Discontinued Operations [Abstract] |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations On November 13, 2018, the Company entered into a Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with BCP Acquisitions LLC (“Purchaser”). The Purchaser is a newly-formed entity controlled by investment funds managed by Brookfield Capital Partners LLC. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the Company has agreed to sell, and Purchaser has agreed to acquire, the Company’s Power Solutions business for a purchase price of $13.2 billion. Net cash proceeds are expected to be $11.4 billion after tax and transaction-related expenses. The transaction is expected to close by June 30, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals. During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company determined that its Power Solutions business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation and, as a result, Power Solutions' historical financial results are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation, and assets and liabilities were retrospectively reclassified as assets and liabilities held for sale. The Company did not allocate any general corporate overhead to discontinued operations. The following table summarizes the results of Power Solutions reclassified as discontinued operations for the three month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 (in millions):
| Three Months Ended December 31,
| 2018 |  | 2017
Net sales | $ | 2,427 |  |  | $ | 2,130 |
Income from discontinued operations before income taxes | 390 |  |  | 368 |
Provision for income taxes on discontinued operations | (127 | ) |  | (50 | )
Income from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests, net of tax | (15 | ) |  | (13 | )
Income from discontinued operations | $ | 248 |  |  | $ | 305 |
For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the income from discontinued operations before income taxes included transaction costs of $28 million and a favorable impact of $32 million for ceasing depreciation and amortization expense as the business was held for sale. The increase in net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to the impact of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard. Refer to Note 2, "New Accounting Standards," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for further information. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, the effective tax rate was more than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to establishment of a deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference of the Company’s investment in certain subsidiaries related to the planned divestiture of the business and tax rate differentials. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the effective tax rate was more than the Irish statutory rate of 12.5% primarily due to tax rate differentials.
