PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

General Development of Business

        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 77 glass manufacturing plants in 21 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.

Company Strategy

        The Company's ambition is to be the world's leading maker of brand-building glass containers, delivering unmatched quality, innovation and service to its customers; generating strong financial results for its investors; and providing a safe, motivating and engaging work environment for its employees. To accomplish this ambition, the Company is focused on the following objectives:

•

Reduce structural costs through specific programs such as permanent footprint adjustments, asset optimization and global cost-cutting initiatives;



•

Grow selectively by taking advantage of the Company's position in emerging markets around the world and strengthening the Company's positions in Europe and North America;



•

Deliver brand-building product innovation to the Company's customers to help them build, develop and expand their brands; and



•

Invest strategically in process innovation and research and development to reduce manufacturing costs and improve efficiency, flexibility, reliability and sustainability.

Reportable Segments

        The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations: Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific. Information as to sales, earnings from continuing operations before interest income, interest expense, 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.

Products and Services

        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.

Customers

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

1

---

        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. Due to the significance of transportation costs and the importance of timely delivery, glass container manufacturing facilities are generally located in close proximity to customers.

Markets and Competitive Conditions

        The Company's principal markets for glass container products are in Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific.

        Europe.    The Company has a leading share of the glass container segment of the rigid packaging market in Europe, with 35 glass container manufacturing plants located in the Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom. The Company is also involved in two joint ventures that manufacture glass containers in Italy. These plants primarily produce glass containers for the beer, wine, champagne, spirits and food markets in these countries. Throughout Europe, the Company competes directly with a variety of glass container manufacturers including Verallia, Ardagh Group, Vetropak and Vidrala.

        North America.    The Company has 19 glass container manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Canada, and is also involved in a joint venture that manufactures glass containers in the U.S. 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 Verallia North America and Ardagh Group. Imports from Canada, 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.

        South America.    The Company has 13 glass manufacturing plants in South America, located in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. In South 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 10 glass container manufacturing plants in the Asia Pacific region, located in Australia, China, Indonesia and New Zealand. It is also involved 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 (formerly Amcor 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 Amcor, Ball Corporation, Crown Holdings, Inc., Rexam plc, and Silgan Holdings Inc. The principal competitors producing plastic containers include Amcor, Consolidated Container Holdings, LLC, Reynolds Group Holdings Limited, Plastipak Packaging, Inc. and

2

---

Silgan Holdings Inc. The Company also competes with manufacturers of non-rigid packaging alternatives, including flexible pouches, aseptic cartons and bag-in-box containers.

        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.

Seasonality

        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 South America are typically greater in the third and fourth quarters of the year.

Manufacturing

        The Company has 77 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 operates machine shops that rebuild and repair high-productivity glass forming machines, as well as a mold shop that manufactures molds and related equipment. The Company also provides engineering support for its glass manufacturing operations through facilities located in the U.S., Australia, Poland and Peru.

Suppliers and Raw Materials

        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.

Energy

        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 10-25% 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, approximately 90% of the sales volume is tied to customer contracts that contain provisions that pass the price of natural gas to the customer, effectively reducing the North America segment's exposure to changing natural gas market prices. Also, in order to limit the effects of fluctuations in market prices for natural gas, the Company uses commodity futures contracts related to its forecasted requirements in North America. The objective of these futures 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 futures contracts.

3

---

        In Europe and Asia Pacific, the Company enters into fixed price contracts for a significant amount of its energy requirements. These contracts typically have terms of 12 months or less in Europe and one to three years in Asia Pacific. In South America, the Company enters into fixed price contracts for its energy requirements. These contracts typically have terms of two years, with annual price adjustments for inflation.

Technical Assistance License Agreements

        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 the years 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company earned $16 million, $17 million and $16 million, respectively, in royalties and net technical assistance revenue.

Research, Development and Engineering

        Research, development and engineering constitute important parts of the Company's technical activities. Expenditures for these activities were $62 million, $62 million and $71 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 new facility will enable 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.

Sustainability and the Environment

        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'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 using 100% recycled glass. Using

4

---

recycled glass in the manufacturing process reduces energy costs and prolongs the operating life 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.

        Sales of beverage containers are affected by governmental regulation of packaging, including deposit laws and extended producer responsibility regulations. As of December 31, 2013, 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 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 U.S. states and Canadian provinces have recently considered or are now considering laws and regulations to encourage curbside, deposit and on-premise recycling. Although there is no clear trend in the direction of these state and provincial laws and regulations, the Company believes that U.S. states and Canadian 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 US 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 province of Quebec in Canada adopted cap-and-trade legislation aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions starting in 2013.

        In Asia Pacific, the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 commenced on July 1, 2008 in Australia. This act established a mandatory reporting system for corporate greenhouse gas emissions and energy production and consumption. In 2011, the Australian government adopted a carbon pricing mechanism that took effect in 2012, which requires certain manufacturers to pay a tax based on their

5

---

carbon-equivalent emissions. An emissions trading scheme has also been in effect in New Zealand since 2008.

        In South America, the Brazilian government passed a law in 2009 requiring companies to reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions by the year 2020. In the other South American countries, national and local governments are considering proposals that would impose regulations to reduce CO₂ emissions, but no legislation has been implemented to date.

        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 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.

Employees

        The Company's worldwide operations employed approximately 22,500 persons as of December 31, 2013. Approximately 79% of North American employees are hourly workers covered by collective bargaining agreements. The principal collective bargaining agreement, which at December 31, 2013, covered approximately 91% of the Company's union-affiliated employees in North America, will expire on March 31, 2016. Approximately 60% of employees in South America are unionized, although according to the labor legislation in each country, 100% of employees 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 South 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 and the ability to pursue acquisitions.

        The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging bodily injury and death as a result of exposure to asbestos dust. 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 pipe and block 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").

        The Company believes that its ultimate asbestos-related liability (i.e., its indemnity payments or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot reasonably be estimated. Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total of approximately $4.3 billion through 2013, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability. The Company's ability to reasonably 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 magnitude and timing of co-defendant bankruptcy trust payments, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns against the Company, and the success of efforts by co-defendants to restrict or eliminate their liability in the litigation.

        The Company conducted a comprehensive review of its asbestos-related liabilities and costs in connection with finalizing and reporting its results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and concluded that an increase in its accrual for future asbestos-related costs in the amount of $145 million (pretax and after tax) was required.

        The ultimate amount of distributions that may be required to fund the Company's asbestos-related payments cannot reasonably be estimated. The Company's reported results of operations for 2013 were materially affected by the $145 million (pretax and after tax) fourth quarter charge and asbestos-related payments continue to be substantial. Any future additional charge may likewise materially affect the Company's results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Also, 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 and its ability to pursue global or domestic acquisitions.

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, 2013, the Company had approximately $3.6 billion of total debt outstanding, a decrease from $3.8 billion at December 31, 2012.

        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, 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;

8

---

•

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 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, 2013, the Company's debt subject to variable interest rates represented approximately 25% 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.

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 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

9

---

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.

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 international operations totaled approximately $5.2 billion, representing approximately 74% of the Company's net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013. As a result of its international 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;



•

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.

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 and Australian dollar. In its consolidated financial statements, the Company 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.

10

---

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.

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 for 10% to 25% 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.

11

Business Integration Risks—The Company may not be able to effectively integrate additional businesses it acquires in the future.

        The Company may consider 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;



•

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, the loss of which could have a material adverse effect on operations. 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.

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 South America are typically greater in the third and fourth quarters of the year. Unseasonably cool weather during peak demand periods can reduce demand for certain beverages packaged in the Company's containers.

12

---

Raw Materials—Profitability could be affected by the availability 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.

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 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 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 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.

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, 2013, covered approximately 79% of the Company's employees in North America. Approximately 60% of employees in South America are unionized, although according to the labor legislation of each country, 100% of employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The agreement covering substantially all of the Company's union-affiliated employees in its U.S. glass container operations expires on March 31, 2016. The majority of the hourly workers in Australia and

13

---

New Zealand are also covered by collective bargaining agreements. The collective bargaining agreements in South 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. Although the Company believes that it has a good working relationship with its employees, 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 and Asia Pacific segments. 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.

Information Technology—Failure or disruption of information technology could disrupt operations and adversely affect operations.

        The Company relies on information technology to operate its plants, to communicate with its employees, customers and suppliers, 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, computer viruses, hackers or other security issues. While the Company has disaster recovery programs in place, failure or disruption of the Company's information technology systems could result in transaction errors, loss of customers, business disruptions, or loss of or damage to intellectual property, which could have a material adverse effect on operations.

        The Company continues to undertake the phased implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") software system. The implementation of a new ERP system poses several challenges related to, among other things, training of personnel, communication of new rules and procedures, migration of data and the potential instability of the system. While the Company has taken steps to mitigate these challenges, the unsuccessful implementation of the ERP system could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations.

14

---

Intellectual Property—The loss of the Company's intellectual property rights may negatively impact its ability to compete.

        If the Company is unable to maintain the proprietary nature of its technologies, its competitors may use its technologies to compete with it. The Company has a number of patents. The Company's patents may not withstand challenge in litigation, and patents do not ensure that competitors will not develop competing products or infringe upon the Company's patents. Additionally, the Company markets its products internationally and the patent laws of foreign countries may offer less protection than the patent laws in the U.S. The Company also relies on trade secrets, know-how and other unpatented technology, and others may independently develop the same or similar technology or otherwise obtain access to the Company's unpatented technology.

Accounting—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 because certain information that is used in the preparation of the Company's financial statements 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. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difficult to determine and the Company must exercise significant judgment. 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.

        The Company's implementation of and compliance with changes in accounting rules and interpretations could adversely affect its 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. Recent actions and public comments from the SEC have focused on the integrity of financial reporting generally. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has recently introduced several new or proposed accounting standards, or is developing new proposed standards, which would represent a significant change from current industry practices. In addition, many companies' accounting policies are being subjected to heightened scrutiny by regulators and the public. While the Company believes that its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 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, 2013 totaled $2.1 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

15

---

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 $96 million, $219 million and $59 million to its defined benefit pension plans in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 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):

26

---

Executive Overview—Comparison of 2013 with 2012

2013 Highlights

•

Net sales lower due to unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes and sales volume, partially offset by higher selling prices.



•

Segment operating profit higher due to improved selling prices and global cost control initiatives, partially offset by cost inflation and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes.



•

Strong cash generation used to prepay debt and continue share repurchase program.

        Net sales were $33 million lower than the prior year due primarily to the unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and sales volume. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes were driven by a weaker Brazilian real and Australian dollar, partially offset by a stronger Euro. Higher selling prices had a positive impact on net sales.

        Segment operating profit for reportable segments was $12 million higher than the prior year. The increase was attributable to higher selling prices and lower operating expenses due to global cost control initiatives. Cost inflation and the effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes unfavorably impacted segment operating profit in 2013.

27

---

        Interest expense in 2013 decreased $9 million over 2012. The decrease was due to debt reduction initiatives and lower interest rates, partially offset by note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to debt that was repaid during 2013 prior to its maturity.

        The Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company in 2013 of $202 million, or $1.22 per share (diluted), compared with $186 million, or $1.12 per share, for 2012. 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 $248 million, or $1.50 per share, in 2013 and $252 million, or $1.52 per share, in 2012.

Results of Operations—Comparison of 2013 with 2012

Net Sales

        The Company's net sales in 2013 were $6,967 million compared with $7,000 million in 2012, a decrease of $33 million. Net sales were lower due to the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, primarily due to a weaker Brazilian real and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by a stronger Euro. Glass container shipments, in tonnes, were down slightly in 2013 compared to 2012, with all regions reporting lower or flat sales volumes. Net sales benefited in 2013 from higher selling prices.

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

        Europe:    Net sales in Europe in 2013 were $2,787 million compared with $2,717 million in 2012, an increase of $70 million, or 3%. Net sales increased $68 million due to the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, as the Euro strengthened in relation to the U.S. dollar. Higher selling prices benefited net sales in the current year by $18 million. Glass container shipments in 2013 were down less than 1% compared to the prior year, particularly in the beer and non-alcoholic beverage categories. The lower sales volume, which reduced net sales by $16 million, was mainly due to the macroeconomic environment in Europe, partially offset by an increase in wine bottle sales due to the Company's efforts to recover wine share lost in 2012.

        North America:    Net sales in North America in 2013 were $2,002 million compared with $1,966 million in 2012, an increase of $36 million, or 2%. The increase in net sales was due to higher selling prices of $44 million. The benefit of higher selling prices was partially offset by the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes, which decreased net sales by $8 million due to a weakening of the Canadian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. Glass container shipments were flat in the current year compared to the prior year, as lower megabeer bottle sales were offset by higher shipments of craft beer and non-alcoholic beverage containers.

        South America:    Net sales in South America in 2013 were $1,186 million compared with $1,252 million in 2012, a decrease of $66 million, or 5%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $99 million in 2013 compared to 2012, principally due to a 10% decline in the Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar. Lower sales volume in the current year reduced net sales by $18 million due to a decline in glass container shipments of less than 1%, driven by lower beer demand across the region, general economic uncertainty and the impact of general

28

---

strikes in Colombia in the mining, agriculture and transportation industries. Higher selling prices benefited net sales $51 million in the current year.

        Asia Pacific:    Net sales in Asia Pacific in 2013 were $966 million compared with $1,028 million in 2012, a decrease of $62 million, or 6%. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased net sales $53 million in 2013 compared to 2012, primarily due to the weakening of the Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar. Glass container shipments were down almost 1% compared to the prior year, resulting in a $14 million decline in net sales, driven by lower shipments of beer bottles partially offset by gains in non-alcoholic beverage and food containers. Improved pricing increased net sales $5 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 2013 was $947 million compared to $935 million in 2012, an increase of $12 million, or 1%. The increase in segment operating profit was the result of higher selling prices and lower operating expenses due to global cost control initiatives. Cost inflation negatively impacted segment operating profit in the current year. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates unfavorably impacted segment operating profit in 2013, primarily due to a weaker Brazilian real and Australian dollar in relation to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by a stronger Euro. Manufacturing and delivery costs were flat with the prior year as lower global production volumes were offset by benefits realized from permanent footprint initiatives.

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

        Europe:    Segment operating profit in Europe in 2013 was $305 million compared with $307 million in 2012, a decrease of $2 million, or 1%. The higher selling prices discussed above increased segment operating profit by $18 million, while the decline in sales volume decreased segment operating profit by $3 million. Cost inflation in the current year reduced segment operating profit by $39 million. Cost control initiatives and the asset optimization program, partially offset by higher spending on equipment repairs and logistical costs, had a net $16 million positive impact on segment operating profit during 2013, while the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes increased segment operating profit by $6 million.

        The Company continued implementing the European asset optimization program to increase the efficiency and capability of its European operations. Through this program over the next several years,

29

---

the Company expects to improve the long term profitability of this region through investments and by addressing higher cost facilities to better align its European manufacturing footprint with market and customer needs.

        North America:    Segment operating profit in North America in 2013 was $307 million compared with $288 million in 2012, an increase of $19 million, or 7%. Higher selling prices in the current year increased segment operating profit by $44 million and lower operating expenses, driven by cost control initiatives, had a $17 million positive impact on segment operating profit. Cost inflation had a $40 million unfavorable impact on segment operating profit. Higher manufacturing and delivery costs decreased segment operating profit by $2 million in the current year.

        South America:    Segment operating profit in South America in 2013 was $204 million compared with $227 million in 2012, a decrease of $23 million, or 10%. The lower sales volume in the current year decreased segment operating profit by $2 million, while higher selling prices improved segment operating profit by $51 million, despite the price controls imposed by the Argentina government in the first half of the year. Cost inflation in the current year decreased segment operating profit by $37 million and higher manufacturing and delivery costs resulted in a $15 million decline in 2013 compared to the prior year. The higher manufacturing and delivery costs were primarily due to a higher number of furnace rebuilds and repairs in the current year and the effects of the general strikes in Colombia, partially offset by the benefits of the new furnace in Brazil that started production at the end of 2012. The unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit by $14 million in the current year while other costs increased by $6 million.

        Asia Pacific:    Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in 2013 was $131 million compared with $113 million in 2012, an increase of $18 million, or 16%. The increase in segment operating profit was primarily due to a $18 million decline in manufacturing and delivery costs driven by the benefits realized from the permanent footprint adjustments made over the past year. Higher selling prices and sales volume increased segment operating profit by $5 million and $1 million, respectively, and lower operating expenses, driven by cost control initiatives, had a $16 million positive impact in the current year. Cost inflation reduced segment operating profit by $18 million, while the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes decreased segment operating profit by $4 million in 2013.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense in 2013 was $239 million compared with $248 million in 2012. Interest expense for 2013 included $11 million for note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to the discharge of the €300 million senior notes due 2017 and $3 million for loss on debt extinguishment and the write-off of finance fees related to the repurchase of a portion of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. Exclusive of these items, interest expense decreased $23 million in the current year. The decrease was principally due to debt reduction initiatives and lower interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2013 was 35.8%, compared with 32.9% for 2012. Excluding the amounts related to items that management considers not representative of ongoing operations, the Company's effective tax rate for 2013 was 21.9%, compared with 22.1% for 2012.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

        Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for 2013 was $13 million compared to $34 million for 2012. The decrease was primarily due to $14 million included in 2012 related to a gain recorded by the Company for cash received from the Chinese government as compensation for land in China that the Company was required to return to the government.

30

---

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

        For 2013, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $202 million compared with $186 million for 2012. 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 2013 and 2012 as set forth in the following table (dollars in millions).

Executive Overview—Comparison of 2012 with 2011

2012 Highlights

•

Net sales lower due to foreign currency exchange rate changes and 5% decline in glass container shipments, partially offset by higher selling prices



•

Increased segment operating profit due to higher selling prices to offset cost inflation, as well as improved manufacturing performance in North America and cost savings from permanent footprint adjustments made in Australia



•

Strong cash generation used to prepay debt, make discretionary pension contributions and initiate a share repurchase program

        Net sales were $358 million lower than the prior year, primarily due to the unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower sales volumes, partially offset by improved pricing.

        Segment operating profit for reportable segments was $35 million higher than the prior year. The increase was mainly attributable to higher selling prices to offset inflation, improvements made in North America to correct the production and supply chain issues from 2011, cost savings achieved from the permanent footprint adjustments made in Australia and global cost-cutting initiatives. These increases to segment operating profit were partially offset by the unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the unfavorable impacts of the production curtailments in Europe and lower sales volume.

        Interest expense in 2012 decreased $66 million over 2011. The decrease was principally due to the refinancing of higher cost debt in connection with the Company's new bank credit agreement completed in mid-2011, as well as the non-recurrence of note repurchase premiums and the write-off of finance fees related to debt redeemed in 2011. Interest expense also decreased due to the prepayment in 2012 of term loans under the Company's bank credit agreement.

        The Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company in 2012 of $186 million, or $1.12 per share (diluted), compared to a loss from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $501 million, or $3.06 per share, for 2011. 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 $252 million, or $1.52 per share, in 2012 and $905 million, or $5.49 per share, in 2011.

Results of Operations—Comparison of 2012 with 2011

Net Sales

        The Company's net sales in 2012 were $7,000 million compared with $7,358 million in 2011, a decrease of $358 million, or 5%. The decrease in net sales was caused by the unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and lower sales volumes, partially offset by improved pricing. The unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates were primarily due to a weaker Euro and Brazilian real in relation to the U.S. dollar. Glass container shipments, in tonnes, were down approximately 5% in 2012 compared to 2011, driven by lower sales in Europe and Asia Pacific, partially offset by higher sales in South America. Average selling prices improved in 2012 over the prior year as the Company increased prices to recover high cost inflation.

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

        Europe:    Net sales in Europe in 2012 were $2,717 million compared with $3,052 million in 2011, a decrease of $335 million, or 11%. The decrease in net sales was partly attributable to the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes as the Euro declined in value in relation to the U.S. dollar by approximately 8% in 2012 compared to the prior year. The decrease in net sales was also due to lower glass container shipment levels which were down approximately 9% in 2012 compared to 2011. Lower wine and food bottle shipments accounted for the majority of the volume decrease, primarily a result of macroeconomic conditions in the region and the Company's pricing strategy. Partially offsetting these decreases to net sales were higher selling prices resulting from the successful negotiation of annual customer contracts to recover high cost inflation.

        North America:    Net sales in North America in 2012 were $1,966 million compared with $1,929 million in 2011, an increase of $37 million, or 2%. The increase in net sales was due to improved pricing, as the Company increased selling prices in the current year to recover high cost inflation. Glass container shipments in 2012 were similar to 2011 shipments.

        South America:    Net sales in South America in 2012 were $1,252 million compared with $1,226 million in 2011, an increase of $26 million, or 2%. The increase in net sales was due to improved pricing and higher glass container shipments. The Company increased selling prices in 2012 to recover high cost inflation. Glass container shipments were up about 6% in the current year, particularly in the beer category. Partially offsetting these increases to net sales was the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes as the Brazilian real declined in value in relation to the U.S. dollar by approximately 17% in 2012 compared to 2011.

        Asia Pacific:    Net sales in Asia Pacific in 2012 were $1,028 million compared with $1,059 million in 2011, a decrease of $31 million, or 3%. The decrease in net sales was caused by lower glass container shipments, partially offset by higher selling prices to recover high cost inflation. Glass container

shipments, in tonnes, were down approximately 9% in 2012 compared to the prior year. In 2012, the Company continued to experience declines in shipments of wine and beer bottles primarily due to the off-shoring of Australian wine bottling and lower beer consumption due to macroeconomic conditions.

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 2012 was $935 million compared to $900 million in 2011, an increase of $35 million, or 4%. The increase in segment operating profit was primarily due to higher selling prices to recover high cost inflation, improved manufacturing performance in North America, footprint adjustments in Australia and global cost-cutting initiatives. These increases in segment operating profit were partially offset by the unfavorable effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, production curtailments in Europe and lower sales volume. Costs of goods sold were comparable to the prior year as lower costs in 2012 due to the improvements made in North America to correct the production and supply chain issues from 2011 and cost savings achieved from the permanent footprint adjustments made in Australia were offset by the unfavorable impacts of the production curtailments in Europe in the second half of 2012. Operating expenses were lower in 2012 compared to 2011 due to global cost reductions and the non-recurrence of expenses in 2011 related to the implementation of an ERP system.

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

        Europe:    Segment operating profit in Europe in 2012 was $307 million compared with $345 million in 2011, a decrease of $38 million, or 11%. The decrease in segment operating profit was mainly attributable to lower sales volume, higher costs of goods sold and the unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Higher costs of goods sold were driven by lower fixed cost absorption due to production curtailment measures implemented in 2012 to balance capacity with lower demand in the region. These decreases to segment operating profit more than offset the favorable effects of higher production efficiencies experienced in the first half of 2012, as well as the favorable effects of higher selling prices to recover high cost inflation and current year cost control initiatives.

        The Company continued implementing the European Asset Optimization program to increase the efficiency and capability of its European operations. Through this program over the next several years, the Company expects to improve the long term profitability of this region through investments and by

33

addressing higher cost facilities to better align its European manufacturing footprint with market and customer needs.

        North America:    Segment operating profit in North America in 2012 was $288 million compared with $222 million in 2011, an increase of $66 million, or 30%. The increase in segment operating profit was primarily due to strong manufacturing performance and improvements made to correct the production and supply chain issues experienced in the prior year. High production rates in 2012, along with the restarting of two idled furnaces in the second half of 2011, resulted in higher fixed cost absorption compared to the prior year. Segment operating profit also increased during 2012 due to higher selling prices to recover high cost inflation, cost control initiatives and the non-recurrence of expenses in 2011 related to the implementation of an ERP system.

        South America:    Segment operating profit in South America in 2012 was $227 million compared with $250 million in 2011, a decrease of $23 million, or 9%. The decrease in segment operating profit was primarily due to the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes. Higher selling prices to recover high cost inflation and higher sales volume in 2012 benefited segment operating profit compared to the prior year, but were partially offset by higher transportation costs as the region imported glass containers from its facilities in other countries into Brazil to support the continued growth in that country. To partially alleviate the capacity constraints in Brazil, the Company completed the construction of a new furnace late in 2012 and incurred additional costs associated with the start-up of this new furnace.

        Asia Pacific:    Segment operating profit in Asia Pacific in 2012 was $113 million compared with $83 million in 2011, an increase of $30 million, or 36%. The increase in segment operating profit was primarily due to the benefits realized from the permanent footprint adjustments made in Australia over the past year, overall cost-cutting initiatives in the region and higher selling prices to recover high cost inflation, partially offset by lower sales volume. The increase in segment operating profit was also due to the non-recurrence of approximately $9 million of costs related to flooding in Australia during the first quarter of 2011.

Interest Expense

        Interest expense in 2012 was $248 million compared with $314 million in 2011. The 2011 amount includes $25 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees related to the cancellation of the Company's previous bank credit agreement and the redemption of the senior notes due 2014. Exclusive of these items, interest expense decreased $41 million. The decrease in interest expense was principally due to the refinancing of higher cost debt in connection with the Company's new bank credit agreement completed in mid-2011 and the prepayment in 2012 of term loans under the bank credit agreement.

Provision for Income Taxes

        The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations for 2012 was 32.9%, compared with -21.5% for 2011. The effective tax rate for 2011 was impacted by the goodwill impairment 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 2012 was 22.1%, compared with 21.6% for 2011.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

        Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for 2012 was $34 million compared to $20 million for 2011. The increase was due to $14 million included in 2012 related to a gain recorded

by the Company for cash received from the Chinese government as compensation for land in China that the Company was required to return to the government.

Earnings from Continuing Operations Attributable to the Company

        For 2012, the Company recorded earnings from continuing operations attributable to the Company of $186 million compared to a loss of $501 million for 2011. 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 2012 and 2011 as set forth in the following table (dollars in millions).

Items Excluded from Reportable Segment Totals

Retained Corporate Costs and Other

        Retained corporate costs and other for 2013 were $119 million compared with $106 million for 2012. Retained corporate costs and other for 2013 reflect lower earnings from global machine and equipment sales and other technical and engineering services, in addition to lower earnings from the Company's equity investment in a soda ash mining operation.

        Retained corporate costs and other for 2012 were $106 million compared with $75 million for 2011. Retained corporate costs and other for 2012 reflect lower earnings from global machine and equipment sales and other technical and engineering services, in addition to higher management incentive compensation expense and lower earnings from the Company's equity investment in a soda ash mining operation.

Restructuring, Asset Impairment and Related Charges

        During 2013, the Company recorded charges totaling $119 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. These charges reflect completed and planned plant and furnace closures in Europe, South America and Asia Pacific, as well as global headcount reduction initiatives. These charges also include an asset impairment charge related to the Company's operations in Argentina, primarily due to macroeconomic issues in that country.

        During 2012, the Company recorded charges totaling $168 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. These charges reflect completed and planned plant and furnace closures in Europe and Asia Pacific, as well as global headcount reduction initiatives.

        During 2011, the Company recorded charges totaling $112 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. These charges reflect completed and planned furnace closures in Europe and Asia Pacific, as well as global headcount reduction initiatives.

Charge for Asbestos Related Costs

        The fourth quarter of 2013 charge for asbestos-related costs was $145 million, compared to the fourth quarter of 2012 charge of $155 million. These charges resulted from the Company's comprehensive annual review of asbestos-related liabilities and costs. In each year, the Company concluded that an increase in the accrued liability was required to provide for estimated indemnity payments and legal fees arising from asbestos personal injury lawsuits and claims pending and expected to be filed during the several years following the completion of the comprehensive review. See "Critical Accounting Estimates" for further information.

        Asbestos-related cash payments for 2013 were $158 million, a decrease of $7 million from 2012. Deferred amounts payable were approximately $12 million and $24 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        During 2013, the Company received approximately 1,700 new filings and disposed of approximately 1,700 claims. As of December 31, 2013, the number of asbestos-related claims pending against the Company was approximately 2,600. The Company anticipates that cash flows from operations and other sources will be sufficient to meet all asbestos-related obligations on a short-term and long-term basis. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Gain on China Land Compensation

        During 2012, the Company received $85 million from the Chinese government as compensation for land in China that the Company was required to return to the government. The Company recorded a gain of $61 million related to the disposal of this land.

Charge for Goodwill Impairment

        During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its Asia Pacific segment. Lower projected cash flows, principally in the segment's Australian operations, caused the decline in the business enterprise value. The strong Australian dollar in 2011 resulted in many wine producers in the country exporting their wine in bulk shipments and bottling the wine closer to their end markets. This decreased the demand for wine bottles in Australia, which was a significant portion of the Company's sales in that country, and the Company expects this decreased demand to continue into the foreseeable future. Following a review of the valuation of the segment's identifiable assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $641 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.

Discontinued Operations

        On October 26, 2010, the Venezuelan government, through Presidential Decree No. 7.751, expropriated the assets of Owens-Illinois de Venezuela and Fabrica de Vidrios Los Andes, C.A., two of the Company's subsidiaries in that country, which in effect constituted a taking of the going concerns of those companies. Shortly after the issuance of the decree, the Venezuelan government installed temporary administrative boards who are in control of the expropriated assets.

        Since the issuance of the decree, the Company has cooperated with the Venezuelan government, as it is compelled to do under Venezuelan law, to provide for an orderly transition while ensuring the safety and well-being of the employees and the integrity of the production facilities. The Company has been engaged in negotiations with the Venezuelan government in relation to certain aspects of the expropriation, including the compensation payable by the government as a result of its expropriation. On September 26, 2011, the Company, having been unable to reach an agreement with the Venezuelan government regarding fair compensation, commenced an arbitration against Venezuela through the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. The Company is unable at this stage to predict the amount, or timing of receipt, of compensation it will ultimately receive.

        The loss from discontinued operations of $18 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes $8 million of special termination benefits related to a previously disposed business and $10 million for ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

        As of December 31, 2013, the Company had cash and total debt of $383 million and $3.6 billion, respectively, compared to $431 million and $3.8 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. 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, 2013 was $356 million.

Current and Long-Term Debt

        On May 19, 2011, the Company entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"). At December 31, 2013, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $405 million term loan, an 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €85 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016. During 2013, the Company repaid 51 million Australian dollars on Term Loan A, $120 million on Term Loan B, 20 million Canadian dollars on Term Loan C and €39 million on Term Loan D under the Agreement. At December 31, 2013, the Company had unused credit of $816 million available under the Agreement.

        The 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 junior payments, make certain asset sales within guidelines and limits, make capital expenditures beyond a certain threshold, engage in material transactions with shareholders and affiliates, participate in sale and leaseback financing arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain outstanding debt obligations.

        The Agreement also contains one financial maintenance covenant, a Leverage Ratio, that requires the Company to not exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, by Credit Agreement EBITDA, as defined in the Agreement. The 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 Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum of 4.0x.

        The Leverage Ratio does not conform to U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to amounts reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company uses the Leverage Ratio

37

---

to evaluate its liquidity and its compliance with its debt covenants. The Leverage Ratio for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

        Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request borrowings under the revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. If an event of default occurs under the Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the 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. A default or event of default under the 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.

        The Leverage Ratio also determines pricing under the Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Agreement is, at the Company's option, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Agreement. These rates include a margin linked to the Leverage Ratio. The margins range from 1.25% to 2.00% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum linked to the Leverage Ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2013 was 2.12%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Agreement. In addition, the Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

        Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real estate, of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All borrowings under the agreement are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the Company for the term of the 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 €215 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends through September 2016, subject to periodic renewal of backup credit lines. Information related to the Company's accounts receivable securitization program as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Cash Flows

        Free cash flow was $339 million for 2013 compared to $290 million for 2012. The Company defines free cash flow as cash provided by continuing operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow does not conform to U.S. GAAP and should not be construed as an alternative to the cash flow measures reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company uses free cash flow for internal reporting, forecasting and budgeting and believes this information allows the board of directors, management, investors and analysts to better understand the Company's financial performance. Free cash flow for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is calculated as follows (dollars in millions):

        Operating activities:    Cash provided by continuing operating activities was $700 million for 2013 compared to $580 million for 2012. The increase in cash flows from continuing operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in pension plan contributions of $123 million in 2013 compared to 2012. Working capital decreased $124 million in 2013 compared to $81 million in 2012, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable partially offset by a smaller decrease in accounts receivable. Cash provided by continuing operating activities also benefited from lower interest payments of $29 million and asbestos payments of $7 million, offset by an increase in cash paid for restructuring activities of $12 million and installment payments made in 2013 of $43 million related to a non-income tax assessment from a foreign tax authority.

        During 2013, the Company contributed $96 million to its defined benefit pension plans, compared with $219 million in 2012. The decrease in pension plan contributions in the current year was due to the Company making discretionary contributions of approximately $125 million in 2012, compared to $65 million of discretionary contributions in 2013. These discretionary contributions, along with other factors, have improved the funded status of the Company's pension plans and reduced required future contributions. In 2014, the Company may elect to continue to contribute amounts in excess of minimum required amounts in order to further improve the funded status of certain plans, and expects that the total contributions for all plans will be approximately $50 million.

        Investing activities:    Cash utilized in investing activities was $402 million for 2013 compared to $221 million for 2012. Capital spending for property, plant and equipment from continuing operations during 2013 was $361 million compared with $290 million in the prior year. The increase in capital spending was primarily due to additional planned spending related to the European Asset Optimization program. In 2013, the Company deconsolidated a subsidiary in Europe, resulting in a $32 million use of cash related to the subsidiary's cash on hand at the time of deconsolidation. Cash utilized in investing activities in 2013 included $16 million of loans made to noncontrolling partners in South America and Asia Pacific compared to $21 million of loans made in 2012. During 2012, the Company also received $85 million from the Chinese government as compensation for the land in China that the Company was required to return to the government.

39

---

        Financing activities:    Cash utilized in financing activities was $321 million for 2013 compared to $339 million for 2012. Financing activities in 2013 included repayments of long-term debt of $1,040 million, primarily related to the discharge of the €300 million senior notes due 2017, payments of $240 million on term loans under the Secured Credit Agreement and the repurchase of $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes, partially offset by additions to long-term debt of $768 million, primarily related to the issuance of the €330 million senior notes due 2021, and additions to short-term loans of $8 million. Financing activities in 2012 included repayments of long-term debt of $402 million, partially offset by additions to long-term debt of $119 million. The Company also repurchased shares of its common stock for $33 million in 2013 and $27 million in 2012. The Company received $25 million in 2013 from the exercise of stock options compared to $3 million in 2012.

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

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        The following information summarizes the Company's significant contractual cash obligations at December 31, 2013 (dollars in millions).

 

40

        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 11 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 property, plant and equipment, impairment of 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.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        The net carrying amount of property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") at December 31, 2013 totaled $2.6 billion, representing 31% of total assets. Depreciation expense during 2013 totaled $350 million, representing approximately 6% of total costs and expenses. Given the significance of PP&E and associated depreciation to the Company's consolidated financial statements, the determinations of an asset's cost basis and its economic useful life are considered to be critical accounting estimates.

        Cost Basis—PP&E is recorded at cost, which is generally objectively quantifiable when assets are purchased individually. However, when assets are purchased in groups, or as part of a business, costs assigned to PP&E are based on an estimate of fair value of each asset at the date of acquisition. These estimates are based on assumptions about asset condition, remaining useful life and market conditions,

41

---

among others. The Company frequently employs expert appraisers to aid in allocating cost among assets purchased as a group.

        Included in the cost basis of PP&E are those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. Significant judgment is needed to determine which costs should be capitalized under these criteria and which costs should be expensed as a repair or maintenance expenditure. For example, the Company frequently incurs various costs related to its existing glass melting furnaces and forming machines and must make a determination of which costs, if any, to capitalize. The Company relies on the experience and expertise of its operations and engineering staff to make reasonable and consistent judgments regarding increases in useful lives or capacity of PP&E.

        Estimated Useful Life—PP&E is generally depreciated using the straight-line method, which deducts equal amounts of the cost of each asset from earnings each period over its estimated economic useful life. Economic useful life is the duration of time an asset is expected to be productively employed by the Company, which may be less than its physical life. Management's assumptions regarding the following factors, among others, affect the determination of estimated economic useful life: wear and tear, product and process obsolescence, technical standards, and changes in market demand.

        The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine its appropriateness, especially in light of changed business circumstances. For example, technological advances, excessive wear and tear, or changes in customers' requirements may result in a shorter estimated useful life than originally anticipated. In these cases, the Company depreciates the remaining net book value over the new estimated remaining life, thereby increasing depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. Likewise, if the estimated useful life is increased, the adjustment to the useful life decreases depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. Changes in economic useful life assumptions did not have a material impact on the Company's reported results in 2013, 2012 or 2011.

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 property, plant and equipment 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.

        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 at December 31, 2013 totaled $2.1 billion, representing 24% of total assets. 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

42

---

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.

        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 South 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 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that no impairment of goodwill existed. The testing performed as of October 1, 2013, indicated a significant excess of BEV over book value for each unit that has goodwill. 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, 2013, 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. 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.

        The Company will monitor conditions throughout 2014 that might significantly affect the projections and variables used in 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 2014, 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—Other long-lived assets include, among others, equity investments and repair parts inventories. The Company's equity investments are non-publicly traded ventures with other companies in businesses related to those of the Company. Equity investments are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. In the event that a decline in fair value of an investment occurs, and the decline in value is considered to be other than temporary, an impairment loss is recognized. Summarized financial information of equity affiliates is included in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        The Company carries a significant amount of repair parts inventories in order to provide a dependable supply of quality parts for servicing the Company's PP&E, particularly its glass melting furnaces and forming machines. The Company evaluates the recoverability of repair parts inventories based on undiscounted projected cash flows, excluding interest and taxes, when factors indicate that impairment may exist. If impairment exists, the repair parts are written down to fair value. The Company continually monitors the carrying value of repair parts for recoverability, especially in light of

43

---

changing business circumstances. For example, technological advances related to, and changes in, the estimated future demand for products produced on the equipment to which the repair parts relate may make the repair parts obsolete. In these circumstances, the Company writes down the repair parts to fair value.

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, 2013, the weighted average discount rate was 4.81% and 4.14% 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 2014, the Company's estimated weighted average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 8.00% for U.S. plans and 6.01% for non-U.S. plans compared to 8.00% for U.S. plans and 6.34% for non-U.S. plans in 2013. The Company recorded pension expense from continuing operations of $60 million, $54 million, and $47 million for the U.S. plans in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, and $41 million, $38 million, and $44 million for the non-U.S. plans from its principal defined benefit pension plans. Depending on currency translation rates, the Company expects to record approximately $55 million of total pension expense for the full year of 2014.

        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 either the expected return on assets or discount rates used to calculate plan liabilities would result in a change of approximately $20 million in the pretax pension expense for the full year 2014.

        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 active employees or the average remaining expected life of inactive participants (if all, or almost all, of the plan's participants are inactive).

Contingencies and Litigation

        The Company believes that its ultimate asbestos-related liability (i.e., its indemnity payments or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot reasonably be estimated. The Company's ability to reasonably 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 magnitude and timing of co-defendant bankruptcy trust payments, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns, the expanding list of non-traditional defendants that have been sued in this litigation, and the use of mass litigation screenings to generate large numbers of claims by parties who allege exposure to asbestos dust but have no present physical asbestos impairment. The Company continues to monitor trends that may

44

---

affect its ultimate liability and continues to analyze the developments and variables affecting or likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against the Company.

        The Company conducts a comprehensive 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. If the results of an annual comprehensive review indicate that the existing amount of the accrued liability is insufficient to cover its estimated future asbestos-related costs, then the Company will record an appropriate charge to increase the accrued liability. The Company believes that a reasonable estimation of the probable amount of the liability for claims not yet asserted against the Company is not possible beyond a period of several years. Therefore, while the results of future annual comprehensive reviews cannot be determined, the Company expects the addition of one year to the estimation period will result in an annual charge.

        In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $145 million to increase its accrued liability for asbestos-related costs. This amount was lower than the 2012 charge of $155 million. The factors and developments that particularly affected the determination of the amount of the 2013 accrual included the following: (i) the rates and average disposition costs of new filings against the Company; (ii) the Company's successful litigation record; (iii) legislative developments and court rulings in several states; and (iv) the impact these and other factors had on the Company's valuation of existing and future claims.

        The Company's estimates are based on a number of factors as described further in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

        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.

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. Tax assessments may arise several years after tax returns have been filed. 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.

        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

45

---

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.

        In the U.S., the Company has experienced cumulative losses in previous years and has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2013, however, the Company's U.S. operations are in a three-year cumulative income position, but this is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company considered this factor and all other available positive and negative evidence and concluded that it is still more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. will not be realized, and accordingly continued to record a valuation allowance. The evidence considered included the magnitude of the current three-year cumulative income compared to historical losses, expected impact of tax planning strategies, interest rates, and the overall business environment. The Company continues to evaluate its cumulative income position and income trend as well as its future projections of sustained profitability and whether this profitability trend constitutes sufficient positive evidence to support a reversal of the valuation allowance (in full or in part). The amount of the valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. as of December 31, 2013 is $837 million.

        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

46

---

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.

ITEM 7A.    QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        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 and fluctuating energy prices. These instruments carry varying degrees of counterparty credit risk. To mitigate this risk, the Company has established limits on the exposure with individual counterparties and the Company regularly monitors these exposures. Substantially all of these exposures are with counterparties that are rated single-A or above.

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, South America (principally Colombia and Brazil), and Europe (principally Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and Poland). 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, 2013, 2012, and 2011, 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. 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. In those countries where the local currency is the designated functional currency, this strategy mitigates the risk of reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar. In those countries where the U.S. dollar is the designated functional currency, however, local currency borrowings expose the Company to reported losses or gains in the event the foreign currency strengthens or weakens against the U.S. dollar.

        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, 2013 and 2012.

47

---

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 12 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 following table provides information about the Company's interest rate sensitivity related to its significant debt obligations at December 31, 2013. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity date.

        The Company believes the near term exposure to interest rate risk of its debt obligations has not changed materially since December 31, 2012.

Commodity Price Risk

        The Company has exposure to commodity price risk, principally related to energy. In North America, the Company enters into commodity futures 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 futures 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, 2013, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts covering approximately 5,400,000 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 12 months or less.

        The Company believes the near term exposure to commodity price risk of its commodity futures contracts was not material at December 31, 2013.

Forward Looking Statements

        This document contains "forward looking" statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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,

48

---

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) foreign currency fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar, specifically the Euro, Brazilian real and Australian dollar, (2) changes in capital availability or cost, including interest rate fluctuations and the ability of the Company to refinance debt at favorable terms, (3) the general political, economic and competitive conditions in markets and countries where the Company has operations, including uncertainties related to the economic and social conditions in Australia, Europe and South America, disruptions in capital markets, disruptions in the supply chain, competitive pricing pressures, inflation or deflation, and changes in tax rates and laws, (4) consumer preferences for alternative forms of packaging, (5) cost and availability of raw materials, labor, energy and transportation, (6) the Company's ability to manage its cost structure, including its success in implementing restructuring plans and achieving cost savings, (7) consolidation among competitors and customers, (8) the ability of the Company to acquire businesses and expand plants, integrate operations of acquired businesses and achieve expected synergies, (9) unanticipated expenditures with respect to environmental, safety and health laws, (10) the Company's ability to further develop its sales, marketing and product development capabilities, and (11) the timing and occurrence of events which are beyond the control of the Company, including any expropriation of the Company's operations, floods and other natural disasters, events related to asbestos-related claims, and the other risk factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

        Basis of Consolidated Statements    The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Illinois, Inc. (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.

        Nature of Operations    The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company's principal product lines are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 21 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company's products are in Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific.

        Use of Estimates    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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.

        Foreign Currency Translation    The assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Any related translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in share owners' equity.

        Revenue Recognition    The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when 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.

        Shipping and Handling Costs    Shipping and handling costs are included with cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Results of Operations.

        Stock-Based Compensation    The Company has various stock-based compensation plans consisting 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.

        Accounts Receivable    Receivables are stated at amounts estimated by management to be the net realizable value. The Company charges off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that amounts will not be collected.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Allowance for Doubtful Accounts    The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to 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.

        Inventory Valuation    Inventories are valued at the lower of average costs or market.

        Goodwill    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.

        Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets    Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful 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.

        Property, Plant and Equipment    Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is carried at cost and 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.

        Derivative Instruments    The Company uses forward exchange contracts, options and commodity futures 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 short-term forward exchange contracts not designated as hedges are classified as a financing activity. Cash flows of commodity futures contracts are classified as operating activities.

        Fair Value Measurements    Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or 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.

        Reclassifications    Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

        New Accounting Standards    In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards exist. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 31, 2013. The Company elected to adopt this standard effective December 31, 2013. The adoption of this standard impacted how the Company presents certain of its unrecognized tax benefits on its balance sheet, with no impact to the results of operations or cash flows.

2. Segment Information

        The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations: Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific. 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 non-glass 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.

2. Segment Information (Continued)

        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.

        Financial information regarding the Company's reportable segments is as follows:

3. Receivables

        Receivables consist of the following at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        The Company uses various factoring programs to sell certain receivables to financial institutions as part of managing its cash flows. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount of receivables sold by the Company was $192 million and $141 million, respectively. The Company has no continuing involvement with the sold receivables.

5. Equity Investments (Continued)

        Summarized combined financial information for equity associates is as follows (unaudited):

 

        The Company's significant equity method investments include: (1) 50% of the common shares of Vetri Speciali SpA, a specialty glass manufacturer; (2) a 25% partnership interest in Tata Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners, a soda ash supplier; (3) a 50% partnership interest in Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, a glass container manufacturer; (4) a 50% partnership interest in BJC O-I Glass Pte. Ltd., a glass container manufacturer; and (5) 50% of the common shares of Vetrerie Meridionali SpA ("VeMe"), a glass container manufacturer. During the fourth quarter of 2013, changes were made to the VeMe joint venture agreement that resulted in the Company relinquishing control of the joint venture and, therefore, deconsolidating the entity. No gain or loss was recognized related to the deconsolidation as the fair value of the entity was equal to the carrying amount of the entity's assets and liabilities. The fair value, which the Company classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, was computed using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected future cash flows of the joint venture.

        There is a difference of approximately $13 million as of December 31, 2013 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.

6. Goodwill

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

        Goodwill for the Asia Pacific segment is net of accumulated impairment losses of $1,135 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

        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 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that no impairment existed. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its Asia Pacific segment. Lower projected cash flows, principally in the segment's Australian operations, caused the decline in the business enterprise value. The strong Australian dollar in 2011 resulted in many wine producers in the country exporting their wine in bulk shipments and bottling the wine closer to their end markets. This decreased the demand for wine bottles in Australia, which was a significant portion of the Company's sales in that country, and the Company expects this decreased demand to continue into the foreseeable future. Following a review of the valuation of the segment's identifiable assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $641 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.

7. Other Assets

        Other assets consist of the following at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        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 $14 million, $15 million and $11 million for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Estimated amortization related to capitalized software through 2018 is as follows: 2014, $17 million; 2015, $16 million; 2016, $13 million; 2017, $13 million; and 2018, $12 million.

8. Derivative Instruments

        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 Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

        In North America, the Company enters into commodity futures 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 futures 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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts covering approximately 5,400,000 MM BTUs and 7,000,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

        The Company accounts for the above futures contracts as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2013 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

66

8. Derivative Instruments (Continued)

hedged item affects earnings. An unrecognized gain of $1 million at December 31, 2013 and an unrecognized loss of $1 million at December 31, 2012 related to the commodity futures 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, 2013 and 2012 was not material.

        The effect of the commodity futures contracts on the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Senior Notes Designated as Net Investment Hedge

        During December 2004, a U.S. subsidiary of the Company issued senior notes totaling €225 million. These notes were designated by the Company's subsidiary as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in a non-U.S. subsidiary with a Euro functional currency. Because the amount of the senior notes matched the hedged portion of the net investment, there was no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the impact of changes in the foreign currency exchange rate on the Euro-denominated notes in OCI. The amount of loss recognized in OCI related to this net investment hedge for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $25 million. During the second quarter of 2011, the senior notes designated as the net investment hedge were redeemed by a subsidiary of the Company. The amount recorded in OCI related to this net investment hedge will be reclassified into earnings when the Company sells or liquidates its net investment in the non-U.S. subsidiary.

Forward Exchange Contracts 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 and payables, 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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding forward exchange and option agreements denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $550 million and $750 million, respectively, related primarily to intercompany transactions and loans.

        The effect of the forward exchange contracts on the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

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. The following table shows the amount and classification (as noted above) of the Company's derivatives as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

9. Restructuring Accruals, Asset Impairments and Other Costs Related to Closed Facilities

        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 and reduce future expenses. 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.

9. Restructuring Accruals, Asset Impairments and Other Costs Related to Closed Facilities (Continued)

        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. When charges related to major programs are completed, remaining accrual balances are classified with Other Restructuring Actions.

European Asset Optimization

        In 2011, the Company implemented 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 involves making additional investments in certain facilities and addressing assets with higher cost structures. As part of this program, the Company recorded charges of $16 million in 2013, $86 million in 2012 and $24 million in 2011 for employee costs, asset impairments and environmental remediation related to decisions to close furnaces and manufacturing facilities in Europe. The Company expects to execute further actions under this program in phases over the next several years.

Asia Pacific Restructuring

        In 2011, the Company 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 $49 million, $47 million and $46 million for the years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for employee costs and asset impairments related to furnace closures and additional restructuring activities.

Other Restructuring Actions

        The Company took certain other restructuring actions and recorded charges in 2013 of $16 million for employee costs related to the closure of flat glass operations in South America, $13 million for employee costs related to global headcount reduction initiatives and $3 million for miscellaneous other costs. In 2012, the Company recorded charges of $13 million for employee costs and asset impairments

related to a decision to close a machine manufacturing facility in the U.S., $7 million for employee costs and asset impairments related to a decision to close a mold shop in South America and $15 million for miscellaneous other costs. In 2011, the Company recorded charges of $13 million related to headcount reductions, primarily in Europe and South America, and $12 million for an asset impairment related to a previously closed facility in Europe.

        The beginning accrual balance for other restructuring actions as of January 1, 2012 primarily relates to the Company's strategic review of its global manufacturing footprint completed in 2010.

        The following table presents information related to restructuring, asset impairment and other costs related to closed facilities:

        The restructuring accrual balance represents the Company's estimates of the remaining future cash amounts to be paid related to the actions noted above. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's estimates include approximately $71 million for severance and related benefits costs, $27 million for environmental remediation costs, and $16 million for other exit costs. The 2012 charges include approximately $14 million related to environmental remediation costs at a closed facility in Europe.

10. Pension Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

Pension Benefit Plans

        The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering a substantial number of employees located in the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia, as well as many employees in Germany, France and Switzerland. 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 changes in the pension benefit obligations for the year are as follows:

        The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $4,015 million and $4,298 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        The components of the net pension expense for the year are as follows:

        The U.S. pension expense excludes $8 million of special termination benefits that were recorded in discontinued operations in 2013. The U.S. pension expense excludes $4 million of special termination benefits that were recorded in restructuring expense in 2012. The non-U.S. pension expense excludes $6 million and $11 million of pension settlement costs that were recorded in restructuring expense in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        Amounts that are expected to be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income into net pension expense during 2014:

        The following information is for plans with projected and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets at year end:

        The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations are as follows:

        The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension costs are as follows:

        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. Amortization included in net pension expense is based on the average remaining service of employees.

        For 2013, the Company's weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.00% for the U.S. plans and 6.34% for the non-U.S. plans. In developing this assumption, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. The Company also considered its historical

10-year average return (through December 31, 2012), which was in line with the expected long-term rate of return assumption for 2013.

        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.

        The Company's U.S. pension plan assets held in the group trust are classified as Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy. The total U.S. plan assets amounted to $2,273 million and $2,175 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and consisted of approximately 72% equity securities and 28% debt securities. 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, 2013 and 2012:

        The following is a reconciliation of the Company's pension plan assets recorded at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

10. Pension Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits (Continued)

        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 2013.

        In order to maintain minimum funding requirements, the Company is required to make contributions to its defined benefit pension plans of approximately $30 million in 2014.

        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. Participation is voluntary and 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 $8 million in 2013, $7 million in 2012, and $8 million in 2011.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

        The Company provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees, and substantially all employees in Canada. 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.

Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $6 million in each of the years 2013, 2012 and 2011. 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.

11. Income Taxes (Continued)

        Deferred taxes are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 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.

        At December 31, 2013, before valuation allowance, the Company had unused foreign tax credits of $356 million expiring in 2017 through 2022, research tax credit of $20 million expiring from 2014 to 2033, and alternative minimum tax credits of $26 million which do not expire and which will be available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. Approximately $164 million of the deferred tax assets related to operating and capital loss carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely, with the remaining $325 million expiring between 2014 and 2031.

        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.

        In the U.S., the Company has experienced cumulative losses in previous years and has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. As of December 31, 2013, however, the Company's U.S. operations are in a three-year cumulative income position, but this is not solely determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. The Company considered this factor and all other available positive and negative evidence and concluded that it is still more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets in the U.S. will not be realized, and accordingly continued to record a valuation allowance. The evidence considered included the magnitude of the current three-year cumulative income compared to historical losses, expected impact of tax planning strategies, interest rates, and the overall business environment. The Company continues to evaluate its cumulative income position and income trend as well as its future projections of sustained profitability and whether this profitability trend constitutes sufficient positive evidence to support a reversal of the valuation allowance (in full or in part). The amount of the valuation allowance recorded in the U.S. as of December 31, 2013 is $837 million.

        At December 31, 2013, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $3.2 billion. The Company intends to

reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations and has not distributed any of these earnings to the U.S. in 2013, 2012 or 2011. 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 has recognized tax benefits as a result of incentives in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions which expire between 2014 and 2016.

        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, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

        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 $20 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, Australia, Ecuador, Germany, and Italy. The years under examination range from 2005 through 2012. The Company believes that there are no jurisdictions in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company further believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have been made. During 2013, the Company concluded audits in several jurisdictions, including Czech Republic, France, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom.

12. Debt

        The following table summarizes the long-term debt of the Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        On May 19, 2011, the Company entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"). At December 31, 2013, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $405 million term loan, an 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €85 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016. During 2013, the Company repaid 51 million Australian dollars on Term Loan A, $120 million on Term Loan B, 20 million Canadian dollars on Term Loan C and €39 million on Term Loan D under the Agreement. At December 31, 2013, the Company had unused credit of $816 million available under the Agreement.

        The 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 junior payments, make certain asset sales within guidelines and limits, make capital expenditures beyond a certain threshold, engage in material transactions with shareholders and affiliates, participate in sale and leaseback financing arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain outstanding debt obligations.

        The Agreement also contains one financial maintenance covenant, a Leverage Ratio, that requires the Company not to exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Agreement. The Leverage Ratio

84

Tabular data dollars in millions, except per share amounts

12. Debt (Continued)

could restrict the ability of the Company to undertake additional financing or acquisitions to the extent that such financing or acquisitions would cause the Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum.

        Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request borrowings under the revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. If an event of default occurs under the Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the 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. A default or event of default under the 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.

        The Leverage Ratio also determines pricing under the Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Agreement is, at the Company's option, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Agreement. These rates include a margin linked to the Leverage Ratio. The margins range from 1.25% to 2.00% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum linked to the Leverage Ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2013 was 2.12%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Agreement. In addition, the Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

        Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real estate, of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All borrowings under the agreement are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the Company for the term of the Agreement.

        During March 2013, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €330 million due March 31, 2021. The notes bear interest at 4.875% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $418 million.

        During March 2013, the Company discharged, in accordance with the indenture, all €300 million of the 6.875% senior notes due 2017. The Company recorded $11 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

        During May 2010, a subsidiary of the Company issued exchangeable senior notes with a face value of $690 million due June 1, 2015 ("2015 Exchangeable Notes"). The 2015 Exchangeable Notes bear interest at 3.00% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

        Upon exchange of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes, under the terms outlined below, the issuer of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes is required to settle the principal amount in cash and the Company is required to settle the exchange premium in shares of the Company's common stock. The exchange premium is calculated as the value of the Company's common stock in excess of the initial exchange

price of approximately $47.47 per share, which is equivalent to an exchange rate of 21.0642 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The exchange rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, such as certain distributions, dividends or issuances of cash, stock, options, warrants or other property or effecting a share split, or a significant change in the ownership or structure of the Company, such as a recapitalization or reclassification of the Company's common stock, a merger or consolidation involving the Company or the sale or conveyance to another person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries substantially as an entirety.

        Prior to March 1, 2015, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged only if (1) the price of the Company's common stock exceeds $61.71 (130% of the exchange price) for a specified period of time, (2) the trading price of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes falls below 98% of the average exchange value of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes for a specified period of time (trading price was 139% of exchange value at December 31, 2013), or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The 2015 Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged without restrictions on or after March 1, 2015. As of December 31, 2013, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes are not exchangeable by the holders.

        The value of the exchange feature of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes was computed using the Company's non-exchangeable debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance of 6.15% and was accounted for as a debt discount and a corresponding increase to share owners' equity.

        During 2013, the Company repurchased $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The amount by which the cash paid exceeded the fair value of the notes repurchased was recorded as a reduction to share owners' equity. The Company recorded $3 million of additional interest charges for the loss on debt extinguishment and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

        The carrying values of the liability and equity components at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

        The debt discount is being amortized over the life of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The amount of interest expense recognized on the 2015 Exchangeable Notes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

        During 2011, the Company recorded additional interest charges of $25 million for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees related to debt that was repaid prior to maturity.

        The Company has a €215 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends through September 2016, subject to periodic renewal of backup credit lines. Information related to the Company's accounts receivable securitization program as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

        As of December 31, 2013, the Company has capital lease obligations of $37 million included in other in the long-term debt table above.

        Annual maturities for all of the Company's long-term debt through 2018 are as follows: 2014, $16 million; 2015, $984 million; 2016, $877 million; 2017, $4 million; and 2018, $255 million.

        Fair values at December 31, 2013, of the Company's significant fixed rate debt obligations are as follows:

13. Contingencies

Asbestos

        The Company is a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging bodily injury and death as a result of exposure to asbestos dust. 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 pipe and block 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").

        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

87

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Tabular data dollars in millions, except per share amounts

13. Contingencies (Continued)

disposed of during that year, the year's filings and the claims pending at the end of each listed year (eliminating duplicate filings):

        Based on an analysis of the lawsuits pending as of December 31, 2013, approximately 80% 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 16% 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 $100 million. Fewer than 1% of plaintiffs specifically plead damages equal to or greater than $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 that may be 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 severity of the plaintiff's asbestos disease, the product identification evidence against the Company and other defendants, the defenses available to the Company and other defendants, the specific jurisdiction in which the claim is made, and the plaintiff's medical history and exposure to other disease-causing agents.

        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, 2013, has disposed of the asbestos claims of approximately 393,000 plaintiffs and claimants at an average indemnity payment per claim of approximately $8,600. Certain of these dispositions have included deferred amounts payable over a number of years. Deferred amounts payable totaled approximately $12 million at December 31, 2013 ($24 million at December 31, 2012) and are included in the foregoing average indemnity payment per claim. The Company's asbestos indemnity payments have varied on a per claim basis, and are

88

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

13. Contingencies (Continued)

expected to continue to vary considerably over time. As discussed above, a part of 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 marginal or suspect claims that would otherwise have been received. In addition, certain courts and legislatures have reduced or eliminated the number of marginal or suspect claims that the Company otherwise would have received. These developments generally have had the effect of increasing the Company's per-claim average indemnity payment over time.

        The Company believes that its ultimate asbestos-related liability (i.e., its indemnity payments or other claim disposition costs plus related legal fees) cannot reasonably be estimated. Beginning with the initial liability of $975 million established in 1993, the Company has accrued a total of approximately $4.3 billion through 2013, before insurance recoveries, for its asbestos-related liability. The Company's ability to reasonably 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 magnitude and timing of co-defendant bankruptcy trust payments, the inherent uncertainty of future disease incidence and claiming patterns against the Company, and the success of efforts by co-defendants to restrict or eliminate their liability in the litigation.

        The Company has continued to monitor trends that may affect its ultimate liability and has continued to analyze the developments and variables affecting or likely to affect the resolution of pending and future asbestos claims against the Company. The material components of the Company's accrued liability are based on amounts determined by the Company in connection with its annual comprehensive 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, but which the Company believes will be asserted in the next several years; and (iii) the legal defense costs likely to be incurred in connection with the foregoing types of claims.

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

a)

the extent to which settlements are limited to claimants who were exposed to the Company's asbestos-containing insulation prior to its exit from that business in 1958;



b)

the extent to which claims are resolved under the Company's administrative claims agreements or on terms comparable to those set forth in those agreements;



c)

the extent of decrease or increase in the incidence of serious disease cases and claiming patterns for such cases;



d)

the extent to which the Company is able to defend itself successfully at trial or on appeal;



e)

the number and timing of additional co-defendant bankruptcies; and



f)

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

        As noted above, the Company conducts a comprehensive review of its asbestos-related liabilities and costs annually in connection with finalizing and reporting its annual results of operations, unless

89

Owens-Illinois, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Tabular data dollars in millions, except per share amounts

13. Contingencies (Continued)

significant changes in trends or new developments warrant an earlier review. If the results of an annual comprehensive review indicate that the existing amount of the accrued liability is insufficient to cover its estimated future asbestos-related costs, then the Company will record an appropriate charge to increase the accrued liability. The Company believes that a reasonable estimation of the probable amount of the liability for claims not yet asserted against the Company is not possible beyond a period of several years. Therefore, while the results of future annual comprehensive reviews cannot be determined, the Company expects the addition of one year to the estimation period will result in an annual charge.

        The Company's reported results of operations for 2013 were materially affected by the $145 million fourth quarter charge for asbestos-related costs and asbestos-related payments continue to be substantial. Any future additional charge would likewise materially affect the Company's results of operations for the period in which it is recorded. Also, 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 and its ability to pursue global or domestic acquisitions. However, the Company believes that its operating cash flows and other sources of liquidity will be sufficient to pay its obligations for asbestos-related costs and to fund its working capital and capital expenditure requirements on a short-term and long-term basis.

Other Matters

        The Company conducted an internal investigation into conduct in certain of its overseas operations that may have violated the anti-bribery provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"), the FCPA's books and records and internal controls provisions, the Company's own internal policies, and various local laws. In October 2012, the Company voluntarily disclosed these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

        On July 18, 2013, the Company received a letter from the DOJ indicating that it presently did not intend to take any enforcement action and is closing its inquiry into the matter.

        The Company is presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of an investigation by the SEC, if any, or whether the SEC will commence any legal action. The SEC has a broad range of civil sanctions under the FCPA and other laws and regulations including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, penalties, and modifications to business practices. The Company could also be subject to investigation and sanctions outside the United States. While the Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of any potential sanctions or remedial measures, it does not expect such actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

        The Company received a non-income tax assessment from a foreign tax authority for approximately $90 million (including penalties and interest). The Company challenged this assessment, but the tax authority's position was upheld in court. The Company strongly disagrees with this ruling and believes it to be contradictory to other court rulings in the Company's favor. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, it believes that it is probable that the tax authority's assessment will be overturned by a higher court, and therefore, the Company has not established an accrual. In order to contest the lower court rulings, legal rules require the Company to

90

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

13. Contingencies (Continued)

deposit the amount of the tax assessment, which will be remitted in monthly installments over the next twenty-four months. A favorable ruling by the higher court will result in a return to the Company of amounts paid. An unfavorable ruling will result in the forfeiture of the deposit, a charge of approximately $60 million and a non-income tax refund of $30 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has made installment payments totaling $43 million, which is included in Other assets on the balance sheet.

        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.

14. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        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 following table lists the beginning balance, annual activity and ending balance of each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):

15. Stock Options and Other Stock Based Compensation

        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, 2013, there were 4,644,000 shares available for grants under these plans. Total compensation cost for all grants of shares and units under these plans was $11 million, $11 million and $1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The expense in 2011 was decreased as a result of adjustments made to performance vested restricted share units due to actual and expected attainment of performance goals.

Stock Options

        Options granted prior to March 22, 2005, all of which are exercisable, expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant.

        For options granted after March 21, 2005, no options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to change in control, these options become exercisable 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary. 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.

        Stock option information at December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended is as follows:

        Certain additional information related to stock options is as follows for the periods indicated:

15. Stock Options and Other Stock Based Compensation (Continued)

        The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted average assumptions:

        The expected life of options is determined from historical exercise and termination data. The expected stock price volatility is determined by reference to historical prices over a period equal to the expected life.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

        Shares granted to employees prior to March 22, 2005, generally vest after three years or upon retirement, whichever is later. 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. 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 granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

        The activity of restricted shares and restricted share units is as follows:

15. Stock Options and Other Stock Based Compensation (Continued)

 

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.

        Performance vested restricted share unit activity is as follows:

        110,000 shares were issued in 2013 with a fair value at issuance date of $3 million related to performance vested restricted share units.

        As of December 31, 2013, there was $16 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.

16. Other Expense

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 included the following:

•

The Company recorded charges totaling $97 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. See Note 9 for additional information.



•

The Company recorded charges totaling $22 million for asset impairment related to the Company's operations in Argentina, due primarily to macroeconomic issues in that country. The Company wrote down the value of these assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The fair value of the assets was computed based on estimated future cash flows. The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.



•

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $145 million to increase the accrual for estimated future asbestos-related costs as a result of the findings from the annual review of asbestos-related liabilities. See Note 13 for additional information.



•

Aggregate foreign currency exchange losses included in other expense were $9 million in 2013.

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 included the following:

Aggregate foreign currency exchange losses included in other expense were $8 million in 2012.

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 included the following:

•

The Company recorded charges totaling $95 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. See Note 9 for additional information.



•

The Company recorded charges totaling $17 million for asset impairment, primarily due to the write down of asset values related to a 2010 acquisition in China as a result of integration challenges. The Company wrote down the value of these assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.



•

The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $641 million related to its Asia Pacific segment. See Note 6 for additional information.

Aggregate foreign currency exchange losses included in other expense were $6 million in 2011.

17. Operating Leases

        Rent expense attributable to all warehouse, office buildings and equipment operating leases was $57 million in 2013, $76 million in 2012, and $89 million in 2011. Minimum future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2014, $50 million; 2015, $36 million; 2016, $30 million; 2017, $26 million; 2018, $21 million; and 2019 and thereafter, $48 million.

18. Earnings Per Share

        The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

        Options to purchase 1,315,216 and 2,125,963 weighted average shares of common stock which were outstanding during 2013 and 2012, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares. For the year ended December 31, 2011, diluted earnings per share of common stock was equal to basic earnings per share of common stock due to the loss from continuing operations.

18. Earnings Per Share (Continued)

        The 2015 Exchangeable Notes have a dilutive effect only in those periods in which the Company's average stock price exceeds the exchange price of $47.47 per share. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company's average stock price did not exceed the exchange price. Therefore, the potentially issuable shares resulting from the settlement of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. See Note 12 for additional information on the 2015 Exchangeable Notes.

19. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

        Changes in the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows:

        Interest paid in cash, including note repurchase premiums, aggregated $205 million for 2013, $234 million for 2012, and $274 million for 2011.

        Income taxes paid in cash were as follows:

20. Business Combinations

        On August 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Verrerie du Languedoc SAS, a single-furnace glass container plant in Vergeze, France. The Vergeze plant is located near the Nestle Waters' Perrier bottling facility and has a long-standing supply relationship with Nestle Waters.

        On May 31, 2011, the Company acquired the noncontrolling interest in its southern Brazil operations for approximately $140 million.

        The acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, did not meet the thresholds for a significant acquisition and therefore no pro forma financial information is presented.

21. Discontinued Operations

        On October 26, 2010, the Venezuelan government, through Presidential Decree No. 7.751, expropriated the assets of Owens-Illinois de Venezuela and Fabrica de Vidrios Los Andes, C.A., two of the Company's subsidiaries in that country, which in effect constituted a taking of the going concerns of those companies. Shortly after the issuance of the decree, the Venezuelan government installed temporary administrative boards to control the expropriated assets.

        Since the issuance of the decree, the Company has cooperated with the Venezuelan government, as it is compelled to do under Venezuelan law, to provide for an orderly transition while ensuring the safety and well-being of the employees and the integrity of the production facilities. The Company has been engaged in negotiations with the Venezuelan government in relation to certain aspects of the expropriation, including the compensation payable by the government as a result of its expropriation. On September 26, 2011, the Company, having been unable to reach an agreement with the Venezuelan government regarding fair compensation, commenced an arbitration against Venezuela through the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. The Company is unable at this stage to predict the amount, or timing of receipt, of compensation it will ultimately receive, and will record any such compensation as a gain from discontinued operations when received.

        The loss from discontinued operations of $18 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes $8 million of special termination benefits related to a previously disposed business and $10 million for ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

22. Financial Information for Subsidiary Guarantors and Non-Guarantors

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        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

106

---

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 design and operation 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, 2013.

        Management concluded that the Company's system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013. 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 any change in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting. The Company is undertaking the phased implementation of an Enterprise Resource Planning software system. The phased implementation commenced in the South America segment during 2013, resulting in changes to certain processes in that segment. The Company believes it is maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period and further believes that its internal control environment will be enhanced as a result of implementation. There have been no other changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the Company's most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to material affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

        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, 2013. 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 1992.

        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, 2013.

        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.

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, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 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, 2013, 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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013 and our report dated February 13, 2014 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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013. 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, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

        Basis of Consolidated Statements    The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. (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.

        Relationship with Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. and Owens-Illinois, Inc.    The Company is a 100%-owned 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.

        Nature of Operations    The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company's principal product lines are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 21 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company's products are in Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific.

        Use of Estimates    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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.

        Foreign Currency Translation    The assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Any related translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in share owners' equity.

        Revenue Recognition    The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when 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.

        Shipping and Handling Costs    Shipping and handling costs are included with cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Results of Operations.

        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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Accounts Receivable    Receivables are stated at amounts estimated by management to be the net realizable value. The Company charges off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that amounts will not be collected.

        Allowance for Doubtful Accounts    The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to 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.

        Inventory Valuation    Inventories are valued at the lower of average costs or market.

        Goodwill    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.

        Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets    Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful 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.

        Property, Plant and Equipment    Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is carried at cost and 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.

        Derivative Instruments    The Company uses forward exchange contracts, options and commodity futures 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 short-term forward exchange contracts not designated as hedges are classified as a financing activity. Cash flows of commodity futures contracts are classified as operating activities.

        Fair Value Measurements    Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or 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 defined 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.

        Reclassifications    Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

        New Accounting Standards    In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards exist. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 31, 2013. The Company elected to adopt this standard effective December 31, 2013. The adoption of this standard impacted how the Company presents certain of its unrecognized tax benefits on its balance sheet, with no impact to the results of operations or cash flows.

        Participation in OI Inc. Stock Option Plans and Other Stock Based Compensation    The Company 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

        Options granted prior to March 22, 2005, all of which are exercisable, expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant.

        For options granted after March 21, 2005, no options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to change in control, these options become exercisable 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the seventh anniversary of the option grant. The fair value of options granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

        Shares granted to employees prior to March 22, 2005, generally vest after three years or upon retirement, whichever is later. 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 OI Inc.'s common stock for each unit. Granted but unvested restricted share units are forfeited upon termination, unless certain retirement criteria are met.

        The fair value of the restricted shares and restricted share units is equal to the market price of OI Inc.'s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted shares granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units granted after March 21, 2005, 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 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.

2. Segment Information

        The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations: Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific. 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 Other. These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, and non-glass equity investments.

        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.

        Financial information regarding the Company's reportable segments is as follows:

5. Equity Investments

        Summarized information pertaining to the Company's equity associates follows:

        Summarized combined financial information for equity associates is as follows (unaudited):

 

        The Company's significant equity method investments include: (1) 50% of the common shares of Vetri Speciali SpA, a specialty glass manufacturer; (2) a 25% partnership interest in Tata Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners, a soda ash supplier; (3) a 50% partnership interest in Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, a glass container manufacturer; (4) a 50% partnership interest in BJC O-I Glass Pte. Ltd., a glass container manufacturer; and (5) 50% of the common shares of Vetrerie Meridionali SpA ("VeMe"), a glass container manufacturer. During the fourth quarter of 2013, changes were made to the VeMe joint venture agreement that resulted in the Company relinquishing control of the joint venture and, therefore, deconsolidating the entity. No gain or loss was recognized related to the deconsolidation as the fair value of the entity was equal to the carrying amount of the entity's assets and liabilities. The fair value, which the Company classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, was computed using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected future cash flows of the joint venture.

5. Equity Investments (Continued)

        There is a difference of approximately $13 million as of December 31, 2013 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.

6. Goodwill

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

        Goodwill for the Asia Pacific segment is net of accumulated impairment losses of $1,135 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

        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 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that no impairment existed. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its Asia Pacific segment. Lower projected cash flows, principally in the segment's Australian operations, caused the decline in the business enterprise value. The strong Australian dollar in 2011 resulted in many wine producers in the country exporting their wine in bulk shipments and bottling the wine closer to their end markets. This decreased the demand for wine bottles in Australia, which was a significant portion of the Company's sales in that country, and the Company expects this decreased demand to continue

into the foreseeable future. Following a review of the valuation of the segment's identifiable assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $641 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.

7. Other Assets

        Other assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

8. Derivative Instruments

        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 Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

        In North America, the Company enters into commodity futures 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 futures 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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts covering approximately 5,400,000 MM BTUs and 7,000,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

        The Company accounts for the above futures contracts as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2013 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 $1 million at December 31, 2013 and an

unrecognized loss of $1 million at December 31, 2012 related to the commodity futures 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, 2013 and 2012 was not material.

        The effect of the commodity futures contracts on the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Senior Notes Designated as Net Investment Hedge

        During December 2004, a U.S. subsidiary of the Company issued senior notes totaling €225 million. These notes were designated by the Company's subsidiary as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in a non-U.S. subsidiary with a Euro functional currency. Because the amount of the senior notes matched the hedged portion of the net investment, there was no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the impact of changes in the foreign currency exchange rate on the Euro-denominated notes in OCI. The amount of loss recognized in OCI related to this net investment hedge for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $25 million. During the second quarter of 2011, the senior notes designated as the net investment hedge were redeemed by a subsidiary of the Company. The amount recorded in OCI related to this net investment hedge will be reclassified into earnings when the Company sells or liquidates its net investment in the non-U.S. subsidiary.

Forward Exchange Contracts 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 and payables, 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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding forward exchange and option agreements denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $550 million and $750 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. The following table shows the amount and classification (as noted above) of the Company's derivatives as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

9. Restructuring Accruals, Asset Impairments and Other Costs Related to Closed Facilities

        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 and reduce future expenses. 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.

9. Restructuring Accruals, Asset Impairments and Other Costs Related to Closed Facilities (Continued)

        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. When charges related to major programs are completed, remaining accrual balances are classified with Other Restructuring Actions.

European Asset Optimization

        In 2011, the Company implemented 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 involves making additional investments in certain facilities and addressing assets with higher cost structures. As part of this program, the Company recorded charges of $16 million in 2013, $86 million in 2012 and $24 million in 2011 for employee costs, asset impairments and environmental remediation related to decisions to close furnaces and manufacturing facilities in Europe. The Company expects to execute further actions under this program in phases over the next several years.

Asia Pacific Restructuring

        In 2011, the Company 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 $49 million, $47 million and $46 million for the years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for employee costs and asset impairments related to furnace closures and additional restructuring activities.

Other Restructuring Actions

        The Company took certain other restructuring actions and recorded charges in 2013 of $16 million for employee costs related to the closure of flat glass operations in South America, $13 million for employee costs related to global headcount reduction initiatives and $3 million for miscellaneous other costs. In 2012, the Company recorded charges of $13 million for employee costs and asset impairments

related to a decision to close a machine manufacturing facility in the U.S., $7 million for employee costs and asset impairments related to a decision to close a mold shop in South America and $15 million for miscellaneous other costs. In 2011, the Company recorded charges of $13 million related to headcount reductions, primarily in Europe and South America, and $12 million for an asset impairment related to a previously closed facility in Europe.

        The beginning accrual balance for other restructuring actions as of January 1, 2012 primarily relates to the Company's strategic review of its global manufacturing footprint completed in 2010.

        The following table presents information related to restructuring, asset impairment and other costs related to closed facilities:

        The restructuring accrual balance represents the Company's estimates of the remaining future cash amounts to be paid related to the actions noted above. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's estimates include approximately $69 million for severance and related benefits costs, $27 million for environmental remediation costs, and $16 million for other exit costs. The 2012 charges include approximately $14 million related to environmental remediation costs at a closed facility in Europe.

10. Pension Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

Pension Benefit Plans

        The Company participates in OI Inc.'s defined benefit pension plans for substantially all 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 $48 million in 2013, $20 million in 2012 and $37 million in 2011.

        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 $7 million in 2013, $6 million in 2012 and $7 million in 2011.

        The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering a substantial number of employees located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia, as well as many employees in Germany, France and Switzerland. 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 information is for plans with projected and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets at year end:

        The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations were as follows:

        The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension costs were as follows:

        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. Amortization included in net pension expense is based on the average remaining service of employees.

        For 2013, the Company's weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 6.34% . In developing this assumption, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. The Company also considered its historical 10-year average return (through December 31, 2012), which was in line with the expected long-term rate of return assumption for 2013.

        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 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.

        The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        The following is a reconciliation of the Company's pension plan assets recorded at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

        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 2013.

        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 $30 million in 2014.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

        OI Inc. provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees and substantially all employees in Canada. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Independent actuaries determine postretirement benefit costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc.; however, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation information pertaining to each subsidiary has not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc.

        The Company's net periodic postretirement benefit cost, as allocated by OI Inc., for domestic employees was $3 million, $6 million, and $6 million at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

        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, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

11. Income Taxes (Continued)

        Deferred taxes are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 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, 2013, before valuation allowance, the Company had unused foreign tax credits of $356 million expiring in 2017 through 2022, research tax credit of $20 million expiring from 2014 to 2033, and alternative minimum tax credits of $9 million which do not expire and which will be available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. Approximately $164 million of the deferred tax assets related to operating and capital loss carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely, with the remaining $186 million expiring between 2014 and 2030.

        At December 31, 2013, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $3.2 billion. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations and has not distributed any of these earnings to the U.S. in 2013, 2012 or 2011. 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 has recognized tax benefits as a result of incentives in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions which expire between 2014 and 2016.

11. Income Taxes (Continued)

        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, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

        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 reasonable possible that the estimated liability could decrease up to $20 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, Australia, Ecuador, Germany, and Italy. The years under examination range from 2005 through 2012. The Company believes that there are no jurisdictions in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company further believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have been made. During 2013, the Company concluded audits in several jurisdictions, including Czech Republic, France, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom.

12. External Debt

        The following table summarizes the external long-term debt of the Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        On May 19, 2011, the Company entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"). At December 31, 2013, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $405 million term loan, an 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €85 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016. During 2013, the Company repaid 51 million Australian dollars on Term Loan A, $120 million on Term Loan B, 20 million Canadian dollars on Term Loan C and €39 million on Term Loan D under the Agreement. At December 31, 2013, the Company had unused credit of $816 million available under the Agreement.

        The 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 junior payments, make certain asset sales within guidelines and limits, make capital expenditures beyond a certain threshold, engage in material transactions with shareholders and affiliates, participate in sale and leaseback financing arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain outstanding debt obligations.

        The Agreement also contains one financial maintenance covenant, a Leverage Ratio, that requires the Company not to exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Agreement. The 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 Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum.

12. External Debt (Continued)

        Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request borrowings under the revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. If an event of default occurs under the Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the 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. A default or event of default under the 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.

        The Leverage Ratio also determines pricing under the Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Agreement is, at the Company's option, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Agreement. These rates include a margin linked to the Leverage Ratio. The margins range from 1.25% to 2.00% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum linked to the Leverage Ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2013 was 2.12%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Agreement. In addition, the Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

        Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real estate, of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All borrowings under the agreement are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the Company for the term of the Agreement.

        During March 2013, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €330 million due March 31, 2021. The notes bear interest at 4.875% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $418 million.

        During March 2013, the Company discharged, in accordance with the indenture, all €300 million of the 6.875% senior notes due 2017. The Company recorded $11 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

        During May 2010, a subsidiary of the Company issued exchangeable senior notes with a face value of $690 million due June 1, 2015 ("2015 Exchangeable Notes"). The 2015 Exchangeable Notes bear interest at 3.00% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

        Upon exchange of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes, under the terms outlined below, the issuer of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes is required to settle the principal amount in cash and OI Inc. is required to settle the exchange premium in shares of OI Inc.'s common stock. The exchange premium is calculated as the value of OI Inc.'s common stock in excess of the initial exchange price of approximately $47.47 per share, which is equivalent to an exchange rate of 21.0642 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The exchange rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, such as certain distributions, dividends or issuances of cash, stock, options, warrants or other property or

effecting a share split, or a significant change in the ownership or structure of the Company or OI Inc., such as a recapitalization or reclassification of OI Inc.'s common stock, a merger or consolidation involving the Company or the sale or conveyance to another person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries substantially as an entirety.

        Prior to March 1, 2015, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged only if (1) the price of OI Inc.'s common stock exceeds $61.71 (130% of the exchange price) for a specified period of time, (2) the trading price of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes falls below 98% of the average exchange value of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes for a specified period of time (trading price was 139% of exchange value at December 31, 2012), or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The 2015 Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged without restrictions on or after March 1, 2015. As of December 31, 2013, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes are not exchangeable by the holders.

        For accounting purposes, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes are considered to be non-exchangeable since OI Inc. is directly responsible for settling the exchange premium, if any. The issuer's obligation with respect to the instrument is limited to only the payment of interest and principal. The value of OI Inc.'s obligation to holders of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes was computed using the Company's non-exchangeable debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance of 6.15% and was accounted for as a debt discount and a corresponding capital contribution.

        During 2013, the Company repurchased $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The amount by which the cash paid exceeded the fair value of the notes repurchased was recorded as a reduction to share owners' equity. The Company recorded $3 million of additional interest charges for the loss on debt extinguishment and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

        The carrying values of the liability and equity components at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

        The debt discount is being amortized over the life of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The amount of interest expense recognized on the 2015 Exchangeable Notes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

        During 2011, the Company recorded additional interest charges of $25 million for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees related to debt that was repaid prior to maturity.

        The Company has a €215 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends through September 2016, subject to annual renewal of backup credit lines. Information related to the Company's accounts receivable securitization program as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

        As of December 31, 2013, the Company has capital lease obligations of $24 million included in other in the long-term debt table above.

        Annual maturities for all of the Company's long-term debt through 2018 are as follows: 2014, $15 million; 2015, $983 million; 2016, $876 million; 2017, $2 million; and 2018, $3 million.

        Fair values at December 31, 2013, of the Company's significant fixed rate debt obligations are as follows:

13. Contingencies

        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 conducted an internal investigation into conduct in certain of its overseas operations that may have violated the anti-bribery provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

13. Contingencies (Continued)

(the "FCPA"), the FCPA's books and records and internal controls provisions, the Company's own internal policies, and various local laws. In October 2012, the Company voluntarily disclosed these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

        On July 18, 2013, the Company received a letter from the DOJ indicating that it presently did not intend to take any enforcement action and is closing its inquiry into the matter.

        The Company is presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of an investigation by the SEC, if any, or whether the SEC will commence any legal action. The SEC has a broad range of civil sanctions under the FCPA and other laws and regulations including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, penalties, and modifications to business practices. The Company could also be subject to investigation and sanctions outside the United States. While the Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of any potential sanctions or remedial measures, it does not expect such actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

        The Company received a non-income tax assessment from a foreign tax authority for approximately $90 million (including penalties and interest). The Company challenged this assessment, but the tax authority's position was upheld in court. The Company strongly disagrees with this ruling and believes it to be contradictory to other court rulings in the Company's favor. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, it believes that it is probable that the tax authority's assessment will be overturned by a higher court, and therefore, the Company has not established an accrual. In order to contest the lower court rulings, legal rules require the Company to deposit the amount of the tax assessment, which will be remitted in monthly installments over the next twenty-four months. A favorable ruling by the higher court will result in a return to the Company of amounts paid. An unfavorable ruling will result in the forfeiture of the deposit, a charge of approximately $60 million and a non-income tax refund of $30 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has made installment payments totaling $43 million, which is included in Other assets on the balance sheet.

        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.

14. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

        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.

15. Other Expense

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 included the following:

•

The Company recorded charges totaling $97 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. See Note 9 for additional information.



•

The Company recorded charges totaling $22 million for asset impairment related to the Company's operations in Argentina, due primarily to macroeconomic issues in that country. The Company wrote down the value of these assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The fair value of the assets was computed based on estimated future cash flows. The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.



•

Aggregate foreign currency exchange losses included in other expense were $9 million in 2013.

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 included the following:

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 included the following:

•

The Company recorded charges totaling $94 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. See Note 9 for additional information.



•

The Company recorded charges totaling $17 million for asset impairment, primarily due to the write down of asset values related to a 2010 acquisition in China as a result of integration challenges. The Company wrote down the value of these assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.



•

The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $641 million related to its Asia Pacific segment. See Note 6 for additional information.



•

Aggregate foreign currency exchange losses included in other expense were $6 million in 2011.

16. Operating Leases

        Rent expense attributable to all warehouse, office buildings, and equipment operating leases was $53 million in 2013, $69 million in 2012, and $84 million in 2011. Minimum future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2014, $46 million; 2015, $33 million; 2016, $27 million; 2017, $23 million; 2018, $18 million; and 2019 and thereafter, $42 million.

17. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

        Changes in the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows:

        Interest paid in cash, including note repurchase premiums, aggregated $185 million for 2013, $223 million for 2012, and $253 million for 2011.

        Income taxes paid in cash were as follows:

18. Business Combinations

        On August 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Verrerie du Languedoc SAS, a single-furnace glass container plant in Vergeze, France. The Vergeze plant is located near the Nestle Waters' Perrier bottling facility and has a long-standing supply relationship with Nestle Waters.

        On May 31, 2011, the Company acquired the noncontrolling interest in its southern Brazil operations for approximately $140 million.

        The acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, did not meet the thresholds for a significant acquisition and therefore no pro forma financial information is presented.

19. Discontinued Operations

        On October 26, 2010, the Venezuelan government, through Presidential Decree No. 7.751, expropriated the assets of Owens-Illinois de Venezuela and Fabrica de Vidrios Los Andes, C.A., two of the Company's subsidiaries in that country, which in effect constituted a taking of the going concerns of those companies. Shortly after the issuance of the decree, the Venezuelan government installed temporary administrative boards to control the expropriated assets.

        Since the issuance of the decree, the Company has cooperated with the Venezuelan government, as it is compelled to do under Venezuelan law, to provide for an orderly transition while ensuring the safety and well-being of the employees and the integrity of the production facilities. The Company has been engaged in negotiations with the Venezuelan government in relation to certain aspects of the expropriation, including the compensation payable by the government as a result of its expropriation. On September 26, 2011, the Company, having been unable to reach an agreement with the Venezuelan government regarding fair compensation, commenced an arbitration against Venezuela through the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. The Company is unable at this stage to predict the amount, or timing of receipt, of compensation it will ultimately receive, and will record any such compensation as a gain from discontinued operations when received.

        The loss from discontinued operations of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 represents ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

20. Guarantees of Debt

        OI Group and the Company guarantee OI Inc.'s senior debentures on a subordinated basis. The fair value of the OI Inc. debt being guaranteed was $291 at December 31, 2013.

21. Related Party Transactions

        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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013. 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, 2013 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

        Basis of Consolidated Statements    The consolidated financial statements of Owens-Brockway Glass Container Inc. (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.

        Relationship with Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc., Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. and Owens-Illinois, Inc.    The Company is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Owens-Brockway Packaging, Inc. ("OB Packaging"), and an indirect subsidiary of Owens-Illinois Group, Inc. ("OI Group") and 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.

        Nature of Operations    The Company is a leading manufacturer of glass container products. The Company's principal product lines are glass containers for the food and beverage industries. The Company has glass container operations located in 21 countries. The principal markets and operations for the Company's products are in Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific.

        Use of Estimates    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles 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.

        Foreign Currency Translation    The assets and liabilities of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Any related translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in share owners' equity.

        Revenue Recognition    The Company recognizes sales, net of estimated discounts and allowances, when 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.

        Shipping and Handling Costs    Shipping and handling costs are included with cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Results of Operations.

        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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Accounts Receivable    Receivables are stated at amounts estimated by management to be the net realizable value. The Company charges off accounts receivable when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that amounts will not be collected.

        Allowance for Doubtful Accounts    The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through charges to 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.

        Inventory Valuation    Inventories are valued at the lower of average costs or market.

        Goodwill    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.

        Intangible Assets and Other Long-Lived Assets    Intangible assets are amortized over the expected useful 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.

        Property, Plant and Equipment    Property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") is carried at cost and 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.

        Derivative Instruments    The Company uses forward exchange contracts, options and commodity futures 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 short-term forward exchange contracts not designated as hedges are classified as a financing activity. Cash flows of commodity futures contracts are classified as operating activities.

        Fair Value Measurements    Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or 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.

        Reclassifications    Certain reclassifications of prior years' data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

        New Accounting Standards    In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance related to the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when net operating loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards exist. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods, beginning after December 31, 2013. The Company elected to adopt this standard effective December 31, 2013. The adoption of this standard impacted how the Company presents certain of its unrecognized tax benefits on its balance sheet, with no impact to the results of operations or cash flows.

        Participation in OI Inc. Stock Option Plans and Other Stock Based Compensation    The Company 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

        Options granted prior to March 22, 2005, all of which are exercisable, expire following termination of employment or the day after the tenth anniversary date of the option grant.

        For options granted after March 21, 2005, no options may be exercised in whole or in part during the first year after the date granted. In general, subject to change in control, these options become exercisable 25% per year beginning on the first anniversary. In general, options expire following termination of employment or the seventh anniversary of the option grant. The fair value of options granted after March 21, 2005, is amortized over the vesting periods which range from one to four years.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units

        Shares granted to employees prior to March 22, 2005, generally vest after three years or upon retirement, whichever is later. 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 OI Inc.'s common stock for each unit. Granted but unvested restricted share units are forfeited upon termination, unless certain retirement criteria are met.

        The fair value of the restricted shares and restricted share units is equal to the market price of OI Inc.'s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of restricted shares granted before March 22, 2005, is amortized ratably over the vesting period. The fair value of restricted shares and restricted share units granted after March 21, 2005, 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 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 20, 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.

2. Segment Information

        The Company has four reportable segments based on its geographic locations: Europe, North America, South America and Asia Pacific. 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 Other. These include licensing, equipment manufacturing, global engineering, and non-glass equity investments.

        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. 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.

        Financial information regarding the Company's reportable segments is as follows:

5. Equity Investments (Continued)

        Summarized combined financial information for equity associates is as follows (unaudited):

 

        The Company's significant equity method investments include: (1) 50% of the common shares of Vetri Speciali SpA, a specialty glass manufacturer; (2) a 25% partnership interest in Tata Chemical (Soda Ash) Partners, a soda ash supplier; (3) a 50% partnership interest in Rocky Mountain Bottle Company, a glass container manufacturer; (4) a 50% partnership interest in BJC O-I Glass Pte. Ltd., a glass container manufacturer; and (5) 50% of the common shares of Vetrerie Meridionali SpA ("VeMe"), a glass container manufacturer. During the fourth quarter of 2013, changes were made to the VeMe joint venture agreement that resulted in the Company relinquishing control of the joint venture and, therefore, deconsolidating the entity. No gain or loss was recognized related to the deconsolidation as the fair value of the entity was equal to the carrying amount of the entity's assets and liabilities. The fair value, which the Company classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, was computed using a discounted cash flow analysis based on projected future cash flows of the joint venture.

        There is a difference of approximately $13 million as of December 31, 2013 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.

6. Goodwill

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

        Goodwill for the Asia Pacific segment is net of accumulated impairment losses of $1,135 million as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

        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 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that no impairment existed. During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company completed its annual impairment testing and determined that impairment existed in the goodwill of its Asia Pacific segment. Lower projected cash flows, principally in the segment's Australian operations, caused the decline in the business enterprise value. The strong Australian dollar in 2011 resulted in many wine producers in the country exporting their wine in bulk shipments and bottling the wine closer to their end markets. This decreased the demand for wine bottles in Australia, which was a significant portion of the Company's sales in that country, and the Company expects this decreased demand to continue into the foreseeable future. Following a review of the valuation of the segment's identifiable assets, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $641 million to reduce the reported value of its goodwill.

7. Other Assets

        Other assets consisted of the following at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

8. Derivative Instruments

        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 Futures Contracts Designated as Cash Flow Hedges

        In North America, the Company enters into commodity futures 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 futures 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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had entered into commodity futures contracts covering approximately 5,400,000 MM BTUs and 7,000,000 MM BTUs, respectively, primarily related to customer requests to lock the price of natural gas.

        The Company accounts for the above futures contracts as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2013 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 $1 million at December 31, 2013 and an unrecognized loss of $1 million at December 31, 2012 related to the commodity futures 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, 2013 and 2012 was not material.

        The effect of the commodity futures contracts on the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

Senior Notes Designated as Net Investment Hedge

        During December 2004, the Company issued senior notes totaling €225 million. These notes were designated by the Company's subsidiary as a hedge of a portion of its net investment in a non-U.S. subsidiary with a Euro functional currency. Because the amount of the senior notes matched the hedged portion of the net investment, there was no hedge ineffectiveness. Accordingly, the Company recorded the impact of changes in the foreign currency exchange rate on the Euro-denominated notes in OCI. The amount of loss recognized in OCI related to this net investment hedge for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $25 million. During the second quarter of 2011, the senior notes designated as the net investment hedge were redeemed by the Company. The amount recorded in OCI related to this net investment hedge will be reclassified into earnings when the Company sells or liquidates its net investment in the non-U.S. subsidiary.

Forward Exchange Contracts 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 and payables, 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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had outstanding forward exchange and option agreements denominated in various currencies covering the equivalent of approximately $550 million and $750 million, respectively, related primarily to intercompany transactions and loans.

        The effect of the forward exchange contracts on the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

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. The following table shows the amount and classification (as noted above) of the Company's derivatives as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        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 and reduce future expenses. 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. When charges related to major programs are completed, remaining accrual balances are classified with Other Restructuring Actions.

European Asset Optimization

        In 2011, the Company implemented 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 involves making additional investments in certain facilities and addressing assets with higher cost structures. As part of this program, the Company recorded charges of $16 million in 2013, $86 million in 2012 and $24 million in 2011 for employee costs, asset impairments and environmental remediation related to decisions to close furnaces and manufacturing facilities in Europe. The Company expects to execute further actions under this program in phases over the next several years.

Asia Pacific Restructuring

        In 2011, the Company 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 $49 million, $47 million and $46 million for the years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for employee costs and asset impairments related to furnace closures and additional restructuring activities.

Other Restructuring Actions

        The Company took certain other restructuring actions and recorded charges in 2013 of $16 million for employee costs related to the closure of flat glass operations in South America, $13 million for

employee costs related to global headcount reduction initiatives and $3 million for miscellaneous other costs. In 2012, the Company recorded charges of $13 million for employee costs and asset impairments related to a decision to close a machine manufacturing facility in the U.S., $7 million for employee costs and asset impairments related to a decision to close a mold shop in South America and $15 million for miscellaneous other costs. In 2011, the Company recorded charges of $13 million related to headcount reductions, primarily in Europe and South America, and $12 million for an asset impairment related to a previously closed facility in Europe.

        The beginning accrual balance for other restructuring actions as of January 1, 2012 primarily relates to the Company's strategic review of its global manufacturing footprint completed in 2010.

        The following table presents information related to restructuring, asset impairment and other costs related to closed facilities:

        The restructuring accrual balance represents the Company's estimates of the remaining future cash amounts to be paid related to the actions noted above. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's estimates include approximately $69 million for severance and related benefits costs, $27 million for environmental remediation costs, and $16 million for other exit costs. The 2012 charges include approximately $14 million related to environmental remediation costs at a closed facility in Europe.

10. Pension Benefit Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

Pension Benefit Plans

        The Company participates in OI Inc.'s defined benefit pension plans for substantially all 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 $48 million in 2013, $20 million in 2012 and $37 million in 2011.

        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 $7 million in 2013, $6 million in 2012 and $7 million in 2011.

        The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering a substantial number of employees located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Canada and Australia, as well as many employees in Germany, France and Switzerland. 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 information is for plans with projected and accumulated benefit obligations in excess of the fair value of plan assets at year end:

        The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations were as follows:

        The weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension costs were as follows:

        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. Amortization included in net pension expense is based on the average remaining service of employees.

        For 2013, the Company's weighted average expected long-term rate of return on assets was 6.34% . In developing this assumption, the Company evaluated input from its third party pension plan asset managers, including their review of asset class return expectations and long-term inflation assumptions. The Company also considered its historical 10-year average return (through December 31, 2012), which was in line with the expected long-term rate of return assumption for 2013.

        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 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.

        The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's pension plan assets at fair value as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        The following is a reconciliation of the Company's pension plan assets recorded at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

        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 2013.

        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 $30 million in 2014.

Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions

        OI Inc. provides certain retiree health care and life insurance benefits covering substantially all U.S. salaried and certain hourly employees and substantially all employees in Canada. Employees are generally eligible for benefits upon retirement and completion of a specified number of years of creditable service. Independent actuaries determine postretirement benefit costs for each subsidiary of OI Inc.; however, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation information pertaining to each subsidiary has not been separately determined. As such, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation has been retained by another subsidiary of OI Inc.

Payments to the trust as required by the bargaining agreements are based upon specified amounts per hour worked and were $6 million in each of the years 2013, 2012, and 2011. 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.

        A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes based on the statutory U.S. Federal tax rate of 35% to the provision for income taxes is as follows:

        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, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

11. Income Taxes (Continued)

        Deferred taxes are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 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, 2013, before valuation allowance, the Company had unused foreign tax credits of $356 million expiring in 2017 through 2022, research tax credit of $20 million expiring from 2014 to 2033, and alternative minimum tax credits of $9 million which do not expire and which will be available to offset future U.S. Federal income tax. Approximately $164 million of the deferred tax assets related to operating and capital loss carryforwards can be carried over indefinitely, with the remaining $186 million expiring between 2014 and 2030.

        At December 31, 2013, the Company's equity in the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries for which income taxes had not been provided approximated $3.2 billion. The Company intends to reinvest these earnings indefinitely in the non-U.S. operations and has not distributed any of these earnings to the U.S. in 2013, 2012 or 2011. 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 has recognized tax benefits as a result of incentives in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions which expire between 2014 and 2016.

11. Income Taxes (Continued)

        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, 2013, 2012 and 2011:

        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 reasonable possible that the estimated liability could decrease up to $20 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, Australia, Ecuador, Germany, and Italy. The years under examination range from 2005 through 2012. The Company believes that there are no jurisdictions in which the outcome of unresolved issues or claims is likely to be material to the Company's results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company further believes that adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties have been made. During 2013, the Company concluded audits in several jurisdictions, including Czech Republic, France, New Zealand, Peru, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom.

12. External Debt

        The following table summarizes the external long-term debt of the Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

        On May 19, 2011, the Company entered into the Secured Credit Agreement (the "Agreement"). At December 31, 2013, the Agreement included a $900 million revolving credit facility, a $405 million term loan, an 81 million Canadian dollar term loan, and a €85 million term loan, each of which has a final maturity date of May 19, 2016. During 2013, the Company repaid 51 million Australian dollars on Term Loan A, $120 million on Term Loan B, 20 million Canadian dollars on Term Loan C and €39 million on Term Loan D under the Agreement. At December 31, 2013, the Company had unused credit of $816 million available under the Agreement.

        The 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 junior payments, make certain asset sales within guidelines and limits, make capital expenditures beyond a certain threshold, engage in material transactions with shareholders and affiliates, participate in sale and leaseback financing arrangements, alter its fundamental business, and amend certain outstanding debt obligations.

        The Agreement also contains one financial maintenance covenant, a Leverage Ratio, that requires the Company not to exceed a ratio calculated by dividing consolidated total debt, less cash and cash equivalents, by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Agreement. The 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 Leverage Ratio to exceed the specified maximum.

12. External Debt (Continued)

        Failure to comply with these covenants and restrictions could result in an event of default under the Agreement. In such an event, the Company could not request borrowings under the revolving facility, and all amounts outstanding under the Agreement, together with accrued interest, could then be declared immediately due and payable. If an event of default occurs under the Agreement and the lenders cause all of the outstanding debt obligations under the 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. A default or event of default under the 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.

        The Leverage Ratio also determines pricing under the Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Agreement is, at the Company's option, the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Rate, as defined in the Agreement. These rates include a margin linked to the Leverage Ratio. The margins range from 1.25% to 2.00% for Eurocurrency Rate loans and from 0.25% to 1.00% for Base Rate loans. In addition, a facility fee is payable on the revolving credit facility commitments ranging from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum linked to the Leverage Ratio. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Agreement at December 31, 2013 was 2.12%. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions in the Agreement. In addition, the Company believes that it will remain in compliance and that its ability to borrow funds under the Agreement will not be adversely affected by the covenants and restrictions.

        Borrowings under the Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets, excluding real estate, of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and certain foreign subsidiaries. Borrowings are also secured by a pledge of intercompany debt and equity in most of the Company's domestic subsidiaries and stock of certain foreign subsidiaries. All borrowings under the agreement are guaranteed by substantially all domestic subsidiaries of the Company for the term of the Agreement.

        During March 2013, the Company issued senior notes with a face value of €330 million due March 31, 2021. The notes bear interest at 4.875% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The net proceeds, after deducting debt issuance costs, totaled approximately $418 million.

        During March 2013, the Company discharged, in accordance with the indenture, all €300 million of the 6.875% senior notes due 2017. The Company recorded $11 million of additional interest charges for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

        During May 2010, the Company issued exchangeable senior notes with a face value of $690 million due June 1, 2015 ("2015 Exchangeable Notes"). The 2015 Exchangeable Notes bear interest at 3.00% and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.

        Upon exchange of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes, under the terms outlined below, the Company is required to settle the principal amount in cash and OI Inc. is required to settle the exchange premium in shares of OI Inc.'s common stock. The exchange premium is calculated as the value of OI Inc.'s common stock in excess of the initial exchange price of approximately $47.47 per share, which is equivalent to an exchange rate of 21.0642 per $1,000 principal amount of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The exchange rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, such as certain distributions, dividends or issuances of cash, stock, options, warrants or other property or effecting a share split, or a

significant change in the ownership or structure of the Company or OI Inc., such as a recapitalization or reclassification of OI Inc.'s common stock, a merger or consolidation involving the Company or the sale or conveyance to another person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries substantially as an entirety.

        Prior to March 1, 2015, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged only if (1) the price of OI Inc.'s common stock exceeds $61.71 (130% of the exchange price) for a specified period of time, (2) the trading price of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes falls below 98% of the average exchange value of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes for a specified period of time (trading price was 139% of exchange value at December 31, 2012), or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. The 2015 Exchangeable Notes may be exchanged without restrictions on or after March 1, 2015. As of December 31, 2013, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes are not exchangeable by the holders.

        For accounting purposes, the 2015 Exchangeable Notes are considered to be non-exchangeable since OI Inc. is directly responsible for settling the exchange premium, if any. The Company's obligation with respect to the instrument is limited to only the payment of interest and principal. The value of OI Inc.'s obligation to holders of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes was computed using the Company's non-exchangeable debt borrowing rate at the date of issuance of 6.15% and was accounted for as a debt discount and a corresponding capital contribution.

        During 2013, the Company repurchased $46 million of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The amount by which the cash paid exceeded the fair value of the notes repurchased was recorded as a reduction to share owners' equity. The Company recorded $3 million of additional interest charges for the loss on debt extinguishment and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees.

        The carrying values of the liability and equity components at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

        The debt discount is being amortized over the life of the 2015 Exchangeable Notes. The amount of interest expense recognized on the 2015 Exchangeable Notes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

        During 2011, the Company recorded additional interest charges of $25 million for note repurchase premiums and the related write-off of unamortized finance fees related to debt that was repaid prior to maturity.

        The Company has a €215 million European accounts receivable securitization program, which extends through September 2016, subject to annual renewal of backup credit lines. Information related to the Company's accounts receivable securitization program as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

        As of December 31, 2013, the Company has capital lease obligations of $24 million included in other in the long-term debt table above.

        Annual maturities for all of the Company's long-term debt through 2018 are as follows: 2014, $15 million; 2015, $983 million; 2016, $876 million; 2017, $2 million; and 2018, $3 million.

        Fair values at December 31, 2013, of the Company's significant fixed rate debt obligations are as follows:

13. Contingencies

        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 conducted an internal investigation into conduct in certain of its overseas operations that may have violated the anti-bribery provisions of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

13. Contingencies (Continued)

(the "FCPA"), the FCPA's books and records and internal controls provisions, the Company's own internal policies, and various local laws. In October 2012, the Company voluntarily disclosed these matters to the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

        On July 18, 2013, the Company received a letter from the DOJ indicating that it presently did not intend to take any enforcement action and is closing its inquiry into the matter.

        The Company is presently unable to predict the duration, scope or result of an investigation by the SEC, if any, or whether the SEC will commence any legal action. The SEC has a broad range of civil sanctions under the FCPA and other laws and regulations including, but not limited to, injunctive relief, disgorgement, penalties, and modifications to business practices. The Company could also be subject to investigation and sanctions outside the United States. While the Company is currently unable to quantify the impact of any potential sanctions or remedial measures, it does not expect such actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, results of operations or financial condition.

        The Company received a non-income tax assessment from a foreign tax authority for approximately $90 million (including penalties and interest). The Company challenged this assessment, but the tax authority's position was upheld in court. The Company strongly disagrees with this ruling and believes it to be contradictory to other court rulings in the Company's favor. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, it believes that it is probable that the tax authority's assessment will be overturned by a higher court, and therefore, the Company has not established an accrual. In order to contest the lower court rulings, legal rules require the Company to deposit the amount of the tax assessment, which will be remitted in monthly installments over the next twenty-four months. A favorable ruling by the higher court will result in a return to the Company of amounts paid. An unfavorable ruling will result in the forfeiture of the deposit, a charge of approximately $60 million and a non-income tax refund of $30 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has made installment payments totaling $43 million, which is included in Other assets on the balance sheet.

        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.

14. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

        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.

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 included the following:

•

The Company recorded charges totaling $97 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. See Note 9 for additional information.



•

The Company recorded charges totaling $22 million for asset impairment related to the Company's operations in Argentina, due primarily to macroeconomic issues in that country. The Company wrote down the value of these assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The fair value of the assets was computed based on estimated future cash flows. The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.



•

Aggregate foreign currency exchange losses included in other expense were $9 million in 2013.

        Other expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 included the following:

•

The Company recorded charges totaling $94 million for restructuring, asset impairment and related charges. See Note 9 for additional information.



•

The Company recorded charges totaling $17 million for asset impairment, primarily due to the write down of asset values related to a 2010 acquisition in China as a result of integration challenges. The Company wrote down the value of these assets to the extent their carrying amounts exceeded fair value. The Company classified the significant assumptions used to determine the fair value of the impaired assets, which was not material, as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.



•

The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $641 million related to its Asia Pacific segment. See Note 6 for additional information.



•

Aggregate foreign currency exchange losses included in other expense were $6 million in 2011.

16. Operating Leases

        Rent expense attributable to all warehouse, office buildings, and equipment operating leases was $53 million in 2013, $69 million in 2012, and $84 million in 2011. Minimum future rentals under operating leases are as follows: 2014, $46 million; 2015, $33 million; 2016, $27 million; 2017, $23 million; 2018, $18 million; and 2019 and thereafter, $42 million.

17. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

        Changes in the components of working capital related to operations (net of the effects related to acquisitions and divestitures) were as follows:

        Interest paid in cash, including note repurchase premiums, aggregated $185 million for 2013, $223 million for 2012, and $253 million for 2011.

18. Business Combinations

        On August 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Verrerie du Languedoc SAS, a single-furnace glass container plant in Vergeze, France. The Vergeze plant is located near the Nestle Waters' Perrier bottling facility and has a long-standing supply relationship with Nestle Waters.

        On May 31, 2011, the Company acquired the noncontrolling interest in its southern Brazil operations for approximately $140 million.

        The acquisitions, individually and in the aggregate, did not meet the thresholds for a significant acquisition and therefore no pro forma financial information is presented.

19. Discontinued Operations

        On October 26, 2010, the Venezuelan government, through Presidential Decree No. 7.751, expropriated the assets of Owens-Illinois de Venezuela and Fabrica de Vidrios Los Andes, C.A., two of the Company's subsidiaries in that country, which in effect constituted a taking of the going concerns of those companies. Shortly after the issuance of the decree, the Venezuelan government installed temporary administrative boards to control the expropriated assets.

        Since the issuance of the decree, the Company has cooperated with the Venezuelan government, as it is compelled to do under Venezuelan law, to provide for an orderly transition while ensuring the safety and well-being of the employees and the integrity of the production facilities. The Company has been engaged in negotiations with the Venezuelan government in relation to certain aspects of the expropriation, including the compensation payable by the government as a result of its expropriation. On September 26, 2011, the Company, having been unable to reach an agreement with the Venezuelan government regarding fair compensation, commenced an arbitration against Venezuela through the World Bank's International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. The Company is unable at this stage to predict the amount, or timing of receipt, of compensation it will ultimately receive, and will record any such compensation as a gain from discontinued operations when received.

        The loss from discontinued operations of $10 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 represents ongoing costs related to the Venezuela expropriation.

20. Related Party Transactions
