INVESTMENT IN NEW AVON
In connection with the separation of the Company's North America business, which closed on March 1, 2016, the Company retained a 19.9% ownership interest in New Avon, a privately-held company that is majority-owned and managed by an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management L.P. ("Cerberus"). The Company has accounted for its ownership interest in New Avon using the equity method of accounting, which resulted in the Company recognizing its proportionate share of New Avon's income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss. Our recorded investment balance in New Avon at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was zero.
During the third quarter of 2017, the Company received a cash distribution of $22.0 from New Avon, which reduced our recorded investment balance in New Avon. During the third quarter of 2017, we recorded only $1.7 of the Company's proportionate share of the losses in New Avon, as this reduced our recorded investment balance in New Avon to zero. As a result, we have not recorded our proportionate share of New Avon's loss since the third quarter of 2017. If New Avon experiences future losses while our recorded investment balance is zero, we would not record our proportionate share of such loss. The Company's proportionate share of the losses of New Avon was $5.8 and $9.8 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, which was recorded within other expense, net. In addition, the Company's proportionate share of the post-separation other comprehensive income of New Avon was an immaterial amount during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and was recorded within other comprehensive income (loss).
The Company also recorded an additional loss of $.5 within other expense, net and a benefit of $1.1 within other comprehensive income (loss), during the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily associated with purchase accounting adjustments reported by New Avon.
