Equity Investment

In November 2018, we divested all of our ownership interest in an equity investment included in Other for proceeds of approximately $61 million. As a result, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $56 million ($41 million after-tax) in the third quarter of 2019. The gain is included within other income, net, in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Under the terms of agreements entered into for this transaction, we elected to receive a cash consideration of $23 million and concurrently contribute $38 million of the proceeds to obtain an equity interest in a newly formed entity.

Fiscal 2018

Enterprise Information Solutions

On August 1, 2017, we entered into an agreement with a third party to sell our EIS business for $185 million, subject to adjustments for net debt and working capital. As of September 30, 2017, the assets and liabilities of this business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Accordingly, $243 million of assets, including a goodwill balance of $124 million and $190 million of liabilities, related to the EIS business were recorded as held for sale and included in prepaid expenses and other and other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017.

On October 2, 2017, the transaction closed upon satisfaction of all closing conditions including the termination of the waiting period under U.S. antitrust laws. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $109 million ($30 million after-tax) upon the disposition of this business in the third quarter of 2018 within operating expenses in Other.

Equity Investment

On July 18, 2017, we completed the sale of an equity method investment from our U.S. Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment to a third party for total cash proceeds of $42 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $43 million ($26 million after-tax) within other income, net in our condensed consolidated statement of operations during the first nine months of 2018.

These divestitures did not meet the criteria to qualify as discontinued operations. Pre- and after-tax income from continuing operations of these businesses were not material for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 and 2018.
