During
2015,
the Company recognized a cumulative foreign currency translation loss as a result of the liquidation of the Company’s investment in Chile. Amounts were reclassified on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income as follows (i)
$19.6
million of loss was reclassified to Gain on sale of operating properties, net of tax, offset by (ii)
$0.8
million of gain was reclassified to Equity in income of joint ventures, net.
(2)
Amounts reclassified to Interest, dividends and other investment income on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.
 
At
December
31,
2016,
the Company had a net
$6.3
million of unrealized cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment (“CTA”) gains relating to its foreign entity investments in Canada. CTA results from currency fluctuations between local currency and the U.S. dollar during the period in which the Company held its investment. CTA amounts are subject to future changes resulting from ongoing fluctuations in the respective foreign currency exchange rates. Under U.S. GAAP, the Company is required to release CTA balances into earnings when the Company has substantially liquidated its investment in a foreign entity. During
2015,
the Company began selling properties within its Canadian portfolio and as such, the Company
may,
in the near term, substantially liquidate its remaining investment in Canada, which will require the then unrealized gain on foreign currency translation to be recognized as a benefit to earnings.
