Discontinued Operations

4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

For the three and nine months ended 30 June 2018, income from discontinued operations, net of tax, on the consolidated income statements was $43.2 and $42.2, respectively. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $25.6 resulting from the resolution of uncertain tax positions taken in conjunction with the disposition of our former European Homecare business in fiscal year 2012. In addition, we recorded an after-tax benefit of $17.6 resulting from the resolution of certain post-closing adjustments associated with the sale of our former Performance Materials Division. The nine months ended 30 June 2018 also includes an after-tax loss of $1.0 related to Energy-from-Waste project exit activities and administrative costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018.
