Non-U.S. Activities
We define our non-U.S. activities as those revenue-producing assets and business activities that arise from clients domiciled outside the U.S. Due to the integrated nature of our business, precise segregation of our U.S. and non-U.S. activities is not possible. Subjective estimates and other judgments have been applied to determine the financial results and assets related to our non-U.S. activities, including our application of funds transfer pricing, our asset and liability management policies and the allocation of certain indirect corporate expenses. Interest expense allocations are based on the average cost of short-term borrowings.
The following table presents our non-U.S. financial results for the periods indicated. Results for 2011 reflect the retroactive effect of management changes in methodology related to funds transfer pricing and direct and indirect expense allocation in 2012.
