Overview of Q4 2013 OI&E and FX

In Q4, we recognized $125M of Interest and Other Income, net.

In Q4, we recognized $215M of interest income earned on our investments, $23M in net
realized gains, and $21M of interest expense on our long-term debt.

We recognized $108M of foreign exchange loss, of which $56M related to the cost of our
FX cash flow hedging program.

Excluding gains related to our foreign exchange risk management program, had foreign
exchange rates remained constant from the third quarter of 2013 through the fourth
quarter of 2013, our Google segment revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 would have
been $156M lower. Excluding gains related to our foreign exchange risk management
program, had foreign exchange rates remained constant from the fourth quarter of 2012
through the fourth quarter of 2013, our Google segment revenues in the fourth quarter of
2013 would have been $141M higher.

Our FX cash flow hedging program allowed us to recognize a benefit of approximately


$3M to Google international revenue this quarter.
