Segment operating profit this quarter includes a $146 million impairment charge related to the Company s planned divestment of its equity method investments in Gruma and Gruma-related joint ventures. LIFO inventory charges this quarter were $53 million from the effect of increasing agricultural commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuation reserves, compared to credits of $126 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 caused by decreasing agricultural commodity prices.
Corporate results were a loss of $203 million this quarter compared to a loss of $61 million last year. The effects of changing commodity prices on LIFO inventory valuations resulted in a charge of $53 million compared to a credit of $126 million for the prior year quarter. Corporate interest expense - net increased $9 million mostly due to the absence of interest income received in the prior year s quarter related to a contingent gain settlement. Unallocated corporate costs were lower primarily due to lower employee and employee benefit-related costs and administrative expenses. The increase in other income is primarily due to improved earnings from corporate investments.
