NOTE 6: DIVESTITURES

In September and December 2023, we executed agreements allowing for the conversion of our U.S. and Canadian payroll and human resources services customers to other service providers. We recognized related income of $5,208 during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and $28,190 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and we received related cash proceeds of $18,321 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The income recognized is included in gain (loss) on sale of businesses and long-lived assets on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Recognition of the remaining income will be based on actual customer conversion and retention activity, which we expect to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2024. These businesses generated annual revenue of approximately $27,000 during 2023. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, we recognized a related pretax goodwill impairment charge of $6,700, as we determined that the remaining cash flows expected to be generated by these businesses no longer supported the carrying value of the related reporting unit as of September 30, 2024. Subsequent to the impairment charge, the remaining goodwill balance for this reporting unit was $1,043. In conjunction with our phased transition out of these businesses, we expect that this goodwill will be fully impaired during the fourth quarter of 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we also recognized a gain of $1,000 on the sale of a small business distributor customer list.

In June 2023, we completed the sale of our North American web hosting and logo design businesses for net cash proceeds of $31,230. During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, we recorded an out-of-period correcting adjustment that decreased the gain recognized on this sale by $4,457. This adjustment was not material to the period or any other historical interim or annual period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized a pretax gain of $17,486 on this sale. These businesses generated revenue of approximately $28,000 during 2023, through the sale date. Further information regarding this sale can be found under the caption "Note 6: Acquisition and Divestitures" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the 2023 Form 10-K.
