Summary of Significant Accounti

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business and Principles of Consolidation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its consolidated subsidiary companies (where the context requires, the “Company” shall include reference to the Company and its consolidated subsidiary companies). The Company manufactures and sells metal and glass packaging containers, metal closures, and canmaking equipment. These products are manufactured in the Company’s plants both within and outside the U.S. and are sold through the Company’s sales organization to the soft drink, food, citrus, brewing, household products, personal care and various other industries. The financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates, impacting reported results of operations and financial position. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In deciding which entities should be reported on a consolidated basis, the Company first determines whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If an entity is a VIE, the Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary. If an entity is not a VIE, the Company consolidates those entities in which it has control, including certain subsidiaries that are not majority-owned. Certain of the Company’s agreements with noncontrolling interests contain provisions in which the Company would surrender certain decision-making rights upon a change in control of the Company. Accordingly, consolidation of these operations may no longer be appropriate subsequent to a change in control of the Company, as defined in the agreements. Investments in companies in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for by the equity method. Other investments are carried at cost. Foreign Currency Translation . For non-U.S. subsidiaries which operate in a local currency environment, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments for these subsidiaries are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. For non-U.S. subsidiaries that use a U.S. dollar functional currency, local currency inventories and property, plant and equipment are translated into U.S. dollars at approximate rates prevailing when acquired; all other assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Inventories charged to cost of sales and depreciation are remeasured at historical rates; all other income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains and losses which result from remeasurement are included in earnings. Revenue Recognition . Revenue is recognized from product sales when the goods are shipped and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, returns, and other adjustments are estimated and provided for in the period that the related sales are recorded. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net sales. Shipping and handling fees and costs from product sales are reported as cost of products sold. Stock-Based Compensation . Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis using the grant date fair value of the award and the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. The Company’s plans provide for stock awards which may include accelerated vesting upon retirement, disability, or death of eligible employees. The Company considers a stock-based award to be vested when the service period is no longer contingent on the employee providing future service. Accordingly, the related compensation cost is recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible individuals, or over the period from the grant date to the date that retirement eligibility is achieved if less than the stated vesting period. Cash and Cash Equivalents . Cash equivalents represent investments with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts . Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectability, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due or experiencing financial difficulties. The current year expense to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded within selling and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Inventory Valuation . Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost for U.S. inventories principally determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and for non-U.S. inventories under the FIFO or average cost method. Property, Plant and Equipment . Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and includes expenditures for new facilities and equipment and those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. Cost of constructed assets includes capitalized interest incurred during the construction and development period. Maintenance and repairs, including labor and material costs for planned major maintenance such as annual production line overhauls, are expensed as incurred. When PP&E is retired or otherwise disposed, the net carrying amount is eliminated with any gain or loss on disposition recognized in earnings at that time. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets described below (in years). The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of its PP&E and, where appropriate, changes are made prospectively. Land improvements 25 Buildings and Building Improvements 25 – 40 Machinery and Equipment 3 – 18 Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and reviewed for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or when facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill was allocated to the reporting units at the time of the acquisition based on the relative fair values of the reporting units. In assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that an impairment is more likely than not, it will perform the two-step quantitative impairment test using a combination of market values for comparable businesses and discounted cash flow projections compared to the reporting unit's carrying value including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, any impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value. Definite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from their undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values. Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily PP&E and certain identifiable intangible assets with finite lives, may be impaired, the Company performs a recoverability evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are presented in the balance sheet at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. Taxes on Income . The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes represent the future expected tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities based upon enacted tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Investment tax credits are accounted for using the deferral method. The with-and-without approach is used to account for utilization of windfall tax benefits arising from the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and only the direct impact of awards is considered when calculating the amount of windfalls or shortfalls. Income tax-related interest and penalties are reported as income tax expense. Derivatives and Hedging . All outstanding derivative financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values. The impact on earnings from recognizing the fair values of these instruments depends on their intended use, their hedge designation and their effectiveness in offsetting changes in the fair values of the exposures they are hedging. Changes in the fair values of instruments designated to reduce or eliminate adverse fluctuations in the fair values of recognized assets and liabilities are reported currently in earnings along with changes in the fair values of the hedged items. Changes in the effective portions of the fair values of instruments used to reduce or eliminate adverse fluctuations in cash flows of anticipated or forecasted transactions are reported in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged items impact earnings or the anticipated transactions are no longer probable. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are reported currently in earnings. Amounts reported in earnings are classified consistent with the item being hedged. The effectiveness of derivative instruments in reducing risks associated with the hedged exposures is assessed at inception and on an ongoing basis. Any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and any ineffective portion of designated hedges, are reported currently in earnings. Time value, a component of an instrument’s fair value, is excluded in assessing effectiveness for fair value hedges, except hedges of firm commitments, and included for cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when (i) the instrument is no longer effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the underlying hedged item, (ii) the instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised, or (iii) designating the instrument as a hedge is no longer appropriate. The Company formally documents all relationships between its hedging instruments and hedged items at inception, including its risk management objective and strategy for establishing various hedge relationships. Cash flows from hedging instruments are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consistent with the items being hedged. Treasury Stock . Treasury stock is reported at par value. The excess of fair value over par value is first charged to paid-in capital, if any, and then to retained earnings. Research and Development . Research, development and engineering costs of $39 in 2015 and 2014 and $36 in 2013were expensed as incurred and reported in selling and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Substantially all engineering and development costs are related to developing new products or designing significant improvements to existing products or processes. Costs primarily include employee salaries and benefits and facility costs. Reclassifications . Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation. Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In the first quarter of 2015, the Company adopted changes to the definition of discontinued operations to include only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The change did not impact the Company's financial statements in 2015. In September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment, including the impact on prior periods, be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The Company elected to early adopt this standard during the third quarter of 2015. The change did not materially impact the Company's financial statements in 2015. In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the liability instead of a deferred charge. The Company elected to early adopt this standard. As of December 31, 2015, the Company reclassified debt issuance costs associated with long term debt from other assets to current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, excluding current maturities. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year classification resulting in adjustments of $2 to current maturities of long-term debt and of $63 to long-term debt, excluding current maturities. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit arrangements remain classified in other non-current assets. In December 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company elected to early adopt this standard. Prior period deferred tax asset and liability balances were not retrospectively adjusted. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to how an entity should recognize revenue. The guidance specifies that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In addition, the guidance expands the required disclosures related to revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The Company will adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the subsequent measurement of inventory. Under existing guidance, inventory is measured at the lower of cost or market, where market is defined as replacement cost, with a ceiling of net realizable value and floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The new guidance requires an entity to subsequently measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Empaque On February 18, 2015 , the Company completed its acquisition of Empaque, a leading manufacturer of beverage packaging in Mexico, from Heineken N.V., for $1.2 billion . The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Empaque and the preliminary valuation of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. Fair value of consideration transferred Cash $ 1,207 Total consideration $ 1,207 Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed Receivables, net $ 106 Inventories 56 Intangible assets 443 Property, plant and equipment, net 300 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (89 ) Other non-current liabilities (227 ) Total identifiable net assets $ 589 Goodwill $ 618 The acquired goodwill was assigned to the Company's Americas Beverage segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The acquired property, plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the equipment in accordance with the Company's existing policies and procedures. Intangible assets include $254 of customer relationships that will be amortized over 18 years and $189 for long-term supply contracts that will be amortized over 15 years. The Company expects to finalize its purchase accounting in the first quarter of 2016. The primary items that are not yet finalized include income taxes and contingencies. Empaque's results of operations have been included in the Company's financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on February 18, 2015. Empaque contributed sales of $560 and net income attributable to Crown Holdings of $52 for the period from the completion of the acquisition through December 31, 2015. Mivisa On April 23, 2014 , the Company completed its acquisition of Mivisa Envases, S.A.U. (“Mivisa”) for $733 , net of $28 in cash acquired, plus $977 of debt assumed. Mivisa, based in Murcia, Spain, primarily serves the vegetable, fruit, fish and meat markets and is the largest food can producer in both the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. In conjunction with the acquisition the Company acquired intangible assets which included $14 of acquired trademarks that were fully amortized in 2014 and $281 of customer relationships that will be amortized over 13 years, and assigned goodwill of $938 to the European Food segment. Pro-forma data The following unaudited supplemental pro-forma data presents consolidated information as if the Empaque acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014 and the Mivisa acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2013. These amounts were calculated after conversion to US GAAP, applying the Company's accounting policies and adjusting Empaque's and Mivisa's results to reflect the additional depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value of property, plant and equipment, inventory and intangible assets had been applied from the assumed completion dates. These adjustments also reflect interest expense incurred on the debt to finance the acquisition and related transaction costs. Pro-forma data for the year ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Net sales $ 8,837 $ 9,955 $ 9,380 Net income attributable to Crown Holdings 415 426 338 The unaudited supplemental pro-forma financial information is based on the Company's preliminary assignment of purchase price for Empaque and therefore subject to adjustment upon finalization. Pro-forma results excludes the potential realization of cost savings relating to integration of the companies and the impact of divestitures required to obtain regulatory approval for the Mivisa acqusition. Further, the pro-forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition and related financing had been consummated on the assumed completion dates, nor are they indicative of future results.

Receivables [Abstract]
Receivables	Receivables 2015 2014 Accounts receivable $ 827 $ 940 Less: allowance for doubtful accounts (83 ) (88 ) Net trade receivables 744 852 Miscellaneous receivables 168 179 $ 912 $ 1,031 The Company uses receivables securitization and factoring facilities in the normal course of business as part of managing its cash flows. The Company accounts for transfers under its securitization facilities as sales because the Company sells full title and ownership in the underlying receivables and has met the criteria for control of the receivables to be considered transferred. The Company accounts for its factoring arrangements as either sales or secured borrowing based on whether it has transferred control over the factored receivables. The Company’s continuing involvement in factored receivables accounted for as sales is limited to servicing the receivables. The Company receives adequate compensation for servicing the receivables and no servicing asset or liability is recorded. At December 31, amounts securitized or factored were as follows: 2015 2014 Accounted for as secured borrowings $ 10 $ 19 Accounted for as sales 716 615 Certain of the Company’s securitization facilities include a deferred purchase price component. As consideration for the sale of its receivables, the Company receives a cash payment and a new asset, the deferred purchase price receivable from the purchaser, which will be paid to the Company as payments on the receivables are collected from the account debtors. As the criteria for sale accounting have been met, the Company derecognizes the entire amount of receivables sold from its balance sheet and recognizes an asset at fair value for the deferred purchase price receivable as well as the cash received. As the deferred purchase price is not a trade receivable, it is reported in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s balance sheet. As receipt of the deferred purchase price coincides with collections of the underlying receivables, the collection period is short in duration. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the amount of deferred purchase price included in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $105 and $76 . The net change in the deferred purchase price receivable is reflected in the receivables line item in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This activity is reflected as an operating cash flow because the related customer receivables are the result of an operating activity with an insignificant, short-term interest rate risk. In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded expenses related to securitization and factoring facilities of $12 , $12 and $10 as interest expense.

Certain of the leases contain renewal or purchase options, but the leases do not contain significant contingent rental payments, escalation clauses, rent holidays, rent concessions or leasehold improvement incentives. Under long-term operating leases, minimum annual rentals are $47 in 2016, $33 in 2017, $19 in 2018, $10 in 2019, $7 in 2020 and $46 thereafter. Such rental commitments have been reduced by minimum sublease rentals of $6 due under non-cancelable subleases. Rental expense (net of sublease rental income) was $53 , $60 and $65 in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The Company did not have any significant capital leases at December 31, 2015 .

Asbestos-Related Liabilities

Liability for Asbestos and Environmental Claims [Abstract]
Asbestos-Related Liabilities	Asbestos-Related Liabilities Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. (“Crown Cork”) is one of many defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed throughout the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These claims arose from the insulation operations of a U.S. company, the majority of whose stock Crown Cork purchased in 1963. Approximately ninety days after the stock purchase, this U.S. company sold its insulation assets and was later merged into Crown Cork. Prior to 1998, amounts paid to asbestos claimants were covered by a fund made available to Crown Cork under a 1985 settlement with carriers insuring Crown Cork through 1976, when Crown Cork became self-insured. The fund was depleted in 1998 and the Company has no remaining coverage for asbestos-related costs. In recent years, the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming enacted legislation that limits asbestos-related liabilities under state law of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The legislation, which applies to future and, with the exception of Arkansas, Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming, pending claims at the time of enactment, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the fair market value of the predecessor's total gross assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total value of its predecessor's assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has integrated the legislation into its claims defense strategy. The Company cautions, however, that the legislation may be challenged and there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate effect of the legislation on Crown Cork. In June 2003, the State of Texas enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities in Texas courts of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The Texas legislation, which applies to future claims and pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the total gross value of the predecessor’s assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total adjusted value of its predecessor’s assets. In October 2010, the Texas Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision, Barbara Robinson v. Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., No. 14-04-00658-CV, Fourteenth Court of Appeals, Texas, which had upheld the dismissal of an asbestos-related case against Crown Cork. The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas legislation was unconstitutional under the Texas Constitution when applied to asbestos-related claims pending against Crown Cork when the legislation was enacted in June of 2003. The Company believes that the decision of the Texas Supreme Court is limited to retroactive application of the Texas legislation to asbestos-related cases that were pending against Crown Cork in Texas on June 11, 2003 and therefore, in its accrual, continues to assign no value to claims filed after June 11, 2003. In December 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities of Pennsylvania corporations that are successors by corporate merger to companies involved with asbestos. The legislation limits the successor’s liability for asbestos to the acquired company’s asset value adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the acquired company’s adjusted asset value. In November 2004, the legislation was amended to address a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision (Ieropoli v. AC&S Corporation, et. al., No. 117 EM 2002) which held that the statute violated the Pennsylvania Constitution due to retroactive application. The Company cautions that the limitations of the statute, as amended, are subject to litigation and may not be upheld. The Company further cautions that an adverse ruling in any litigation relating to the constitutionality or applicability to Crown Cork of one or more statutes that limits the asbestos-related liability of alleged defendants like Crown Cork could have a material impact on the Company. The Company's approximate claims activity for the years ended 2015, 2014 and 2013 were as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Beginning claims 54,000 53,000 51,000 New claims 2,500 3,000 4,000 Settlements or dismissals (2,000 ) (2,000 ) (2,000 ) Ending claims 54,500 54,000 53,000 The Company's cash payments during the years ended 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 were as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Asbestos-related payments $ 30 $ 30 $ 28 Settled claims payments (included in asbestos-related payments above) 22 21 21 In the fourth quarter of each year, the Company performs an analysis of outstanding claims and categorizes by year of exposure and state filed. As of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Company's outstanding claims are: 2015 2014 Claimants alleging first exposure after 1964 16,000 16,000 Claimants alleging first exposure before or during 1964 filed in: Texas 13,000 13,000 Pennsylvania 2,000 2,000 Other states that have enacted asbestos legislation 6,000 6,000 Other states 17,500 17,000 Total claims outstanding 54,500 54,000 The outstanding claims in each period exclude approximately 19,000 inactive claims. Due to the passage of time, the Company considers it unlikely that the plaintiffs in these cases will pursue further action against the Company. The exclusion of these inactive claims had no effect on the calculation of the Company’s accrual as the claims were filed in states, as described above, where the Company’s liability is limited by statute. With respect to claimants alleging first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlements in states where the Company’s liability is limited by statute except for certain pending claims in Texas as described earlier. With respect to post-1964 claims, regardless of the existence of asbestos legislation, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlement of these claims because of increased difficulty of establishing identification of relevant insulation products as the cause of injury. Given its settlement experience with post-1964 claims, the Company does not believe that an adverse ruling in the Texas or Pennsylvania asbestos litigation cases, or in any other state that has enacted asbestos legislation, would have a material impact on the Company with respect to such claims. As of December 31, the percentage of outstanding claims related to claimants alleging serious diseases (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) are as follows: 2015 2014 2013 Total claims 22 % 22 % 21 % Pre-1964 claims in states without asbestos legislation 41 % 41 % 39 % Crown Cork has entered into arrangements with plaintiffs’ counsel in certain jurisdictions with respect to claims which are not yet filed, or asserted, against it. However, Crown Cork expects claims under these arrangements to be filed or asserted against Crown Cork in the future. The projected value of these claims is included in the Company’s estimated liability as of December 31, 2015 . As of December 31, 2015 , the Company’s accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $ 271 , including $ 231 for unasserted claims. The Company’s accrual includes estimated probable costs for claims through the year 2025 . The Company’s accrual excludes potential costs for claims beyond 2025 because the Company believes that the key assumptions underlying its accrual are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. Approximately 82% of the claims outstanding at the end of 2015 were filed by plaintiffs who do not claim a specific amount of damages or claim a minimum amount as established by court rules relating to jurisdiction; approximately 17% were filed by plaintiffs who claim damages of less than $5 ; approximately 1% were filed by plaintiffs who claim damages from $5 to less than $100 ( 73% of whom claim damages less than $25 ) and 3 were filed by plaintiffs who claim damages in excess of $100 . It is reasonably possible that the actual loss could be in excess of the Company’s accrual. However, the Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss in excess of its accrual due to uncertainty in the following assumptions that underlie the Company’s accrual and the possibility of losses in excess of such accrual: the amount of damages sought by the claimant, the Company and claimant’s willingness to negotiate a settlement, the terms of settlements of other defendants with asbestos-related liabilities, the bankruptcy filings of other defendants (which may result in additional claims and higher settlements for non-bankrupt defendants), the nature of pending and future claims (including the seriousness of alleged disease, whether claimants allege first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964 and the claimant’s ability to demonstrate the alleged link to Crown Cork), the volatility of the litigation environment, the defense strategies available to the Company, the level of future claims, the rate of receipt of claims, the jurisdiction in which claims are filed, and the effect of state asbestos legislation (including the validity and applicability of the Pennsylvania legislation to non-Pennsylvania jurisdictions, where the substantial majority of the Company’s asbestos cases are filed).

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingent Liabilities	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities The Company, along with others in most cases, has been identified by the EPA or a comparable state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a number of sites and has recorded aggregate accruals of $7 for its share of estimated future remediation costs at these sites. The Company has been identified as having either directly or indirectly disposed of commercial or industrial waste at the sites subject to the accrual, and where appropriate and supported by available information, generally has agreed to be responsible for a percentage of future remediation costs based on an estimated volume of materials disposed in proportion to the total materials disposed at each site. The Company has not had monetary sanctions imposed nor has the Company been notified of any potential monetary sanctions at any of the sites. The Company has also recorded aggregate accruals of $7 for remediation activities at various worldwide locations that are owned by the Company and for which the Company is not a member of a PRP group. Although the Company believes its accruals are adequate to cover its portion of future remediation costs, there can be no assurance that the ultimate payments will not exceed the amount of the Company’s accruals and will not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Any possible loss or range of potential loss that may be incurred in excess of the recorded accruals cannot be estimated. In March 2015, the Bundeskartellamt, or German Federal Cartel Office (“FCO”), conducted unannounced inspections of the premises of several metal packaging manufacturers, including a German subsidiary of the Company. The local court order authorizing the inspection cited FCO suspicions of anti-competitive agreements in the market for the supply of metal packaging products. The FCO’s investigation is ongoing. To date, the FCO has not officially charged the Company or any of its subsidiaries with any violations of competition law. The Company has commenced an internal investigation into the matter and has discovered instances of inappropriate conduct by certain employees of German subsidiaries of the Company. The Company is cooperating with the FCO and submitted a leniency application which disclosed the findings of its internal investigation to date and which may lead to the reduction of penalties that the FCO may impose. If the FCO finds that the Company or any of its subsidiaries violated competition law, the FCO has wide discretion to levy fines. At this stage of the investigation the Company believes that a loss is probable. The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of the FCO’s investigation and any additional losses that could be incurred, which could be material to the Company’s operating results and cash flows for the periods in which they are resolved or become reasonably estimable. The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to various other lawsuits and claims with respect to labor, environmental, securities, vendor and other matters arising out of the Company’s normal course of business. While the impact on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists, management believes that the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flow.The Company has various commitments to purchase materials, supplies and utilities as part of the ordinary conduct of business. The Company’s basic raw materials for its products are steel and aluminum, both of which are purchased from multiple sources. The Company is subject to fluctuations in the cost of these raw materials and has periodically adjusted its selling prices to reflect these movements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to fully recover any increases or fluctuations in raw material costs from its customers. The Company also has commitments for standby letters of credit and for purchases of capital assets. At December 31, 2015 , the Company was party to certain indemnification agreements covering environmental remediation, lease payments and other potential costs associated with properties sold or businesses divested. For agreements with defined liability limits the maximum potential amount of future liability was $8 . The Company accrues for costs related to these items when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 2015 , the Company also had guarantees of $26 related to the residual values of leased assets.

Transaction costs related to the acquisition of Empaque. In 2014, asset impairments and sales included charges of $44 related to the divestment of certain operations in connection with the Company's acquisition of Mivisa and $24 related to the divestment of certain operations in the Company's European Specialty Packaging business. Transaction costs were incurred in connection with the acquisitions of Mivisa and Empaque. Other costs primarily included incremental costs associated with the temporary relocation of production due to a labor dispute in the Company's Americas Beverage segment. In 2013, asset impairments and sales included a gain of $9 related to the sale of land and a building in Belgium and restructuring primarily related to cost-reduction initiatives in the Company's European Food, Aerosol and Specialty Packaging businesses.

The closures are expected to reduce costs by eliminating excess capacity and consolidating manufacturing processes. This action is expected to result in the reduction of approximately 280 employees when completed in 2017. The Company expects to incur $12 of future charges related to this action. The table below summarizes the restructuring accrual balances and utilization by cost type for this action. Termination benefits Other exit costs Total Balance at January 1, 2015 $ — $ — $ — Provisions 17 — 17 Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 17 $ — $ 17 Other Actions At December 31, 2015, the Company had an additional restructuring accrual of $12 , primarily related to past actions to reduce manufacturing capacity and headcount in its European Aerosol and Specialty Packaging businesses. The Company expects to pay the liability through 2024 as certain employees have elected to receive payments as a fixed monthly sum over future years. The Company continues to review its supply and demand profile and long-term plans in Europe and it is possible that the Company may record additional restructuring charges in the future.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends and repurchase its common stock is limited by certain restrictions in its debt agreements. These restrictions are subject to a number of exceptions, however, allowing the Company to make otherwise restricted payments. The amount of restricted payments permitted to be made, including dividends and repurchases of the Company’s common stock, may be limited to the cumulative excess of $200 plus 50% of adjusted net income plus proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options over the aggregate of restricted payments made since July 2004. Adjustments to net income may include, but are not limited to, items such as asset impairments, gains and losses from asset sales and early extinguishments of debt.

Stock-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended

Share-based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company’s shareholder-approved stock-based incentive compensation plans provide for the granting of awards in the form of stock options, deferred stock, restricted stock or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The awards may be subject to the achievement of certain performance goals, generally based on market conditions, as determined by the Plan Committee designated by the Company’s Board of Directors. There have been no awards of SARs. At December 31, 2015 , there were 4.6 million authorized shares available for future awards. Stock Options At December 31, 2015 and 2014 there were 721,690 and 944,622 options outstanding with weighted average exercise prices of $25.32 and $24.98 . There were no stock options granted in 2015 , 2014 or 2013 . The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $5 , $12 and $17 . At December 31, 2015 options outstanding had an aggregate intrinsic value of $18 and a weighted-average remaining contractual term of 1.3 years. At December 31, 2015 , there was approximately $1 of unrecognized compensation expense. Restricted and Deferred Stock Annually, the Company awards shares of restricted stock to certain senior executives in the form of time-vested restricted stock and performance-based shares. The time-vested restricted stock vests ratably over three years . The performance-based shares cliff vest at the end of three years . The number of performance-based shares that will ultimately vest is based on the level of performance achieved, ranging between 0% and 200% of the shares originally awarded and will be settled in shares of common stock. The market performance criteria is the Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”), which includes share price appreciation and dividends paid, during the three -year term of the award measured against the TSR of a peer group of companies. Participants who terminate employment because of retirement, disability or death receive accelerated vesting of their time-vested awards to the date of termination. However, restrictions will lapse on performance-based awards, if at all, on the original vesting date. The Company also issues shares of time-vesting restricted stock and deferred stock to U.S. and non-U.S. employees which vest ratably up to four years commencing one year after the grant date. A summary of restricted and deferred stock activity follows: Number of shares Non-vested shares outstanding at January 1, 2015 1,960,357 Awarded: Time-vesting 270,330 Performance-based 201,092 Released: Time-vesting (373,741 ) Performance-based shares (155,180 ) Forfeitures: Time-vesting (63,575 ) Performance-based (61,008 ) Non-vested shares outstanding at December 31, 2015 1,778,275 The average grant-date fair value of restricted stock awarded in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 follows: 2015 2014 2013 Time-vested $ 53.17 $ 45.62 $ 43.19 Performance-based 49.50 48.31 36.75 Deferred stock 55.19 49.49 43.79 The fair values of the performance-based shares awarded were calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model and the following weighted average assumptions: 2015 2014 2013 Risk-free interest rate 1.1 % 0.8 % 0.3 % Expected term (years) 3 3 3 Expected stock price volatility 17.4 % 21.5 % 22.4 % At December 31, 2015 , unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding restricted and deferred stock was $39 .

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative and Other Financial Instruments	Derivative and Other Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements Under U.S. GAAP a framework exists for measuring fair value, providing a three-tier hierarchy of pricing inputs used to report assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value. Level 1 includes inputs such as quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the report date. Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3 includes unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources. The Company has no items valued using Level 3 inputs other than certain pension plan assets. The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company applies a market approach to value its commodity price hedge contracts. Prices from observable markets are used to develop the fair value of these financial instruments and they are reported under Level 2. The Company uses an income approach to value its foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts using market information as of the reporting date, such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and are reported under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value disclosures for financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are provided later in this note. In addition, see Note Q for fair value disclosures related to debt. Derivative Financial Instruments In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s objective in managing exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales agreements that permit the pass-through of commodity price and foreign exchange rate risk to customers. For derivative financial instruments accounted for in hedging relationships, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner in which effectiveness will be assessed. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the hedging relationships are effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. When a hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting, the change in fair value from the date of the last effectiveness test is recognized in earnings. Any gain or loss which has accumulated in other comprehensive income at the date of the last effectiveness test is reclassified into earnings at the same time of the underlying exposure. Cash Flow Hedges The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. No components of the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in fair value of outstanding derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, except any ineffective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Classification of the gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon release from comprehensive income is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Contracts outstanding at December 31, 2015 mature between one and thirty-four months . When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that an anticipated transaction will occur in the originally specified period, changes to fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings. The Company uses commodity forwards to hedge anticipated purchases of various commodities, including aluminum, fuel oil and natural gas and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit. The Company also designates certain foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. The Company manages these risks at the operating unit level. The following table sets forth financial information about the impact on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and earnings from changes in fair value related to derivative instruments. Amount of gain/(loss) Amount of gain/(loss) recognized in AOCI reclassified from AOCI (effective portion) into earnings Derivatives in cash flow hedges 2015 2014 2015 2014 Foreign exchange $ (1 ) $ 4 $ (1 ) $ (2 ) (1) Commodities (32 ) 2 (18 ) (15 ) (2) Total $ (33 ) $ 6 $ (19 ) $ (17 ) (1) In 2015, a gain of $1 was recognized in cost of products sold and a loss of $2 was recognized in net sales. In 2014, a loss of $4 was recognized in cost of products sold and a gain of $2 was recognized in net sales. (2) In 2015, a loss of $23 , including a gain of $2 ( $1 net of tax) related to hedge ineffectiveness caused primarily by volatility in the metal premium component of aluminum prices, was recognized in cost of products sold and a tax benefit of $5 was recognized in income tax expense. In 2014, a loss of $21 , including a loss of $1 related to hedge ineffectiveness caused primarily by volatility in the metal premium component of aluminum prices, was recognized in cost of products sold and a tax benefit of $6 was recognized in income tax expense. For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2016, a net loss of $18 ( $14 , net of tax) is expected to be reclassified to earnings. No amounts were reclassified during the twelve months ended December 31 , 2015 and 2014 in connection with anticipated transactions that were no longer considered probable. Fair Value Hedges and Contracts Not Designated as Hedges The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as fair value hedges of recognized foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, generally trade accounts receivable and payable and unrecognized firm commitments. The notional values and maturity dates of the derivative instruments coincide with those of the hedged items. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments, excluding time value, are offset by changes in fair value of the related hedged items. Other than for firm commitments, amounts related to time value are excluded from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness and are reported in earnings. Less than $1 was reported in earnings for the twelve months ended December 31 , 2015 . Certain derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts related to intercompany debt, were not designated or did not qualify for hedge accounting; however, they are effective economic hedges as the changes in their fair value, except for time value, are offset by changes from re-measurement of the related hedged items. The Company’s primary use of these derivative instruments is to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in earnings as foreign exchange adjustments. The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges was a loss of $1 for the twelve months ended December 31 , 2015 and a loss of $7 for the twelve months ended December 31 , 2014 . The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedges was a loss of $29 for the twelve months ended December 31 , 2015 and a loss of $53 for the same period in 2014 . These adjustments were reported within translation and foreign exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were offset by changes in the fair values of the related hedged item. During the twelve months ended December 31 , 2015 , certain commodity hedges did not meet the criteria for hedge accounting and therefore the change in their fair value during the quarter was recognized in earnings. For the twelve months ended December 31 , 2015 , the Company recognized a loss of $2 ( $1 , net of tax) related to these ineffective hedges. Net Investment Hedges During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded a gain of $13 ( $10 , net of tax) in accumulated other comprehensive income related to certain debt instruments that are designated as hedges of the Company's net investment in a euro-based subsidiary.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Pensions. The Company sponsors various pension plans covering certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees, and participates in certain multi-employer pension plans. The benefits under the Company plans are based primarily on years of service and either the employees’ remuneration near retirement or a fixed dollar multiple. A measurement date of December 31 was used for all plans presented below. The components of pension expense were as follows: U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 Service cost $ 14 $ 13 $ 15 Interest cost 63 66 62 Expected return on plan assets (100 ) (104 ) (99 ) Amortization of actuarial loss 50 41 55 Amortization of prior service cost — — 1 Net periodic cost $ 27 $ 16 $ 34 Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 Service cost $ 24 $ 23 $ 24 Interest cost 127 154 138 Expected return on plan assets (172 ) (194 ) (176 ) Settlements — — (2 ) Amortization of actuarial loss 55 73 71 Amortization of prior service credit (13 ) (16 ) (14 ) Net periodic cost $ 21 $ 40 $ 41 Additional pension expense of $5 was recognized in each of 2015, 2014 and 2013 for multi-employer plans. The projected benefit obligations, accumulated benefit obligations, plan assets and funded status of the Company's U.S. and non-U.S. plans is as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2015 2014 Projected Benefit Obligations Benefit obligations at January 1 $ 1,601 $ 1,454 $ 3,750 $ 3,651 Service cost 14 13 24 23 Interest cost 63 66 127 154 Plan participants’ contributions — — 3 4 Amendments — 3 — (3 ) Settlements (5 ) — — (17 ) Actuarial (gain) / loss (69 ) 170 (62 ) 384 Acquisitions — — 102 — Benefits paid (103 ) (105 ) (190 ) (191 ) Foreign currency translation — — (241 ) (255 ) Benefit obligations at December 31 $ 1,501 $ 1,601 $ 3,513 $ 3,750 Plan Assets Fair value of plan assets at January 1 $ 1,300 $ 1,349 $ 3,410 $ 3,135 Actual return on plan assets (9 ) 54 48 623 Employer contributions 7 2 72 80 Plan participants’ contributions — — 3 4 Settlements (5 ) — — (17 ) Acquisitions — — 40 — Benefits paid (103 ) (105 ) (190 ) (191 ) Foreign currency translation — — (214 ) (224 ) Fair value of plan assets at December 31 $ 1,190 $ 1,300 $ 3,169 $ 3,410 Funded Status $ (311 ) $ (301 ) $ (344 ) $ (340 ) Accumulated benefit obligations at December 31 $ 1,463 $ 1,557 $ 3,407 $ 3,630 Information for pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets is as follows: U.S. Plans 2015 2014 Projected benefit obligations $ 1,501 $ 1,601 Accumulated benefit obligations 1,463 1,557 Fair value of plan assets 1,190 1,300 Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 Projected benefit obligations $ 3,366 $ 3,444 Accumulated benefit obligations 3,261 3,350 Fair value of plan assets 3,015 3,116 The Company’s investment strategy in its U.S. plan is designed to generate returns that are consistent with providing benefits to plan participants within the risk tolerance of the plan. Asset allocation is the primary determinant of return levels and investment risk exposure. The assets of the plan are broadly diversified in terms of securities and security types in order to limit the potential of large losses from any one security. The strategic ranges for asset allocation in the U.S. plan are as follows: U.S. equities 30 % to 40 % International equities 10 % to 15 % Fixed income 13 % to 23 % Balanced funds 15 % to 25 % Real estate 5 % to 10 % Private equity 5 % to 10 % The Company’s investment strategy in its U.K. plan, the largest non-U.S. plan, is designed to achieve a funding level of 100% within the next 11 years by targeting an expected return of 2.0% annually in excess of the expected growth in the liabilities. The Company seeks to achieve this return with a risk level commensurate with a 5% chance of the funding level falling between 4% and 8% in any one year. The strategic ranges for asset allocation in the U.K. plan are as follows: Investment grade credit 40 % to 80 % Equities 0 % to 30 % Hedge funds 0 % to 10 % Real estate 0 % to 5 % Private equity 0 % to 15 % Emerging market wealth 0 % to 15 % Alternative credit 0 % to 15 % Other 0 % to 5 % Pension assets are classified into three levels. Level 1 asset values are derived from quoted prices which are available in active markets as of the report date. Level 2 asset values are derived from other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the report date. Level 3 asset values are derived from unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources. Equity securities are valued at the latest quoted prices taken from the primary exchange on which the security trades. Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of shares held at year-end. Fixed income securities, including government issued debt, corporate debt and asset-backed and structured debt securities are valued using market inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other reference data including market research publications. Derivatives, which consist mainly of interest rate swaps, are valued using a discounted cash flow pricing model based on observable market data. Investment funds, hedge funds and private equity funds are valued at the NAV at year-end. The values assigned to private equity funds are based upon assessments of each underlying investment, incorporating valuations that consider the evaluation of financing and sale transactions with third parties, expected cash flows and market-based information, including comparable transactions, and performance multiples among other factors. Real estate investments are based on third party appraisals. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair value. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in different fair value measurements at the reporting date. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Expected future benefit payments as of December 31, 2015 are: U.S. plans Non-U.S. plans 2016 $ 138 $ 179 2017 105 178 2018 102 182 2019 114 185 2020 104 188 2021 - 2025 490 961 The weighted average actuarial assumptions used to calculate the benefit obligations at December 31 are: U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 Discount rate 4.4 % 4.0 % 4.8 % Compensation increase 4.6 % 4.6 % 3.0 % Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 Discount rate 3.7 % 3.4 % 4.4 % Compensation increase 2.9 % 2.7 % 3.2 % The weighted average actuarial assumptions used to calculate pension expense for each year were: U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 Discount rate 4.0 % 4.8 % 4.0 % Compensation increase 4.6 % 3.0 % 3.0 % Long-term rate of return 8.0 % 8.0 % 8.0 % Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 Discount rate 3.4 % 4.4 % 4.1 % Compensation increase 2.7 % 3.2 % 2.8 % Long-term rate of return 5.2 % 6.4 % 6.0 % The expected long-term rates of return are determined at each measurement date based on a review of the actual plan assets, the target allocation, and the historical returns of the capital markets. The U.S. plan’s 2015 assumed asset rate of return was based on a calculation using underlying assumed rates of return of 9.6% for equity securities and alternative investments, 5.5% for debt securities and 4.0% for real estate. The rate of return used for equity securities and alternative investments was based on the total return of the S&P 500 for the 25 year period ended December 31, 2014. The Company believes that the equity securities included in the S&P 500 are representative of the equity securities and alternative investments held by its U.S. plan, and that this period provides a sufficient time horizon as a basis for estimating future returns. The rate of return used for debt securities is consistent with the U.S. plan discount rate and the return on AA corporate bonds with duration equal to the plan’s liabilities. The underlying debt securities in the plan are primarily invested in various corporate and government agency securities and are benchmarked against returns on AA corporate bonds. The U.K. plan’s 2015 assumed asset rate of return was based on a calculation using underlying assumed rates of return of 8.5% for equity securities, 9.6% for alternative investments, 5.5% for debt securities and 3.4% for real estate. Equity securities in the U.K. plan were allocated approximately 39% to U.S. securities, 42% to securities in developed European countries, and 19% to securities in emerging markets. The assumed rate of return for equity securities and alternative investments represents the weighted average 25 year return of equity securities in these markets. The Company believes that the equity securities included in the related market indexes are representative of the equity securities and alternative investments held by its U.K. plan, and that this period provides a sufficient time horizon as a basis for estimating future returns. Other Postretirement Benefit Plans. The Company sponsors unfunded plans to provide health care and life insurance benefits to pensioners and survivors. Generally, the medical plans pay a stated percentage of medical expenses reduced by deductibles and other coverages. Life insurance benefits are generally provided by insurance contracts. The Company reserves the right, subject to existing agreements, to change, modify or discontinue the plans. A measurement date of December 31 was used for the plans presented below. The components of net postretirement benefits cost are as follows: Other Postretirement Benefits 2015 2014 2013 Service cost $ 1 $ 2 $ 3 Interest cost 7 12 13 Amortization of prior service credit (37 ) (34 ) (39 ) Amortization of actuarial loss 4 6 10 Net periodic benefit cost $ (25 ) $ (14 ) $ (13 ) Changes in the benefit obligations were: 2015 2014 Benefit obligations at January 1 $ 241 $ 274 Service cost 1 2 Interest cost 7 12 Amendments (52 ) — Actuarial gain (19 ) (23 ) Curtailment (3 ) — Benefits paid (17 ) (19 ) Foreign currency translation (7 ) (5 ) Benefit obligations at December 31 $ 151 $ 241 Changes in the net loss and prior service credit for the Company’s postretirement benefit plans were: 2015 2014 2013 Net loss Prior service Net loss Prior service Net loss Prior service Balance at January 1 $ 69 $ (211 ) $ 97 $ (246 ) $ 157 $ (269 ) Reclassification to net periodic benefit cost (4 ) 37 (6 ) 34 (10 ) 39 Current year loss (18 ) — (24 ) — (49 ) — Amendments — (51 ) — — — (18 ) Foreign currency translation — 2 1 (1 ) 2 Balance at December 31 $ 47 $ (225 ) $ 69 $ (211 ) $ 97 $ (246 ) The estimated portions of the net losses and prior service credits that are expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost/(credit) in 2016 are $4 and $(41) . In 2015, the U.S. plan was amended to eliminate or reduce certain health and life insurance coverage benefits. Expected future benefit payments, as of December 31, 2015, net of expected Medicare Part D subsidies of $4 in the aggregate are: Benefit Payments 2016 $ 14 2017 13 2018 13 2019 12 2020 12 2021 - 2024 53 The assumed health care cost trend rates at December 31, 2015 are as follows: Health care cost trend rate assumed for 2016 5.5 % Rate that the cost trend rate gradually declines to 4.4 % Year that the rate reaches the rate it is assumed to remain 2027 A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects: One percentage point Increase Decrease Effect on total service and interest cost $ 1 $ 1 Effect on postretirement benefit obligation $ 6 $ 5 Weighted average discount rates used to calculate the benefit obligations at the end of each year and the cost for each year are presented below. 2015 2014 2013 Benefit obligations 3.9 % 4.0 % 4.8 % Cost 4.0 % 4.8 % 4.1 % Employee Savings Plan. The Company sponsors a Savings Investment Plan which covers substantially all U.S. salaried employees who are at least 21 years of age. The Company matches up to 50% of 3% of a participant’s compensation and the total Company contributions were $2 in each of the last three years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company sponsors an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which covers all U.S. employees with one or more years of service who are non-officers and non-highly compensated as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible participants contribute 85% of the quarter-ending market price towards the purchase of each common share. The Company’s contribution is equivalent to 15% of the quarter-ending market price. Total shares purchased under the plan in 2015 and 2014 were 25,917 and 25,351 and the Company’s contributions were less than $1 in both years.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The components of income before income taxes and equity earnings were as follows: 2015 2014 2013 U.S. $ 18 $ 78 $ 116 Foreign 621 438 460 $ 639 $ 516 $ 576 The provision for income taxes consisted of the following: 2015 2014 2013 Current tax: U.S. federal $ 6 $ 11 $ 11 State and foreign 147 113 87 $ 153 $ 124 $ 98 Deferred tax: U.S. federal $ 12 $ 28 $ 41 State and foreign 13 (111 ) 9 25 (83 ) 50 Total $ 178 $ 41 $ 148 The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. statutory federal income tax rate to pre-tax income as a result of the following items: 2015 2014 2013 U.S. statutory rate at 35% $ 224 $ 181 $ 203 Tax on foreign income (74 ) (67 ) (53 ) Valuation allowance 21 (70 ) 1 Non-deductible impairment charges — 18 — Tax law changes 4 (17 ) 11 Other items, net 3 (4 ) (14 ) Income tax provision $ 178 $ 41 $ 148 The Company benefits from certain incentives in Brazil which allow it pay reduced income taxes. The incentives expire at various dates beginning in 2018 . These incentives increased net income attributable to the Company by $8 , $12 and $11 in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The Company paid taxes of $137 , $109 and $114 in 2015, 2014 and 2013. The components of deferred taxes at December 31 are: 2015 2014 Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Tax loss and credit carryforwards $ 535 $ — $ 589 $ — Postretirement and postemployment benefits 65 — 97 — Pensions 223 38 229 49 Property, plant and equipment 19 167 14 132 Intangible assets — 158 — 58 Asbestos 102 — 103 — Accruals and other 131 98 123 114 Valuation allowances (241 ) — (245 ) — Total $ 834 $ 461 $ 910 $ 353 At December 31, 2014, $99 of deferred tax assets were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Tax loss and credit carryforwards expire as follows: Year Amount 2016 $ 5 2017 22 2018 32 2019 30 2020 44 Thereafter 294 Unlimited 108 Tax loss and credit carryforwards expiring after 2020 include $151 of U.S. state tax loss carryforwards and $116 of U.S. federal foreign tax credits. The unlimited category includes $75 of French tax loss carryforwards. The carryforwards presented above exclude $59 of U.S. windfall tax benefits that will be recorded in additional paid-in capital when realized. Realization of any portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the availability of taxable income in the relevant jurisdictions. The Company considers all sources of taxable income, including (i) taxable income in any available carry back period, (ii) the reversal of taxable temporary differences, (iii) tax-planning strategies, and (iv) taxable income expected to be generated in the future other than from reversing temporary differences. The Company also considers whether there have been cumulative losses in recent years. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s valuation allowances at December 31, 2015 include $185 related to U.S. state loss carryforwards and $33 in Canada. The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against the portion of U.S. state tax loss carryforwards that the Company does not believe are more likely than not to be utilized prior to their expiration. The Company’s ability to utilize state tax loss carryforwards is impacted by several factors including taxable income, expiration dates, limitations imposed by certain states on the amount of loss carryforwards that can be used in a given year to offset taxable income and whether the state permits the Company to file a combined return. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in Canada. Although the Company's Canadian operations generated a profit in 2015, given the history of operating losses, at this time, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that it will realize its deferred tax benefits in Canada. In 2014, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $86 to fully release the valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets in France. In recent years, the Company's operating profits in France were offset by interest expense. In the third quarter of 2014, the Company refinanced its bonds issued by a French subsidiary resulting in significant interest savings. The impact of the refinancing and current low interest rate environment has significantly lowered the Company's interest expense in France. As the Company is currently generating taxable income in France and is projecting future taxable income in France, the Company has fully released its valuation allowance. Due to the Company's high level of debt in France, a significant increase in interest rates could cause the Company to incur losses which may result in recording additional valuation allowance in the future. The Company's loss carryforwards in France do not expire. Management’s estimates of the appropriate valuation allowance in any jurisdiction involve a number of assumptions and judgments, including the amount and timing of future taxable income. Should future results differ from management’s estimates, it is possible there could be future adjustments to the valuation allowances that would result in an increase or decrease in tax expense in the period such changes in estimates are made. The Company has not provided deferred taxes on $838 of earnings in certain non-U.S. subsidiaries because such earnings are indefinitely reinvested in its international operations. Upon distribution of such earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to incremental tax. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of tax that might be payable. A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits follows: 2015 2014 2013 Balance at January 1 $ 26 $ 31 $ 35 Additions for prior year tax positions 13 — — Lapse of statute of limitations — (1 ) (5 ) Settlements (9 ) — — Foreign currency translation (2 ) (4 ) 1 Balance at December 31 $ 28 $ 26 $ 31 The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits include potential liabilities related to transfer pricing, foreign withholding taxes, and non-deductibility of expenses and exclude $1 of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2015. In 2015, the increase for prior year positions related to an unfavorable tax court ruling in Spain. The total interest and penalties recorded in income tax expense was $3 in 2015 and less than $1 in 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2015, unrecognized tax benefits of $28 , if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase over the next twelve months and are expected to decrease as open tax years lapse or claims are settled. The Company is unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible changes in its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months as it is unable to predict when, or if, the tax authorities will commence their audits, the time needed for the audits, and the audit findings that will require settlement with the applicable tax authorities, if any. The tax years that remained subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction as of December 31, 2015 were 2005 and subsequent years for France; 2006 and subsequent years for the UK; 2009 and subsequent years for Spain and Germany; 2010 and subsequent years for Italy and Mexico; 2011 and subsequent years for Brazil and Canada; and 2012 and subsequent years for the U.S.. In addition, tax authorities in certain jurisdictions, including the U.S., may examine earlier years when tax carryforwards that were generated in those years are subsequently utilized.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information The Company’s business is organized geographically within three divisions, Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. Within the Americas and European divisions, the Company has determined that it has the following reportable segments organized along a combination of product lines and geographic areas: Americas Beverage and North America Food within the Americas, and European Beverage and European Food within Europe. The Company's Asia Pacific division is a reportable segment. Non-reportable segments include the Company’s aerosol can businesses in North America and Europe, the Company’s specialty packaging business in Europe and the Company’s tooling and equipment operations in the U.S. and United Kingdom. The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment income. Segment income, which is not a defined term under GAAP, is defined by the Company as income from operations adjusted to add back provisions for asbestos and restructuring and other, the impact of fair value adjustments related to the sale of inventory acquired in an acquisition and the timing impact of hedge ineffectiveness. Segment income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

Corporate and unallocated items include corporate and division administrative costs, technology costs, and unallocated items such as the U.S. and U.K. pension plan costs. A reconciliation of segment income of reportable segments to income before income taxes and equity earnings for the three years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 follows: 2015 2014 2013 Segment income of reportable segments $ 1,132 $ 1,089 $ 980 Segment income of non-reportable segments 83 92 102 Corporate and unallocated items (196 ) (197 ) (165 ) Provision for asbestos (26 ) (45 ) (32 ) Restructuring and other (66 ) (129 ) (34 ) Loss from early extinguishments of debt (9 ) (34 ) (41 ) Interest expense (270 ) (253 ) (236 ) Interest income 11 7 5 Foreign exchange (20 ) (14 ) (3 ) Income before income taxes and equity earnings $ 639 $ 516 $ 576 For the three years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 , intercompany profit of $2 , $4 and $2 was eliminated within segment income of non-reportable segments.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Business and Principles of Consolidation	Business and Principles of Consolidation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crown Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its consolidated subsidiary companies (where the context requires, the “Company” shall include reference to the Company and its consolidated subsidiary companies). The Company manufactures and sells metal and glass packaging containers, metal closures, and canmaking equipment. These products are manufactured in the Company’s plants both within and outside the U.S. and are sold through the Company’s sales organization to the soft drink, food, citrus, brewing, household products, personal care and various other industries. The financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect management’s estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates, impacting reported results of operations and financial position. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. In deciding which entities should be reported on a consolidated basis, the Company first determines whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If an entity is a VIE, the Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary. If an entity is not a VIE, the Company consolidates those entities in which it has control, including certain subsidiaries that are not majority-owned. Certain of the Company’s agreements with noncontrolling interests contain provisions in which the Company would surrender certain decision-making rights upon a change in control of the Company. Accordingly, consolidation of these operations may no longer be appropriate subsequent to a change in control of the Company, as defined in the agreements. Investments in companies in which the Company does not have control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for by the equity method. Other investments are carried at cost.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation . For non-U.S. subsidiaries which operate in a local currency environment, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Income, expense and cash flow items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments for these subsidiaries are accumulated as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in equity. For non-U.S. subsidiaries that use a U.S. dollar functional currency, local currency inventories and property, plant and equipment are translated into U.S. dollars at approximate rates prevailing when acquired; all other assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates. Inventories charged to cost of sales and depreciation are remeasured at historical rates; all other income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates prevailing during the year. Gains and losses which result from remeasurement are included in earnings.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition . Revenue is recognized from product sales when the goods are shipped and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, returns, and other adjustments are estimated and provided for in the period that the related sales are recorded. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from net sales. Shipping and handling fees and costs from product sales are reported as cost of products sold.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation . Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period on a straight-line basis using the grant date fair value of the award and the estimated number of awards that are expected to vest. The Company’s plans provide for stock awards which may include accelerated vesting upon retirement, disability, or death of eligible employees. The Company considers a stock-based award to be vested when the service period is no longer contingent on the employee providing future service. Accordingly, the related compensation cost is recognized immediately for awards granted to retirement-eligible individuals, or over the period from the grant date to the date that retirement eligibility is achieved if less than the stated vesting period.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents . Cash equivalents represent investments with maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit are included in accounts payable.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts . Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. The allowance is determined based on a review of individual accounts for collectability, generally focusing on those accounts that are past due or experiencing financial difficulties. The current year expense to adjust the allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded within selling and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations.
Inventory Valuation	Inventory Valuation . Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost for U.S. inventories principally determined under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and for non-U.S. inventories under the FIFO or average cost method.
Property, Plant And Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment . Property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and includes expenditures for new facilities and equipment and those costs which substantially increase the useful lives or capacity of existing PP&E. Cost of constructed assets includes capitalized interest incurred during the construction and development period. Maintenance and repairs, including labor and material costs for planned major maintenance such as annual production line overhauls, are expensed as incurred. When PP&E is retired or otherwise disposed, the net carrying amount is eliminated with any gain or loss on disposition recognized in earnings at that time. Depreciation and amortization are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets described below (in years). The Company periodically reviews the estimated useful lives of its PP&E and, where appropriate, changes are made prospectively. Land improvements 25 Buildings and Building Improvements 25 – 40 Machinery and Equipment 3 – 18
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Goodwill is carried at cost and reviewed for impairment in the fourth quarter of each year or when facts and circumstances indicate goodwill may be impaired. Goodwill was allocated to the reporting units at the time of the acquisition based on the relative fair values of the reporting units. In assessing goodwill for impairment, the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company determines that an impairment is more likely than not, it will perform the two-step quantitative impairment test using a combination of market values for comparable businesses and discounted cash flow projections compared to the reporting unit's carrying value including goodwill. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, any impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its implied fair value. Definite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment when facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from their undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are written down to fair value based on either discounted cash flows or appraised values.
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets . In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets, primarily PP&E and certain identifiable intangible assets with finite lives, may be impaired, the Company performs a recoverability evaluation. If the evaluation indicates that the carrying value of an asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to its fair value, based on discounted cash flows. Long-lived assets classified as held for sale are presented in the balance sheet at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell.
Taxes on Income	Taxes on Income . The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach. Deferred taxes represent the future expected tax consequences of differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities based upon enacted tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Investment tax credits are accounted for using the deferral method. The with-and-without approach is used to account for utilization of windfall tax benefits arising from the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and only the direct impact of awards is considered when calculating the amount of windfalls or shortfalls. Income tax-related interest and penalties are reported as income tax expense.
Derivatives and Hedging	Derivatives and Hedging . All outstanding derivative financial instruments are recognized in the balance sheet at their fair values. The impact on earnings from recognizing the fair values of these instruments depends on their intended use, their hedge designation and their effectiveness in offsetting changes in the fair values of the exposures they are hedging. Changes in the fair values of instruments designated to reduce or eliminate adverse fluctuations in the fair values of recognized assets and liabilities are reported currently in earnings along with changes in the fair values of the hedged items. Changes in the effective portions of the fair values of instruments used to reduce or eliminate adverse fluctuations in cash flows of anticipated or forecasted transactions are reported in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to earnings when the related hedged items impact earnings or the anticipated transactions are no longer probable. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges or do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are reported currently in earnings. Amounts reported in earnings are classified consistent with the item being hedged. The effectiveness of derivative instruments in reducing risks associated with the hedged exposures is assessed at inception and on an ongoing basis. Any amounts excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, and any ineffective portion of designated hedges, are reported currently in earnings. Time value, a component of an instrument’s fair value, is excluded in assessing effectiveness for fair value hedges, except hedges of firm commitments, and included for cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when (i) the instrument is no longer effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the underlying hedged item, (ii) the instrument expires, is sold, terminated or exercised, or (iii) designating the instrument as a hedge is no longer appropriate. The Company formally documents all relationships between its hedging instruments and hedged items at inception, including its risk management objective and strategy for establishing various hedge relationships. Cash flows from hedging instruments are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consistent with the items being hedged.
Treasury Stock	Treasury Stock . Treasury stock is reported at par value. The excess of fair value over par value is first charged to paid-in capital, if any, and then to retained earnings.
Research and Development	Research and Development . Research, development and engineering costs of $39 in 2015 and 2014 and $36 in 2013were expensed as incurred and reported in selling and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Substantially all engineering and development costs are related to developing new products or designing significant improvements to existing products or processes. Costs primarily include employee salaries and benefits and facility costs.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications . Certain reclassifications of prior years’ data have been made to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting and Reporting Pronouncements. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In the first quarter of 2015, the Company adopted changes to the definition of discontinued operations to include only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The change did not impact the Company's financial statements in 2015. In September 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to accounting for measurement-period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment, including the impact on prior periods, be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The Company elected to early adopt this standard during the third quarter of 2015. The change did not materially impact the Company's financial statements in 2015. In April 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the liability instead of a deferred charge. The Company elected to early adopt this standard. As of December 31, 2015, the Company reclassified debt issuance costs associated with long term debt from other assets to current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt, excluding current maturities. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year classification resulting in adjustments of $2 to current maturities of long-term debt and of $63 to long-term debt, excluding current maturities. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit arrangements remain classified in other non-current assets. In December 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the classification of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The guidance requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in the balance sheet. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company elected to early adopt this standard. Prior period deferred tax asset and liability balances were not retrospectively adjusted. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to how an entity should recognize revenue. The guidance specifies that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In addition, the guidance expands the required disclosures related to revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018 with early adoption permitted beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The Company will adopt this standard on a modified retrospective basis and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations. In July 2015, the FASB issued new guidance related to the subsequent measurement of inventory. Under existing guidance, inventory is measured at the lower of cost or market, where market is defined as replacement cost, with a ceiling of net realizable value and floor of net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The new guidance requires an entity to subsequently measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
