Business Divestiture	Business DivestitureOn May 4, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Collections and Recovery (“C&R”) business to Jonas Collections and Recovery Inc. (“Jonas”), a company in the Jonas Software operating group of Constellation Software Inc. The decision to sell the C&R business was the result of management’s decision to divest certain software products that are not built on the FICO Decision Management Platform. This divestiture will allow us to focus our development and go to market resources on the growth of our Decision Management Platform products. On June 7, 2021, we completed the sale to Jonas. As the C&R business has the input, process and output elements defined in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations, we concluded the sale qualified as a sale of a business. The gain recognized from the sale was $92.8 million, which was recorded in gains on product line asset sales and business divestiture within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Our C&R business was part of the Applications segment.
