Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources (ECR) Business Sale of Energy, Chemicals and Resources ("ECR") Business
On April 26, 2019, Jacobs completed the sale of its ECR business to Worley for a purchase price of $3.4 billion consisting of (i) $2.8 billion in cash plus (ii) 58.2 million ordinary shares of Worley, subject to adjustments for changes in working capital and certain other items (the “ECR sale”).
As a result of the ECR sale, substantially all ECR-related assets and liabilities were sold (the "Disposal Group"). We determined that the Disposal Group should be reported as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC 210-05, Discontinued Operations as the disposal represented a strategic shift that had a major effect on our operations and financial results. As such, the financial results of the ECR business are reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
As a result of the ECR sale, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $1.1 billion, $935.1 million of which was recognized in fiscal 2019, $110.2 million in fiscal 2020 and $15.6 million for the year ended October 1, 2021, respectively.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company received final working capital settlement proceeds of $36.4 million from Worley and as such, recorded a pre-tax gain of $15.6 million. Offsetting the proceeds from the settlement to arrive at the net gain amount were previously recorded accounts receivable from Worley.
Investment in Worley Stock
As discussed above, the Company held ordinary shares of Worley that it received in connection with the ECR sale. Dividend income, realized gains and losses on sale and unrealized gains and losses on changes in fair value of Worley shares are recognized in miscellaneous income (expense), net in continuing operations prior to sale. The Company's investment in Worley was measured at fair value through net income as it is an equity investment with a readily determinable fair value based on quoted market prices and for the years ended October 1, 2021 and October 2, 2020, the Company recognized a gain of $40.7 million and a loss of $103.6 million, respectively, associated with share price and currency changes on this investment, as well as dividend income related to the equity investment in the amount of $19.1 million and $16.9 million, respectively. The Company completed the sale of all ordinary shares of Worley it held in the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2021.
