3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On
April 23, 2010, we sold our APPRO loan origination software
business (“APPRO”) for $72 million. On July 1,
2010, we sold substantially all the assets of our Direct Marketing
Services division (“DMS”) for $117 million. Both
of these businesses were reported in our U.S. Consumer Information
Solutions segment. The historical results of these operations
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are
classified as discontinued operations in the Consolidated
Statements of Income. Revenue for these businesses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $0 and $42.1
million, respectively. Pretax income, excluding the gain on
the sales of APPRO and DMS, was $0 and $6.3 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2010. We recorded a gain
from the sale of APPRO in the second quarter of 2010 of $12.3
million, after tax, and a gain from the sale of DMS in the third
quarter of 2010 of $14.9 million, both of which were classified as
discontinued operations in the Consolidated
Statements.
