Business Disposals

In the first quarter of 2015, we disposed of an African sourcing business for the bananas segment resulting in a loss of less than $1 million, which was recorded in "Other income (expense), net."

In the first quarter of 2014, we disposed of a non-core healthy snacking business in Europe, resulting in a loss of $3 million, which was recorded in “Other income (expense), net.” Of this loss, $1 million related to cash payments upon disposal. This business represented approximately $2 million in annual net sales and had an insignificant effect on operating income.
