The difference between pre-tax income at the U.S. statutory rate of 35% or $73, and the tax charge of $47 is primarily explained as follows: $18 of decrease from lower tax rates in non-U.S. jurisdictions and $10 of decrease due to valuation allowance adjustments partially offset by $2 of increase due to foreign tax law changes.
The third quarter of 2009 included net tax charges of $3 on pre-tax income of $144. The difference of $47 between pre-tax income at the U.S. statutory rate of 35% or $50, and the tax charge of $3, was primarily due to benefits of $21 from lower tax rates in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions and $37 for valuation allowance adjustments, partially offset by charges of $11 for withholding taxes, state taxes and other items. The valuation allowance adjustments of $37 included a credit of $40 for the release of the valuation allowances in France based on the Companys estimate of future profits.
The first nine months of 2009 included net tax charges of $71 on pre-tax income of $418 for an effective rate of 17.0%. The difference of $75 between pre-tax income at the U.S. statutory rate of 35% or $146, and the tax charge of $71, was primarily due to benefits of $52 from lower tax rates in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions and $50 from valuation allowance adjustments, partially offset by charges of $27 for withholding taxes, state taxes and other items. The valuation allowance adjustments of $50 included a credit of $40 for the release of valuation allowances in France based on the Companys estimate of future profits.
Lenders under the new senior secured revolving credit facilities include certain lenders under the existing senior secured revolving credit facilities who elected to convert their commitments under the existing senior secured revolving credit facilities into commitments under the new senior secured revolving credit facilities, as well as new lenders. To the extent that lenders under the existing senior secured revolving credit facilities did not participate as lenders under the new senior secured revolving credit facilities, the existing senior secured revolving credit facilities remain outstanding, subject to their maturity on May 15, 2011. The available capacity under the existing revolving facilities is now $194. Prior to maturity of the existing revolving facilities, borrowings under the existing revolving facilities and the new revolving facilities are limited to $1,200 in the aggregate. At September 30, 2010, the Company had borrowings of $323 under its revolving credit facilities, of which $25 related to the facility that matures on May 15, 2011 and was classified as short-term debt. At September 30, 2010, the Companys available borrowing capacity under the facilities was $804, equal to the facilities aggregate capacity of $1,200 less $323 of borrowings and $73 of outstanding letters of credit.
The Companys asbestos liability is calculated using a ten-year projection and the Company therefore expects to incur an annual charge to account for projected claims in the new tenth year. The inclusion of an additional year in the ten-year projection combined with the increased settlement costs per claim, which was partially offset by a projected decrease in the number of future claims led the Company to record a charge of $55 in 2009 compared to $25 in 2008 and $28 in 2007, in each case to increase the Companys accrual for probable costs for claims through the following ten-year period. During 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, the Company made asbestos-related payments of $26, $25 and $26. If the recent trend of settling claims alleging serious disease (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) for higher amounts continues, average settlement costs per claim are likely to increase and, if not offset by a reduction in overall claims and settlements, the Company may record additional charges in the future. A 10% change in either the average cost per claim or the number of projected claims would increase or decrease the estimated liability at December 31, 2009 by $23 for the following ten-year period. A 10% increase or decrease in these two factors at the same time would increase or decrease the estimated liability at December 31, 2009 by $48 and $44, respectively, for the following ten-year period.
