Sale of Balcke Dürr Business
As indicated in Note 1, on December 30, 2016, we completed the sale of Balcke Dürr for cash proceeds of less than $0.1. In addition, we left $21.1 of cash in Balcke Dürr at the time of the sale and provided the Buyer with a non-interest bearing loan of $9.1, payable in installments due at the end of 2018 and 2019. In connection with the sale, we recorded a net loss of $78.6 to “Gain (loss) on disposition of discontinued operations, net of tax” during the fourth quarter of 2016.
The purchase agreement provides that existing parent company guarantees and bank and surety bonds, which totaled approximately Euro 79.0 and Euro 79.0, respectively, at the time of sale (and Euro 76.1 and Euro 47.9, respectively, at December 31, 2017), will remain in place through each instrument’s expiration date, with such expiration dates occurring through 2022. Balcke Dürr and the Buyer have provided us a full indemnity in the event that any of these guarantees or bonds are called. Also, at the time of sale, Balcke Dürr provided cash collateral of Euro 4.0 and mutares AG provided a guarantee of Euro 5.0 as a security for the above indemnifications (Euro 4.0 and Euro 3.0, respectively, at December 31, 2017).  The net loss recorded at the time of the sale of $78.6 includes a charge of $5.1 associated with the estimated fair value of the guarantees and bonds, after consideration of the indemnifications provided in the event any of the guarantees or bonds are called. See Note 15 for further details regarding the estimated fair value of these guarantees and bonds.
The final sales price for Balcke Dürr is subject to adjustment based on cash and working capital existing at the closing date and is subject to agreement with the Buyer. Final agreement of the cash and working capital amounts with the Buyer has yet to occur. Accordingly, it is possible that the sales price and resulting loss for this divestiture may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.
As indicated in Note 1, the results of Balcke Dürr are presented as a discontinued operation within the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Major classes of line items constituting pre-tax loss and after-tax loss of Balcke Dürr for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are shown below:

During 2017, we reduced the net loss associated with the sale of Balcke Dürr by $6.8. The reduction was comprised of an additional income tax benefit recorded for the sale of $9.4, partially offset by the impact of adjustments to liabilities retained in connection with the sale and certain other adjustments.

Represents financial results for SPX FLOW through the date of Spin-Off (i.e., the nine months ended September 26, 2015).
In connection with the Spin-Off, we entered into definitive agreements with SPX FLOW that, among other matters, set forth the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off and provide a framework for our relationship with SPX FLOW after the Spin-Off, including the following:
Separation and Distribution Agreement;
Tax Matters Agreement;
Employee Matters Agreement; and
Trademark License Agreement.
Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Employee Matters Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement, SPX FLOW has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we have agreed to indemnify SPX FLOW for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts. As of December 31, 2017, no indemnification claims have been initiated.
The financial activity governed by these agreements between SPX FLOW and us was not material to our consolidated financial results for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.
We also entered into a five-year agreement with SPX FLOW to lease office space for our corporate headquarters. Annual lease costs associated with the agreement are $2.1.
Other Discontinued Operations Activity
In addition to the businesses discussed above, we recognized net losses of $1.5, $2.7 and $5.2 during 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, resulting from adjustments to gains/losses on dispositions of businesses discontinued prior to 2015.
Changes in estimates associated with liabilities retained in connection with a business divestiture (e.g., income taxes) may occur. As a result, it is possible that the resulting gains/losses on these and other previous divestitures may be materially adjusted in subsequent periods.
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, results of operations from our businesses reported as discontinued operations were as follows:
