During the year ended December 31, 2014, the loss was primarily due to liabilities associated with an unfavorable ruling, during 2014, in connection with a previous disposition.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a $71 million gain on dispositions (net of tax) primarily as a result of the reversal of a reserve associated with an uncertain tax position, which was related to a previous disposition. The applicable statute of limitation for this tax position lapsed during 2013 (see Note 12). Additionally, a gain of $1 million (net of tax) resulted from the favorable insurance recovery of certain liabilities associated with a previously disposed of subsidiary of ITT Corporation, which we acquired in 1998.
