(1) The gains in 2017 related to the sale of the crop risk services business and disposals of other individually insignificant assets in the ordinary course of business, partially offset by an adjustment of the proceeds of the 2015 sale of the cocoa business. The gains in 2016 primarily related to recovery of loss provisions and gain related to the sale of the Company’s Brazilian sugar ethanol facilities, realized contingent consideration on the December 2012 sale of the Company’s equity investment in Gruma S.A. de C.V., and revaluation of the remaining interest to settlement value in conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining interest in Amazon Flavors, partially offset by a loss on sale of asset. The gains in 2015 related primarily to the sale of the cocoa, chocolate, and lactic businesses, revaluation of the Company’s previously held investments in North Star Shipping, Minmetal, and Eaststarch C.V. in conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining interests, and the sale of a 50% interest in the Barcarena export terminal facility in Brazil. (2) The charges in 2017 consisted of asset impairments related to the closure of a facility in the WFSI segment and the reconfiguration of the Company’s Peoria, Illinois ethanol complex in the Corn Processing segment, settlement charges, and several individually insignificant asset impairments and restructuring charges. The charges in 2016 consisted of several individually insignificant asset impairments and restructuring charges. The charges in 2015 consisted of asset impairments related primarily to certain international Oilseeds Processing facilities, asset impairments, loss provisions, and exit charges related to the sugar ethanol facilities in Brazil, goodwill impairment charges, an inventory writedown, and several individually insignificant asset impairments and restructuring charges. (3) Hedge timing effects relate to hedge ineffectiveness associated with documented hedge programs.
