Sale of Assets [Abstract] |
Sale of Assets | Sale of Assets In the second quarter of 2020, the Company monetized wage subsidy receivables outside the U.S. for $16.9 million, net of fees and 5% retainer. The sale of these receivables was accounted for as a sale of financial assets with certain recourse provisions in which we derecognized the receivables. Although the sale of receivables is with recourse, the Company did not record a recourse obligation as of the third quarter 2020 as the Company has concluded the receivables are collectible. The net cash proceeds related to the sale are included in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows and the fees related to the sale are included in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. On March 20, 2020, the Company sold three of our four headquarters properties for a purchase price of $58.5 million as a part of a sale and leaseback transaction. The properties included the parcels of land, together with all rights and easements, in addition to all improvements located on the land, including buildings. The Company received cash proceeds of $55.5 million, which was net of transaction expenses. As of the date of the sale, the properties had a combined net carrying amount of $23.4 million. The resulting gain on the sale of the assets was $32.1 million which is recorded in gain on sale of assets in the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company leased back the headquarters buildings on the same date; see the Leases footnote for discussion of the sale and leaseback transaction. Gain on sale of assets of $12.3 million in the second quarter of 2019 primarily represents the sale of unused land located near the Company headquarters, and includes the excess of the $11.7 million sale proceeds over the cost of the parcel. The gain on sale of assets also includes proceeds of $2.1 million from the transfer of customer contracts related to the Company's legal specialty operations to a third party during the second quarter of 2019.
