ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
We continually review locations to optimize the sustainable earning power and return on our invested capital. Our strategy, the Strategic Portfolio Optimization Model, also uses strategic ranking criteria to assess potential disposition candidates. The execution of this strategy entails selling generally non-strategic businesses.
During 2013, we sold seven funeral homes and one cemetery. During 2012, we ended a management agreement with a cemetery in Ohio and sold two funeral home businesses in Kentucky. We currently have a letter of intent outstanding on a cemetery in Florida; as such, this business is no longer reported within our continuing operations and the related operating results are presented on a comparative basis in the discontinued operations section of our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets and liabilities associated with this location are classified as held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
See Note 25 to the Consolidated Financial Statements herein for further information concerning assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013.
