by $14 million in 2015 due, in part, to the Company’s contractual 
pass through provisions of lower natural gas costs. Unfavorable foreign currency exchange rate changes 
decreased net sales by $26 million, as the Canadian dollar weakened in relation to the U.S. dollar.  

Latin America:  Net sales in Latin America in 2015 were $1,064 million compared with $1,159 million 

in 2014, a decrease of $95 million, or 8%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes 
decreased net sales $293 million in 2015 compared to 2014, principally due to a decline in the Brazilian real 
and the Colombian peso in relation to the U.S. dollar. Net sales from the acquired Vitro food and beverage 
business in Mexico and Bolivia increased the region’s net sales by approximately $178 million in 2015. Total 
glass container shipments were up approximately 18% in 2015. Excluding the impact of the Vitro Acquisition 
in the region, glass container shipments were down nearly 4% in 2015. This decline impacted net sales by 
approximately $45 million and was primarily due to a general economic slowdown in Brazil, which is expected 
to continue into 2016. Improved pricing in the current year benefited net sales by $65 million.

Asia Pacific:  Net sales in Asia Pacific in 2015 were $671 million compared with $793 million for 2014, a 
decrease of $122 million, or 15%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased 
net sales $117 million in 2015 compared to 2014, primarily due to the weakening of the Australian dollar in 
relation to the U.S. dollar. Glass container shipments were down 3% compared to the prior year, largely due to 
the planned plant closures in China in 2014. This resulted in $7 million of lower sales in 2015. Higher prices 
increased net sales by $2 million in the current year.

Segment Operating Profit

Operating profit of the reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses based on 

both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided. Unallocated 
corporate expenses and certain other expenses not directly related to the reportable segments’ operations are 
included in Retained corporate costs and other. For further information, see Segment Information included in 
Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment operating profit of reportable segments in 2015 was $740 million compared to $908 million 

in 2014, a decrease of $168 million, or 19%. The decrease in segment operating profit was primarily due to 
unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. In addition, cost inflation and lower operational performance in 
Europe increased operating costs in the current year. Segment operating profit for 2015 included approximately 
$46 million from the acquired Vitro Businesses.

The change in segment operating profit of reportable segments can be summarized as follows (dollars 

in millions):

Europe:  Segment operating profit in Europe in 2015 was $209 million compared with $353 million in 
2014, a decrease of $144 million, or 41%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates in 2015 
decreased segment operating profit by $63 million compared to the prior year. The region also had higher 
operating costs and lower production volumes in 2015 due to a higher level of furnace rebuild activity and 
lower productivity. In addition, the region did not receive an energy credit from a local government entity 
in 2015 as it had in the prior year. Together, this activity contributed to a $49 million increase to operating 
expenses in Europe in 2015 compared to 2014. Lower selling prices impacted segment operating profit by $34 
million due to competitive activity, primarily in Southern Europe, while slightly higher sales volumes benefited 
segment operating profit by $2 million in 2015.

North America:  Segment operating profit in North America in 2015 was $265 million compared with 
$240 million in 2014, an increase of $25 million, or 10%. Segment operating profit from the acquired Vitro 
food and beverage glass container distribution business in the region contributed $4 million in 2015. Segment 
operating profit also benefited from lower operating costs of $38 million in the current year, which were driven 
by lower energy, supply chain and logistics costs. As a result of the lower energy costs and the Company’s 
contractual pass through provisions, selling prices were $14 million lower in 2015 compared to 2014. Also, the 
unfavorable effects of the weakening of the Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar decreased segment 
operating profit by $3 million. 

Latin America:  Segment operating profit in Latin America in 2015 was $183 million compared with 
$227 million in 2014, a decrease of $44 million, or 19%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency rate 
changes decreased segment operating profit by $58 million in the current year. Segment operating profit from 
the acquired Vitro food and beverage business increased the region’s operating profit by $42 million in 2015.  
Excluding the impact of the Vitro Acquisition, the decline in sales volume discussed above reduced segment 
operating profit by $12 million. Segment operating profit was also impacted by $75 million of higher operating 
costs, primarily due to energy and soda ash inflation in Brazil. In addition, approximately $6 million of non-
strategic asset sales, which benefited 2014, did not reoccur in 2015. Higher selling prices increased segment 
operating profit by $65 million in 2015. 

31

 
 
 
 
Asia Pacific:  Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in 2015 was $83 million compared with $88 million 
in 2014, a decrease of $5 million, or 6%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rates decreased 
segment operating profit by $17 million. Despite the decline in sales volume discussed above, a favorable sales 
mix resulted in a $2 million increase to segment operating profit. Segment operating profit also benefited as 
operating costs decreased by $8 million in the current year driven by footprint savings from prior year capacity 
reductions in the region and the favorable impact of an insurance recovery. Higher selling prices increased 
segment operating profit by $2 million in the current year.

Interest Expense, net

Net interest expense in 2015 was $251 million compared with $230 million in 2014. The increase was due 

to higher note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to refinancing activities in 2015. 
Exclusive of these items, net interest expense decreased $1 million in the current year primarily due to debt 
management activities and the weaker Euro exchange rate in relation to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by an 
increase in net interest expense as a result of higher debt due to the Vitro Acquisition.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2015 was 39.6%, compared with 30.0% 

for 2014. The effective tax rate for 2015 was impacted by several charges that management considered not 
representative of ongoing operations, including charges for note repurchase premiums, the write-off of finance 
fees, restructuring charges and acquisition fees, for which no tax benefit was recorded due to the Company’s 
valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. The effective tax rate for 2014 was impacted by a non-income tax 
charge, which was not deductible for income tax purposes. 

Excluding the amounts related to items that management considers not representative of ongoing 

operations, the Company’s effective tax rate for 2015 was approximately 25%, compared with approximately 
22% for 2014. The 2015 effective tax rate was higher due to the geographic mix of earnings and timing issues 
associated with the establishment of the legal structure for the acquired operations in Mexico, the latter of which 
was resolved by year end 2015.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for 2015 was $23 million compared to $28 million for 

2014. The decrease in 2015 was largely attributable to the unfavorable effect of changes in foreign currency 
exchange rates.

32

Earnings (loss) from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

For 2015, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $139 

million, or $0.85 per share (diluted), compared with earnings of $187 million, or $1.13 per share (diluted), for 
2014. The after tax effects of the items excluded from segment operating profit, the unusual tax items and the 
additional interest charges increased or decreased earnings in 2015 and 2014 as set forth in the following table 
(dollars in millions).

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

Given the global nature of its operations, the Company is subject to fluctuations in foreign currency 
exchange rates. As described above, the Company’s reported revenues and segment operating profit in 2015 
were reduced due to foreign currency effects compared to 2014.

This trend has continued into 2016 as a result of a strengthening U.S. dollar. During times of a 

strengthening U.S. dollar, the reported revenues and segment operating profit of the Company’s international 
operations will be reduced because the local currencies will translate into fewer U.S. dollars. The Company 
uses certain derivative instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with changing foreign currency 
exchange rates.

Items Excluded from Reportable Segment Totals

Retained Corporate Costs and Other

 Retained corporate costs and other for 2016 were $98 million compared with $70 million for 2015. These 

costs were higher in 2016 primarily due to higher pension expense, management incentive compensation 
expense and the impact from currency hedges.

Retained corporate costs and other for 2015 were $70 million compared with $100 million for 2014. These 
costs were lower in 2015 primarily due to lower pension expense, management incentive compensation expense 
and the favorable impact from currency hedges.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Other Charges

During 2016, the Company recorded charges totaling $129 million for restructuring, asset impairment and 

other charges. These charges reflect $98 million of plant and furnace closures, primarily in the European and 
Latin America regions. In addition, other charges of $31 million were recorded during 2016, primarily related to 
an impairment charge recorded at one of the Company’s equity investments.

During 2015, the Company recorded charges totaling $80 million for restructuring, asset impairment and 

other charges. These charges reflect $63 million of completed furnace closures, primarily in the North America 
and Latin America regions and other charges of $17 million.

During 2014, the Company recorded charges totaling $91 million for restructuring, asset impairment and 

other charges. These charges reflect $76 million of completed and planned furnace closures in Europe and Asia 
Pacific and other charges of $15 million.

See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Pension Settlement Charges

During 2016, the Company recorded charges totaling $98 million for pension settlements in the United States. 

During 2014, the Company recorded charges totaling $65 million for pension settlements in the United 

States and the Netherlands.

See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Charge for Asbestos-Related Costs 

For the year ended December 31, 2016, there was no adjustment required for asbestos-related costs, 

compared to the charges of $16 million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, 
respectively. These charges resulted from the Company’s comprehensive annual legal review of asbestos-related 
liabilities and costs.  As part of its future comprehensive annual reviews, the Company will estimate its total 
asbestos-related liability and such reviews may result in adjustments to the liability accrued at the time of the 
review. The Company continues to believe that its ultimate asbestos-related liability cannot be estimated with 
certainty.  

See “Critical Accounting Estimates” and Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 

additional information.

Gain on China Land Compensation

During 2016, the Company recorded a gain of $71 million related to compensation received for land that 

the Company was required to return to the Chinese government.

Acquisition-related Fair Value Adjustments and Strategic Transaction Costs

During 2015, the Company recorded charges of $23 million for strategic transaction costs related to the 

Vitro Acquisition. 

During 2015, the Company recorded charges of $22 million for acquisition-related fair value inventory 
adjustments related to the Vitro Acquisition.  These charges were due to the accounting rules requiring inventory 
purchased in a business combination to be marked up to fair value and then recorded as an increase to cost 
of goods sold as the inventory is sold.  During 2015, the Company also recorded charges of $10 million for 
acquisition-related fair value intangible asset adjustments related to trademark assets with short-term lives 
acquired as part of the Vitro Acquisition.

Non-income tax charge

In 2014, the Company recorded a $69 million charge based on a ruling on a non-income tax assessment.

Discontinued Operations

On April 4, 2016, the annulment committee formed by the World Bank’s International Centre for 
Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) ruled that a subsidiary of the Company is free to pursue the 
enforcement of a prior arbitration award against Venezuela. That award amounts to more than $485 million 
after including interest from the date of the expropriation by Venezuela (October 26, 2010).  Venezuela’s 
application to annul the award is still pending, although the annulment proceedings were suspended in October 
2016 because Venezuela has not paid its fees owed to ICSID.  If the proceeding is stayed for non-payment 
for a consecutive period in excess of six months, ICSID’s Secretary General could move that the committee 
discontinue the annulment proceeding altogether.  The Company intends to take appropriate steps to vigorously 
enforce and collect the award, which is enforceable in approximately 150 member states that are party to the 
ICSID Convention. However, even with the lifting of the stay of enforcement, the Company recognizes that the 
collection of the award may present significant practical challenges. Because the award has yet to be satisfied 
and the annulment proceeding is pending, the Company is unable at this stage to reasonably predict the efforts 
that will be necessary to successfully enforce collection of the award, the amount of the award or the timing of 
any such collection efforts. Therefore, the Company has not recognized this award in its financial statements. 

A separate arbitration is pending with ICSID to obtain compensation primarily for third-party minority 

shareholders’ lost interests in the two expropriated plants.

The loss from discontinued operations of $7 million and $4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2016 

and 2015, respectively, relates to ongoing costs for the Venezuelan expropriation.

The loss from discontinued operations of $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 included a 

settlement of a dispute with a purchaser of a previously disposed business, as well as ongoing costs related to 
the Venezuelan expropriation.

On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the Vitro Acquisition in a cash transaction valued at 
approximately $2.297 billion, subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments.  The Vitro 
Business in Mexico is the largest supplier of glass containers in that country, manufacturing glass containers 
across multiple end uses, including food, soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits. The Vitro Acquisition included 
five food and beverage glass container plants in Mexico, a plant in Bolivia and a North American distribution 
business, and provided the Company with a competitive position in the glass packaging market in Mexico.  
The results of the Vitro Business have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since 
September 1, 2015.  Vitro’s food and beverage glass container operations in Mexico and Bolivia are included 
in the Latin American operating segment while its distribution business is included in the North American 
operating segment.

The Company financed the Vitro Acquisition with the proceeds from a senior notes offering, cash on hand 

and the incremental term loan facilities (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had cash and total debt of $492 million and $5.3 billion, 

respectively, compared to $399 million and $5.6 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2015. A significant 
portion of the cash was held in mature, liquid markets where the Company has operations, such as the U.S., 
Europe and Australia, and is readily available to fund global liquidity requirements. The amount of cash held in 
non-U.S. locations as of December 31, 2016 was $459 million.

Current and Long-Term Debt

On April 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility, which subsequently has 

been amended several times with the most recent amendment being entered into on February 3, 2016 (the 
“Amended Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the Vitro Acquisition on September 1, 2015 (see 
Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company incurred $1,250 million of senior secured 
incremental term loan facilities, comprised of (i) a $675 million term loan A facility on substantially the same 
terms and conditions (including as to maturity) as the term loan A facility in the Amended Agreement and (ii) a 
$575 million term loan B facility, which was subsequently repaid in full in November 2016 as described below.

At December 31, 2016, the Amended Agreement includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a $600 

million multicurrency revolving credit facility, a $1,575 million term loan A facility ($1,395 million net of debt 
issuance costs), and a €279 million term loan A facility ($282 million net of debt issuance costs), each of which 
has a final maturity date of April 22, 2020.  At December 31, 2016, the Company had unused credit of $884 
million available under the Amended Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding 
under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2016 was 2.39%.

The Amended Agreement contains various covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain 

exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur certain liens, make certain investments, become liable under 
contingent obligations in certain defined instances only, make restricted payments, make certain asset sales 
within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, participate in sale and leaseback financing 
arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain subordinated debt obligations.

The Amended Agreement also contains one financial covenant, a Total Leverage Ratio that requires the 
Company not to exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, 
by consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Amended Agreement. The Total Leverage Ratio could restrict the 
ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or 
acquisitions would cause the Total Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum of (i) 4.5x for the four 
fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, and (ii) 
4.0x for the fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. 

Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the 
Amended Agreement.  In such an event, the Company would be unable to request borrowings under the 
revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Amended Agreement, together with accrued interest, 
could then be declared immediately due and payable.  If an event of default occurs under the Amended 
Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Amended Agreement to 
become due and payable, this would result in a default under a number of other outstanding debt securities 
and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities.  As of December 31, 2016, the 
Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Amended Agreement.  In addition, the 
Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Amended 
Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

The interest rates on borrowings under the Amended Agreement are, at the Company’s option, the Base 

Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus an applicable margin.  The 
applicable margin for the term loan A facility and the revolving credit facility is linked to the Company’s Total 
Leverage Ratio and ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 0.75% for 
Base Rate loans.  In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 
0.20% to 0.30% per annum linked to the Total Leverage Ratio.

Borrowings under the Amended Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real 
estate and certain other excluded assets, of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity investments in certain 
of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign borrowings, of stock of certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  All borrowings under the Amended Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of 
the Company.

Also, in connection with the Vitro Acquisition, during August 2015, the Company issued senior notes 
with a face value of $700 million that bear interest at 5.875% and are due August 15, 2023 (the “Senior Notes 
due 2023”) and senior notes with a face value of $300 million that bear interest at 6.375% and are due August 
15, 2025 (together with the Senior Notes due 2023, the “2015 Senior Notes”).  The 2015 Senior Notes were 
issued via a private placement and are guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The 
net proceeds from the 2015 Senior Notes, after deducting the debt discount and debt issuance costs, totaled 
approximately $972 million and were used to finance, in part, the Vitro Acquisition.

During November 2016, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €500 million that bear 
interest at 3.125% and are due November 15, 2024.  The notes were issued via a private placement and are 
guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The net proceeds, after deducting the debt 
discount and debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $520 million and were used to repay the term loan B 
facility under the Amended Agreement.

The Company assesses its capital raising and refinancing needs on an ongoing basis and may enter into 

additional credit facilities and seek to issue equity and/or debt securities in the domestic and international 
capital markets if market conditions are favorable. Also, depending on market conditions, the Company may 
elect to repurchase portions of its debt securities in the open market.

The Company has a €185 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends 

through March 2019, subject to periodic renewal of backup credit lines.

Cash Flows

Operating activities:  Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $758 million for 2016 
compared to $612 million for 2015. Higher net earnings and the impact from higher depreciation and 
amortization were the primary drivers for the improvement in cash provided by continuing operating activities 
in 2016. In addition, lower asbestos-related payments and cash paid for restructuring activities in 2016 more 
than offset the impact of higher pension contributions than in the prior year. Working capital was a source 
of cash of $90 million and $88 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively, and included $128 million received 
in 2016 as a refund on value added taxes previously paid by the Company in conjunction with the Vitro 
Acquisition. This refund will not reoccur in 2017. 

Investing activities:  Cash utilized in investing activities was $417 million for 2016 compared to 
$2,748 million for 2015. Capital spending for property, plant and equipment during 2016 was $454 million, 
compared with $402 million in the prior year, and reflected a full year of capital spending related to the Vitro 
Business in 2016 compared to only four months in 2015.

Investing activities in 2016 also included $56 million paid for acquisitions and primarily related to 
additional contributions made to the Company’s investment in a joint venture in Nava, Mexico. In 2017, the 
Company expects to contribute approximately $42 million for the joint venture’s expansion plans. Cash utilized 
for acquisitions in 2015 was $2,351 and primarily related to the Vitro Acquisition. In 2016, the Company 
received $85 million in net proceeds on the disposal of assets, which were primarily related to cash received 
from the Chinese government for the Company’s sale of certain land use rights and related properties.

Financing activities:  Cash utilized in financing activities was $228 million for 2016 compared to $2,057 

million of cash provided by financing activities for 2015. Financing activities in 2016 included additions to 
long-term debt of $1,235 million, which included the issuance of €500 million of senior notes. Financing 

37

    
 
 
activities in 2016 also included the repayment of long-term debt of $1,453 million, which included the 
repayment of floating-rate debt in the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility from the proceeds of the 
previously mentioned senior note issuance. Financing activities in 2015 included additions to long-term debt 
of $4,538 million, primarily related to the borrowings for the Vitro Acquisition and the refinancing of the 
Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facility. Financing activities in 2015 included the repayment of long-term 
debt of $2,321 million, which included the repayment of the previous credit agreement and the repayment of the 
senior notes due in 2016. Borrowings under short-term loans increased by $10 million in 2016. The Company 
paid approximately $9 million in note repurchase premiums and finance fees in 2016 compared to $90 million 
in 2015. 

The Company paid $16 million and $22 million in distributions to noncontrolling interests in 2016 and 
2015, respectively. In 2016, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock compared to $100 
million repurchased in 2015.  

The Company anticipates that cash flows from its operations and from utilization of credit available under 

the Amended Agreement will be sufficient to fund its operating and seasonal working capital needs, debt 
service and other obligations on a short-term (twelve months) and long-term basis. Based on the Company’s 
expectations regarding future payments for lawsuits and claims and also based on the Company’s expected 
operating cash flow, the Company believes that the payment of any deferred amounts of previously settled 
or otherwise determined lawsuits and claims, and the resolution of presently pending and anticipated future 
lawsuits and claims associated with asbestos, will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s 
liquidity on a short-term or long-term basis.

(4)  In 2014, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Constellation Brands, Inc. to operate 

a glass container plant in Nava, Mexico. To help meet current and rising demand from Constellation’s 
adjacent brewery, the joint venture plans to expand the plant over the next two years. The Company expects 
to contribute approximately $42 million for the joint venture’s expansion plans through 2017.

The Company is unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate as to when cash settlement with taxing 

authorities may occur for its unrecognized tax benefits. Therefore, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits 
is not included in the table above. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional 
information.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Company’s analysis and discussion of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon 

its consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 
U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, 
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates 
these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical and 
other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the time the financial statements are issued. 
The results of these estimates may form the basis of the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities and may 
not be readily apparent from other sources. Actual results, under conditions and circumstances different from 
those assumed, may differ from estimates.

The impact of, and any associated risks related to, estimates and assumptions are discussed within 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, as well as in the 
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, if applicable, where estimates and assumptions affect the 
Company’s reported and expected financial results.

The Company believes that accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets, pension benefit plans, 
contingencies and litigation related to its asbestos liability, and income taxes involves the more significant 
judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Property, Plant and Equipment—The Company tests for impairment of PP&E whenever events or 
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. PP&E held 
for use in the Company’s business is grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level for which cash flows 
can reasonably be identified, typically a segment or a component of a segment. The Company evaluates the 
recoverability of PP&E  based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes. If an asset 
group is considered impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is measured as the amount by which the 
asset group’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. PP&E held for sale is reported at the lower of carrying 
amount or fair value less cost to sell.

39

Impairment testing requires estimation of the fair value of PP&E based on the discounted value of projected 

future cash flows generated by the asset group. The assumptions underlying cash flow projections represent 
management’s best estimates at the time of the impairment review. Factors that management must estimate include, 
among other things: industry and market conditions, sales volume and prices, production costs and inflation. 
Changes in key assumptions or actual conditions which differ from estimates could result in an impairment charge. 
The Company uses reasonable and supportable assumptions when performing impairment reviews and cannot 
predict the occurrence of future events and circumstances that could result in impairment charges.

Goodwill –Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1 (or more frequently if impairment 

indicators arise) using a two-step process.  Step 1 compares the business enterprise value (“BEV”) of each 
reporting unit with its carrying value. The BEV is computed based on estimated future cash flows, discounted 
at the weighted average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. If the BEV is less than the carrying 
value for any reporting unit, then Step 2 must be performed.  Step 2 compares the implied fair value of goodwill 
with the carrying amount of goodwill.  Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied 
fair value will be recorded as an impairment loss.  The calculations of the BEV in Step 1 and the implied fair 
value of goodwill in Step 2 are based on significant unobservable inputs, such as projected future cash flows 
of the reporting units, discount rates, and terminal business value, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair 
value hierarchy. The Company’s projected future cash flows incorporates management’s best estimates of 
the expected future results including, but not limited to, price trends, customer demand, material costs, asset 
replacement costs and any other known factors.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the operating segment or one level 
below the operating segment, also known as a component.  Two or more components of an operating segment 
shall be aggregated into a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics, 
based on an assessment of various factors.  The Company has determined that the Europe and North America 
segments are reporting units.  The Company aggregated the components of the Latin America and Asia Pacific 
segments into single reporting units equal to the reportable segments.  The aggregation of the components 
of these segments was based on their economic similarity as determined by the Company using a number 
of quantitative and qualitative factors, including gross margins, the manner in which the Company operates 
the business, the consistent nature of products, services, production processes, customers and methods of 
distribution, as well as the level of shared resources and assets between the components.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined 

that no impairment of goodwill existed. Goodwill at December 31, 2016 totaled approximately $2.5 billion, 
representing 27% of total assets.  The Company has four reporting units of which three of the reporting units 
have goodwill and include; approximately $800 million of recorded goodwill to the Company’s Europe segment, 
approximately $600 million of recorded goodwill to the Company’s Latin America segment and approximately 
$1 billion of recorded goodwill to the Company’s North America segment. The testing performed as of October 
1, 2016, indicated a significant excess of BEV over book value for North America and Latin America.  Europe 
exceeded its carrying values by approximately 12%, and is determined to be the reporting unit having the 
greatest risk of future impairment if actual results fall modestly short of expectations. If the Company’s projected 
future cash flows were substantially lower, or if the assumed weighted average cost of capital was substantially 
higher, the testing performed as of October 1, 2016, may have indicated an impairment of one or more of these 
reporting units and, as a result, the related goodwill may also have been impaired.  Any impairment charges 
that the Company may take in the future could be material to its consolidated results of operations and financial 
condition. However, less significant changes in projected future cash flows or the assumed weighted average 
cost of capital would not have indicated an impairment.  For example, if projected future cash flows had been 
decreased by 5%, or if the weighted average cost of capital had been increased by 5%, or both, the resulting 
lower BEV’s would still have exceeded the book value of each of these reporting units. 

During the time subsequent to the annual evaluation, and at December 31, 2016, the Company considered 
whether any events and/or changes in circumstances had resulted in the likelihood that the goodwill of any of its 
reporting units may have been impaired and has determined that no such events have occurred. The Company 
will monitor conditions throughout 2017 that might significantly affect the projections and variables used in 

40

the impairment test to determine if a review prior to October 1 may be appropriate.  If the results of impairment 
testing confirm that a write down of goodwill is necessary, then the Company will record a charge in the fourth 
quarter of 2017, or earlier if appropriate.  In the event the Company would be required to record a significant 
write down of goodwill, the charge would have a material adverse effect on reported results of operations and 
net worth.

Other Long-Lived Assets - Intangibles – Other long-lived assets consist primarily of purchased customer 

relationships intangibles and are amortized using the accelerated amortization method over their estimated 
useful lives. The Company reviews these assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.  In the event that a decline in fair value 
of an asset occurs, and the decline in value is considered to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is 
recognized. The test for impairment would require the Company to make estimates about fair value, which may 
be determined based on discounted cash flows, third party appraisals or other methods that provide appropriate 
estimates of value. The Company continually monitors the carrying value of their assets.

Pension Benefit Plans

Significant Estimates—The determination of pension obligations and the related pension expense or 
credits to operations involves significant estimates. The most significant estimates are the discount rate used 
to calculate the actuarial present value of benefit obligations and the expected long-term rate of return on plan 
assets. The Company uses discount rates based on yields of high quality fixed rate debt securities at the end 
of the year. At December 31, 2016, the weighted average discount rate was 4.17 % and 2.94 % for U.S. and 
non-U.S. plans, respectively. The Company uses an expected long-term rate of return on assets that is based on 
both past performance of the various plans’ assets and estimated future performance of the assets. Due to the 
nature of the plans’ assets and the volatility of debt and equity markets, actual returns may vary significantly 
from year to year. The Company refers to average historical returns over longer periods (up to 10 years) in 
determining its expected rates of return because short-term fluctuations in market values do not reflect the 
rates of return the Company expects to achieve based upon its long-term investing strategy. For purposes 
of determining pension charges and credits in 2016, the Company’s estimated weighted average expected 
long-term rate of return on plan assets is 7.50% for U.S. plans and 7.15% for non-U.S. plans compared to 8.00% 
for U.S. plans and 7.21% for non-U.S. plans in 2015. The Company recorded pension expense from continuing 
operations (exclusive of settlement charges) of $23 million, $24 million, and $19 million for the U.S. plans 
in 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $8 million, $7 million, and $24 million for the non-U.S. plans in 
2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively from its principal defined benefit pension plans. Depending on currency 
translation rates, the Company expects to record approximately $29 million of total pension expense for the 
full year of 2017. The 2017 pension expense will reflect a 7.50% expected long-term rate of return for the 
U.S. assets.

Future effects on reported results of operations depend on economic conditions and investment 

performance. For example, a one-half percentage point change in the actuarial assumption regarding discount 
rates or in the expected rate of return used to calculate plan liabilities would result in a change of approximately 
$7 million and $13 million, respectively, in the pretax pension expense for the full year 2017.

Recognition of Funded Status—The Company recognizes the funded status of each pension benefit plan on 

the balance sheet. The funded status of each plan is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan 
assets and actuarially calculated benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are 
accumulated in Other Comprehensive Income and the portion of each plan that exceeds 10% of the greater of 
that plan’s assets or projected benefit obligation is amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the average 
remaining service period of employees still accruing benefits or the expected life of participants not accruing 
benefits if all, or almost all, of the plan’s participants are no longer accruing benefits.

Contingencies and Litigation Related to Asbestos Liability

For many years, the Company has conducted a comprehensive legal review of its asbestos-related liabilities 
and costs annually in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual results of operations, unless significant 
changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier review.  As part of its current annual comprehensive 
legal review, the Company provides historical claims filing data to a third party consultant with expertise in 
predicting future claims filings based on actuarial inputs such as disease incidence and mortality. The Company 
uses these estimates of total future claims, along with its legal judgment regarding an estimation of future 
disposition costs and related legal costs, as inputs to develop a reasonable estimate of probable liability. If the 
results of the annual comprehensive legal review indicate that the existing amount of the accrued liability is 
lower (higher) than its reasonably estimable asbestos-related costs, then the Company will record an appropriate 
charge (credit) to the Company’s results of operations to increase (decrease) the accrued liability.  

The significant assumptions underlying the material components of the Company’s accrual are described in 
the Risk Factors section and in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  Changes in these significant 
assumptions have the potential to impact the Company’s asbestos-related liability.

In addition, if trends relating to the Company’s actual claims filings materially differ, up or down, from 

the amounts predicted, the total number of estimated claims indicated by future actuarial analyses could 
change significantly. Significant changes in the total number of predicted claims could impact the total 
predicted asbestos-related liability, which in turn could result in a material charge or credit to the Company’s 
results of operations.  

The Company uses historical data for both indemnity and related legal costs, as well as its legal judgment 

and expectations about future inflationary and deflationary drivers, to predict the estimated disposition cost 
per claim and the legal costs for the remainder of the litigation.  If trends relating to the actual per claim cost 
differ materially, up or down, from the previously estimated amount, the Company may in the future revise 
its estimate of its asbestos-related liability. The same may also be true with respect to legal costs. Significant 
changes in the estimated asbestos-related liability could result in a material charge or credit to the Company’s 
results of operations.  

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that it will incur a loss for its asbestos-related liabilities 

in excess of the amount currently recognized, which is $692 million as of December 31, 2016.  The Company 
estimates that reasonably possible losses could be as high as $825 million.  This estimate of additional 
reasonably possible loss reflects a legal judgment about the number and cost of potential future claims.  The 
Company believes this estimate is consistent with the level of variability it has experienced when comparing 
actual results to recent near-term projections. However, it is also possible that the ultimate asbestos-related 
liability could be above this estimate.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes as required by general accounting principles under which 
management judgment is required in determining income tax expense and the related balance sheet amounts. 
This judgment includes estimating and analyzing historical and projected future operating results, the reversal 
of taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies, and the ultimate outcome of uncertain income tax 
positions. Actual income taxes paid may vary from estimates, depending upon changes in income tax laws, 
actual results of operations, and the final audit of tax returns by taxing authorities. The Company has received 
tax assessments in excess of established reserves. The Company believes that adequate provisions for all income 
tax uncertainties have been made. However, if tax assessments are settled against the Company at amounts in 
excess of established reserves, it could have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial 
position or cash flows. Changes in the estimates and assumptions used for calculating income tax expense and 
potential differences in actual results from estimates could have a material impact on the Company’s results of 
operations and financial condition.

42

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the tax effects of temporary differences between the 

financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using enacted tax rates and for operating 
losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined separately for each tax 
jurisdiction in which the Company conducts its operations or otherwise incurs taxable income or losses. A 
valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax 
assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the ability to generate sufficient 
taxable income within the carryback or carryforward periods provided for in the tax law for each applicable 
tax jurisdiction. The Company considers the following possible sources of taxable income when assessing the 
realization of deferred tax assets:

• 

• 

• 

• 

future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;

future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;

taxable income in prior carryback years; and

tax planning strategies

The assessment regarding whether a valuation allowance is required or should be adjusted also considers all 

available positive and negative evidence, including but not limited to:

• 

• 

• 

• 

nature, frequency, and severity of recent losses;

duration of statutory carryforward periods;

historical experience with tax attributes expiring unused; and

near- and medium-term financial outlook.

The weight given to the positive and negative evidence is commensurate with the extent to which the 
evidence may be objectively verified. Accordingly, it is difficult to conclude a valuation allowance is not 
required when there is significant objective and verifiable negative evidence, such as cumulative losses in recent 
years. The Company uses the actual results for the last three years and current year anticipated results as the 
primary measure of cumulative losses in recent years.

The evaluation of deferred tax assets requires judgment in assessing the likely future tax consequences of 
events recognized in the financial statements or tax returns and future profitability. The recognition of deferred 
tax assets represents the Company’s best estimate of those future events. Changes in the current estimates, due 
to unanticipated events or otherwise, could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations and 
financial condition.

In certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company’s analysis indicates that it has cumulative losses in recent 
years. This is considered significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable and, therefore, difficult 
to overcome. However, the cumulative loss position is not solely determinative and, accordingly, the Company 
considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. Based on its analysis, the Company 
has recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets where based on the weight of available 
evidence it is unlikely to realize those deferred tax assets.

The utilization of tax attributes to offset taxable income reduces the overall level of deferred tax assets 
subject to a valuation allowance. Additionally, the Company’s recorded effective tax rate is lower than the 
applicable statutory tax rate, due primarily to income earned in jurisdictions for which a valuation allowance 
is recorded. The effective tax rate will approach the statutory tax rate in periods after valuation allowances 
are released. In the period in which valuation allowances are released, the Company will record a material tax 
benefit, which could result in a negative effective tax rate.

Market risks relating to the Company’s operations result primarily from fluctuations in foreign currency 
exchange rates, changes in interest rates, and changes in commodity prices, principally energy and soda ash. 
The Company uses certain derivative instruments to mitigate a portion of the risk associated with changing 
foreign currency exchange rates. The Company also uses certain derivative instruments to mitigate a portion of 
the risk associated with fluctuating energy prices in its North American region. These instruments carry varying 
degrees of counterparty credit risk. To mitigate this risk, the Company has defined a financial counterparty 
policy that established criteria to select qualified counterparties based on credit ratings and CDC spreads. 
The policy also limits the exposure with individual counterparties. The Company monitors these exposures 
quarterly. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Earnings of operations outside the United States

A substantial portion of the Company’s operations are conducted by subsidiaries outside the U.S. The 
primary international markets served by the Company’s subsidiaries are in Canada, Australia, China, Latin 
America (principally Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico), and Europe (principally France, Germany, Italy, the 
Netherlands, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom). In general, revenues earned and costs incurred by the 
Company’s major international operations are denominated in their respective local currencies. Consequently, 
the Company’s reported financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency 
exchange rates or highly inflationary economic conditions in the international markets in which the Company’s 
subsidiaries operate. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against foreign currencies, the reported U.S. dollar value 
of local currency earnings generally decreases; when the U.S. dollar weakens against foreign currencies, the 
reported U.S. dollar value of local currency earnings generally increases. For the years ended December 31, 
2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not have any significant foreign subsidiaries whose functional currency 
was the U.S. dollar.

Borrowings not denominated in the functional currency

Because the Company’s subsidiaries operate within their local economic environment, the Company 
believes it is appropriate to finance those operations with borrowings denominated in the local currency to the 
extent practicable where debt financing is desirable or necessary. This strategy mitigates the risk of reported 
losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. Considerations 
which influence the amount of such borrowings include long- and short-term business plans, tax implications, 
and the availability of borrowings with acceptable interest rates and terms.

Available excess funds of a subsidiary may be redeployed through intercompany loans to other subsidiaries 
for debt repayment, capital investment, or other cash requirements. The intercompany loans give rise to foreign 
currency exchange rate risk, which the Company mitigates through the use of forward exchange contracts that 
effectively swap the intercompany loan and related interest to the appropriate local currency.

The Company believes the near term exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk of its foreign currency 

risk sensitive instruments was not material at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s interest expense is most sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates applicable 
to the term loans under its Secured Credit Agreement (see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for 
further information). The Company’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest 
rate changes on net income and cash flow, while minimizing interest payments and expense. To achieve this 
objective, the Company regularly evaluates its mix of fixed and floating-rate debt, and, from time to time, may 
enter into interest rate swap agreements.

The Company believes the near term exposure to interest rate risk of its debt obligations has not changed 

materially since December 31, 2016.

In addition, the determination of pension obligations and the related pension expense or credits to 
operations involves significant estimates. Future funding requirements for the Company’s pension plans will 
depend largely on actual asset returns and future actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, and can vary 
significantly. The discount rate is a significant estimate that is used to calculate the actuarial present value of 
benefit obligations and is based on yields of high quality fixed rate debt securities at the end of the year. For 
example, a one-half percentage point change in the actuarial assumption regarding discount rates or in the 
expected rate of return used to calculate plan liabilities would result in a change of approximately $7 million 
and $13 million, respectively, in the pretax pension expense for the full year 2017.

Commodity Price Risk

The Company has exposure to commodity price risk, principally related to energy. In North America, the 
Company enters into commodity forward contracts related to forecasted natural gas requirements, the objectives 
of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for natural gas and the related 
volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market and related price risk and 
periodically enters into commodity forward contracts in order to hedge a portion of its usage requirements. 
The majority of the sales volume in North America is tied to customer contracts that contain provisions that 
pass the price of natural gas to the customer. In certain of these contracts, the customer has the option of fixing 
the natural gas price component for a specified period of time. At December 31, 2016, the Company had 
entered into commodity forward contracts covering approximately 12,300,000 MM BTUs, primarily related to 
customer requests to lock the price of natural gas. In Europe, the Company enters into fixed price contracts for a 
significant amount of its energy requirements. These contracts typically have terms of 3 years or less.

The Company believes the near term exposure to commodity price risk of its commodity forward contracts 

was not material at December 31, 2016.

Forward Looking Statements

This document contains “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933. 
Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current expectations and projections about future events at 
the time, and thus involve uncertainty and risk. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “will,” “could,” 
“would,” “should,” “may,” “plan,” “estimate,” “intend,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” and the negatives 
of these words and other similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. It is possible the 
Company’s future financial performance may differ from expectations due to a variety of factors including, 
but not limited to the following: (1) the Company’s ability to integrate the Vitro Business in a timely and cost 
effective manner, and to realize expected growth opportunities, cost savings and synergies from the Vitro 
Acquisition, (2) foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, (3) changes in capital availability or 
cost, including interest rate fluctuations and the ability of the Company to refinance debt at favorable terms, (4) 
the general political, economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where the Company has 
operations, including uncertainties related to economic and social conditions, disruptions in capital markets, 
disruptions in the supply chain, competitive pricing pressures, inflation or deflation, and changes in tax rates 
and laws, (5) the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future cash flows to ensure the Company’s goodwill 
is not impaired, (6) consumer preferences for alternative forms of packaging, (7) cost and availability of raw 
materials, labor, energy and transportation, (8) the Company’s ability to manage its cost structure, including its 
success in implementing restructuring plans and achieving cost savings, (9) consolidation among competitors 
and customers, (10) the Company’s ability to acquire businesses and expand plants, integrate operations 
of acquired businesses and achieve expected synergies, (11) unanticipated expenditures with respect to 
environmental, safety and health laws, (12) the Company’s ability to further develop its sales, marketing and 
product development capabilities, (13) the Company’s ability to prevent and detect cybersecurity threats against 
its information technology systems, (14) the Company’s ability to accurately estimate its total asbestos-related 
liability or to control the timing and occurrence of events relates to asbestos-related claims, (15) changes in U.S. 
trade policies, (16) the Company’s ability to achieve its strategic plan, and the other risk factors discussed in 
this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and any subsequently filed Quarterly 
Report on Form 10-Q. It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. Any forward-looking statements 
in this document are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience 
and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors it 
believes are appropriate in the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future 
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from expectations. While the Company 
continually reviews trends and uncertainties affecting the Company’s results of operations and financial 
condition, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or supplement any particular forward-looking 
statements contained in this document.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Share Owners of 
Owens-Illinois, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Illinois, Inc. as of December 31, 

2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations, comprehensive income, share 
owners’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016. Our audits 
also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15. These financial statements and 
schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on 
these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes 
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit 
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well 
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of Owens-Illinois, Inc. at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the consolidated 
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, 
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial 
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents 
fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States), Owens-Illinois, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 10, 2017 
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

(the 
“Company”) include the accounts of its subsidiaries.  Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the 
consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition.

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership 
interest, generally 20% to 50%.  Other investments are accounted for at cost.  The Company monitors other than 
temporary declines in fair value and records reductions in carrying values when appropriate.

Company’s principal product lines are glass containers for the food and beverage industries.  The Company has 
glass container operations located in 23 countries.  The principal markets and operations for the Company’s 
products are in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific.

generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and 
assumptions that affect certain amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual 
results may differ from those estimates, at which time the Company would revise its estimates accordingly.

U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates.  Any related translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other 
comprehensive income in share owners’ equity.

the title to the products and risk of loss are transferred to customers.  Provisions for rebates to customers are 
provided in the same period that the related sales are recorded.

of stock option grants and restricted share awards.  Costs resulting from all share-based compensation plans 
are required to be recognized in the financial statements.  A public entity is required to measure the cost 
of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair 
value of the award.  That cost is recognized over the required service period (usually the vesting period).  No 
compensation cost is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the required service.

Cash   The Company defines “cash” as cash and time deposits with maturities of three months or less when 

purchased.  Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable.

value.  The Company charges off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer 
circumstances that amounts will not be collected.

the provision for bad debts.  The Company evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts on a 
periodic basis.  The evaluation includes historical trends in collections and write-offs, management’s judgment 
of the probability of collecting accounts and management’s evaluation of business risk.

Z(cid:3)(cid:3)(cid:16)#(cid:27)(cid:13)(cid:13)(cid:5)  Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired.  

Goodwill is evaluated annually, as of October 1, for impairment or more frequently if an impairment 
indicator exists.

life of the asset.  Amortization expense directly attributed to the manufacturing of the Company’s products 
is included in cost of goods sold.  Amortization expense related to non-manufacturing activities is included 
in selling and administrative and other. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and 
other long-lived assets based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors 
indicate that impairment may exist.  If impairment exists, the asset is written down to fair value.

includes expenditures for new facilities and equipment and those costs which substantially increase the useful 
lives or capacity of existing PP&E.  In general, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and 
recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset.  Factory machinery and equipment is depreciated over 
periods ranging from 5 to 25 years with the majority of such assets (principally glass-melting furnaces and 
forming machines) depreciated over 7 to 15 years.  Buildings and building equipment are depreciated over 
periods ranging from 10 to 50 years. Depreciation expense directly attributed to the manufacturing of the 
Company’s products is included in cost of goods sold.  Depreciation expense related to non-manufacturing 
activities is included in selling and administrative. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of assets 
recorded under capital leases.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Costs assigned to PP&E of 
acquired businesses are based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  The Company evaluates the 
recoverability of PP&E based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors 
indicate that impairment may exist.  If impairment exists, the asset is written down to fair value.

contracts to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rate and commodity market volatility.  
Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value.  When appropriate, derivative 
instruments are designated as and are effective as hedges, in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States.  If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, all changes in fair value of 
the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings.  The Company does not 
enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivatives. Cash 
flows from forward exchange contracts not designated as hedges are classified as an investing activity.  Cash 
flows of commodity forward contracts are classified as operating activities.

paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants.  Generally accepted accounting principles defines a three-tier fair value 
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

 Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

 Level 2:  Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or 
indirectly; and

 Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to 
develop assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported for cash and short-term loans approximate fair value.  In addition, carrying 

amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined 
interest rates.  Fair values for the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are generally based on 
published market quotations.

The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities consist of natural gas forwards and foreign exchange 
option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to valuing these contracts.  Natural gas 
forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These inputs 
are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, the 
Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also evaluates 
counterparty risk in determining fair values.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 

(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for 
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, 
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which delayed by one year the effective date of the new revenue 
recognition standard, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company has started an 
implementation process, including a review of customer contracts, to evaluate the effect this standard will have 
on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  At this time, the Company does not expect that 
the implementation of this standard in 2018 will have a significant impact on the timing in which it recognizes 
revenue.  While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, the Company does 
not currently expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on consolidated net income or 
the consolidated balance sheet. The Company plans to select the modified retrospective transition method upon 
adoption effective January 1, 2018.

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. Under this guidance, lessees 
will be required to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, with 
the exception of short-term leases. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments 
arising from a lease, and will be measured as the present value of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset 
represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease term, and will be measured at the lease 
liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs. 
The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term, generally on 
a straight-line basis. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. ASU No. 2016-02 is 
required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach for all leases existing as of the effective date 
and provides for certain practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating 
the effects that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, 
and anticipates the new guidance will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements as the Company 
has a significant number of leases. As further described in Note 16, Operating Leases, as of December 31, 2016, 
the Company had minimum lease commitments under non-cancellable operating leases totaling $205 million.

Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses 
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance requires the measurement 
of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, 
current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures 
regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The new guidance is effective 
for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within 
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the 
adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee 
Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as 
income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, excess tax benefits should be classified 
along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Application of 
the standard is required for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect a significant impact 
in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension Asset Value - In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement 

(Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or 
Its Equivalent).” Under the new guidance, investments measured at net asset value (“NAV”), as a practical 
expedient for fair value, are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Removing investments measured using the 
practical expedient from the fair value hierarchy is intended to eliminate the diversity in practice that currently 
exists with respect to the categorization of these investments. The new guidance is effective for the Company 
on January 1, 2016. The guidance impacted the presentation of certain pension related assets that use NAV as a 
practical expedient. See Note 9 for additional information.

The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations:  Europe, North America, 
Latin America and Asia Pacific. In connection with the Company’s acquisition (the “Vitro Acquisition”) of 
the food and beverage glass container business of Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiaries as conducted in the 
United States, Mexico and Bolivia (the “Vitro Business”) on September 1, 2015 (see Note 19), the Company 
has renamed the former South America segment to the Latin America segment. These four segments are aligned 
with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass 
operations.  Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing 
are reported with Retained corporate costs and other.  These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, 
global engineering, and certain equity investments.  Retained corporate costs and other also includes certain 
headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs 
that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists 

of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision 
for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative 
of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The Company’s management uses segment 
operating profit, in combination with selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate 
resources.  Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses 
based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.

Based on an evaluation of each of the Company’s equity investments for the three years ending December 31, 
2016, no investments exceeded the significant subsidiary thresholds per Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X.  As such, 
separate financial statements for the Company’s equity investments are not required to be filed.

The Company made purchases of approximately $176 million and $161 million from equity affiliates in 

2016 and 2015, respectively, and owed approximately $76 million and $66 million to equity affiliates as of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

There is a difference of approximately $12 million as of December 31, 2016, between the amount at which 
certain investments are carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets.  The portion of the difference 
related to inventory or amortizable assets is amortized as a reduction of the equity earnings.  The remaining 
difference is considered goodwill.

The acquisition related adjustments in 2016 and 2015 primarily relate to the Vitro Acquisition (see Note 19).

Goodwill for the Asia Pacific segment is $0 and net of accumulated impairment losses of $1,135 million as 

of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1 (or more frequently if impairment indicators 

arise) using a two-step process.  Step 1 compares the business enterprise value (“BEV”) of each reporting unit 
with its carrying value. The BEV is computed based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at the weighted 
average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. If the BEV is less than the carrying value for any 
reporting unit, then Step 2 must be performed.  Step 2 compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the 
carrying amount of goodwill.  Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value will 
be recorded as an impairment loss.  The calculations of the BEV in Step 1 and the implied fair value of goodwill

discount rates and asset replacement costs, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined 

that no impairment existed.

Intangible assets

On September 1, 2015, the Company acquired customer list intangibles as part of the Vitro Acquisition 

(see Note 19). 

Customer list intangible assets are amortized using the accelerated amortization method over their 20 
year lives. Net intangible asset values were $464 million and $597 million for the years ended December 31, 
2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $39 million, $21 million and $1 
million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Estimated amortization related to 
intangible assets through 2021 is as follows: 2017, $44 million; 2018, $44 million; 2019, $42 million; 2020, $41 
million; and 2021, $39 million. No impairment existed on these assets at December 31, 2016.

The Company has determined that the fair value measurements related to the customer list intangibles are 

based on significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities which consist of natural gas forwards and foreign 

exchange option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to value these contracts.  
Natural gas forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These 
inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, 
the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also 
evaluates counterparty risk in determining fair values.

Commodity Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

In North America, the Company enters into commodity forward contracts related to forecasted natural gas 
requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for 
natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market 
and related price risk and periodically enters into commodity forward contracts in order to hedge a portion of its 
usage requirements. The majority of the sales volume in North America is tied to customer contracts that contain 
provisions that pass the price of natural gas to the customer.  In certain of these contracts, the customer has the 
option of fixing the natural gas price component for a specified period of time.  At December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
the Company had entered into commodity forward contracts covering approximately 12,300,000 MM BTUs 
and 7,300,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

The Company accounts for the above forward contracts as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2016 
and recognizes them on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of 
a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified 
into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. An 
unrecognized gain of $6 million at December 31, 2016 and an unrecognized loss of $4 million at December 31, 
2015 related to the commodity forward contracts were included in Accumulated OCI, and will be reclassified 
into earnings over the next twelve to twenty-four months.  Any material portion of the change in the fair 
value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current 
earnings.  The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 
2015 was not material.

The effect of the commodity forward contracts on the results of operations for the years ended December 

31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts and not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign 
currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign 
currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated 
in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company may also use forward exchange 
agreements to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables,

payables and loans, not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies. The Company records these 
short-term forward exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are 
recognized in current earnings.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had outstanding forward exchange and option agreements 

denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $490 million and $790 million, 
respectively, related primarily to intercompany transactions and loans.

Balance Sheet Classification

The Company records the fair values of derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet as follows: 
(a) receivables if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity within one year, (b) deposits, receivables, 
and other assets if the instrument has a positive fair value and maturity after one year, and (c) other accrued 
liabilities or other liabilities (current) if the instrument has a negative fair value and maturity within one year.

severance and benefits, other exit costs such as those related to contract terminations, and asset impairment 
charges.  The Company also may incur other costs related to closed facilities including environmental 
remediation, clean up, dismantling and preparation for sale or other disposition.

The Company accounts for restructuring and other costs under applicable provisions of generally accepted 

accounting principles.  Charges for employee severance and related benefits are generally accrued based on 
contractual arrangements with employees or their representatives.  Other exit costs are accrued based on the 
estimated cost to settle related contractual arrangements.  Estimated environmental remediation costs are 
accrued when specific claims have been received or are probable of being received.

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write downs of certain 
long-lived assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell.  The 
Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as Level 
3 in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

When a decision is made to take these actions, the Company manages and accounts for them 

programmatically apart from the on-going operations of the business.  Information related to major programs 
(as in the case of the European Asset Optimization and Asia Pacific Restructuring programs below) are 
presented separately.  Minor initiatives are presented on a combined basis as Other Restructuring Actions. These 
restructuring initiatives taken by the Company are not related to the European Asset Optimization program or 
the Asia Pacific restructuring plan.  When charges related to major programs are completed, remaining accrual 
balances are classified with Other Restructuring Actions.

European Asset Optimization

In 2011, the Company initiated the European Asset Optimization program to increase the efficiency and 

capability of its European operations and to better align its European manufacturing footprint with market and 
customer needs.  This program involved making additional investments in certain facilities and addressing 
assets with higher cost structures.  As part of this program, the Company recorded charges of $0, $0, and $1 
million for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively for employee costs, write-down of assets, and 
environmental remediation related to decisions to close furnaces and manufacturing facilities in Europe.  The 
Company recorded total cumulative charges of $127 million and does not expect to execute any further actions 
under this program.

Asia Pacific Restructuring

Since 2011, the Company has implemented a restructuring plan in its Asia Pacific segment, primarily 
related to aligning its supply base with lower demand in the region.  As part of this plan, the Company recorded 
charges of $4 million, $5 million and $73 million for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, 
for employee costs, write-down of assets, and pension charges related to furnace closures and additional 
restructuring activities. The Company recorded total cumulative charges of $224 million and does not expect to 
execute any further actions under this program.

Other Restructuring Actions

In 2016, the Company recorded charges of $94 million for other restructuring actions.  These charges 

primarily represented employee costs, write-down of assets, and other exit costs of $64 million for plant 
closures in Latin America, Europe, and North America and $30 million related to other restructuring actions. 
The Company took certain other restructuring actions and recorded charges in 2015 of $58 million. These

charges primarily related to employee costs, write-down of assets and other exit costs totaling $14 million for 
a plant closure and furnace closure in Latin America, $38 million for a plant closure in North America and 
$6 million for other restructuring actions. In 2014, the Company took certain other restructuring actions and 
recorded charges of $2 million for employee costs related to global headcount reduction initiatives.

the United States and several other non-U.S. jurisdictions.  Benefits generally are based on compensation for 
salaried employees and on length of service for hourly employees.  The Company’s policy is to fund pension 
plans such that sufficient assets will be available to meet future benefit requirements.  The Company’s defined 
benefit pension plans use a December 31 measurement date.  The following tables relate to the Company’s 
principal defined benefit pension plans.

The Company recognizes the funded status of each pension benefit plan on the balance sheet. The 
funded status of each plan is measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and actuarially 
calculated benefit obligations as of the balance sheet date. Actuarial gains and losses are accumulated in Other 
Comprehensive Income and the portion of each plan that exceeds 10% of the greater of that plan’s assets or 
projected benefit obligation is amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service 
period of employees still accruing benefits or the expected life of participants not accruing benefits if all, or 
almost all, of the plan’s participants are no longer accruing benefits.

Effective January 1, 2016 the Company amended its salary pension plan in North America to freeze future 

pension benefits. This action required an obligation remeasurement for the curtailment of benefits, which 
resulted in a reduction of the Company’s pension expense. 

In 2016, the Company settled a portion of the U.S. Hourly Pension Plan obligation, which resulted in 
a settlement charge of $98 million. In 2014, the Company settled a portion of the U.S. Salary Pension Plan 
pension obligation, which resulted in a settlement charge of $30 million. On October 1, 2014, the Company 
settled the liability associated with its pension plan in the Netherlands, resulting in a settlement charge of 
approximately $35 million. Non-U.S. pension expense excludes $3 million of pension settlement costs that were 
recorded in restructuring expense in 2014. The table above excludes these charges. 

Amounts that are expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net pension 

expense during 2017:

Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience of the plans, which, to 

the extent benefits are based on compensation, includes assumed salary increases as presented above.  

For 2016, the Company’s weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.50% for 
the U.S. plans and 7.15% for the non-U.S. plans.  In developing this assumption the Company considered its 
historical 10-year average return (through December 31, 2016) and evaluated input from its third party pension 
plan asset consultants, including their review of asset class return expectations.  

It is the Company’s policy to invest pension plan assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of 

asset classes within established target asset allocation ranges.  The investment risk of the assets is limited by 
appropriate diversification both within and between asset classes.  The assets for the U.S. plans are maintained 
in a group trust.  The U.S. plans hold no individual assets other than the investment in the group trust.  The 
assets of the group trust and the Company’s non-U.S. plans are primarily invested in a broad mix of domestic 
and international equities, domestic and international bonds, and real estate, subject to the target asset allocation 
ranges.  The assets are managed with a view to ensuring that sufficient liquidity will be available to meet 
expected cash flow requirements.

The investment valuation policy of the Company is to value investments at fair value.  All investments are 

valued at their respective net asset values. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available 
are valued at the last reported sales price on their principal exchange on valuation date or official close for 
certain markets.  Fixed income investments are valued by an independent pricing service.  Investments in 
registered investment companies or collective pooled funds are valued at their respective net asset values.  
Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.  The fair value of real estate 
is determined by periodic appraisals.

In accordance with the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2015-07 in 2016, certain investments measured 

at net asset value (“NAV”), as a practical expedient for fair value, have been excluded from the fair value 
hierarchy. The fair value measurements tables presented below have been amended to conform to the current 
year presentation under ASU No. 2015-07. See Note 1 for more information.

The Company’s U.S. pension plan assets held in the group trust are measured at net asset value in the fair 
value hierarchy. The total U.S. plan assets amounted to $1,654 million and $1,909 million as of December 31, 
2016 and 2015, respectively. In 2016, the U.S. plan assets consisted of approximately 62% equity securities, 
31% debt securities, and 7% real estate and other.

The net increase (decrease) in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 pension plan assets is primarily due 
to purchases and sales of unlisted real estate funds.  The change in the fair value of Level 3 pension plan assets 
due to actual return on those assets was immaterial in 2016.

In order to maintain minimum funding requirements, the Company is required to make contributions to its 

defined benefit pension plans of $32 million in 2017.

The following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are 

expected to be paid in the years indicated:

The Company also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees, 

and employees in Canada, the U.K., The Netherlands and Australia. Participants’ contributions are based on 
their compensation. The Company matches contributions of participants, up to various limits, in substantially 
all plans.  Company contributions to these plans amounted to $34 million in 2016, $29 million in 2015, and $19 
million in 2014.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

The Company provides retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering certain U.S. salaried and 
hourly employees, and substantially all employees in Canada.  Benefits provided by the Company for hourly 
retirees are determined by collective bargaining.  Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement 
and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service.  The Company uses a December 31 
measurement date to measure its postretirement benefit obligations.

The changes in the postretirement benefit obligations for the year are as follows:

Other U.S. hourly retirees receive health and life insurance benefits from a multi-employer trust established 

by collective bargaining.  Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon 
specified amounts per hour worked and were $6 million in 2016, $6 million in 2015 and $6 million in 2014.  
Postretirement health and life benefits for retirees of foreign subsidiaries are generally provided through the 
national health care programs of the countries in which the subsidiaries are located.

Deferred income taxes reflect: (1) the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying 

amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes; 
and (2) carryovers and credits for income tax purposes.

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2016 and 2015

The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore 
the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events indicate that a review is required.  In 
determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal 
entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with other positive and 
negative evidence.

At December 31, 2016, before valuation allowance, the Company had unused foreign tax credits of $413 

million expiring in 2017 through 2026, research tax credits of $14 million expiring from 2019 to 2036, and 
alternative minimum tax credits of $18 million which do not expire and which will be available to offset future 
U.S. Federal income tax.  Approximately $151 million of the deferred tax assets related to operating and capital 
loss carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely, with the remaining $238 million expiring between 2017 
and 2036.

In certain jurisdictions, the Company’s analysis indicates that it has cumulative losses in recent years. 

This is considered significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable and, therefore, difficult to 
overcome. However, the cumulative loss position is not solely determinative and, accordingly, the Company 
considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. Based on its analysis, the Company 
has recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets where based on the weight of available 
evidence it is unlikely to realize those deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2016, the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for 
which income taxes had not been provided approximated $2.2 billion.  The Company intends to reinvest these 
earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations.  It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which 
would be payable should these earnings be distributed.  Deferred taxes are provided for earnings of non-U.S. 
jurisdictions when the Company plans to remit those earnings.

The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The 
Company accrues interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its income 
tax expense.

Based upon the outcome of tax examinations, judicial proceedings, or expiration of statute of limitations, 

it is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these unrecognized tax benefits may result in a payment 
that is materially different from the current estimate of the tax liabilities. The Company believes that it is 
reasonably possible that the estimated liability could decrease up to $11 million within the next 12 months. This 
is primarily the result of audit settlements or statute expirations in several taxing jurisdictions.

The Company is currently under examination in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates, including 

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Indonesia, and Italy. The 
years under examination range from 2006 through 2014. The Company has received tax assessments in excess 
of established reserves. The Company believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have 
been made. However, if tax assessments are settled against the Company at amounts in excess of established 
reserves, it could have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash 
flows. During 2016, the Company concluded income tax audits in several jurisdictions, including the Czech 
Republic, Germany, Italy, and Hungary.

On April 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility, which subsequently has 

been amended several times with the most recent amendment being entered into on February 3, 2016 (the 
“Amended Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the Vitro Acquisition on September 1, 2015 (see 
Note 19), the Company incurred $1,250 million of senior secured incremental term loan facilities, comprised of 
(i) a $675 million term loan A facility on substantially the same terms and conditions (including as to maturity) 
as the term loan A facility in the Amended Agreement and (ii) a $575 million term loan B facility, which was 
subsequently repaid in full in November 2016 as described below.

At December 31, 2016, the Amended Agreement includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a $600 

million multicurrency revolving credit facility, a $1,575 million term loan A facility ($1,395 million net of debt 
issuance costs), and a €279 million term loan A facility ($282 million net of debt issuance costs), each of which 
has a final maturity date of April 22, 2020.  At December 31, 2016, the Company had unused credit of $884 
million available under the Amended Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding 
under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2016 was 2.39%.

The Amended Agreement contains various covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain 

exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur certain liens, make certain investments, become liable under 
contingent obligations in certain defined instances only, make restricted payments, make certain asset sales 
within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, participate in sale and leaseback financing 
arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain subordinated debt obligations.

The Amended Agreement also contains one financial covenant, a Total Leverage Ratio, that requires the 
Company not to exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, 
by consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Amended Agreement. The Total Leverage Ratio could restrict the 
ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or 
acquisitions would cause the Total Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum of (i) 4.5x for the four 
fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, and (ii) 
4.0x for the fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. 

Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the 
Amended Agreement.  In such an event, the Company would be unable to request borrowings under the 
revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Amended Agreement, together with accrued interest, 
could then be declared immediately due and payable.  If an event of default occurs under the Amended 
Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Amended Agreement to 
become due and payable, this would result in a default under a number of other outstanding debt securities 
and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities.  As of December 31, 2016, the 
Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Amended Agreement.  In addition, the 
Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Amended 
Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

The interest rates on borrowings under the Amended Agreement are, at the Company’s option, the Base 

Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus an applicable margin.  The 
applicable margin for the term loan A facility and the revolving credit facility is linked to the Company’s Total 
Leverage Ratio and ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 0.75% for 
Base Rate loans.  In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 
0.20% to 0.30% per annum linked to the Total Leverage Ratio.

Borrowings under the Amended Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real 
estate and certain other excluded assets, of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity investments in certain 
of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign borrowings, of stock of certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  All borrowings under the Amended Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of 
the Company.

Also, in connection with the Vitro Acquisition, during August 2015, the Company issued senior notes 
with a face value of $700 million that bear interest at 5.875% and are due August 15, 2023 (the “Senior Notes 
due 2023”) and senior notes with a face value of $300 million that bear interest at 6.375% and are due August 
15, 2025 (together with the Senior Notes due 2023, the “2015 Senior Notes”).  The 2015 Senior Notes were 
issued via a private placement and are guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The 
net proceeds from the 2015 Senior Notes, after deducting the debt discount and debt issuance costs, totaled 
approximately $972 million and were used to finance, in part, the Vitro Acquisition.

During November 2016, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €500 million that bear 
interest at 3.125% and are due November 15, 2024.  The notes were issued via a private placement and are 
guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The net proceeds, after deducting the debt 
discount and debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $520 million and were used to repay the term loan B 
facility under the Amended Agreement.

The Company assesses its capital raising and refinancing needs on an ongoing basis and may enter into 

additional credit facilities and seek to issue equity and/or debt securities in the domestic and international 
capital markets if market conditions are favorable. Also, depending on market conditions, the Company may 
elect to repurchase portions of its debt securities in the open market.

The Company has a €185 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends 

through March 2019, subject to periodic renewal of backup credit lines.

Information related to the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program as of December 31, 2016

Asbestos

The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging bodily injury and death as a result of exposure 
to asbestos.  From 1948 to 1958, one of the Company’s former business units commercially produced and sold 
approximately $40 million of a high-temperature, calcium-silicate based pipe and block insulation material 
containing asbestos.  The Company sold its insulation business unit at the end of April 1958.  The typical 
asbestos personal injury lawsuit alleges various theories of liability, including negligence, gross negligence and 
strict liability and seeks compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages in various amounts (herein referred 
to as “asbestos claims”).

The following table shows the approximate number of plaintiffs and claimants who had asbestos claims 
pending against the Company at the beginning of each listed year, the number of claims disposed of during that 
year, the year’s filings and the claims pending at the end of each listed year (eliminating duplicate filings):

  1,400   2,080   2,260

Based on an analysis of the lawsuits pending as of December 31, 2016, approximately 88% of plaintiffs 
either do not specify the monetary damages sought, or in the case of court filings, claim an amount sufficient to 
invoke the jurisdictional minimum of the trial court.  Approximately 9% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages 
above the jurisdictional minimum up to, and including, $15 million or less, and 3% of plaintiffs specifically 
plead damages greater than $15 million but less than or equal to $100 million.  

As indicated by the foregoing summary, current pleading practice permits considerable variation in the 
assertion of monetary damages.  The Company’s experience resolving hundreds of thousands of asbestos claims 
and lawsuits over an extended period demonstrates that the monetary relief alleged in a complaint bears little 
relevance to a claim’s merits or disposition value.  Rather, the amount potentially recoverable is determined 
by such factors as the type and severity of the plaintiff’s asbestos disease, the plaintiff’s medical history and 
exposure to other disease-causing agents, the product identification evidence against the Company and other 
co-defendants, the defenses available to the Company and other co-defendants, the specific jurisdiction in which 
the claim is made, and the plaintiff’s firm representing the claimant.

In addition to the pending claims set forth above, the Company has claims-handling agreements in place 

with many plaintiffs’ counsel throughout the country.  These agreements require evaluation and negotiation 
regarding whether particular claimants qualify under the criteria established by such agreements. The criteria for 
such claims include verification of a compensable illness and a reasonable probability of exposure to a product 
manufactured by the Company’s former business unit during its manufacturing period ending in 1958.  

The Company has also been a defendant in other asbestos-related lawsuits or claims involving maritime 
workers, medical monitoring claimants, co-defendants and property damage claimants.  Based upon its past 
experience, the Company believes that these categories of lawsuits and claims will not involve any material 
liability and they are not included in the above description of pending matters or in the following description of 
disposed matters.

Since receiving its first asbestos claim, the Company as of December 31, 2016, has disposed of the 
asbestos claims of approximately 398,000 plaintiffs and claimants at an average indemnity payment per claim 
of approximately $9,000.  The Company’s asbestos indemnity payments have varied on a per claim basis, and 
are expected to continue to vary considerably over time.  Asbestos-related cash payments for 2016, 2015 and 
2014 were $125 million, $138 million, and $148 million, respectively.  The Company’s cash payments per 
claim disposed (inclusive of legal costs) were approximately $71,000, $95,000 and $81,000 for the years ended 
December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. 

As discussed above, the Company’s objective is to achieve, where possible, resolution of asbestos claims 

pursuant to claims-handling agreements.  Failure of claimants to meet certain medical and product exposure 
criteria in the Company’s administrative claims handling agreements has generally reduced the number of 
claims that would otherwise have been received by the Company in the tort system. In addition, certain court 
orders and legislative acts have reduced or eliminated the number of claims that the Company otherwise 
would have received by the Company in the tort system.  These developments generally have had the effect of 
increasing the Company’s per-claim average indemnity payment over time.  

Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total 

of approximately $4.9 billion through 2016, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability.  The 
Company’s estimates of its liability have been significantly affected by, among other factors, the volatility 
of asbestos-related litigation in the United States, the significant number of co-defendants that have filed for 
bankruptcy, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns against the Company, the 
significant expansion of the defendants that are now sued in this litigation, and the continuing changes in the 
extent to which these defendants participate in the resolution of cases in which the Company is also a defendant. 

The Company continues to monitor trends that may affect its ultimate liability and analyze the 

developments and variables likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against the 
Company.  The material components of the Company’s total accrued liability are determined by the Company 
in connection with its annual comprehensive legal review and consist of the following estimates, to the extent it 
is probable that such liabilities have been incurred and can be reasonably estimated: (i) the liability for asbestos 
claims already asserted against the Company; (ii) the liability for asbestos claims not yet asserted against 
the Company; and (iii) the legal defense costs estimated to be incurred in connection with the claims already 
asserted and those claims the Company believes will be asserted.

As noted above, the Company conducts a comprehensive legal review of its asbestos-related liabilities and 

costs annually in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual results of operations, unless significant 
changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier review.  As part of its current annual comprehensive 
legal review, the Company provides historical claims filing data to a third party with expertise in determining 
the impact of disease incidence and mortality on future filing trends to develop information to assist the 
Company in estimating the total number of future claims to be filed.  The Company uses this estimate of total 
future claims, along with an estimation of disposition costs and related legal costs, as inputs to develop its best 
estimate of its total probable liability. If the results of the annual comprehensive legal review indicate that the 
existing amount of the accrued liability is lower (higher) than its reasonably estimable asbestos-related costs, 
then the Company will record an appropriate charge (credit) to the Company’s results of operations to increase 
(decrease) the accrued liability. 

The significant assumptions underlying the material components of the Company’s accrual are:

a) 

 settlements will continue to be limited almost exclusively to claimants who were exposed to the 
Company’s asbestos-containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;

b) 

c) 

 claims will continue to be resolved primarily under the Company’s administrative claims agreements 
or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;

 the incidence of serious asbestos-related disease cases and claiming patterns against the Company for 
such cases do not change materially;

d) 

 the Company is substantially able to defend itself successfully at trial and on appeal;

e) 

f) 

 the number and timing of additional co-defendant bankruptcies do not change significantly the assets 
available to participate in the resolution of cases in which the Company is a defendant; and

 co-defendants with substantial resources and assets continue to participate significantly in the 
resolution of future asbestos lawsuits and claims.

For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company concluded that accruals in the amounts of 

$692 million and $817 million, respectively, were required.  These amounts have not been discounted for the 
time value of money.  The Company’s comprehensive legal reviews resulted in charges of $0, $16 million and 
$46 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that it will incur a loss for its asbestos-related liabilities 

in excess of the amount currently recognized, which is $692 million as of December 31, 2016.  The Company 
estimates that reasonably possible losses could be as high as $825 million.  This estimate of additional 
reasonably possible loss reflects a legal judgment about the number and cost of potential future claims and legal 
costs. The Company believes this estimate is consistent with the level of variability it has experienced when 
comparing actual results to recent near-term projections. However, it is also possible that the ultimate asbestos-
related liability could be above this estimate.

The Company expects a significant majority of the total number of claims to be received in the next ten 

years.  This timeframe appropriately reflects the mortality of current and expected claimants in light of the 
Company’s sale of its insulation business unit in 1958. 

As noted above, the Company’s asbestos-related liability is based on a projection of new claims that will 

eventually be filed against the Company and the estimated average disposition cost of these claims and related 
legal costs. Changes in these projections, and estimates, as well as changes in the significant assumptions noted 
above, have the potential to significantly impact the estimation of the Company’s asbestos-related liability.

Other Matters

The Company’s joint venture in China had been involved in litigation with its partner regarding whether 

the joint venture should be dissolved. Following an ownership change in 2016 with respect to the joint venture 
partner, this litigation has been withdrawn.

On July 5, 2016, the Company learned that the Enforcement Division of the SEC is conducting an 
investigation into certain accounting and control matters pertaining to the Company’s determination of its 
asbestos-related liabilities.  On May 13, 2016, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the 
years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 in order to correct an error related to the Company’s method 
for estimating its future asbestos-related liabilities. The Company is cooperating with the SEC’s investigation.  
At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or provide meaningful quantification 
of how the final resolution of this matter may impact its future consolidated financial statements, results of 
operations, or cash flows.

Other litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims 
incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are non-routine and involve 
compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief.  The Company records a 
liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the 
liability can be reasonably estimated.  Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the 
factors upon which the estimates are based, including additional information, negotiations, settlements and other 
events.

The components of comprehensive income are: (a) net earnings; (b) change in fair value of certain 
derivative instruments; (c) pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments; and (d) foreign currency 
translation adjustments.  The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative 
strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year.

The Company has various nonqualified plans approved by share owners under which it has granted stock 

options, restricted shares and performance vested restricted share units. At December 31, 2016, there were 
5,081,000 shares available for grants under these plans.  Total compensation cost for all grants of shares and 
units under these plans was $15 million, $15 million and $21 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 
2015 and 2014, respectively.

Stock Options

In general, subject to change in control, options become exercisable 25% per year beginning on the first 
anniversary of grant. No options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted.  
In general, options expire following termination of employment or the seventh anniversary of the option grant. 
The fair value of options is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

Shares granted after March 21, 2005 and prior to 2011, vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary 
and unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment.  Restricted share units granted to employees 
after 2010 vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary.  Holders of vested restricted share units receive 
one share of the Company’s common stock for each unit as units vest.  Granted but unvested restricted share 
units are forfeited upon termination, unless certain retirement criteria are met. Restricted share units granted to 
directors vest after one year.

The fair value of the restricted shares and restricted share units is equal to the market price of the 

Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.  The fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units, 
is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Performance Vested Restricted Share Units

Performance vested restricted share units vest on January 1 of the third year following the year in which 

they are granted.  Holders of vested units may receive up to 2 shares of the Company’s common stock for 
each unit, depending upon the attainment of consolidated performance goals established by the Compensation 
Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.  If minimum goals are not met, no shares will be issued.  
Granted but unvested restricted share units are forfeited upon termination of employment, unless certain 
retirement criteria are met.

The fair value of each performance vested restricted share unit is equal to the product of the fair value 

of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and the estimated number of shares into which the 
performance vested restricted share unit will be converted.  The fair value of performance vested restricted 
share units is amortized ratably over the vesting period.  Should the estimated number of shares into which the 
performance vested restricted share unit will be converted change, an adjustment will be recorded to recognize 
the accumulated difference in amortization between the revised and previous estimates.

Approximately 158,000 shares were issued in 2016 with a fair value at issuance date of $4 million related 

to performance vested restricted share units.

As of December 31, 2016, there was $17 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to all 

unvested stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units and performance vested restricted share units.  
That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years.

In 2016, the Company evaluated the future estimated earnings and cash flow of an equity investment 
and determined that it was other-than-temporarily impaired. As such, the Company recorded an impairment 
charge of $25 million to reduce its carrying value down to its estimated fair value. The Company classified 
the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as Level 3 in the fair value 
hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

In 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $69 million resulting from a non-income tax assessment from a 

foreign tax authority.

On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the Vitro Acquisition in a cash transaction valued at 
approximately $2.297 billion in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments.  
The Vitro Business in Mexico is the largest supplier of glass containers in that country manufacturing glass 
containers across multiple end uses, including food, soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits. The Vitro Acquisition 
included five food and beverage glass container plants in Mexico, a plant in Bolivia and a North American 
distribution business, and provided the Company with a competitive position in the glass packaging market 
in Mexico.  The results of the Vitro Business have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements since September 1, 2015 and contributed approximately $608 million of incremental net sales and 
$122 million of incremental segment operating profit in the year ended December 31, 2016.  Vitro’s food 
and beverage glass container operations in Mexico and Bolivia are included in the Latin American operating 
segment while its distribution business is included in the North American operating segment.

The Company financed the Vitro Acquisition with the proceeds from a senior notes offering, cash on hand 

and the incremental term loan facilities (see Note 11).

The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based 
upon their respective fair values.  The purchase agreement contained customary provisions for working capital 
adjustments, which the Company resolved with the seller in the first quarter of 2016.  The Company completed 
the purchase price allocation process in the third quarter of 2016.  The following table summarizes the fair value

The fair value of the tangible assets was estimated utilizing income and market approaches, considering 
remaining useful life. The customer list intangible asset includes the Company’s established relationships with 
its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. The value 
assigned to customer list intangibles is based on the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset 
group after recognition of required returns to other contributory assets. 

Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible 

assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Vitro Acquisition goodwill is not deductible for tax 
purposes.

The balance sheet adjustments identified above did not result in any significant adjustments to the periods’ 

income statements.

On April 4, 2016, the annulment committee formed by the World Bank’s International Centre for 
Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) ruled that a subsidiary of the Company is free to pursue the 
enforcement of a prior arbitration award against Venezuela. That award amounts to more than $485 million 
after including interest from the date of the expropriation by Venezuela (October 26, 2010).  Venezuela’s 
application to annul the award is still pending, although the annulment proceedings were suspended in October 
2016 because Venezuela has not paid its fees owed to ICSID.  If the proceeding is stayed for non-payment 
for a consecutive period in excess of six months, ICSID’s Secretary General could move that the committee 
discontinue the annulment proceeding altogether.  The Company intends to take appropriate steps to vigorously 
enforce and collect the award, which is enforceable in approximately 150 member states that are party to the 
ICSID Convention. However, even with the lifting of the stay of enforcement, the Company recognizes that the 
collection of the award may present significant practical challenges. Because the award has yet to be satisfied 
and the annulment proceeding is pending, the Company is unable at this stage to reasonably predict the efforts 
that will be necessary to successfully enforce collection of the award, the amount of the award or the timing of 
any such collection efforts. Therefore, the Company has not recognized this award in its financial statements. 

A separate arbitration is pending with ICSID to obtain compensation primarily for third-party minority 

shareholders’ lost interests in the two expropriated plants.

The loss from discontinued operations of $7 million and $4 million, for the years ended December 31, 2016 

and 2015, respectively, relates to ongoing costs for the Venezuelan expropriation.

The loss from discontinued operations of $23 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 included a 

settlement of a dispute with a purchaser of a previously disposed business, as well as ongoing costs related to 
the Venezuelan expropriation.

The following presents condensed consolidating financial information for the Company, segregating:  
(1) Owens-Illinois, Inc., the issuer of senior debentures (the “Parent”); (2) the two subsidiaries which have 
guaranteed the senior debentures on a subordinated basis (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”); and (3) all other 
subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).  The Guarantor Subsidiaries are 100% owned direct and 
indirect subsidiaries of the Company and their guarantees are full, unconditional and joint and several.  They 
have no operations and function only as intermediate holding companies.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information 

required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and 
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and 
that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required 
disclosure.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that 
any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance 
of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the 
cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Also, the Company has investments in certain 
unconsolidated entities.  As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and 
procedures with respect to such entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those maintained with 
respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Exchange Act, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the 
supervision and with the participation of management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period 
covered by this report.  Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 
Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable 
assurance level as of December 31, 2016.

The management of Owens-Illinois, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal 

control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to 
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial 
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United 
States. However, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, 
even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial 
statement preparation and reporting.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of 

December 31, 2016. In making this assessment management used the criteria for effective internal control 
over financial reporting as described in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO framework) in 2013.

Based on this assessment, using the criteria above, management concluded that the Company’s system of 

internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2016.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, that audited the 

Company’s consolidated financial statements, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control 
over financial reporting which is included below.

In 2016, the Company completed several changes to its internal control over financial reporting and 
remediated the previously reported material weakness.  A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination 
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that 
a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or 
detected on a timely basis.  In its Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended 
December 31, 2015, management reported a material weakness in the Company’s design of its control activities 
for the estimation of liabilities related to probable losses for unasserted asbestos claims. Specifically, the 
Company did not have sufficient controls in place to provide reasonable assurance that a material error would 
be prevented or detected related to the application of ASC 450 to the estimation of probable losses from 
unasserted asbestos claims.

The following changes were made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:

1. 

2. 

 Established new policies, procedures and controls for the review, approval and application of generally 
accepted accounting principles related to, and disclosure with respect to, unasserted asbestos claims.

 As a result of the new controls discussed above, the Company made certain process changes regarding 
the estimation of its probable asbestos-related liability. This included implementing a new model with 
actuarial inputs to estimate the total number of future asbestos-related claims to be filed against the 
Company.

3. 

 The Company uses the estimate of total future claims, along with an estimation of related disposition 
costs and legal costs, as inputs to develop its best estimate of its probable asbestos-related liability.

The Company has completed the redesign of its controls related to estimating liabilities of probable losses 

for unasserted asbestos claims. The Company has assessed both the design and operation of the redesigned 
controls and found them to be both designed and operating effectively. The Company has determined that the 
remediation activities implemented are sufficient to allow it to conclude that the previously disclosed material

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Share Owners of  
Owens-Illinois, Inc.

We have audited Owens-Illinois, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, 
based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Owens-Illinois, Inc.’s 
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its 
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material 
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing 
the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal 
control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the 
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 

assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external 
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over 
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in 
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; 
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial 
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures 
of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the 
company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial 
statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that 
controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the 
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Owens-Illinois, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over 

financial reporting as of December 31, 2016, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Illinois, Inc. as of December 31, 2016 and 
2015, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations, comprehensive income, share owners’ 
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 and our report dated 
February 10, 2017 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Share Owner of  
Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. (the 
Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of results of operations, 
comprehensive income, share owner’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 
December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to 
perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration 
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the 
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal 
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, 
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the 
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 
31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

been included in the consolidated financial statements from dates of acquisition.

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in which it has a significant ownership 
interest, generally 20% to 50%. Other investments are accounted for at cost. The Company monitors other than 
temporary declines in fair value and records reductions in carrying values when appropriate.

subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. (“OI Group”) and an indirect subsidiary of Owens-Illinois, Inc. 
(“OI Inc.”). Although OI Inc. does not conduct any operations, it has substantial obligations related to 
outstanding indebtedness and asbestos-related payments. OI Inc. relies primarily on distributions from its direct 
and indirect subsidiaries to meet these obligations.

For federal and certain state income tax purposes, the taxable income of the Company is included in the 
consolidated tax returns of OI Inc. and income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with 
separate returns.

generally accepted in the United States requires management of the Company to make estimates and

recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset.  Factory machinery and equipment is depreciated over 
periods ranging from 5 to 25 years with the majority of such assets (principally glass-melting furnaces and 
forming machines) depreciated over 7 to 15 years.  Buildings and building equipment are depreciated over 
periods ranging from 10 to 50 years. Depreciation expense directly attributed to the manufacturing of the 
Company’s products is included in cost of goods sold.  Depreciation expense related to non-manufacturing 
activities is included in selling and administrative. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of assets 
recorded under capital leases.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Costs assigned to PP&E of 
acquired businesses are based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  The Company evaluates the 
recoverability of PP&E based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors 
indicate that impairment may exist.  If impairment exists, the asset is written down to fair value.

Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value.  When appropriate, derivative 
instruments are designated as and are effective as hedges, in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States.  If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, all changes in fair value of 
the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings.  The Company does not 
enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivatives. Cash 
flows from forward exchange contracts not designated as hedges are classified as an investing activity.  Cash 
flows of commodity forward contracts are classified as operating activities.

paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants.  Generally accepted accounting principles defines a three-tier fair value 
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:  Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or 

indirectly; and

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to 

develop assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported for cash and short-term loans approximate fair value.  In addition, carrying 

amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined 
interest rates.  Fair values for the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are generally based on 
published market quotations.

The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities consist of natural gas forwards and foreign exchange 
option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to valuing these contracts.  Natural gas 
forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These inputs 
are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, the 
Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also evaluates 
counterparty risk in determining fair values.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 

(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for 
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, 
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which delayed by one year the effective date of the new revenue 
recognition standard, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company has started an 
implementation process, including a review of customer contracts, to evaluate the effect this standard will have 
on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  At this time, the Company does not expect that 
the implementation of this standard in 2018 will have a significant impact on the timing in which it recognizes 
revenue.  While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, the Company does 
not currently expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on consolidated net income or 
the consolidated balance sheet. The Company plans to select the modified retrospective transition method upon 
adoption effective January 1, 2018.

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. Under this guidance, lessees 
will be required to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, with 
the exception of short-term leases. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments 
arising from a lease, and will be measured as the present value of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset 
represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease term, and will be measured at the lease 
liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs. 
The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term, generally on 
a straight-line basis. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. ASU No. 2016-02 is 
required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach for all leases existing as of the effective date 
and provides for certain practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating 
the effects that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, 
and anticipates the new guidance will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements as the Company 
has a significant number of leases. As further described in Note 15, Operating Leases, as of December 31, 2016, 
the Company had minimum lease commitments under non-cancellable operating leases totaling $205 million.

Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses 
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance requires the measurement 
of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience,

current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures 
regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The new guidance is effective 
for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within 
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the 
adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee 
Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as 
income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, excess tax benefits should be classified 
along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Application of 
the standard is required for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect a significant impact 
in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension Asset Value - In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement 

(Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or 
Its Equivalent).” Under the new guidance, investments measured at net asset value (“NAV”), as a practical 
expedient for fair value, are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Removing investments measured using the 
practical expedient from the fair value hierarchy is intended to eliminate the diversity in practice that currently 
exists with respect to the categorization of these investments. The new guidance is effective for the Company 
on January 1, 2016. The guidance impacted the presentation of certain pension related assets that use NAV as a 
practical expedient. See Note 9 for additional information.

participates in the equity compensation plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be 
granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc., restricted common shares of OI Inc., or restricted share 
units of OI Inc.

Stock Options

In general, subject to change in control, options become exercisable 25% per year beginning on the first 
anniversary of grant. No options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted.  

In general, options expire following termination of employment or the seventh anniversary of the option 

grant. The fair value of options is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

Shares granted after March 21, 2005 and prior to 2011, vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary 
and unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment.  Restricted share units granted to employees 
after 2010 vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary.  Holders of vested restricted share units receive 
one share of the Company’s common stock for each unit as units vest.  Granted but unvested restricted share 
units are forfeited upon termination, unless certain retirement criteria are met. Restricted share units granted to 
directors vest after one year.

The fair value of the restricted shares and restricted share units is equal to the market price of the 

Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.  The fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units 
is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Performance Vested Restricted Share Units

Performance vested restricted share units vest on January 1 of the third year following the year in which 
they are granted. Holders of vested units may receive up to two shares of OI Inc.’s common stock for each unit, 
depending upon the attainment of consolidated performance goals established by the Compensation Committee 
of OI Inc.’s Board of Directors. If minimum goals are not met, no shares will be issued. Granted but unvested 
restricted share units are forfeited upon termination of employment, unless certain retirement criteria are met.

The fair value of each performance vested restricted share unit is equal to the product of the fair value of 
OI Inc.’s common stock on the date of grant and the estimated number of shares into which the performance 
vested restricted share unit will be converted. The fair value of performance vested restricted share units is 
amortized ratably over the vesting period. Should the estimated number of shares into which the performance 
vested restricted share unit will be converted change, an adjustment will be recorded to recognize the 
accumulated difference in amortization between the revised and previous estimates.

As discussed in Note 21, costs incurred under these plans by OI Inc. related to stock-based compensation 
awards granted directly to the Company’s employees are included in the allocable costs charged to the Company 
and other operating subsidiaries of OI Inc. on an intercompany basis.

The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations:  Europe, North America, 
Latin America and Asia Pacific. In connection with the Company’s acquisition (the “Vitro Acquisition”) of 
the food and beverage glass container business of Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiaries as conducted in the 
United States, Mexico and Bolivia (the “Vitro Business”) on September 1, 2015 (see Note 17), the Company 
has renamed the former South America segment to the Latin America segment. These four segments are aligned 
with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass 
operations.  Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing 
are reported with Retained corporate costs and other.  These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, 
global engineering, and certain equity investments.  Retained corporate costs and other also includes certain 
headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs 
that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists 

of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision 
for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative 
of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The Company’s management uses segment 
operating profit, in combination with selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate 
resources.  Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses 
based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.

2014

Based on an evaluation of each of the Company’s equity investments for the three years ending 

December 31, 2016, no investments exceeded the significant subsidiary thresholds per Rule 3-09 of Regulation 
S-X.  As such, separate financial statements for the Company’s equity investments are not required to be filed.

The Company made purchases of approximately $176 million and $161 million from equity affiliates in 

2016 and 2015, respectively, and owed approximately $76 million and $66 million to equity affiliates as of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

There is a difference of approximately $12 million as of December 31, 2016, between the amount at which 
certain investments are carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets.  The portion of the difference 
related to inventory or amortizable assets is amortized as a reduction of the equity earnings.  The remaining 
difference is considered goodwill.

The acquisition related adjustments in 2016 and 2015 primarily relate to the Vitro Acquisition (see Note 17). 

Goodwill for the Asia Pacific segment is $0 and net of accumulated impairment losses of $1,135 million as 

of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1 (or more frequently if impairment indicators 

arise) using a two-step process.  Step 1 compares the business enterprise value (“BEV”) of each reporting unit 
with its carrying value. The BEV is computed based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at the weighted 
average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. If the BEV is less than the carrying value for any 
reporting unit, then Step 2 must be performed.  Step 2 compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the

carrying amount of goodwill.  Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value will 
be recorded as an impairment loss.  The calculations of the BEV in Step 1 and the implied fair value of goodwill 
in Step 2 are based on significant unobservable inputs, such as price trends, customer demand, material costs, 
discount rates and asset replacement costs, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined 

that no impairment existed.

Intangible assets

On September 1, 2015, the Company acquired customer list intangibles as part of the Vitro Acquisition (see 

Note 17). 

Customer list intangible assets are amortized using the accelerated amortization method over their 20 
year lives. Net intangible asset values were $464 million and $597 million for the years ended December 31, 
2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $39 million, $21 million and $1 
million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Estimated amortization related to 
intangible assets through 2021 is as follows: 2017, $44 million; 2018, $44 million; 2019, $42 million; 2020, $41 
million; and 2021, $39 million. No impairment existed on these assets at December 31, 2016.

The Company has determined that the fair value measurements related to the customer list intangibles are 

based on significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Capitalized software includes costs related to the acquisition and development of internal-use software. 

These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Amortization expense for capitalized 
software was $6 million, $9 million and $8 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Estimated 
amortization related to capitalized software through 2021 is as follows: 2017, $6 million; 2018, $6 million; 
2019, $5 million; 2020, $5 million; and 2021, $4 million.

The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities which consist of natural gas forwards and foreign 

exchange option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to value these contracts.  
Natural gas forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These 
inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, 
the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also 
evaluates counterparty risk in determining fair values.

Commodity Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

In North America, the Company enters into commodity forward contracts related to forecasted natural gas 
requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for 
natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market 
and related price risk and periodically enters into commodity forward contracts in order to hedge a portion of its 
usage requirements. The majority of the sales volume in North America is tied to customer contracts that contain 
provisions that pass the price of natural gas to the customer.  In certain of these contracts, the customer has the 
option of fixing the natural gas price component for a specified period of time.  At December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
the Company had entered into commodity forward contracts covering approximately 12,300,000 MM BTUs and 
7,300,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

The Company accounts for the above forward contracts as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2016 
and recognizes them on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of 
a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified 
into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. An 
unrecognized gain of $6 million at December 31, 2016 and an unrecognized loss of $4 million at December 31, 
2015 related to the commodity forward contracts were included in Accumulated OCI, and will be reclassified 
into earnings over the next twelve to twenty-four months.  Any material portion of the change in the fair 
value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current 
earnings.  The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 
2015 was not material.

The effect of the commodity forward contracts on the results of operations for the years ended December 

31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts and not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign 
currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign 
currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated 
in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company may also use forward exchange

agreements to offset the foreign currency risk for receivables and payables, including intercompany receivables, 
payables and loans, not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies. The Company records these 
short-term forward exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are 
recognized in current earnings.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had outstanding forward exchange and option agreements 

denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $490 million and $790 million, 
respectively, related primarily to intercompany transactions and loans.

The Company continually reviews its manufacturing footprint and operating cost structure and may 

decide to close operations or reduce headcount to gain efficiencies, integrate acquired operations, reduce future 
expenses and other market factors.  The Company incurs costs associated with these actions including employee 
severance and benefits, other exit costs such as those related to contract terminations, and asset impairment 
charges.  The Company also may incur other costs related to closed facilities including environmental 
remediation, clean up, dismantling and preparation for sale or other disposition.

The Company accounts for restructuring and other costs under applicable provisions of generally accepted 

accounting principles.  Charges for employee severance and related benefits are generally accrued based on 
contractual arrangements with employees or their representatives.  Other exit costs are accrued based on the 
estimated cost to settle related contractual arrangements.  Estimated environmental remediation costs are 
accrued when specific claims have been received or are probable of being received.

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write downs of certain 
long-lived assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell.  The 
Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as 
Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

When a decision is made to take these actions, the Company manages and accounts for them 

programmatically apart from the on-going operations of the business.  Information related to major programs 
(as in the case of the European Asset Optimization and Asia Pacific Restructuring programs below) are 
presented separately.  Minor initiatives are presented on a combined basis as Other Restructuring Actions. These 
restructuring initiatives taken by the Company are not related to the European Asset Optimization program or 
the Asia Pacific restructuring plan.  When charges related to major programs are completed, remaining accrual 
balances are classified with Other Restructuring Actions.

European Asset Optimization

In 2011, the Company initiated the European Asset Optimization program to increase the efficiency and 

capability of its European operations and to better align its European manufacturing footprint with market and 
customer needs.  This program involved making additional investments in certain facilities and addressing 
assets with higher cost structures.  As part of this program, the Company recorded charges of $0, $0, and $1 
million for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively for employee costs, write-down of assets, and 
environmental remediation related to decisions to close furnaces and manufacturing facilities in Europe.  The 
Company recorded total cumulative charges of $127 million and does not expect to execute any further actions 
under this program.

Asia Pacific Restructuring

Since 2011, the Company has implemented a restructuring plan in its Asia Pacific segment, primarily 
related to aligning its supply base with lower demand in the region.  As part of this plan, the Company recorded 
charges of $4 million, $5 million and $73 million for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, 
for employee costs, write-down of assets, and pension charges related to furnace closures and additional 
restructuring activities. The Company recorded total cumulative charges of $224 million and does not expect to 
execute any further actions under this program.

Other Restructuring Actions

In 2016, the Company recorded charges of $92 million for other restructuring actions.  These charges 
primarily represented employee costs, write-down of assets, and other exit costs of $64 million for a plant 
closures in Latin America, Europe and North America and $28 million related to other restructuring actions. The 
Company took certain other restructuring actions and recorded charges in 2015 of $58 million. These charges 
primarily related to employee costs, write-down of assets and other exit costs totaling $14 million for a plant 
closure and furnace closure in Latin America, $38 million for a plant closure in North America and $6 million 
for other restructuring actions. In 2014, the Company took certain other restructuring actions and recorded 
charges of $2 million for employee costs related to global headcount reduction initiatives.

Pension Benefit Plans

The Company participates in OI Inc.’s defined benefit pension plans for a substantial number of employees 
located in the United States. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length 
of service for hourly employees. OI Inc.’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be 
available to meet future benefit requirements. Independent actuaries determine pension costs for each subsidiary 
of OI Inc. included in the plans; however, accumulated benefit obligation information and plan assets pertaining 
to each subsidiary have not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated benefit obligation and the 
plan assets related to the pension plans for domestic employees have been retained by another subsidiary of 
OI Inc. Net expense to results of operations for the Company’s allocated portion of the domestic pension costs 
amounted to $23 million in 2016, $24 million in 2015 and $19 million in 2014.

OI Inc. also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees of 

the Company. Participation is voluntary and participants’ contributions are based on their compensation. 
OI Inc. matches contributions of participants, up to various limits, in substantially all plans. OI Inc. charges 
the Company for its share of the match. The Company’s share of the contributions to these plans amounted to 
$32 million in 2016, $27 million in 2015 and $17 million in 2014.

The Company also has defined benefit pension plans covering a substantial number of employees in several 

non-U.S. jurisdictions. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of 
service for hourly employees. The Company’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be 
available to meet future benefit requirements. The Company’s defined benefit pension plans use a December 31 
measurement date.

On October 1, 2014, the Company settled the liability associated with its pension plan in the Netherlands, 
resulting in a settlement charge of approximately $35 million. Non-U.S. pension expense excludes $3 million 
of pension settlement costs that were recorded in restructuring expense in 2014. The table above excludes 
these charges.

Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience of the plans, which, to 

the extent benefits are based on compensation, includes assumed salary increases as presented above.

For 2016, the Company’s weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.15% for the 

non-U.S. plans. In developing this assumption, the Company considered its historical 10-year average return 
(through December 31, 2016) and evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset consultants, including 
their review of asset class return expectations

It is the Company’s policy to invest pension plan assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array 
of asset classes within established target asset allocation ranges. The investment risk of the assets is limited 
by appropriate diversification both within and between asset classes. The assets of the group trust and the 
Company’s non-U.S. plans are primarily invested in a broad mix of domestic and international equities, 
domestic and international bonds, and real estate, subject to the target asset allocation ranges. The assets 
are managed with a view to ensuring that sufficient liquidity will be available to meet expected cash flow 
requirements.

The investment valuation policy of the Company is to value investments at fair value. All investments are 
valued at their respective net asset values. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available 
are valued at the last reported sales price on their principal exchange on valuation date or official close for 
certain markets. Fixed income investments are valued by an independent pricing service. Investments in 
registered investment companies or collective pooled funds are valued at their respective net asset values. 
Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of real estate 
is determined by periodic appraisals.

In accordance with the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2015-07 in 2016, certain investments measured 

at net asset value (“NAV”), as a practical expedient for fair value, have been excluded from the fair value 
hierarchy. The fair value measurements tables presented below have been amended to conform to the current 
year presentation under ASU No. 2015-07. See Note 1 for more information.

In 2016, the non-U.S. plan assets consisted of approximately 41% equity securities, 42% debt securities, 

and 17% real estate and other. The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the 
Company’s non-U.S. pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

The net increase (decrease) in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 pension plan assets is primarily due 
to purchases and sales of unlisted real estate funds. The change in the fair value of Level 3 pension plan assets 
due to actual return on those assets was immaterial in 2016.

In order to maintain minimum funding requirements, the Company is required to make contributions to its 

non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans of approximately $24 million in 2017.

The following estimated future benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are 

expected to be paid in the years indicated:

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

OI Inc. provides retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering certain U.S. salaried and hourly 

employees. Benefits provided by the Company for hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. 
Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of 
creditable service. OI Inc. uses a December 31 measurement date to measure its postretirement benefit obligations.

The Company’s net periodic postretirement benefit income, as allocated by OI Inc., for domestic employees 

was $2 million, $2 million, and $1 million at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company also has postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all employees in Canada. The 

following tables relate to the Company’s postretirement benefit plans in Canada. 

The changes in the postretirement benefit obligations for the year are as follows:

The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore 

the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events indicate that a review is required. In 
determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal 
entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with other positive and 
negative evidence.

In certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company’s analysis indicates that it has cumulative losses in recent 
years. This is considered significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable and, therefore, difficult 
to overcome. However, the cumulative loss position is not solely determinative and, accordingly, the Company 
considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. Based on its analysis, the Company 
has recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets where based on the weight of available 
evidence it is unlikely to realize those deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2016, before valuation allowance, the Company had unused foreign tax credits of 

$414 million expiring in 2017 through 2026, and research tax credit of $14 million expiring from 2019 to 
2036, which will be available to offset future income tax. Approximately $151 million of the deferred tax 
assets related to operating and capital loss carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely, with the remaining 
$129 million expiring between 2017 and 2036.

At December 31, 2016, the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for 
which income taxes had not been provided approximated $2.2 billion. The Company intends to reinvest these 
earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which 
would be payable should these earnings be distributed. Deferred taxes are provided for earnings of non-U.S. 
jurisdictions when the Company plans to remit those earnings.

The Company is included in OI Inc.’s consolidated tax returns for U.S. federal and certain state income 
tax purposes. The consolidated group has net operating losses, capital losses, alternative minimum tax credits, 
foreign tax credits and research and development credits available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. 
Income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns.

The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The 
Company accrues interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its income 
tax expense. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the 
years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

Based upon the outcome of tax examinations, judicial proceedings, or expiration of statute of limitations, 

it is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these unrecognized tax benefits may result in a payment 
that is materially different from the current estimate of the tax liabilities. The Company believes that it is 
reasonably possible that the estimated liability could decrease up to $11 million within the next 12 months. This 
is primarily the result of audit settlements or statute expirations in several taxing jurisdictions.

The Company is currently under examination in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates, including 

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Indonesia, and Italy. The 
years under examination range from 2006 through 2014. The Company has received tax assessments in excess 
of established reserves. The Company believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have 
been made. However, if tax assessments are settled against the Company at amounts in excess of established 
reserves, it could have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash 
flows. During 2016, the Company concluded income tax audits in several jurisdictions, including the Czech 
Republic, Germany, Italy, and Hungary.

On April 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility, which subsequently has 

been amended several times with the most recent amendment being entered into on February 3, 2016 (the 
“Amended Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the Vitro Acquisition on September 1, 2015 (see 
Note 17), the Company incurred $1,250 million of senior secured incremental term loan facilities, comprised of 
(i) a $675 million term loan A facility on substantially the same terms and conditions (including as to maturity) 
as the term loan A facility in the Amended Agreement and (ii) a $575 million term loan B facility, which was 
subsequently repaid in full in November 2016 as described below.

At December 31, 2016, the Amended Agreement includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a $600 

million multicurrency revolving credit facility, a $1,575 million term loan A facility ($1,395 million net of debt 
issuance costs), and a €279 million term loan A facility ($282 million net of debt issuance costs), each of which 
has a final maturity date of April 22, 2020.  At December 31, 2016, the Company had unused credit of $884 
million available under the Amended Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding 
under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2016 was 2.39%.

The Amended Agreement contains various covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain 

exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur certain liens, make certain investments, become liable under 
contingent obligations in certain defined instances only, make restricted payments, make certain asset sales 
within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, participate in sale and leaseback financing 
arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain subordinated debt obligations.

The Amended Agreement also contains one financial covenant, a Total Leverage Ratio, that requires the 
Company not to exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, 
by consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Amended Agreement. The Total Leverage Ratio could restrict the 
ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or 
acquisitions would cause the Total Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum of (i) 4.5x for the four 
fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, and (ii) 
4.0x for the fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. 

Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the 
Amended Agreement.  In such an event, the Company would be unable to request borrowings under the 
revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Amended Agreement, together with accrued interest, 
could then be declared immediately due and payable.  If an event of default occurs under the Amended 
Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Amended Agreement to 
become due and payable, this would result in a default under a number of other outstanding debt securities 
and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities.  As of December 31, 2016, the 
Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Amended Agreement.  In addition, the 
Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Amended 
Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

The interest rates on borrowings under the Amended Agreement are, at the Company’s option, the Base 

Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus an applicable margin.  The 
applicable margin for the term loan A facility and the revolving credit facility is linked to the Company’s Total 
Leverage Ratio and ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 0.75% for 
Base Rate loans.  In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 
0.20% to 0.30% per annum linked to the Total Leverage Ratio.

Borrowings under the Amended Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real 
estate and certain other excluded assets, of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity investments in certain 
of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign borrowings, of stock of certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  All borrowings under the Amended Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of 
the Company.

Also, in connection with the Vitro Acquisition, during August 2015, the Company issued senior notes 
with a face value of $700 million that bear interest at 5.875% and are due August 15, 2023 (the “Senior Notes 
due 2023”) and senior notes with a face value of $300 million that bear interest at 6.375% and are due August 
15, 2025 (together with the Senior Notes due 2023, the “2015 Senior Notes”).  The 2015 Senior Notes were 
issued via a private placement and are guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The 
net proceeds from the 2015 Senior Notes, after deducting the debt discount and debt issuance costs, totaled 
approximately $972 million and were used to finance, in part, the Vitro Acquisition.

During November 2016, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €500 million that bear 
interest at 3.125% and are due November 15, 2024.  The notes were issued via a private placement and are 
guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The net proceeds, after deducting the debt 
discount and debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $520 million and were used to repay the term loan B 
facility under the Amended Agreement.

Certain litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims 
incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve 
compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief.  The Company records a 
liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the 
liability can be reasonably estimated.  Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the 
factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and 
other events. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in respect to this pending litigation 
cannot reasonably be estimated.  However, the Company believes, based on its examination and review of such 
matters and experience to date, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on its results 
of operations or financial condition.

In 2016, the Company evaluated the future estimated earnings and cash flow of an equity investment 
and determined that it was other-than-temporarily impaired. As such, the Company recorded an impairment 
charge of $25 million to reduce its carrying value down to its estimated fair value. The Company classified 
the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as Level 3 in the fair value 
hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

In 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $69 million resulting from a non-income tax assessment from a 

foreign tax authority.

On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the Vitro Acquisition in a cash transaction valued at 
approximately $2.297 billion in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments.  
The Vitro Business in Mexico is the largest supplier of glass containers in that country manufacturing glass 
containers across multiple end uses, including food, soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits. The Vitro Acquisition 
included five food and beverage glass container plants in Mexico, a plant in Bolivia and a North American 
distribution business, and provided the Company with a competitive position in the glass packaging market 
in Mexico.  The results of the Vitro Business have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements since September 1, 2015 and contributed approximately $608 million of incremental net sales and 
$122 million of incremental segment operating profit in the year ended December 31, 2016.  Vitro’s food 
and beverage glass container operations in Mexico and Bolivia are included in the Latin American operating 
segment while its distribution business is included in the North American operating segment.

The Company financed the Vitro Acquisition with the proceeds from a senior notes offering, cash on hand 

and the incremental term loan facilities (see Note 11).

The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based 
upon their respective fair values.  The purchase agreement contained customary provisions for working capital 
adjustments, which the Company resolved with the seller in the first quarter of 2016.  The Company completed 
the purchase price allocation process in the third quarter of 2016.  The following table summarizes the fair value 
of the assets and liabilities assumed on September 1, 2015 and subsequent adjustments identified through the 
purchase price allocation process and recorded through the measurement period:

The fair value of the tangible assets was estimated utilizing income and market approaches, considering 
remaining useful life. The customer list intangible asset includes the Company’s established relationships with 
its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. The value 
assigned to customer list intangibles is based on the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset 
group after recognition of required returns to other contributory assets. 

Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible 

assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Vitro Acquisition goodwill is not deductible for 
tax purposes.

The balance sheet adjustments identified above did not result in any significant adjustments to the periods’ 

income statements.

On April 4, 2016, the annulment committee formed by the World Bank’s International Centre for 
Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) ruled that a subsidiary of the Company is free to pursue the 
enforcement of a prior arbitration award against Venezuela. That award amounts to more than $485 million 
after including interest from the date of the expropriation by Venezuela (October 26, 2010).  Venezuela’s 
application to annul the award is still pending, although the annulment proceedings were suspended in October 
2016 because Venezuela has not paid its fees owed to ICSID.  If the proceeding is stayed for non-payment 
for a consecutive period in excess of six months, ICSID’s Secretary General could move that the committee 
discontinue the annulment proceeding altogether.  The Company intends to take appropriate steps to vigorously 
enforce and collect the award, which is enforceable in approximately 150 member states that are party to the 
ICSID Convention. However, even with the lifting of the stay of enforcement, the Company recognizes that the 
collection of the award may present significant practical challenges. Because the award has yet to be satisfied 
and the annulment proceeding is pending, the Company is unable at this stage to reasonably predict the efforts 
that will be necessary to successfully enforce collection of the award, the amount of the award or the timing of 
any such collection efforts. Therefore, the Company has not recognized this award in its financial statements. 

The loss from discontinued operations of $7 million, $4 million and $4 million, for the years ended 
December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, relates to ongoing costs for the Venezuelan expropriation.

Charges for administrative services are allocated to the Company by OI Inc. based on an annual utilization 

level. Such services include compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, use of certain general 
accounting systems, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, and treasury services.

Allocated costs also include charges associated with OI Inc.’s equity compensation plans. A substantial 
number of the options, restricted share units and performance vested restricted share units granted under these 
plans have been granted to key employees of another subsidiary of OI Inc., some of whose compensation costs, 
including stock-based compensation, are included in an allocation of costs to all operating subsidiaries of 
OI Inc., including the Company.

Management believes that such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company than those that 

could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Share Owner of 
Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Owens-Brockway Glass Container, 
Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of results of 
operations, comprehensive income, share owner’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 2016. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 

Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable 
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to 
perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration 
of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the 
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal 
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, 
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the 
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial 
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of Owens-Brockway Glass Container, Inc. at December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 
December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

recorded over the estimated useful life of the asset.  Factory machinery and equipment is depreciated over 
periods ranging from 5 to 25 years with the majority of such assets (principally glass-melting furnaces and 
forming machines) depreciated over 7 to 15 years.  Buildings and building equipment are depreciated over 
periods ranging from 10 to 50 years. Depreciation expense directly attributed to the manufacturing of the 
Company’s products is included in cost of goods sold.  Depreciation expense related to non-manufacturing 
activities is included in selling and administrative. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of assets 
recorded under capital leases.  Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.  Costs assigned to PP&E of 
acquired businesses are based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  The Company evaluates the 
recoverability of PP&E based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors

Derivative financial instruments are included on the balance sheet at fair value.  When appropriate, derivative 
instruments are designated as and are effective as hedges, in accordance with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States.  If the underlying hedged transaction ceases to exist, all changes in fair value of 
the related derivatives that have not been settled are recognized in current earnings.  The Company does not 
enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes and is not a party to leveraged derivatives. Cash 
flows from forward exchange contracts not designated as hedges are classified as an investing activity.  Cash 
flows of commodity forward contracts are classified as operating activities.

paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly 
transaction between market participants.  Generally accepted accounting principles defines a three-tier fair value 
hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:  Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or 

indirectly; and

Level 3:  Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to 

develop assumptions.

The carrying amounts reported for cash and short-term loans approximate fair value.  In addition, carrying 

amounts approximate fair value for certain long-term debt obligations subject to frequently redetermined 
interest rates.  Fair values for the Company’s significant fixed rate debt obligations are generally based on 
published market quotations.

The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities consist of natural gas forwards and foreign exchange 
option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to valuing these contracts.  Natural gas 
forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These inputs 
are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, the 
Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also evaluates 
counterparty risk in determining fair values.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 

(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers,” which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for 
the transfer of promised goods or services to customers.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, 
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which delayed by one year the effective date of the new revenue 
recognition standard, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company has started an 
implementation process, including a review of customer contracts, to evaluate the effect this standard will have 
on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.  At this time, the Company does not expect that 
the implementation of this standard in 2018 will have a significant impact on the timing in which it recognizes 
revenue.  While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, the Company does 
not currently expect the adoption of the new standard to have a material impact on consolidated net income or 
the consolidated balance sheet. The Company plans to select the modified retrospective transition method upon 
adoption effective January 1, 2018.

Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. Under this guidance, lessees 
will be required to recognize on the balance sheet a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for all leases, with 
the exception of short-term leases. The lease liability represents the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments 
arising from a lease, and will be measured as the present value of the lease payments. The right-of-use asset 
represents the lessee’s right to use a specified asset for the lease term, and will be measured at the lease 
liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayment, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs. 
The standard also requires a lessee to recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term, generally on 
a straight-line basis. The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. ASU No. 2016-02 is 
required to be applied using the modified retrospective approach for all leases existing as of the effective date 
and provides for certain practical expedients. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating 
the effects that the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, 
and anticipates the new guidance will significantly impact its consolidated financial statements as the Company 
has a significant number of leases. As further described in Note 15, Operating Leases, as of December 31, 2016, 
the Company had minimum lease commitments under non-cancellable operating leases totaling $205 million.

Credit Losses - In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses 
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This guidance requires the measurement 
of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience,

current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures 
regarding significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses. The new guidance is effective 
for the Company on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within 
those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the 
adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Stock Compensation - In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee 
Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as 
income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, excess tax benefits should be classified 
along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Application of 
the standard is required for the Company on January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect a significant impact 
in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension Asset Value - In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement 

(Topic 820): Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or 
Its Equivalent).” Under the new guidance, investments measured at net asset value (“NAV”), as a practical 
expedient for fair value, are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. Removing investments measured using the 
practical expedient from the fair value hierarchy is intended to eliminate the diversity in practice that currently 
exists with respect to the categorization of these investments. The new guidance is effective for the Company 
on January 1, 2016. The guidance impacted the presentation of certain pension related assets that use NAV as a 
practical expedient. See Note 9 for additional information.

participates in the equity compensation plans of OI Inc. under which employees of the Company may be 
granted options to purchase common shares of OI Inc., restricted common shares of OI Inc., or restricted share 
units of OI Inc.

Stock Options

In general, subject to change in control, options become exercisable 25% per year beginning on the first 
anniversary of grant. No options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted.  

In general, options expire following termination of employment or the seventh anniversary of the option 

grant. The fair value of options is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

Shares granted after March 21, 2005 and prior to 2011, vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary 
and unvested shares are forfeited upon termination of employment.  Restricted share units granted to employees 
after 2010 vest 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary.  Holders of vested restricted share units receive 
one share of the Company’s common stock for each unit as units vest.  Granted but unvested restricted share 
units are forfeited upon termination, unless certain retirement criteria are met. Restricted share units granted to 
directors vest after one year.

The fair value of the restricted shares and restricted share units is equal to the market price of the 

Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.  The fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units 
is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Performance Vested Restricted Share Units

Performance vested restricted share units vest on January 1 of the third year following the year in which 
they are granted. Holders of vested units may receive up to two shares of OI Inc.’s common stock for each unit, 
depending upon the attainment of consolidated performance goals established by the Compensation Committee 
of OI Inc.’s Board of Directors. If minimum goals are not met, no shares will be issued. Granted but unvested 
restricted share units are forfeited upon termination of employment, unless certain retirement criteria are met.

The fair value of each performance vested restricted share unit is equal to the product of the fair value of 
OI Inc.’s common stock on the date of grant and the estimated number of shares into which the performance 
vested restricted share unit will be converted. The fair value of performance vested restricted share units is 
amortized ratably over the vesting period. Should the estimated number of shares into which the performance 
vested restricted share unit will be converted change, an adjustment will be recorded to recognize the 
accumulated difference in amortization between the revised and previous estimates.

As discussed in Note 21, costs incurred under these plans by OI Inc. related to stock-based compensation 
awards granted directly to the Company’s employees are included in the allocable costs charged to the Company 
and other operating subsidiaries of OI Inc. on an intercompany basis.

The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations:  Europe, North America, 
Latin America and Asia Pacific. In connection with the Company’s acquisition (the “Vitro Acquisition”) of 
the food and beverage glass container business of Vitro S.A.B. de C.V. and its subsidiaries as conducted in the 
United States, Mexico and Bolivia (the “Vitro Business”) on September 1, 2015 (see Note 17), the Company 
has renamed the former South America segment to the Latin America segment. These four segments are aligned 
with the Company’s internal approach to managing, reporting, and evaluating performance of its global glass 
operations.  Certain assets and activities not directly related to one of the regions or to glass manufacturing 
are reported with Retained corporate costs and other.  These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, 
global engineering, and certain equity investments.  Retained corporate costs and other also includes certain 
headquarters administrative and facilities costs and certain incentive compensation and other benefit plan costs 
that are global in nature and are not allocable to the reportable segments.

The Company’s measure of profit for its reportable segments is segment operating profit, which consists 

of consolidated earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, and provision 
for income taxes and excludes amounts related to certain items that management considers not representative 
of ongoing operations as well as certain retained corporate costs.  The Company’s management uses segment 
operating profit, in combination with selected cash flow information, to evaluate performance and to allocate 
resources.  Segment operating profit for reportable segments includes an allocation of some corporate expenses 
based on both a percentage of sales and direct billings based on the costs of specific services provided.

2014

Based on an evaluation of each of the Company’s equity investments for the three years ending December 
31, 2016, no investments exceeded the significant subsidiary thresholds per Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X.  As 
such, separate financial statements for the Company’s equity investments are not required to be filed.

The Company made purchases of approximately $176 million and $161 million from equity affiliates in 

2016 and 2015, respectively, and owed approximately $76 million and $66 million to equity affiliates as of 
December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

There is a difference of approximately $12 million as of December 31, 2016, between the amount at which 
certain investments are carried and the amount of underlying equity in net assets.  The portion of the difference 
related to inventory or amortizable assets is amortized as a reduction of the equity earnings.  The remaining 
difference is considered goodwill.

The acquisition related adjustments in 2016 and 2015 primarily relate to the Vitro Acquisition (see Note 17). 

Goodwill for the Asia Pacific segment is $0 and net of accumulated impairment losses of $1,135 million as 

of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1 (or more frequently if impairment indicators 

arise) using a two-step process.  Step 1 compares the business enterprise value (“BEV”) of each reporting unit 
with its carrying value. The BEV is computed based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at the weighted 
average cost of capital of a hypothetical third-party buyer. If the BEV is less than the carrying value for any 
reporting unit, then Step 2 must be performed.  Step 2 compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the

carrying amount of goodwill.  Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value will 
be recorded as an impairment loss.  The calculations of the BEV in Step 1 and the implied fair value of goodwill 
in Step 2 are based on significant unobservable inputs, such as price trends, customer demand, material costs, 
discount rates and asset replacement costs, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined 

that no impairment existed.

Intangible assets

On September 1, 2015, the Company acquired customer list intangibles as part of the Vitro Acquisition (see 

Note 17). 

Customer list intangible assets are amortized using the accelerated amortization method over their 20 
year lives. Net intangible asset values were $464 million and $597 million for the years ended December 31, 
2016 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $39 million, $21 million and $1 
million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Estimated amortization related to 
intangible assets through 2021 is as follows: 2017, $44 million; 2018, $44 million; 2019, $42 million; 2020, $41 
million; and 2021, $39 million. No impairment existed on these assets at December 31, 2016.

The Company has determined that the fair value measurements related to the customer list intangibles are 

based on significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Capitalized software includes costs related to the acquisition and development of internal-use software. 

These costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. Amortization expense for capitalized 
software was $6 million, $9 million and $8 million for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Estimated 
amortization related to capitalized software through 2021 is as follows: 2017, $6 million; 2018, $6 million; 
2019, $5 million; 2020, $5 million; and 2021, $4 million.

The Company has certain derivative assets and liabilities which consist of natural gas forwards and foreign 

exchange option and forward contracts.  The Company uses an income approach to value these contracts.  
Natural gas forward rates and foreign exchange rates are the significant inputs into the valuation models.  These 
inputs are observable in active markets over the terms of the instruments the Company holds, and accordingly, 
the Company classifies its derivative assets and liabilities as Level 2 in the hierarchy.  The Company also 
evaluates counterparty risk in determining fair values.

Commodity Forward Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

In North America, the Company enters into commodity forward contracts related to forecasted natural gas 
requirements, the objectives of which are to limit the effects of fluctuations in the future market price paid for 
natural gas and the related volatility in cash flows. The Company continually evaluates the natural gas market 
and related price risk and periodically enters into commodity forward contracts in order to hedge a portion of its 
usage requirements. The majority of the sales volume in North America is tied to customer contracts that contain 
provisions that pass the price of natural gas to the customer.  In certain of these contracts, the customer has the 
option of fixing the natural gas price component for a specified period of time.  At December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
the Company had entered into commodity forward contracts covering approximately 12,300,000 MM BTUs and 
7,300,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

The Company accounts for the above forward contracts as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2016 
and recognizes them on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of 
a derivative that is designated as, and meets the required criteria for, a cash flow hedge is recorded in the 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income component of share owners’ equity (“OCI”) and reclassified 
into earnings in the same period or periods during which the underlying hedged item affects earnings. An 
unrecognized gain of $6 million at December 31, 2016 and an unrecognized loss of $4 million at December 31, 
2015 related to the commodity forward contracts were included in Accumulated OCI, and will be reclassified 
into earnings over the next twelve to twenty-four months.  Any material portion of the change in the fair 
value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is deemed to be ineffective is recognized in current 
earnings.  The ineffectiveness related to these natural gas hedges for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 
2015 was not material.

The effect of the commodity forward contracts on the results of operations for the years ended 

December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

Foreign Exchange Derivative Contracts and not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company may enter into short-term forward exchange or option agreements to purchase foreign 
currencies at set rates in the future. These agreements are used to limit exposure to fluctuations in foreign 
currency exchange rates for significant planned purchases of fixed assets or commodities that are denominated 
in currencies other than the subsidiaries’ functional currency. The Company may also use forward exchange

payables and loans, not denominated in, or indexed to, their functional currencies. The Company records these 
short-term forward exchange agreements on the balance sheet at fair value and changes in the fair value are 
recognized in current earnings.

At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had outstanding forward exchange and option agreements 

denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $490 million and $790 million, 
respectively, related primarily to intercompany transactions and loans.

The Company continually reviews its manufacturing footprint and operating cost structure and may 

decide to close operations or reduce headcount to gain efficiencies, integrate acquired operations, reduce future 
expenses and other market factors.  The Company incurs costs associated with these actions including employee 
severance and benefits, other exit costs such as those related to contract terminations, and asset impairment 
charges.  The Company also may incur other costs related to closed facilities including environmental 
remediation, clean up, dismantling and preparation for sale or other disposition.

The Company accounts for restructuring and other costs under applicable provisions of generally accepted 

accounting principles.  Charges for employee severance and related benefits are generally accrued based on 
contractual arrangements with employees or their representatives.  Other exit costs are accrued based on the 
estimated cost to settle related contractual arrangements.  Estimated environmental remediation costs are 
accrued when specific claims have been received or are probable of being received.

The Company’s decisions to curtail selected production capacity have resulted in write downs of certain 
long-lived assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value or fair value less cost to sell.  The 
Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as Level 
3 in the fair value hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

When a decision is made to take these actions, the Company manages and accounts for them 

programmatically apart from the on-going operations of the business.  Information related to major programs 
(as in the case of the European Asset Optimization and Asia Pacific Restructuring programs below) are 
presented separately.  Minor initiatives are presented on a combined basis as Other Restructuring Actions. These 
restructuring initiatives taken by the Company are not related to the European Asset Optimization program or 
the Asia Pacific restructuring plan.  When charges related to major programs are completed, remaining accrual 
balances are classified with Other Restructuring Actions.

European Asset Optimization

In 2011, the Company initiated the European Asset Optimization program to increase the efficiency and 

capability of its European operations and to better align its European manufacturing footprint with market and 
customer needs.  This program involved making additional investments in certain facilities and addressing 
assets with higher cost structures.  As part of this program, the Company recorded charges of $0, $0, and $1 
million for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively for employee costs, write-down of assets, and 
environmental remediation related to decisions to close furnaces and manufacturing facilities in Europe.  The 
Company recorded total cumulative charges of $127 million and does not expect to execute any further actions 
under this program.

Asia Pacific Restructuring

Since 2011, the Company has implemented a restructuring plan in its Asia Pacific segment, primarily 
related to aligning its supply base with lower demand in the region.  As part of this plan, the Company recorded 
charges of $4 million, $5 million and $73 million for the years ended 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, 
for employee costs, write-down of assets, and pension charges related to furnace closures and additional 
restructuring activities. The Company recorded total cumulative charges of $224 million and does not expect to 
execute any further actions under this program.

Other Restructuring Actions

In 2016, the Company recorded charges of $92 million for other restructuring actions.  These charges 
primarily represented employee costs, write-down of assets, and other exit costs of $64 million for a plant 
closures in Latin America, Europe and North America and $28 million related to other restructuring actions. The 
Company took certain other restructuring actions and recorded charges in 2015 of $58 million. These charges 
primarily related to employee costs, write-down of assets and other exit costs totaling $14 million for a plant

Pension Benefit Plans

The Company participates in OI Inc.’s defined benefit pension plans for a substantial number of employees 
located in the United States. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length 
of service for hourly employees. OI Inc.’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be 
available to meet future benefit requirements. Independent actuaries determine pension costs for each subsidiary 
of OI Inc. included in the plans; however, accumulated benefit obligation information and plan assets pertaining 
to each subsidiary have not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated benefit obligation and the 
plan assets related to the pension plans for domestic employees have been retained by another subsidiary of 
OI Inc. Net expense to results of operations for the Company’s allocated portion of the domestic pension costs 
amounted to $23 million in 2016, $24 million in 2015 and $19 million in 2014.

OI Inc. also sponsors several defined contribution plans for all salaried and hourly U.S. employees of 

the Company. Participation is voluntary and participants’ contributions are based on their compensation. 
OI Inc. matches contributions of participants, up to various limits, in substantially all plans. OI Inc. charges 
the Company for its share of the match. The Company’s share of the contributions to these plans amounted to 
$32 million in 2016, $27 million in 2015 and $17 million in 2014.

The Company also has defined benefit pension plans covering a substantial number of employees in several 

non-U.S. jurisdictions. Benefits generally are based on compensation for salaried employees and on length of 
service for hourly employees. The Company’s policy is to fund pension plans such that sufficient assets will be 
available to meet future benefit requirements. The Company’s defined benefit pension plans use a December 31 
measurement date.

On October 1, 2014, the Company settled the liability associated with its pension plan in the Netherlands, 
resulting in a settlement charge of approximately $35 million. Non-U.S. pension expense excludes $3 million 
of pension settlement costs that were recorded in restructuring expense in 2014. The table above excludes 
these charges.

Future benefits are assumed to increase in a manner consistent with past experience of the plans, which, 
to the extent benefits are based on compensation, includes assumed salary increases as presented above. For 
2016, the Company’s weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.15% for the non-U.S. 
plans. In developing this assumption, the Company considered its historical 10-year average return (through 
December 31, 2016) and evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset consultants, including their 
review of asset class return expectations

It is the Company’s policy to invest pension plan assets in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array 
of asset classes within established target asset allocation ranges. The investment risk of the assets is limited 
by appropriate diversification both within and between asset classes. The assets of the group trust and the 
Company’s non-U.S. plans are primarily invested in a broad mix of domestic and international equities, domestic 
and international bonds, and real estate, subject to the target asset allocation ranges. The assets are managed with 
a view to ensuring that sufficient liquidity will be available to meet expected cash flow requirements.

The investment valuation policy of the Company is to value investments at fair value. All investments are 
valued at their respective net asset values. Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available 
are valued at the last reported sales price on their principal exchange on valuation date or official close for 
certain markets. Fixed income investments are valued by an independent pricing service. Investments in 
registered investment companies or collective pooled funds are valued at their respective net asset values. 
Short-term investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of real estate 
is determined by periodic appraisals.

In accordance with the Company’s adoption of ASU No. 2015-07 in 2016, certain investments measured 

at net asset value (“NAV”), as a practical expedient for fair value, have been excluded from the fair value 
hierarchy. The fair value measurements tables presented below have been amended to conform to the current 
year presentation under ASU No. 2015-07. See Note 1 for more information.

In 2016, the non-U.S. plan assets consisted of approximately 41% equity securities, 42% debt securities, 

and 17% real estate and other. The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the 
Company’s non-U.S. pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

The net increase (decrease) in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 pension plan assets is primarily due 
to purchases and sales of unlisted real estate funds. The change in the fair value of Level 3 pension plan assets 
due to actual return on those assets was immaterial in 2016.

In order to maintain minimum funding requirements, the Company is required to make contributions to its 

non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans of approximately $24 million in 2017.

expected to be paid in the years indicated:

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

OI Inc. provides retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering certain U.S. salaried and hourly 

employees. Benefits provided by the Company for hourly retirees are determined by collective bargaining. 
Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of 
creditable service. OI Inc. uses a December 31 measurement date to measure its postretirement benefit obligations.

The Company’s net periodic postretirement benefit income, as allocated by OI Inc., for domestic employees 

was $2 million, $2 million, and $1 million at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company also has postretirement benefit plans covering substantially all employees in Canada. The 

following tables relate to the Company’s postretirement benefit plans in Canada.

The Company reviews the likelihood that it will realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets and therefore 

the need for valuation allowances on a quarterly basis, or whenever events indicate that a review is required. In 
determining the requirement for a valuation allowance, the historical and projected financial results of the legal 
entity or consolidated group recording the net deferred tax asset is considered, along with other positive and 
negative evidence.

In certain foreign jurisdictions, the Company’s analysis indicates that it has cumulative losses in recent 
years. This is considered significant negative evidence which is objective and verifiable and, therefore, difficult 
to overcome. However, the cumulative loss position is not solely determinative and, accordingly, the Company 
considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. Based on its analysis, the Company 
has recorded a valuation allowance for the portion of deferred tax assets where based on the weight of available 
evidence it is unlikely to realize those deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2016, before valuation allowance, the Company had unused foreign tax credits of 

$414 million expiring in 2017 through 2026, and research tax credit of $14 million expiring from 2019 to 
2036, which will be available to offset future income tax. Approximately $151 million of the deferred tax 
assets related to operating and capital loss carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely, with the remaining 
$129 million expiring between 2017 and 2036.

At December 31, 2016, the Company’s equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for 
which income taxes had not been provided approximated $2.2 billion. The Company intends to reinvest these 
earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the U.S. and foreign tax which 
would be payable should these earnings be distributed. Deferred taxes are provided for earnings of non-U.S. 
jurisdictions when the Company plans to remit those earnings.

The Company is included in OI Inc.’s consolidated tax returns for U.S. federal and certain state income 
tax purposes. The consolidated group has net operating losses, capital losses, alternative minimum tax credits, 
foreign tax credits and research and development credits available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. 
Income taxes are allocated to the Company on a basis consistent with separate returns.

The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The 
Company accrues interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as a component of its income 
tax expense. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the 
years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014:

Based upon the outcome of tax examinations, judicial proceedings, or expiration of statute of limitations, 

it is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these unrecognized tax benefits may result in a payment 
that is materially different from the current estimate of the tax liabilities. The Company believes that it is 
reasonably possible that the estimated liability could decrease up to $11 million within the next 12 months. This 
is primarily the result of audit settlements or statute expirations in several taxing jurisdictions.

The Company is currently under examination in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates, including 

Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, China, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Indonesia, and Italy. The 
years under examination range from 2006 through 2014. The Company has received tax assessments in excess 
of established reserves. The Company believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have 
been made. However, if tax assessments are settled against the Company at amounts in excess of established 
reserves, it could have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash 
flows. During 2016, the Company concluded income tax audits in several jurisdictions, including the Czech 
Republic, Germany, Italy, and Hungary.

On April 22, 2015, the Company entered into a Senior Secured Credit Facility, which subsequently has 

been amended several times with the most recent amendment being entered into on February 3, 2016 (the 
“Amended Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the Vitro Acquisition on September 1, 2015 (see 
Note 17), the Company incurred $1,250 million of senior secured incremental term loan facilities, comprised of 
(i) a $675 million term loan A facility on substantially the same terms and conditions (including as to maturity) 
as the term loan A facility in the Amended Agreement and (ii) a $575 million term loan B facility, which was 
subsequently repaid in full in November 2016 as described below.

At December 31, 2016, the Amended Agreement includes a $300 million revolving credit facility, a $600 

million multicurrency revolving credit facility, a $1,575 million term loan A facility ($1,395 million net of debt 
issuance costs), and a €279 million term loan A facility ($282 million net of debt issuance costs), each of which 
has a final maturity date of April 22, 2020.  At December 31, 2016, the Company had unused credit of $884 
million available under the Amended Agreement. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding 
under the Amended Agreement at December 31, 2016 was 2.39%.

The Amended Agreement contains various covenants that restrict, among other things and subject to certain 

exceptions, the ability of the Company to incur certain liens, make certain investments, become liable under 
contingent obligations in certain defined instances only, make restricted payments, make certain asset sales 
within guidelines and limits, engage in certain affiliate transactions, participate in sale and leaseback financing 
arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain subordinated debt obligations.

The Amended Agreement also contains one financial covenant, a Total Leverage Ratio, that requires the 
Company not to exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, 
by consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Amended Agreement. The Total Leverage Ratio could restrict the 
ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or 
acquisitions would cause the Total Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum of (i) 4.5x for the four 
fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2016, March 31, 2017, June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2017, and (ii) 
4.0x for the fourth fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2017 and each fiscal quarter thereafter. 

Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the 
Amended Agreement.  In such an event, the Company would be unable to request borrowings under the 
revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Amended Agreement, together with accrued interest, 
could then be declared immediately due and payable.  If an event of default occurs under the Amended 
Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the Amended Agreement to 
become due and payable, this would result in a default under a number of other outstanding debt securities 
and could lead to an acceleration of obligations related to these debt securities.  As of December 31, 2016, the 
Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Amended Agreement.  In addition, the 
Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Amended 
Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

The interest rates on borrowings under the Amended Agreement are, at the Company’s option, the Base 

Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Amended Agreement, plus an applicable margin.  The 
applicable margin for the term loan A facility and the revolving credit facility is linked to the Company’s Total 
Leverage Ratio and ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 0.75% for 
Base Rate loans.  In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 
0.20% to 0.30% per annum linked to the Total Leverage Ratio.

Borrowings under the Amended Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real 
estate and certain other excluded assets, of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity investments in certain 
of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and, in the case of foreign borrowings, of stock of certain foreign 
subsidiaries.  All borrowings under the Amended Agreement are guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of 
the Company.

Also, in connection with the Vitro Acquisition, during August 2015, the Company issued senior notes 
with a face value of $700 million that bear interest at 5.875% and are due August 15, 2023 (the “Senior Notes 
due 2023”) and senior notes with a face value of $300 million that bear interest at 6.375% and are due August 
15, 2025 (together with the Senior Notes due 2023, the “2015 Senior Notes”).  The 2015 Senior Notes were 
issued via a private placement and are guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The 
net proceeds from the 2015 Senior Notes, after deducting the debt discount and debt issuance costs, totaled 
approximately $972 million and were used to finance, in part, the Vitro Acquisition.

During November 2016, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €500 million that bear 
interest at 3.125% and are due November 15, 2024.  The notes were issued via a private placement and are 
guaranteed by certain of the Company‘s domestic subsidiaries.  The net proceeds, after deducting the debt 
discount and debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $520 million and were used to repay the term loan B 
facility under the Amended Agreement.

Certain litigation is pending against the Company, in many cases involving ordinary and routine claims 
incidental to the business of the Company and in others presenting allegations that are nonroutine and involve 
compensatory, punitive or treble damage claims as well as other types of relief.  The Company records a 
liability for such matters when it is both probable that the liability has been incurred and the amount of the 
liability can be reasonably estimated.  Recorded amounts are reviewed and adjusted to reflect changes in the 
factors upon which the estimates are based including additional information, negotiations, settlements, and 
other events. The ultimate legal and financial liability of the Company in respect to this pending litigation 
cannot reasonably be estimated.  However, the Company believes, based on its examination and review of such 
matters and experience to date, that such ultimate liability will not have a material adverse effect on its results 
of operations or financial condition.

The Company’s joint venture in China had been involved in litigation with its partner regarding whether 

the joint venture should be dissolved. Following an ownership change in 2016 with respect to the joint venture 
partner, this litigation has been withdrawn.

derivative instruments; (c) pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments; and (d) foreign currency 
translation adjustments. The net effect of exchange rate fluctuations generally reflects changes in the relative 
strength of the U.S. dollar against major foreign currencies between the beginning and end of the year.

In 2016, the Company evaluated the future estimated earnings and cash flow of an equity investment 
and determined that it was other-than-temporarily impaired. As such, the Company recorded an impairment 
charge of $25 million to reduce its carrying value down to its estimated fair value. The Company classified 
the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets as Level 3 in the fair value 
hierarchy as set forth in the general accounting principles for fair value measurements.

In 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $69 million resulting from a non-income tax assessment from a 

foreign tax authority.

The Company uses various factoring programs to sell certain receivables to financial institutions as part 

of managing its cash flows. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the amount of receivables sold by the Company 
was $318 million and $317 million, respectively. Any continuing involvement with the sold receivables 
is immaterial.

On September 1, 2015, the Company completed the Vitro Acquisition in a cash transaction valued at 
approximately $2.297 billion in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment and certain other adjustments.  
The Vitro Business in Mexico is the largest supplier of glass containers in that country manufacturing glass 
containers across multiple end uses, including food, soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits. The Vitro Acquisition 
included five food and beverage glass container plants in Mexico, a plant in Bolivia and a North American 
distribution business, and provided the Company with a competitive position in the glass packaging market 
in Mexico.  The results of the Vitro Business have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial 
statements since September 1, 2015 and contributed approximately $608 million of incremental net sales and 
$122 million of incremental segment operating profit in the year ended December 31, 2016.  Vitro’s food 
and beverage glass container operations in Mexico and Bolivia are included in the Latin American operating 
segment while its distribution business is included in the North American operating segment.

The Company financed the Vitro Acquisition with the proceeds from a senior notes offering, cash on hand 

and the incremental term loan facilities (see Note 11).

The total purchase price was allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based 
upon their respective fair values.  The purchase agreement contained customary provisions for working capital 
adjustments, which the Company resolved with the seller in the first quarter of 2016.  The Company completed 
the purchase price allocation process in the third quarter of 2016.  The following table summarizes the fair value 
of the assets and liabilities assumed on September 1, 2015 and subsequent adjustments identified through the 
purchase price allocation process and recorded through the measurement period:

The fair value of the tangible assets was estimated utilizing income and market approaches, considering 
remaining useful life. The customer list intangible asset includes the Company’s established relationships with 
its customers and the ability of these customers to generate future economic profits for the Company. The value 
assigned to customer list intangibles is based on the present value of future earnings attributable to the asset 
group after recognition of required returns to other contributory assets. 

Recognized goodwill is attributable to the assembled workforce, expected synergies and other intangible 

assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. The Vitro Acquisition goodwill is not deductible for 
tax purposes.

The balance sheet adjustments identified above did not result in any significant adjustments to the periods’ 

income statements.

On April 4, 2016, the annulment committee formed by the World Bank’s International Centre for 
Settlement of Investment Disputes (“ICSID”) ruled that a subsidiary of the Company is free to pursue the 
enforcement of a prior arbitration award against Venezuela. That award amounts to more than $485 million 
after including interest from the date of the expropriation by Venezuela (October 26, 2010).  Venezuela’s 
application to annul the award is still pending, although the annulment proceedings were suspended in October 
2016 because Venezuela has not paid its fees owed to ICSID.  If the proceeding is stayed for non-payment 
for a consecutive period in excess of six months, ICSID’s Secretary General could move that the committee 
discontinue the annulment proceeding altogether.  The Company intends to take appropriate steps to vigorously 
enforce and collect the award, which is enforceable in approximately 150 member states that are party to the 
ICSID Convention. However, even with the lifting of the stay of enforcement, the Company recognizes that the 
collection of the award may present significant practical challenges. Because the award has yet to be satisfied 
and the annulment proceeding is pending, the Company is unable at this stage to reasonably predict the efforts 
that will be necessary to successfully enforce collection of the award, the amount of the award or the timing of 
any such collection efforts. Therefore, the Company has not recognized this award in its financial statements. 

The loss from discontinued operations of $7 million, $4 million and $4 million, for the years ended 
December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, relates to ongoing costs for the Venezuelan expropriation.

Charges for administrative services are allocated to the Company by OI Inc. based on an annual utilization 

level. Such services include compensation and benefits administration, payroll processing, use of certain general 
accounting systems, auditing, income tax planning and compliance, and treasury services.

Allocated costs also include charges associated with OI Inc.’s equity compensation plans. A substantial 
number of the options, restricted share units and performance vested restricted share units granted under these 
plans have been granted to key employees of another subsidiary of OI Inc., some of whose compensation costs, 
including stock-based compensation, are included in an allocation of costs to all operating subsidiaries of 
OI Inc., including the Company.

Management believes that such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company than those that 

could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
