For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Other (income) expense includes royalty income of $155 million attributable to a one-time gain on the recognition of deferred income resulting from the termination of a licensing agreement associated with the sale of our former Engineered Products business that is not included in segment operating income. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, Other (income) expense includes a net foreign currency remeasurement loss of $157 million related to the January 24, 2014 devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar fuerte against the U.S. dollar.
 
Substantially all of the pension curtailment charges of $33 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 noted above related to our North America strategic business unit ("SBU"); however, such costs were not included in North America segment operating income for purposes of management's assessment of SBU operating performance. In addition, rationalizations, as described in Note 2, Costs Associated with Rationalization Programs; net (gains) losses on asset sales; and asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation are not (credited) charged to the SBUs for performance evaluation purposes, but were attributable to the SBUs as follows:
