• Provision charged to operations included $2,405 million and gross write-offs included $2,859 million related to the effects of the 2015 reclassification of non-U.S. consumer financing receivables to financing receivables held for sale recorded at the lower of cost or fair value, less cost to sell.
• Other primarily includes the reclassification of financing receivables to assets of businesses held for sale and the effects of currency exchange.
• Net write-offs (gross write-offs less recoveries) in certain portfolios may exceed the beginning allowance for losses as a result of losses that are incurred subsequent to the beginning of the fiscal year due to information becoming available during the current year, which may identify further deterioration on existing financing receivables.
