In the third quarter of 2015, Quanta recognized a pre-tax gain of $271.8 million and a corresponding tax expense of $100.8 million, which resulted in a gain on the sale, net of tax, of $171.0 million.

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.
