(a)

Certain items are items that management does not consider representative of operating segment results and they are, therefore, excluded from Segment EBIT. Certain items, pre-tax for fiscal 2016 include $47 million related to global restructuring activities (Refer to Note P), $11 million related to foreign currency loss on revaluations, $17 million related to legal and environmental matters and reserves, and $6 million related to executive transition costs. Certain items, pre-tax, for fiscal 2015 include $562 million related to goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges for the Purification Solutions business (refer to Note G), $21 million related to global restructuring activities, $5 million for acquisition and integration-related charges, $21 million related to employee benefit plan settlement and other charges, and $2 million related to foreign currency loss on revaluations, and $6 million related to an inventory reserve adjustment. Certain items, pre-tax, for fiscal 2014 primarily include $29 million related to global restructuring activities, $7 million for acquisition and integration-related charges, $18 million for legal and environmental matters and reserves and $3 million of certain foreign currency gains recorded by foreign subsidiaries offset by a $29 million non-cash gain recognized on the Company’s pre-existing investment in NHUMO as a result of the NHUMO transaction.   

(b)

Equity in earnings of affiliated companies, net of tax is included in Segment EBIT and is removed from Unallocated and other to reconcile to income (loss) from operations before taxes.

(c)

Unallocated corporate costs are not controlled by the segments and primarily benefit corporate interests.

(d)

General unallocated expense consists of gains (losses) arising from foreign currency transactions, net of other foreign currency risk management activities, the impact of accounting for certain inventory on a LIFO basis, the profit or loss related to the corporate adjustment for unearned revenue, and the impact of including the full operating results of an equity affiliate in Purification Solutions Segment EBIT.

(4)

Unallocated and Other assets includes cash, marketable securities, cost investments, income taxes receivable, deferred taxes, headquarters’ assets, and current and non-current assets held for sale.

(5)

Expenditures for additions to long-lived assets include total equity and other investments (including available-for-sale securities) and property, plant and equipment.
