| Dispositions | Dispositions Shape, Fit Pregnancy and Natural Health In January 2015, the Company and Weider Publications, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Meredith Corporation ("Meredith"). The Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of the Company's Shape, Fit Pregnancy and Natural Health brands and magazines, which comprised its Women's Active Lifestyle segment. The Company received the initial cash consideration of $60.0 million on January 30, 2015 when the transaction closed. The Company is further entitled to additional consideration (the "Additional Consideration"), in the form of a one-time payment, following the completion of Meredith's 2018 fiscal year on June 30, 2018. The Additional Consideration, up to $60.0 million, will be based upon 40% of the adjusted operating profit of the combination of the Company's Shape brand and Meredith's Fitness brand. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company continued to publish the Shape, Fit Pregnancy and Natural Health magazines with on-sale dates through March 31, 2015, after which Meredith assumed publishing responsibilities for such titles. Effective as of the closing, Meredith assumed control over the digital assets used with Shape, Fit Pregnancy and Natural Health. The Company will have no continuing involvement in the operations of these publications subsequent to March 31, 2015. Net revenue, pre-tax income (loss) from discontinued operations, income tax provision (benefit) and income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes are as follows, in thousands:
Country Weekly In November 2014, we sold our Country Weekly publication for approximately $3 million in cash and entered into a long-term publishing services agreement for $1 million. The operating results of Country Weekly were insignificant to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 2015 and 2014 and did not meet the criteria for presentation of discontinued operations. It is the Company's policy to present gains and losses from the sale of businesses that do not meet the criteria for presentation as discontinued operations within other income (expenses) in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. |
