Divestitures | Divestitures 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. 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 received net cash proceeds of $169 million after $16 million of assumed net debt by the third party. We recognized a pre-tax gain of $109 million (after-tax gain of $30 million) upon the disposition of this business in the third quarter of 2018 within operating expenses in our Technology Solutions segment. Equity Investment On July 18, 2017, we completed the sale of an equity method investment in our Distribution Solutions segment to a third party for total cash proceeds of $42 million and recognized a pre-tax gain of $43 million ($26 million after-tax) within other income, net, in the second quarter of 2018. Fiscal 2017 There were no material divestitures in 2017. Fiscal 2016 During the second quarter of 2016, we sold our ZEE Medical business within our Distribution Solutions segment for total proceeds of $134 million and recorded a pre-tax gain of $52 million ($29 million after-tax) from this sale. 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 be reported as discontinued operations since they did not constitute a significant strategic business shift. Accordingly, pre-tax gains from 2018 and 2016 divestitures were recorded within continuing operations of our consolidated statements of operations. Pre- and after-tax income of divested businesses were not material for 2018 and 2016. Discontinued Operations On May 31, 2016, we completed the sale of our Brazilian pharmaceutical distribution business and recognized an after-tax loss of $113 million within discontinued operations in the first quarter of 2017 primarily for the settlement of certain indemnification matters as well as the release of the cumulative translation losses. We made a payment of approximately $100 million related to the sale of this business. The results of discontinued operations for the years ended March 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 were not material except for the loss recognized upon the disposition of our Brazilian business in 2017. As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the carrying amounts of total assets and liabilities of discontinued operations were not material.
