Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
The Company owns a 49% interest in StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”), which is accounted for as an equity method investment, and reports its share of StoneRiver’s net income as income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate. During the first quarter of 2017, StoneRiver recognized a gain on the sale of a business. The Company’s $26 million pre-tax share of the gain was recorded within income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate, with the related tax expense of $9 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statements of income. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company received cash dividends of $31 million from StoneRiver, which were funded from the sale transaction and recorded as reductions in the Company’s investment in StoneRiver.
During the first quarter of 2016, StoneRiver recognized a gain on the sale of a business interest in which the Company’s pre-tax share of this gain was $190 million. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company also received cash dividends of $140 million from StoneRiver, which were funded from the sale transaction and recorded as reductions in the Company’s investment in StoneRiver. In conjunction with this activity, the Company evaluated its equity method investment in StoneRiver for its ability to recover the remaining carrying amount of such investment. Utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis (level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) to arrive at a measure of the investment’s fair value, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $44 million. The Company’s $146 million pre-tax share of the gain, net of the impairment loss, was recorded within income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate, with the related tax expense of $54 million recorded through the income tax provision, in the consolidated statements of income.
The Company’s investment in StoneRiver was $9 million and $14 million at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and is reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The dividends, in their entirety, represented returns on the Company’s investment and are reported in cash flows from operating activities.
