Business Disposals

In the second quarter of 2015, we finalized the closure of a dormant distribution business in Singapore for an immaterial amount, which was recorded in "Other income (expense), net."

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.
