The Company has equity interests in various companies for strategic purposes. The investments are accounted for under the equity method and are included in the “Other assets” line on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The carrying amount of the investments are adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of earnings, losses, and dividends. The investments are not considered material to the Company’s financial position, neither individually nor in the aggregate. The Company’s proportionate share of earnings from its equity interests, included in the "Other income, net" line of the Company's condensed consolidated statements of income, was immaterial for the first quarters ended April 4, 2015 and March 29, 2014.
