Divestitures [Abstract] |
Divestitures | 4. Divestitures In August 2018, we sold our 98 percent ownership interest in naviHealth Holdings, LLC ("naviHealth") to investor entities controlled by Clayton, Dubilier & Rice in exchange for cash proceeds of $737 million (after adjusting for certain fees and expenses) and a 44 percent equity interest in a partnership that owns 100 percent of the equity interest of naviHealth. We also have certain call rights to reacquire naviHealth. Refer to Note 6 for further discussion regarding this investment. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $508 million related to this divestiture in impairments and (gain)/loss on disposal of assets in our condensed consolidated statement of earnings. This gain includes our initial recognition of an equity method investment for $358 million and the derecognition of redeemable noncontrolling interests of $12 million. The tax expense as a result of this transaction will be approximately $130 million. We determined that the sale of the naviHealth business does not meet the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. The naviHealth business operated within our Medical segment.
