Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

Note 20. Discontinued Operations and Divestitures

We divest (through sale or closure) business operations that do not contribute to our long-term objectives for growth, or that are not complementary to our target service offerings and markets. Divestitures are classified as discontinued operations provided they meet the criteria and treatment as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations primarily consist of one small businesses under the Financial Services segment that was sold in 2015.

Divested operations and assets that do not qualify for treatment as discontinued operations are recorded as “Gain on sale of operations, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In 2018, we sold a small office in the Financial Services practice group, along with two small books of business, both in the Benefits and Insurance practice group. We sold one small book of business in the Financial Services practice group in 2017 and two small books of business in the Benefits and Insurance practice group in 2016.
