Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Divestiture | On August 31, 2018, we sold our U.S. baking business to Brynwood Partners VII L.P. and Brynwood Partners VIII L.P., subsidiaries of Brynwood Partners, an unrelated party. The transaction included products that were primarily sold in U.S. retail channels under the Pillsbury®, Martha White®, Hungry Jack®, White Lily®, and Jim Dandy® brands, along with all relevant trademarks and licensing agreements, and our manufacturing facility in Toledo, Ohio. This business generated net sales of approximately $370.0 in 2018. The transaction did not include our baking business in Canada. The operating results for this business were primarily included in the U.S. Retail Consumer Foods segment prior to the sale. We received proceeds from the divestiture of $369.5, which were net of cash transaction costs and included a working capital adjustment. During 2019, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $27.7 related to this transaction, of which $1.0 was recognized during the third quarter associated with the working capital adjustment that was finalized during the fourth quarter. The gain was included in other operating expense (income) – net within the Condensed Statement of Consolidated Income.
