Dispositions
As described in the 2025 Form 10-K, the Company sold its former Europe-North segment and Latin American businesses in 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid $4.5 million of transaction-related costs and final post-closing adjustments primarily associated with the Company’s Latin American business dispositions, which reduced net cash proceeds from those transactions. These payments are reflected within “Proceeds from sales of businesses and/or assets, net of direct costs to sell and cash sold” in investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
In 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its business in Spain, and the business remained classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2026. On August 4, 2026, the Company completed the sale of this business for a purchase price of approximately $132.3 million. Final net proceeds remain subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments and the payment of transaction-related fees and expenses. The Company expects to recognize a gain on sale during the third quarter of 2026.
