Divestiture of Businesses
During the second quarter of 2016, we sold our ZEE Medical business within our Distribution Solutions segment for a total purchase price of $134 million. We recorded a pre-tax gain from this sale of $52 million ($29 million after-tax) during the first nine months of 2016.
During the first quarter of 2016, we sold our nurse triage business within our Technology Solutions segment for net sale proceeds of $84 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $51 million ($38 million after-tax) from the sale.
These divestitures did not meet the criteria to qualify as a discontinued operation under the amended guidance, which became effective for us in the first quarter of 2016. Accordingly, pre-tax gains from both divestitures were recorded in operating expenses within continuing operations of our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Other than the gain on disposal, pre and after-tax income for these businesses were not material for the third quarters and first nine months of 2017 and 2016.
