Other Income and Expenses [Abstract] |
Other Income And Charges | OTHER INCOME AND CHARGES During fiscal 2016, we recorded $12 million of equity earnings in joint ventures and $4 million in net foreign currency exchange losses, which were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other, net. During fiscal 2015, following the sale of our Mexico and Brazil chicken production operations, we reviewed our strategy and outlook for the remaining international businesses, which operations include our chicken production operations in China. Despite our belief in the potential for this business, our Chinese operations had not achieved profitability. Given the losses that were generated in this business, changes in the strategy and management of the business, and the depressed economic outlook for China at that time, we assessed our Chinese operations for potential impairment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result of this evaluation, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we recorded a $169 million impairment charge. The impairment was comprised of $126 million of property, plant and equipment, $23 million of goodwill and $20 million of other assets. The China operation is included in Other for segment reporting and the impairment was included in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During fiscal 2015, we recorded $12 million of equity earnings in joint ventures and $21 million of gains on the sale of equity securities, which were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other, net. During fiscal 2014, we recorded $11 million of equity earnings in joint ventures, $3 million in net foreign currency exchange gains, $6 million of other than temporary impairment related to an available-for-sale security and $60 million of costs associated with bridge financing facilities for the Hillshire Brands acquisition, which were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other, net.
