Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Divestitures | Divestitures There were no divestitures during the three months ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we divested two businesses for $1 million, which were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our results of operations or financial position. The sales resulted in a gain of $9 million, reflected in gain from sale of businesses in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. On July 2, 2014, we divested our Wolverhampton, U.K.-based pneumatic and hydraulic valves business for approximately $30 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $11 million, reflected in gain from sale of business in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. The business, which was part of our Applied Water segment, provided a wide range of products, primarily to industrial original equipment manufacturer customers in the oil and gas sector.
