During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we repurchased $560.3 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2043, $341.8 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2039, $139.9 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2019, $110.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2026, $85.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2020, and $163.0 million of aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2023, in each case prior to maturity in a tender offer including a $109.5 million tender premium, resulting in a net loss of $23.9 million as a cost of early retirement of debt. During the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we repaid the entire principal balance of $750.0 million of our 1.30% senior notes on the maturity date of January 25, 2016. The repayment was primarily funded through the issuance of term loans totaling $600.0 million, which were repaid in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 with the proceeds from the divestiture of our Private Brands business. See Note 6 for repayment of senior notes issued by Ralcorp in an aggregate principal amount of $33.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2016. During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we repaid the entire principal balance of $250.0 million of our 1.35% senior notes on the maturity date of September 10, 2015. During fiscal 2015, we repurchased $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due in 2023, $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2043, $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2019, $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2018, and $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2017, in each case prior to maturity in a tender offer, resulting in a net loss of $16.3 million as a cost of early retirement of debt, including a $9.5 million tender premium. During the first quarter of fiscal 2015, we repaid the remaining borrowings of our unsecured term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility") of $900.0 million (with interest rate at LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum), prior to maturity, resulting in a loss of $8.3 million as a cost of early retirement of debt. The Term Loan Facility was terminated after repayment. During fiscal 2015, we issued $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes due July 21, 2016. The notes bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.37% per annum. During fiscal 2014, we repaid the entire principal balance of $500.0 million of our 5.875% senior notes, which were due April 15, 2014. Net interest expense consists of:
| 2016 |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Long-term debt | $ | 304.5 |  |  | $ | 335.0 |  |  | $ | 391.9 |
Short-term debt | 2.4 |  |  | 2.8 |  |  | 1.5 |
Interest income | (1.3 | ) |  | (1.2 | ) |  | (2.3 | )
Interest capitalized | (7.8 | ) |  | (6.6 | ) |  | (13.6 | )
| $ | 297.8 |  |  | $ | 330.0 |  |  | $ | 377.5 |
Interest paid from continuing operations was $323.8 million, $335.4 million, and $393.7 million in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Our net interest expense in fiscal 2015 and 2014 was reduced by $7.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, due to the impact of the interest rate swap contracts designated as fair value hedges entered into in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The interest rate swaps effectively converted the interest on our senior long-term debt instruments maturing in fiscal 2019 and 2020 from fixed rate to floating rate (see Note 18). These interest rate swap contracts were terminated during the third quarter of fiscal 2015. The cumulative adjustments to the fair value of the debt instruments that were hedged (the effective portion of the hedges), totaling $12.6 million, will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining lives of the debt instruments (through fiscal 2020). Our net interest expense was reduced by $2.1 million and $0.8 million for fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015, respectively, as a result of this amortization. We entered into interest rate swaps during fiscal 2010 that effectively changed our interest rate on the senior long-term debt instrument that matured in fiscal 2014 from fixed to variable. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, we terminated these interest rate swap contracts and received proceeds of $28.2 million. The cumulative adjustment to the fair value of the debt instrument that was hedged (the effective portion of the hedge) was amortized as a reduction of interest expense over the remaining life of the debt instrument (through fiscal 2014). Net interest expense for fiscal 2014 was reduced by $8.6 million due to the impact of the interest rate swap contracts. As a result of our acquisition of Ralcorp, senior unsecured notes issued in exchange for senior notes issued by Ralcorp of $716.0 million were recorded at fair value. The fair value adjustment on these notes was $156.8 million and is being amortized within interest expense over the life of the respective notes. The portion written off related to the third quarter of fiscal 2016 tender offers totaled $94.2 million. Our net interest expense in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014 was reduced by $6.7 million, $7.4 million, and $6.7 million, respectively, as a result of this amortization.
