NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed financial statements.
Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The first quarters of 20152016 and 20142015 ended on April 3 and March 29, and March 30, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.
The preparationPreparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in theour Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in theseCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, warranty programs, determination of discount rates and other rate assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit expenses,costs, warranty programs, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classificationsclassification, contingencies and contingencies.restructuring costs. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.
The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three month periodsmonths ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015, and March 30, 2014, were as follows:

These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.2015. Our interim period financial results for the three month interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

On February 9, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a third party financial institution to repurchase $500 million of our common stock under our previously announced share repurchase plans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid the full $500 million purchase price and received approximately 4.1 million shares at a price of $98.43 per share, representing approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be repurchased. The unsettled portion of the ASR meets the criteria to be accounted for as a forward contract indexed to our stock and qualifies as an equity transaction. This resulted in a $100 million reduction to additional paid-in capital during the quarter. The final number of shares to be


repurchased will be based on our volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the transaction, less a discount. The ASR is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2016.

The initial delivery of shares resulted in a reduction to our common stock outstanding used to calculate earnings per share in the first quarter of 2016.

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 29.528.5 percent,, excluding any one-time items that may arise. The expected tax rate does not include the benefits of the research tax credit, which expired December 31, 2014 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. If the research credit is reinstated during 2015, we would anticipate the 2015 effective tax rate to be reduced to 28.5 percent. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income. income and the research tax credit.

TheOur effective tax rate for the three month periodmonths ended April 3, 2016, was 28.4 percent and did not include any discrete items.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2015,, was 26.3 percent.percent. This tax rate included an $18 million discrete tax benefit to reflect the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to a favorable federal audit settlement.
OurThe increase in the effective tax rate for the three monthmonths ended April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period ended March 30, 2014,in 2015 was29.9 percent. This tax rate included a $12 million discrete tax expense attributable primarily to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $5 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.
The decrease in the three month effective tax rate from 2014 to 2015 is primarily due to the 2015 favorable discrete tax item.benefit in 2015, partially offset by the research tax credit recognized in the first quarter of 2016 and favorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax income.

It is reasonably possible that our existing liabilities for uncertain tax benefits may decrease in an amount ranging from $40 million to $90 million within the next 12 months for U.S. and non-U.S. audits that are in progress.

(1) The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated primarily using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing services.services, or net asset values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the first three months of 20152016 and 2014.2015.
A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our Level 2 fair value measures was as follows:
Bank debentures— These investments provide us with a contractual rate of return and generally range in maturity from three months to one year. The counter-parties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions’ month-end statement.
Debt mutual funds— The fair value measure for these investments is the daily net asset value published on a regulated governmental website. Daily quoted prices are available from the issuing brokerage and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input.
Money market funds— These investments in short-term debt instruments have a weighted average maturity of less than one year. The counter-parties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by us with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions' month-end statement.
Equity mutual funds— The fair value measure for these investments is the net asset value published by the issuing brokerage. Daily quoted prices are available from reputable third party pricing services and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input measure.
Government debt securities-non-U.S.— The fair value measure for these securities are broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national stock exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our Level 2 input measure.

The proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and gross realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were as follows:

(2)Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practical to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(3) In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized us to issue up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program will facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.
Loss Contingency
Engines systems sold in the U.S. Distributor Commitments
Our distribution agreementsmust be certified to comply with independentthe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and partially-owned distributors generally have a renewablethree-year termCalifornia Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards. EPA and CARB regulations require that in-use testing be performed on vehicles by the emission certificate holder and reported to the EPA and CARB in order to ensure ongoing compliance with these emission standards. We are restricted to specified territories. Our distributors develop and maintain a networkthe holder of dealersthis emission certificate for our engines, including engines installed in certain vehicles with one customer on which we have no direct relationship. Our distributors are permitted todid not also manufacture or sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent. We license allthe emission aftertreatment system. During 2015, a quality issue in certain of these third party aftertreatment systems caused some of our distributorsinter-related engines to use our namefail in-use emission testing. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the vehicle manufacturer made a request that we assist in the design and logobear the financial cost of a field campaign (Campaign) to address the technical issue purportedly causing some vehicles to fail the in-use testing.
While we are not responsible for the warranty issues related to a component that we did not manufacture or sell, as the emission compliance certificate holder, we are responsible for proposing a remedy to the EPA and CARB. As a result, we have proposed actions to the agencies that we believe will address the emission failures. As the certificate holder, we expect to participate in connectionthe cost of the proposed voluntary Campaign and recorded a charge for this Campaign in other operating expenses of$60 million ($38 million after tax) in 2015. We continue to work with the salevehicle manufacturer on campaign design and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the trademarks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent. Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable. Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales. Subject to local laws, we can generally refuse to renew these agreements upon expiration or terminate them upon written notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons. Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause. Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributor’s current inventory, signage and special tools and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.execution

Tableplans, however the Campaign is not expected to be completed for some time. The final cost of Contentsthis Campaign could differ from what we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 and is not expected to be known before the second half of 2016.
We currently do not expect any fines or penalties from the EPA or CARB related to this matter.

Other Guarantees and Commitments
In addition to the matters discussed above, fromFrom time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. As of March 29, 2015,At April 3, 2016, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees was $5 million. $27 million, of which $15 million was recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.
We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs in most instances. As of March 29, 2015,At April 3, 2016, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $70$141 million,, of which$36 $70 million relates to a contract with an engine partsa components supplier that extends to 2016. These2018. Most of these arrangements enable us to secure critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.
During 2014, we began entering into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase minimum volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, not to exceed two years. As of March 29, 2015,At April 3, 2016, the total commitments under these contracts were $55$39 million. These arrangements enable us to fix the prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.
We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were$73 $73 million at March 29, 2015and$76 million at December 31, 2014.
April 3, 2016.
Indemnifications
Periodically, we enter into various contractual arrangements where we agree to indemnify a third-party against certain types of losses. Common types of indemnities include:
product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications;
asset sale agreements where we agree to indemnify the purchaser against future environmental exposures related to the asset sold; and
any contractual agreement where we agree to indemnify the counter-party for losses suffered as a result of a misrepresentation in the contract.
We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnities and accrue for expected losses that are probable. Because the indemnifications are not related to specified known liabilities and due to their uncertain nature, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of the potential loss associated with these indemnifications.

NOTE 12. RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS AND OTHER CHARGES
We executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of professional voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2015. These actions were in response to the continued deterioration in our global markets in the second half of 2015, as well as expected reductions in orders in most U.S. and global markets in 2016. We reduced our worldwide workforce by approximately 1,900 employees, including approximately 370 employees accepting voluntary retirement packages with the remainder of the reductions being involuntary. We incurred a charge of $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, of which $86 million related to severance costs for both voluntary and involuntary terminations and $4 million for asset impairments and other charges. As a result of changes in estimates, we now expect approximately $88 million will be settled in cash.
Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring costs and benefits were made based on information available at the time charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded and we may need to revise previous estimates.
At April 3, 2016, substantially all terminations have been completed.
The table below summarizes the activity and balance of accrued workforce reductions, which is included in "Other accrued expenses" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets:

NOTE 12.13. OPERATING SEGMENTS
Operating segments under GAAP are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Cummins' chief operating decision-maker (CODM) is the Chief ExecutiveOperating Officer.
Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Generation. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines and parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various industrial markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, oil and gas, rail and military equipment. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power Generation segment is an integrated provider of power systems, which sells engines, generator sets and alternators.
As previously announced, effective April 2016, we re-organized our business to combine our Power Generation segment and our high horsepower engine business to create the new Power Systems segment. Going forward we will present results for four operating segments: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. We will begin to report results for our new reporting structure in the second quarter of 2016 and will also reflect this change for historical periods. The formation of the Power Systems segment combines two businesses that are already strongly interdependent which will allow us to streamline business and technical processes to accelerate innovation, grow market share and more efficiently manage our supply chain and manufacturing operations.
We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.
The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We have allocatedallocate certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal and finance. We also do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses,

15


prior service costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

Summarized financial information regarding our reportable operating segments for the three month periods is shown in the table below:

NOTE 13.14. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2015,March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standards related to the consolidationaccounting for stock compensation. This amendment addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions that could change for us including, but not limited to, recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies in the income statement each period and classification of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies as operating activities in the cash flow statement. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for leases. Under the new standard, lessees will now be required to recognize all leases on the balance sheet as both a right-of-use-asset and a liability. The standard will continue to have two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases will result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term similar to the treatment for operating leases under today's standards. Finance leases will result in an accelerated expense similar to the accounting for capital leases under today's standards. The determination of a lease classification as operating or finance will be done in a

manner very similar to today's standard. The new standard also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service contracts and the identification of lease and non-lease components in an arrangement. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact the standard could have on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however, while we have not yet quantified the amount, we do expect the standard will have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the recognition of additional assets and liabilities for operating leases.
In January 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting of certain legal entities. Thefinancial instruments. This amendment will change the methodaddresses certain aspects of analysis that we must perform to determine whether certain types of legal entities should be consolidated, primarily limited partnershipsrecognition, measurement, presentation and similar structures. The amendment will eliminate three of the original six conditions for evaluating whether a fee paid to a decision-maker or a service provider represents a variable interest in a variable interest entity (VIE).disclosure. The new rules will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015.2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We do not believe that thisare in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have a significant effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB amended its standards related to revenue recognition. This amendment replaces all existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that we will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that we will recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. The new rules will becomestandard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2017. In April 2015, the FASB proposed a one year delay of the effective date of the standard to provide adequate time for implementation. It is important to note that the FASB's proposed deferral is not a final decision.2018. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial StatementsStatements. , andWhile a final decision has not been made, we are further consideringcurrently planning to adopt the impact of each method of adoption.standard using the modified retrospective approach.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide.We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Daimler Trucks North America, Navistar International Corporation, Fiat Chrysler Group, LLC (Chrysler)Automobiles (Fiat Chrysler), Volvo AB, Komatsu Navistar International Corporation, Aggreko plc, Ford Motor Company and MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximatelyover 7,200 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.
Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Generation. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines and parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various industrial markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, oil and gas, rail and military equipment. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power Generation segment is an integrated provider of power systems, which sells engines, generator sets and alternators.
Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, construction and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels, and production schedules and stoppages. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price reductions in certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by currency, political, economic and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards, in the countries we serve. As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry high levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and countries in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.
Worldwide revenues increased 7decreased 9 percent in the three months ended March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2014,2015, primarily due to lower demand in most global on-highway markets, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, decreased demand in most global Power generation markets and lower demand in most global industrial markets, partially offset by sales increases related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013.2014. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improveddeclined by 1710 percent primarily due to improveddecreased demand in the North American on-highway markets and lower demand in the industrial oil and gas markets, partially offset by increased Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of North American distributors and higher demand in the North American on-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand in off-highway mining and construction markets.distributors. Continued internationalglobal economic uncertaintyweakness in the first quarter of 2015,2016 negatively impacted our international revenues (excluding(excludes the U.S. and Canada), which declined by 68 percent, with sales down or relatively flat in manymost of our markets, especially Europein South America, the U.K. and Brazil.China. The decline in international revenuesales was led by lower demand in the Engine segment, especially the on-highway markets in Brazil and Korea, declines in international construction and commercial marine demand andprimarily due to unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 3 percent (primarily in Europe,the Brazilian real, European euro, Canadian dollar, Indian rupee, Chinese renminbi and Australian dollar), lower demand in the on-highway markets in Brazil Australia and the U.K.). These decreases were partially offsetMexico and decreased demand in international industrial markets led by increased international demand for power generation products. declines in mining and commercial marine markets.

The following table contains sales and earnings before interest expense, income taxestax expense and noncontrolling interests (EBIT) results by operating segment for the three month periodsmonths ended April 3, 2016 and March 29, 2015 and March 30, 20142015. Refer to the section titled “Operating Segment Results” for a more detailed discussion of net sales and EBIT by operating segment, including the reconciliation of segment EBIT to income before income taxes.

We generated $173$263 million of operating cash flows for the three months ended, March 29, 2015, compared to $263$173 million for the same period in 2014.2015. Refer to the section titled “Cash Flows” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.
In September 2013,During the first three months of 2016, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in mostrepurchased $274 million of our partially-owned U.S. and Canadian distributors over a three to five year period. We plan to spend an additional $160 million to $200 million on North American distributor acquisitions and the related debt retirements in the second half of 2015.
We repurchased $137 million ofcommon stock under the 20122014 Board of Directors Authorized Plan, (2012 Plan)completing this program. In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2014 repurchase plan. We repurchased $201 million under the new authorization during the first three months of 2015.2016 and paid an additional $100 million under an accelerated share repurchase agreement for shares that we will receive in the second quarter of 2016. See Note 2, "BASIS OF PRESENTATION" to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized us to issue up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program will facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.
Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, was 17.520.1 percent, compared to 17.317.5 percent at December 31, 2014. We have $2.12015. The increase was due to the repurchases of common stock and higher total debt.

Income Tax Expense
Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 29.528.5 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise. The expected tax rate does not include the benefits of the research tax credit, which expired December 31, 2014 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. If the research credit is reinstated during 2015, we would anticipate the 2015 effective tax rate to be reduced to 28.5 percent. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income.income and the research tax credit.

TheOur effective tax rate for the three month periodmonths ended April 3, 2016, was 28.4 percent and did not include any discrete items.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2015, was 26.3 percent. This tax rate included an $18 million discrete tax benefit to reflect the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to a favorable federal audit settlement.

OurThe increase in the effective tax rate for the three monthmonths ended April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period ended March 30, 2014,in 2015 was 29.9 percent. This tax rate included a $12 million discrete tax expense attributable primarily to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $5 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.

The decrease in the three month effective tax rate from 2014 to 2015 is primarily due to the 2015 favorable discrete tax item.benefit in 2015, partially offset by the research tax credit recognized in the first quarter of 2016 and favorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax income.
It is reasonably possible that our existing liabilities for uncertain tax benefits may decrease in an amount ranging from $40 million to $90 million within the next 12 months for U.S. and non-U.S. audits that are in progress.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended April 3, 2016, decreased $5 million primarily due to lower earnings at Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd. and a decline from the acquisition of the remaining interest in previously consolidated North American distributors since December 31, 2013, partially offset by higher earnings at Cummins India Ltd.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS
Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Generation. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves.serves. We use segment EBIT as the primary basis for the chief operating decision-maker to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segment.segments.
As previously announced, effective April 2016, we re-organized our business to combine our Power Generation segment and our high horsepower engine business to create the new Power Systems segment. Going forward we will present results for four operating segments: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. We will begin to report results for our new reporting structure in the second quarter of 2016 and will also reflect this change for historical periods. The formation of the Power Systems segment combines two businesses that are already strongly interdependent which will allow us to streamline business and technical processes to accelerate innovation, grow market share and more efficiently manage our supply chain and manufacturing operations.
Following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments.

Sales
Engine segment sales for the three months ended April 3, 2016, decreased $262 million versus the comparable period in 2015. The following were the primary drivers by market:
Heavy-duty truck engine sales decreased $126 million primarily due to lower demand in North American heavy-duty truck markets with decreased engine shipments of 33 percent.
Industrial engine sales decreased $77 million primarily due to lower demand in North American oil and gas markets with decreased engine shipments of 81 percent, lower international demand in mining markets with decreased engine shipments of 30 percent, primarily in Europe, and lower international demand in marine markets with decreased engine shipments of 14 percent.
Medium-duty truck and bus sales decreased $59 million primarily due to lower demand in global medium-duty truck markets with decreased engine shipments of 16 percent, primarily in North America and Brazil.
Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales results (primarily in Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi and Indian rupee).
The decreases above were partially offset by an increase in light-duty automotive sales of $52 million primarily due to new sales to Nissan for the truck platform they launched in the second half of 2015.
Total on-highway-related sales for the three months ended April 3, 2016, were 69 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 67 percent for the comparable period in 2015.
Segment EBIT
Engine segment EBIT for the three months ended April 3, 2016, decreased $53 million versus the comparable period in 2015 primarily due to lower gross margin, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses, lower research, development and engineering expenses, higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the British pound and Mexican peso). Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, was primarily due to unfavorable mix and lower volumes, partially offset by lower material and commodity costs and favorable product coverage. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to lower compensation expenses as the result of restructuring actions taken in December 2015 and lower consulting expenses. The decrease in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to higher expense recovery. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to increased earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., partially offset by decreased earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. and Cummins Westport, Inc.

Sales
Distribution segment sales for the three months ended April 3, 2016, decreased $13 million versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to a decline in organic sales of $135 million in North American engine and power generation markets and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and South African rand), partially offset by $109 million of segment sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2014 and organic sales growth in China, Africa, Europe and CIS.
Segment EBIT
Distribution segment EBIT for the three months ended April 3, 2016, increased $7 million versus the comparable period in 2015, primarily due to higher gross margin, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the

The increase in gross margin for the three months ended April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, was primarily due to the acquisition of partially owned North American distributors since December 31, 2014, favorable mix and improved pricing, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and South African rand). The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher compensation expenses due to the acquisition of North American distributors. Acquisitions resulted in lower amortization of intangible assets of $6 million for the three months ended April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, driving the favorable change in other income, net.

Sales
Distribution segment sales for the three months ended March 29, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014 primarily due to $538 million of segment sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013, $10 million of segment sales related to the acquisition of international distributors and $45 million of organic sales growth primarily in Asia Pacific, North America and Africa, partially offset by decreased sales in China and Western Europe and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in Australia, Canada and Europe).

Segment EBIT
Distribution segment EBIT for the three months ended March 29, 2015, increased versus the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to acquisitions of North American distributors, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses, lower equity, royalty and interest income from investees and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in Australia and Canada) and increased amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions. We expect a reduction in equity, royalty and interest income from investees to continue as a result of these acquisitions. EBIT as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 29, 2015, was 6.0 percent compared to 8.0 percent for the comparable period in 2014. The decrease was due to the dilutive effect of the 2014 acquisitions. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

Sales
Power Generation segment sales for the three months ended March 29, 2015, increasedApril 3, 2016, decreased $130 million versus the comparable period in 2014.2015. The following were the primary drivers by business:
Power systemsgeneration sales increaseddecreased in most regions with the largest declines in demand primarily due to higherin China, Other Asia, Latin America, Mexico and Western Europe.
Generator technologies sales decreased in most regions with the highest declines in demand primarily in China and Asia, partially offset by lower demand in Russia.
Power solutions sales increased primarily due to higher demand in the U.K., partially offset by lower demand in North America.
The increases above were partially offset by the following:
Alternator sales decreased primarily due to lower demand in Europe, partially offset by higher demand in China.Western Europe.
Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales results (primarily in Europethe Brazilian real, Indian rupee and Brazil)European euro).
Segment EBIT
Power Generation segment EBIT for the three months ended March 29, 2015, increasedApril 3, 2016, decreased $18 million versus the comparable period in 20142015, primarily due to higherlower gross margin, partially offset by lower selling, general and lower research, development and engineeringadministrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data
We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings when necessary. Various assets and liabilities, including short-term debt, can fluctuate significantly from month to month depending on short-term liquidity needs. As a result, working capital is a prime focus of management attention. Working capital and balance sheet measures are provided in the following table:

Net cash provided by operating activities decreasedincreased $90 million for the three months ended March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2014,2015, primarily due to unfavorablefavorable working capital fluctuations and lower pension contributions in excess of expense, partially offset by higherlower consolidated net income. During the first three months of 2015,2016, the higherlower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $242$144 million compared to a cash outflow of $158$242 million in the comparable period in 20142015. 
Net cash used in investing activities decreasedincreased $263 million for the three months ended March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2014,2015, primarily due to lower cash investment for the acquisitions of businesses in 2015 and lower investments in and advances to equity investees, partially offset by higher net investments in marketable securities.securities of $232 million.
Net cash used in financing activities decreasedincreased $336 million for the three months ended March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2014,2015, primarily due to lowerhigher common stock repurchases of common stock$438 million, partially offset by increased proceeds from borrowings of $282$103 million and new net borrowings of commercial paper of $50 million.
Sources of Liquidity 
We generate significant ongoing cash flow, which has been used, in part, to fund working capital, common stock repurchases, capital expenditures, dividends on our common stock, acquisitions, projected pension obligations, debt service and debt service.restructuring actions and other charges. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity with $173$263 million provided by operations forin the three months ended March 29, 2015. April 3, 2016.

(2) The revolving credit facility is maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At April 3, 2016, we had $50 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facility to $1.70 billion.
(3) The available capacity is net of letters of credit.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. As of March 29, 2015, the total of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $1.2 billion, the majority of which was located in the U.K., China, Singapore and India. The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our business growth strategy.ongoing investments. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our targeted expansion or operating needs with local resources.

If we distribute our foreign cash balances to the U.S. or to other foreign subsidiaries, we could be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes. For example, we would be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes if we repatriated cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we have asserted are permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China and U.K. domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings from these subsidiaries for which we have asserted permanent reinvestment. However, to help fund cash needs of the U.S. or other international subsidiaries as they arise, we repatriate available cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are not permanently reinvested when it is cost effective to do so. Earnings generated after 2011 from our China operations are considered permanently reinvested, while earnings generated prior to 2012, for which U.S. deferred tax liabilities have been recorded, are expected to be repatriated in future years.years.
Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity
In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized us to issue up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program will facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.
We have a $1.7$1.75 billion revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which can be used for general corporate purposes. This facility expires on November 9, 2018.13, 2020. The revolving credit facility is maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings, letters of credit and general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and commercial paper program should not exceed $1.75 billion.
We haveAs a currentwell-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration filedfor an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission under whichon February 16, 2016. Under this shelf registration we may offer, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.
The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $11 million to $39 million over the next five years.
Uses of Cash
Share Repurchases
In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2014 repurchase plan. In the first three months of 2016, we made the following purchases under the respective stock repurchase programs:

(1)The remaining authorized capacities under the 2014 and 2015 Plans were calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares but exclude commission expenses in accordance with the authorized Plans.
On February 9, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a third party financial institution to repurchase $500 million of our common stock under our previously announced share repurchase plans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid the full $500 million purchase price and received approximately 4.1 million shares at a price of $98.43 per share, representing approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be repurchased. The unsettled portion of the ASR meets the criteria to be accounted for as a forward contract indexed to our stock and qualifies as an equity transaction. This resulted in a $100 million reduction to additional paid-in capital during the quarter. The final number of shares to be repurchased will be based on our volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the transaction, less a discount. The ASR is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2016.
We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2016 to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans and to enhance shareholder value.
Dividends
In July 2015, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 25 percent from $0.78 per share to $0.975 per share. We paid dividends of $170 million during the three months ended April 3, 2016.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures and spending on internal use software for the three months ended March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, were $100$84 million compared to $107$108 million in the comparable period in 20142015. Despite the challenging international economies, we continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend between $750$600 million and $850$650 million in 20152016 as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 50 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2015.

In July 2014, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2012 Plan. We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2015 to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans and to enhance shareholder value.

Dividends
In July 2014, the Board of Directors authorized a dividend increase of approximately 25 percent from $0.625 per share to $0.78 per share on a quarterly basis. We paid dividends of $140 million during the three months ended March 29, 2015.
Acquisitions
In September 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned U.S. and Canadian distributors over a three to five year period. We plan to spend an additional $160 million to $200 million on North American distributor acquisitions and the related debt retirements in the second half of 2015.2016.
Pensions
The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first three months of 2015, 2016, the investment return on our U.S. pension trust was 2.64.7 percent while our U.K. pension trust return was 4.24.0 percent.Approximately 7978 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 2122 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity and insurance contracts.

We sponsor funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Contributions to these plans were as follows:

Claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate $40 million in 2015. We expect our 20152016 net periodic pension cost to approximate $63$42 million.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $50 million of commercial paper outstanding at April 3, 2016, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $7 million to $39 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2016).

Restructuring Actions

professional voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2015. We reduced our worldwide workforce by approximately 1,900 employees. We incurred a fourth quarter charge of $90 million ($61 million after tax) for these headcount reductions, of which $86 million was expected to be settled in cash. As a result of changes in estimates, we now expect the amount to be $88 million. The majority of these payments will be made by the end of September 2016. At April 3, 2016, substantially all terminations have been completed.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 20142015 Form 10-K which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. We believe ourOur critical accounting estimates include those addressingdisclosed in the Form 10-K address the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 20142015 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first three months of 2015.2016.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 13,14, "RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements for additional information.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 20142015 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 20142015 Form 10-K.
ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.Legal Proceedings
We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites. We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings. We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate. While we believe we have also established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws. While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014,2015, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

In July 2014,November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2012 Plan.2014 repurchase plan. On February 9, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a third party financial institution to repurchase $500 million of our common stock under our previously announced share repurchase plans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid the full $500 million purchase price and received approximately 4.1 million shares at a price of $98.43 per share, representing approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be repurchased. The unsettled portion of the ASR meets the criteria to be accounted for as a forward contract

Tableindexed to our stock and qualifies as an equity transaction. This resulted in a $100 million reduction to additional paid-in capital during the quarter. The final number of Contentsshares to be repurchased will be based on our volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the transaction, less a discount. The ASR is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2016. The initial 4.1 million shares delivered from the ASR are included in purchases in the table above. We repurchased a total of $274 million and $201 million of stock under the 2014 and 2015 authorized stock repurchase plans, respectively, during the three months ended April 3, 2016, including the ASR shares discussed above.

During the three months ended March 29, 2015,April 3, 2016, we repurchased 3,7632,975 shares from employees in connection with the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Loans are issued for five-year terms at a fixed interest rate established at the date of purchase and may be refinanced after its initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of purchase and afterpurchase. If the shares are sold before the loan is paid off, the employee must wait six months before another share purchase may be made. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
