(1)
Net contribution to earnings for the Timberlands segment includes a noncash pretax impairment charge of $147 million, recorded during second quarter 2017. This impairment was a result of our agreement to sell our Uruguayan operations, which was announced in June 2017 and completed on September 1, 2017. Refer to Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures for more information regarding this transaction.
(2)
The Real Estate & ENR segment includes the equity earnings from, investments in and advances to our Real Estate Development Ventures (as defined and described in Note 7: Related Parties), which are accounted for under the equity method.
(3)
Net contribution to earnings for the Wood Products segment includes pretax charges of $190 million and $240 million incurred in the quarter and year-to-date period ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to accrue for estimated costs to remediate an issue with certain I-joists coated with our Flak Jacket® Protection product. Refer to Note 16: Charges for Product Remediation for additional details.
(4)
Unallocated items are gains or charges not related to, or allocated to, an individual operating segment. They include a portion of items such as: share-based compensation, pension and postretirement costs, foreign exchange transaction gains and losses associated with financing, and the elimination of intersegment profit in inventory and the LIFO reserve. Additionally, amounts shown for 2016 include equity earnings from our former Timberland Venture. As of August 31, 2016, the Timberland Venture became a fully consolidated, wholly-owned subsidiary and therefore eliminated our equity method investment at that time.
(5)
Discontinued operations as presented herein consist of the operations of our former Cellulose Fibers segment. Refer to Note 3: Discontinued Operations and Other Divestitures for more information regarding our discontinued operations.
