Cash payments for interest, net of amounts capitalized were $419 million, $353 million and $348 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2014, interest expense was favorably impacted by $6 million related to interest recovered on the settlement of certain indirect tax claims in Latin America. In 2012, we recorded an out of period adjustment of $13 million of additional interest expense to correct capitalized interest recorded in prior periods.
