(5) Acquisitions and Dispositions

From time to time, we acquire and invest in companies throughout the world, including franchises. Total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $2.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total cash consideration was $7.7, which included the purchase of a franchise in the United States and contingent consideration payments related to a previous acquisition.

Occasionally, we dispose of parts of our operations based on risk considerations and to optimize our global strategic and geographic footprint as well as improve our overall efficiency. On May 31, 2025, we disposed of our New Caledonia business in our APME segment and simultaneously entered into a franchise agreement. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a one-time net loss on disposition of $1.4, of which $0.2 was included in selling and administrative expenses and $1.2 was included in interest and other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

On May 30, 2025, we disposed of our South Africa business in our Northern Europe segment in exchange for a non-interest-bearing loan receivable of $1.4 and simultaneously entered into a franchising agreement. We recognized a one-time net loss on disposition of $4.8, of which $2.2 was included in selling and administrative expenses and $2.6 was included in interest and other expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
