Industrial Automation intersegment sales for the quarters ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were $194 million and $190 million, respectively, and year-to-date, $492 million and $488 million. The decrease in corporate and other for the third quarter is primarily due to a noncash, pretax goodwill impairment charge of $503 million in 2013. See Note 11. The year-to-date decrease reflects the impairment charge and lower incentive stock compensation of $24 million, partially offset by a $34 million loss from the Artesyn equity investment and inventory costs of $21 million from purchase accounting.
