Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Dispositions | DISPOSITIONS In fiscal 2015, we sold the Brazil and Mexico chicken production operations which were included in Other within our segment reporting to JBS SA ("JBS") for a combined $575 million in cash, which was subject to certain adjustments. We completed the sale of the Brazil operation in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and received net proceeds of $148 million including working capital, net debt adjustments and cash transferred. The sale did not result in a significant gain or loss as the carrying value of the Brazil operation approximated the sales proceeds at the time of sale. We completed the sale of the Mexico operation in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and received net proceeds of approximately $374 million including working capital, net debt adjustments and cash transferred. As a result of the sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $161 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, which was reflected in Cost of Sales in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. To better align our overall production capacity with then-current cattle supplies, we ceased beef operations at our Denison, Iowa plant in fiscal 2015. As a result, we recorded $12 million in closure and impairment charges during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. These charges impacted the Beef segment’s operating income and were reflected in Cost of Sales in our Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we recorded a $59 million impairment and other related charges associated with a Prepared Foods project designed to optimize the combined Tyson and Hillshire Brands network capacity and to enhance manufacturing efficiencies for the future. As a result of this project, we expect to sell our Chicago, Illinois hospitality plant in June 2016 and close our Jefferson, Wisconsin plant in the back half of fiscal 2016. These charges were reflected in the Prepared Foods segment’s operating income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, of which $49 million was included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in Cost of Sales and $10 million was included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in Selling, General and Administrative. Additionally, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, as part of our ongoing efforts to increase efficiencies in our Chicken business, we closed our Buena Vista, Georgia plant. The closure costs did not have a significant impact on the Company's operating results.
