Loss from Discontinued Operations, net of tax during the year end December 31, 2013 also includes an additional income tax benefit of $2.0 million resulting from the actual tax gain from the Sale of Sonoma as included in the 2012 tax return, which was filed during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Loss on Discontinued Operations
Our planned sale of the Oak Grove and Pinnacle mine assets represented a strategic shift in our business. For that reason, our previously reported North American Coal operating segment results for all periods, prior to the March 31, 2015 held for sale determination, are classified as discontinued operations. On December 22, 2015, we completed the sale of the Oak Grove and Pinnacle mines, which marked our exit from the coal business. Historic results also include our CLCC assets, which were sold during the fourth quarter of 2014.
