These revisions were not considered material to the previously issued Q3 2015 financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for the quarter ended October 1, 2016 (unaudited)
Note 1 Accounting policies
Basis of presentation
The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The condensed balance sheet information at January 2, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended October 1, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
Accounts payable
The Company has agreements with certain third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal in entering into these agreements is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under these arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. As of October 1, 2016, $692 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $513 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. As of January 2, 2016, $524 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $425 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions.
New accounting standards
Improvements to employee share-based payment accounting. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) as part of its simplification initiative. The Company early adopted the accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2016. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The main provisions of the ASU are as follows:
Excess tax benefits and deficiencies for share-based payments are recorded as an adjustment of income taxes and reflected in operating cash flows after adoption of this ASU. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies were previously recorded in equity and as financing cash flows prior to adoption of this ASU.
The guidance allows the employer to withhold up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions without triggering liability accounting. The Company's accounting treatment of outstanding equity awards was not impacted by its adoption of this provision of the ASU.
The guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The Company is not making this election, and will continue to account for forfeitures on an estimated basis.
Balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. Entities should apply the new guidance either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company early adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016, on a prospective basis.  The year-end 2015 balances for

8

Table of Contents

current deferred tax assets and current deferred liabilities were $227 million and $9 million, respectively. Prior period balances have not been adjusted.
Simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements.
Simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. In September 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments for items in a business combination. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the ASU with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements.
Customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. Entities should apply the new guidance either; 1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or 2) retrospectively. The Company adopted the updated standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements.
Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods
Income Taxes. In October 2016, the FASB, as part of their simplification initiative, issued an ASU to improve the accounting for income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) prohibit recognition of current and deferred income taxes for intra-entity asset transfers until the asset has been sold to an outside party, which is an exception to the principle of comprehensive recognition of current and deferred income taxes in GAAP. The amendments in the ASU eliminate the exception, such that entities should recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, as of the beginning of an annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. That is, early adoption should be the first interim period if an entity issues interim financial statements. The amendments in this ASU should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the period of adoption.  The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adoption of the ASU.
Statement of Cash Flows. In August 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to provide cash flow statement classification guidance for certain cash receipts and payments including (a) debt prepayment or extinguishment costs; (b) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (c) insurance settlement proceeds; (d) distributions from equity method investees; (e) beneficial interests in securitization transactions and (f) application of the predominance principle for cash receipts and payments with aspects of more than one class of cash flows.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, in which case adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the interim period.   The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively.  The Company is currently assessing the impact and timing of adoption of the ASU.
Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which will require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The distinction between finance leases and operating leases will remain, with similar classification criteria as current GAAP to distinguish between capital and operating leases. The principal difference from current guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current GAAP. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as timing of implementation.
Recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the

9

Table of Contents

presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued or that have not yet been made available for issuance. Entities should apply the update by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements.
Revenue from contracts with customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU, as amended, which provides guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity would be required to apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. When the ASU was originally issued it was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The updated standard will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities will be permitted to adopt the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date.  Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant changes. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether it will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption.

Note 2 Sale of accounts receivable

In March 2016, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Receivable Sales Agreement”), to sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable balances to a third party financial institution. Transfers under this agreement are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Receivable Sales Agreement provides for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum receivables that may be sold at any time is $550 million (increased from $350 million as of April 2, 2016).  During the year-to-date period ended October 1, 2016, approximately $1.0 billion of accounts receivable have been sold via this arrangement. Accounts receivable sold of $546 million remained outstanding under this arrangement as of October 1, 2016. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The recorded net loss on sale of receivables is approximately $3 million for the year-to-date period ended October 1, 2016 and is included in Other income and expense.

In July 2016, the Company entered into a $200 million U.S. accounts receivable securitization program with a third party financial institution. In September 2016 the program was amended to increase its capacity to $400 million. Under the program, we receive cash consideration of up to $400 million and a deferred purchase price asset for the remainder of the purchase price. Transfers under this agreement are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This securitization program utilizes Kellogg Funding Company (Kellogg Funding), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Kellogg Funding's sole business consists of the purchase of receivables, from its parent or other subsidiary and subsequent transfer of such receivables and related assets to financial institutions. Although Kellogg Funding is included in our consolidated financial statements, it is a separate legal entity with separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of Kellogg Funding assets prior to any assets or value in Kellogg Funding becoming available to the Company or its subsidiaries. The assets of Kellogg Funding are not available to pay creditors of the Company or its subsidiaries. This program expires in July 2017.

During the year-to-date period ended October 1, 2016, $341 million of accounts receivable have been sold via the accounts receivable securitization program. As of October 1, 2016, approximately $260 million of accounts receivable sold to Kellogg Funding under the securitization program remained outstanding, for which the Company

Table of Contents

received net cash proceeds of approximately $222 million and a deferred purchase price asset of approximately $38 million. The portion of the purchase price for the receivables which is not paid in cash by the financial institutions is a deferred purchase price asset, which is paid to Kellogg Funding as payments on the receivables are collected from customers. The deferred purchase price asset represents a beneficial interest in the transferred financial assets and is recognized at fair value as part of the sale transaction. The deferred purchase price asset is included in Other prepaid assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The recorded net loss on sale of receivables is included in Other income and expense and is not material.

The Company has no retained interests in the receivables sold under the programs above, however the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold receivables. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of October 1, 2016 for these agreements as the fair value of these servicing arrangements as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.

Additionally, from time to time certain of the Company's foreign subsidiaries will factor, without recourse, accounts receivable balances of certain customers. These transactions are accounted for as sales of the receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. No sold receivable balances under these programs were outstanding as of October 1, 2016. During the year-to-date period ended October 1, 2016, $33 million of accounts receivable have been sold via these programs. The recorded net loss on the sale of these receivables is included in Other income and expense and is not material.

Note 3 Goodwill and other intangible assets

Acquisitions
In March 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of an organic and natural snack company for $18 million, which was accounted for under the purchase method and financed with cash on hand.  The assets, which primarily consist of indefinite lived brands, and liabilities are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2016 within the North America Other segment.

In September 2016, the Company acquired a majority ownership interest in a natural, bio-organic certified breakfast company for €5 million, which was accounted for under the purchase method and financed with cash on hand.  The assets, which primarily consist of indefinite lived intangible assets and goodwill, and liabilities, including non-controlling interests, are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 1, 2016, within the Europe segment.

Joint Venture
In January 2016, the Company formed a Joint Venture with Tolaram Africa to develop snacks and breakfast foods for the West Africa market.  In connection with the formation, the Company contributed the rights to indefinitely use the Company’s brands for this market and these categories, including the Pringles brand.  Accordingly, the Company recorded a contribution of $5 million of intangible assets not subject to amortization with a corresponding increase in Investments in unconsolidated entities during the first quarter of 2016, which represents the value attributed to the Pringles brand for this market.

Note 4 Investments in unconsolidated entities
In September 2015, the Company acquired, for $445 million, a 50% interest in Multipro Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Multipro), a leading distributor of a variety of food products in Nigeria and Ghana and also obtained an option to acquire 24.5% of an affiliated food manufacturing entity under common ownership based on a fixed multiple of future earnings as defined in the agreement (Purchase Option). The purchase price was subject to final adjustments based on Multipro’s 2015 earnings, as defined in the agreement, which was finalized during the quarter ended July 2, 2016. The final purchase price adjustment resulted in a $28 million reduction in the purchase price, which reduced the carrying amount of the investment. The acquisition of the 50% interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Purchase Option, which was recorded at cost and will be monitored for impairment through the exercise period, which is upon the earlier of the entity achieving a minimum level of earnings as defined in the agreement, in which case the Company has a one year exercise period, or 2020.
The difference between the amount paid for Multipro and the underlying equity in net assets is primarily attributable to intangible assets, a portion of which will be amortized in future periods, and goodwill.

Note 5 Restructuring and cost reduction activities
The Company views its continued spending on restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of its ongoing operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five-year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation.
Project K
Project K, a four-year efficiency and effectiveness program, was announced in November 2013, and is expected to continue generating a significant amount of savings that may be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. Additionally, the Company expects that these savings may be used to drive future growth in the business.

The focus of the program is to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation. The program is expected to continue to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories.

The Company currently anticipates that Project K will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are approved and implemented, of $1.2 to $1.4 billion, with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital investments, estimated to be $900 million to $1.1 billion. Based on current estimates and actual charges to date, the Company expects the total project charges will consist of asset-related costs totaling $400 to $450 million which will consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other exit-related costs; employee-related costs totaling $400 to $450 million which will include severance, pension and other termination benefits; and other costs totaling $400 to $500 million which will consist primarily of charges related to the design and implementation of global business capabilities. A significant portion of other costs are the result of the implementation of global business service centers which are intended to simplify and standardize business support processes.
The Company currently expects that total pre-tax charges will impact reportable segments as follows: U.S. Morning Foods (approximately 18%), U.S. Snacks (approximately 17%), U.S. Specialty (approximately 1%), North America Other (approximately 10%), Europe (approximately 17%), Latin America (approximately 2%), Asia-Pacific (approximately 6%), and Corporate (approximately 29%). Certain costs impacting Corporate relate to additional initiatives to be approved and executed in the future. When these initiatives are fully defined and approved, the Company will update its estimated costs by reportable segment as needed.

Since the inception of Project K, the Company has recognized charges of $960 million that have been attributed to the program. The charges consist of $6 million recorded as a reduction of revenue, $583 million recorded in COGS and $371 million recorded in SGA.

Other Projects
In 2015 the Company implemented a zero-based budgeting (ZBB) program in its North America business that is expected to deliver visibility to ongoing annual savings. During 2016, ZBB was expanded to include the international segments of the business. In support of the ZBB initiative, the Company incurred pre-tax charges of approximately $4 million and $21 million during the quarter and year-to-date period ended October 1, 2016, respectively. Total charges of $33 million have been recognized since the inception of the ZBB program.

Total Projects
During the quarter ended October 1, 2016, the Company recorded total charges of $40 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $12 million recorded in cost of goods sold (COGS) and $28 million recorded in selling, general and administrative (SGA) expense. During the year-to-date period ended October 1, 2016, the Company recorded total charges of $164 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges consist of $66 million recorded in COGS and $98 million recorded in SGA expense.
During the quarter ended October 3, 2015, the Company recorded total charges of $85 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges consist of $2 million recorded as a reduction of revenue, $57 million recorded in COGS and $26 million recorded in SGA expense. During the year-to-date period ended October 3, 2015, the Company recorded total charges of $243 million across all restructuring and cost reduction

Note 6 Equity
Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to Kellogg Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. Basic earnings per share is reconciled to diluted earnings per share in the following table. There were 3 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended October 1, 2016, respectively. There were 3 million anti dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended October 3, 2015, respectively.

Noncontrolling interests
In December 2012, the Company entered into a series of agreements with a third party including a subordinated loan (VIE Loan) of $44 million which was convertible into approximately 85% of the equity of the entity (VIE). Due to this convertible subordinated loan and other agreements, the Company determined that the entity was a variable interest entity, the Company was the primary beneficiary and the Company consolidated the financial statements of the VIE. During 2015, the 2012 Agreements were terminated and the VIE loan, including related accrued interest and other receivables, were settled, resulting in a charge of $19 million which was recorded as Other income (expense) in the year-to-date period ended October 3, 2015.  Upon termination of the 2012 Agreements, the Company was no longer considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE, the VIE was deconsolidated, and the Company derecognized all assets and liabilities of the VIE, including an allocation of a portion of goodwill from the U.S. Snacks operating segment, resulting in a $67 million non-cash gain, which was recorded within SGA expense for the year-to-date period ended October 3, 2015.

(a) Negative effective interest rates on certain borrowings in Europe are the result of efforts by the European Central Bank to stimulate the economy in the eurozone.

In the third quarter of 2016 the Company entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately $1.6 billion, which effectively converted $700 million of its ten-year 4.0% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020, $358 million of its ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2022, $211 million of its ten-year 2.75% notes due 2023 and $300 million of its ten-year 3.25% Notes due 2026 from fixed to floating rate obligations.

In August 2016, the Company terminated interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling €600 million, which were designated as fair value hedges of its eight-year 1.00% EUR Notes due 2024. The interest rate swaps effectively converted the interest rate on the Notes from fixed to floating and the unrealized gain upon termination of $13 million will be amortized to interest rate expense over the remaining term of the Notes.

In May 2016, the Company issued €600 million (approximately $671 million USD at October 1, 2016, which reflects the discount and translation adjustments) of eight-year 1.00% Euro Notes due 2024, resulting in aggregate net proceeds after debt discount of $679 million. The proceeds from these Notes were used for general corporate purposes, including, together with cash on hand and additional commercial paper borrowings, repayment of the Company's $750 million, five-year 4.45% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2016 at maturity. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision. The Notes were designated as a net investment hedge of the Company's investment in its Europe subsidiary when issued.

In the second quarter of 2016 the Company entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling approximately $958 million and €600 million which effectively converted $600 million of its 4.0% ten-year U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020, $358 million of its ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2022 and €600 million of its eight-year 1.00% Euro Notes due 2024 from fixed to floating rate obligations. The U.S. Dollar interest rate swaps were settled during the quarter for an unrealized gain of $12 million which will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the related Notes.

In March 2016, the Company redeemed $475 million of its 7.45% U.S. Dollar Debentures due 2031. In connection with the debt redemption, the Company incurred $153 million of interest expense, consisting primarily of a premium on the tender offer and also including accelerated losses on pre-issuance interest rate hedges, acceleration of fees and debt discount on the redeemed debt and fees related to the tender offer.

In March 2016, the Company issued $750 million of ten-year 3.25% U.S. Dollar Notes and $650 million of thirty-year 4.5% U.S. Dollar Notes, resulting in aggregate net proceeds after debt discount of $1.382 billion. The proceeds from these Notes were used for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of a portion of the Company’s 7.45% U.S. Dollar Debentures due 2031 and a portion of its commercial paper borrowings. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision.
The effective interest rates on debt obligations resulting from the Company’s interest rate swaps as of October 1, 2016 were as follows: (a) five-year 1.875% U.S. Dollar Notes due 20162.01%; (b) five-year 1.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2017 –  1.87%; (c) seven-year 3.25% U.S. Dollar Notes due 20182.58%; (d) ten-year 4.15% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2019 – 3.54%; (e) ten-year 4.00% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020 – 2.04%; (f) ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2022 – 1.30%; (g) ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2023 – 1.43%; (h) eight-year 1.00% Euro Notes due 2024 – 1.08% and (i) ten-year 3.25% U.S. Notes due 2026 – 3.12%.

Note 8 Stock compensation
The Company uses various equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for its global workforce. Currently, these incentives consist principally of stock options, restricted stock units, and to a lesser extent, executive performance shares and restricted stock grants. The Company also sponsors a discounted stock purchase plan in the United States and matching-grant programs in several international locations. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock to its outside directors. The interim information below should be read in conjunction with the disclosures included within the stock compensation footnote of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in COGS and SGA expense principally within its corporate operations. For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of equity-based programs and the related income tax benefit recognized was as follows:

Performance shares
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The number of shares earned could range between 0 and 200% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the three year vesting period. The performance conditions of the award include three-year currency-neutral comparable operating profit growth and total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company’s common stock relative to a select group of peer companies.
A Monte Carlo valuation model was used to determine the fair value of the awards. The TSR performance metric is a market condition. Therefore, compensation cost of the TSR condition is fixed at the measurement date and is not revised based on actual performance. The TSR metric was valued as a multiplier of possible levels of comparable operating profit growth achievement. Compensation cost related to comparable operating profit growth performance is revised for changes in the expected outcome. The 2016 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 176,000 shares, with a grant-date fair value of $80 per share.
Based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at October 1, 2016, the maximum future value that could be awarded to employees on the vesting date for all outstanding performance share awards was as follows:

The 2013 performance share award, payable in stock, was settled at 35% of target in February 2016 for a total dollar equivalent of $3 million.
Other stock-based awards
During the year-to-date period ended October 1, 2016, the Company granted restricted stock units and a nominal number of restricted stock awards to eligible employees as presented in the following table. Terms of these grants and the Company’s method of determining grant-date fair value were consistent with that described within the stock compensation footnote in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the quarter ended October 1, 2016, the Company recognized expense of $28 million related to the remeasurement of a U.S. pension plan as current year distributions exceeded service and interest costs resulting in settlement accounting for that particular plan. The amount of the remeasurement loss recognized during the quarter was due to an unfavorable change in the discount rate relative to prior year.

Note 10 Income taxes
The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarter ended October 1, 2016 was 18% as compared to the prior year’s rate of 24%. For the quarter ended October 1, 2016, the effective tax rate benefited from excess tax benefits from share-based compensation totaling $16 million. See Note 1 for further discussion regarding the ASU adoption. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the quarter benefited from the completion of certain tax examinations partially offset by the establishment of a valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets.
The consolidated effective tax rates for the year-to-date periods ended October 1, 2016 and October 3, 2015 were 22% and 26%, respectively. The current year-to-date period effective tax rate benefited from excess tax benefits from share-based compensation totaling $34 million as well as the completion of certain tax examinations.
The effective tax rate for 2015 benefited from a reduction in tax related to current year remitted and unremitted earnings and the completion of certain tax examinations.
As of October 1, 2016, the Company classified $16 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current liability. Management’s estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months consists of the current liability balance expected to be settled within one year, offset by approximately $8 million of projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate.

Note 11 Derivative instruments and fair value measurements
The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged.
The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.
Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of October 1, 2016 and January 2, 2016 were as follows:

Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at October 1, 2016 and January 2, 2016, measured on a recurring basis.
Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts.
Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.
The Company’s calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract

Table of Contents

rate multiplied by the notional amount. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of October 1, 2016 or January 2, 2016.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis as of October 1, 2016 and January 2, 2016:
