2. Discontinued Operations

In the fourth quarter of 2020, we completed our plan to exit our Logistics business, which was a component of the Business Services reporting segment. The Logistics business was comprised of DLS Worldwide, International Logistics, Print Logistics and Courier Logistics.  On November 2, 2020, we sold DLS Worldwide for $225.0 million cash, subject to a customary working capital adjustment and an escrow of $22.5 million. On November 3, 2020 we sold International Logistics for $13.0 million cash. The sale of these businesses was part of our strategic shift to exit non-core businesses in order to pursue portfolio optimization and to reduce debt. As part of this strategic shift, we previously sold Print Logistics in July 2018 and Courier Logistics in March 2020. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we finalized working capital adjustments and settled certain other contingencies related to the divested businesses, the impact of which is included in the Gain on sale of the discontinued operations, net of tax, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Upon the divestitures, we entered into transition services agreements with the buyers to assist them in the transition of certain functions, including, but not limited to, information technology, finance, and human resources. Further, we entered into several commercial agreements whereby we continue to receive logistics services from the divested business. Our involvement with the divested businesses is not material in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

We have reflected the Courier Logistics business, the DLS Worldwide business, and the International Logistics business, as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Results of discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2020 were as follows:
