Discontinued Operations |
4. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
On August 4, 2015, Quanta completed the sale of its fiber optic licensing operations to Crown Castle for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1 billion in cash, resulting in estimated after-tax net proceeds of approximately $848 million. In the third quarter of 2015, Quanta recognized a pre-tax gain of approximately $272 million and a corresponding tax expense of approximately $101 million, which resulted in a gain on the sale, net of tax, of approximately $171 million. Quanta remains liable for all taxes and insured claims associated with the fiber optic licensing operations arising on or before or outstanding as of August 4, 2015. Quanta has presented the results of operations, financial position, cash flows and disclosures related to its fiber optic licensing operations as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The results were included in Quanta’s Fiber Optic Licensing and Other segment prior to the second quarter of 2015. The following represents a reconciliation of the major classes of line items constituting income from discontinued operations primarily related to Quanta’s fiber optic licensing operations to the consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):
