Best Buy Europe – During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we completed the sale of our 50% ownership interest in Best Buy Europe to CPW in return for the following consideration upon closing: net cash of £341 million ($526 million); £80 million ($123 million) of ordinary shares of CPW; £25 million ($39 million), plus 2.5% interest, to be paid by CPW on June 26, 2014; and £25 million ($39 million), plus 2.5% interest, to be paid by CPW on June 26, 2015. We subsequently sold the ordinary shares of CPW for $123 million on July 3, 2013. We received the first such deferred cash payment on June 26, 2014 and the second deferred cash payment on June 26, 2015. In conjunction with our agreement to sell our 50% ownership interest in Best Buy Europe, we entered into a deal-contingent foreign currency forward contract to hedge £455 million of the total £471 million of net proceeds. The contract was settled in cash following the completion of the sale on June 26, 2013, and we recognized a $2 million loss in gain (loss) from discontinued operations on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings in fiscal 2014. The aggregate financial results of all discontinued operations for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 were as follows ($ in millions):
| 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Revenue | $ | 217 |  |  | $ | 1,564 |  |  | $ | 4,615 |
Restructuring charges(1) | 1 |  |  | 18 |  |  | 110 |
Loss from discontinued operations before income tax benefit (expense)(2) | (8 | ) |  | (12 | ) |  | (235 | )
Income tax benefit (expense)(3) | (1 | ) |  | — |  |  | 31 |
Gain on sale of discontinued operations(4) | 99 |  |  | 1 |  |  | 32 |

(1) | See Note 4, Restructuring Charges, for further discussion of the restructuring charges associated with discontinued operations.
(2) | Includes a $175 million impairment to write down the book value of our investment in Best Buy Europe to fair value in fiscal 2014.
(3) | Income tax benefit for fiscal 2014 includes a $27 million benefit related to a tax allocation between continuing and discontinued operations and a $15 million benefit related to the impairment of our investment in Best Buy Europe. The fiscal 2014 effective tax rate for discontinued operations differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the previously mentioned tax allocation, sale of mindSHIFT, restructuring charges and the impairment of our investment in Best Buy Europe. The sale of mindSHIFT, restructuring charges and impairment generally included no related tax benefit. The deferred tax assets related to the sale of mindSHIFT and restructuring charges generally resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance in an equal amount, of which the investment impairment is not tax deductible.
(4) | Gain in fiscal 2014 is primarily comprised of the following: $28 million gain (with no tax impact) from sale of Best Buy Europe fixed-line business in Switzerland in the first quarter; $24 million gain (with no tax impact) from the sale of Best Buy Europe in the second quarter; and loss of $18 million from sale of mindSHIFT in the fourth quarter. Gain in fiscal 2016 of $99 million is from sale of Five Star in the first quarter.
