ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
We are focused on capturing the global growth we see in our premium product markets of beverage can, automotive and specialties. We continually analyze our product portfolio to ensure we are focused on growing in attractive market segments. The following transactions relate to exiting certain non-core operations and are steps to align our growth strategy in the premium product markets.
In March 2014, we made a decision to sell our hydroelectric power generation operations, including our investment in the Consorcio Candonga joint venture, in Brazil. In April 2014, we entered into agreements to sell the hydroelectric generation operations and our share of the Consorcio Candonga joint venture to two separate parties. The sales are expected to take place within the next twelve months and are pending regulatory approval. The related assets of $73 million have been classified as "Assets held for sale" in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014. The estimated fair market value of the hydroelectric power assets is in excess of the net book value.
In May 2014, we recognized a $4 million "Gain on assets held for sale" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations upon receipt of a non-refundable milestone payment related to a land and mining rights sale agreement in Brazil. We expect to receive an additional $4 million within this fiscal year.
In June 2014, we sold our consumer foil operations in North America to a third party for $31 million in cash (exclusive of transaction fees). We recognized a $7 million "Gain on assets held for sale" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. As of March 31, 2014, these assets and liabilities were classified as "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale" in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale (in millions).
