Net cash from operating activities decreased $285 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to a reduction in net income, somewhat offset by a decrease in year-to-date contributions to our company-sponsored, defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans. Additional impacts included:
A favorable reduction in hedge margin collateral outflows, driven by changes in the fair value of derivative contracts used in our currency hedging programs and an increase in the threshold at which we exchange collateral with counterparties.
Unfavorable changes in working capital, driven by an increase in our 401(k) plan contributions, partially offset by a 2023 payment for deferred employer payroll taxes that did not repeat.
As of June 30, 2024, approximately $2.0 billion of our total worldwide holdings of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were held by foreign subsidiaries. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors, including the timing of cash receipts, strategic operating needs and disbursements in the normal course of business. Cash provided by operating activities in the U.S. continues to be our primary source of funds to finance domestic operating needs, capital expenditures, share repurchases, pension contributions and dividend payments to shareowners. All cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries are generally available for distribution to the U.S. without any U.S. federal income taxes. Any such distributions may be subject to foreign withholding and U.S. state taxes. When amounts earned by foreign subsidiaries are expected to be indefinitely reinvested, no accrual for taxes is provided.
As of June 30, 2024, $10 million of cash held by our truckload brokerage business, Coyote, was reported within Assets held for salein our consolidated balance sheet. For more information, see note 18 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
