Operating Real Estate During 2015, the Company disposed of 89 consolidated operating properties and eight out-parcels, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $492.5 million.

Additionally, during 2015, the Company disposed of its remaining operating property in Chile for a sales price of $51.3 million. This transaction resulted in the release of a cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $19.6 million due to the Company’s liquidation of its investment in Chile offset by a gain on sale of $1.8 million, after income tax expense. During 2014, the Company disposed of 90 consolidated operating properties, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $833.5 million, including 27 operating properties in Latin America. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued operations on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, resulted in an aggregate gain of $203.3 million, before income taxes and noncontrolling interests and aggregate impairment charges of $178.0 million, before income taxes and noncontrolling interests, including $92.9 million related to the release of a cumulative foreign currency translation loss due to the Company’s substantial liquidation of its investment in Mexico. The Company provided financing aggregating $52.7 million on three of these transactions which bore interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 250 basis points to 7% per annum, which matured and were repaid in full during 2015. The Company evaluated these transactions pursuant to the FASB’s real estate guidance to determine sale and gain recognition. During 2013, the Company disposed of 36 consolidated operating properties and three out-parcels in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $279.5 million. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, resulted in an aggregate gain of $25.4 million and impairment charges of $61.9 million, before income taxes. Additionally, during 2013, the Company sold eight consolidated properties in its Latin American portfolio for an aggregate sales price of $115.4 million. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income, resulted in an aggregate gain of $23.3 million, before income taxes, and aggregate impairment charges of $26.9 million (including the release of the cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $7.8 million associated with the sale of the Company’s interest in two properties within Brazil, which represented a full liquidation of the Company’s investment in Brazil), before income taxes and noncontrolling interests. Land Sales During 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company sold 13, three and nine land parcels, respectively, for an aggregate sales price of $31.5 million, $5.1 million and $18.2 million, respectively.

The gains from these transactions are recorded as other income, which is included in Other income/(expense), net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
