The net (loss) gain on disposition of assets for 2013 included in the above table primarily relates to various dispositions of businesses by our Automotive segment. During the first quarter of 2013, our Automotive segment recorded a loss on disposition of assets of $47 million related to the disposal of its sintered components operations located in France. During the second quarter of 2013, our Automotive segment recorded a loss on disposition of assets of $5 million related to its connecting rod manufacturing facility located in Canada and its camshaft foundry located in the United Kingdom. During the third quarter of 2013, our Automotive segment recorded a loss on disposition of assets relating to its fuel pump business of $6 million, which is net of a $19 million OPEB curtailment gain, as discussed further in Note 11, "Pension, Other Post-employment Benefits and Employee Benefit Plans. Because the financial results from the disposition of these businesses were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our consolidated financial statements, we did not reflect the dispositions of these businesses as discontinued operations in either the current period or on a retrospective basis. During the second quarter of 2013, our Food Packaging segment recorded a loss of $23 million related to the settlement of a certain tax matter. See Note 17, "Commitments and Contingencies - Food Packaging," for further discussion.
