Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations In fiscal 2018, Cintas sold a significant business referred to as Discontinued Services and received $127.8 million of proceeds from the sale. Prior to the sale, Discontinued Services was primarily included in All Other and was classified as held for sale. Additionally, the results of Shred-it and Shredding are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented as a result of entering into a definitive agreement during fiscal 2016 to sell the investment. During fiscal 2015, Cintas sold Storage and, as a result, its operations are also classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Shredding and Storage were was previously included in the former Document Management Services reportable operating segment. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for the disposal of long-lived assets, the results of Discontinued Services, Shredding and Storage have been excluded from both continuing operations and operating segment results for all periods presented. In fiscal 2016, we completed the transaction to sell Shred-it. Cintas’ share of the proceeds from the sale were $578.3 million. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, Cintas received additional proceeds and consideration related to the sale of Shred-it. The Company realized a pre-tax gain of $4.3 million as a result of the additional consideration received. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, Cintas recorded a net loss on Shred-it of $24.3 million, which included amortization of basis differences of approximately $4.8 million. After the sale of Shred-it, the basis differences no longer exist and Cintas no longer records income or loss from Shred-it. In fiscal 2017, we received additional proceeds related to the sale of Shred-it. Cintas realized a pre-tax gain of $25.5 million as a result of the additional consideration received. Cintas still has the opportunity to receive additional consideration, subject to certain holdback provisions. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the holdback provisions, this opportunity represents a gain contingency that has not been recorded as of May 31, 2018. During fiscal 2016, Cintas received additional proceeds on the sale of Storage related to the contingent consideration and realized a pre-tax gain of $10.9 million. During fiscal 2016, Cintas also sold the remaining Storage assets classified as held for sale. Cintas received proceeds of $24.4 million from the sale of these assets and realized a pretax gain of $4.8 million. In fiscal 2017, Cintas received additional proceeds related to the sale of Storage and recorded a pre-tax gain of $2.4 million.
