DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company made the strategic decision to discontinue operations in Latin America and Turkey. All of the Latin America and Turkey business operations were discontinued on or before December 31, 2012. The Company incurred approximately $8,000 of costs associated with the shutdown of these businesses in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded additional costs, of $397 and $3,565, respectively, primarily relating to severance costs associated with terminated employees of our operations in Latin America and Turkey. Additionally, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $950 and $1,491 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations related to Latin America and Turkey, net of tax, of $553 in the three months ended September 30, 2013, and a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $2,074 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company does not expect to incur significant additional charges in future periods relating to Latin America or Turkey.

During the third quarter of 2012, as part of the Company’s review of strategic alternatives, the Company made the decision to sell its Careers-China business. The sale of the Careers-China business to Saongroup, Ltd. (“Saongroup”) was completed on February 5, 2013. The Company received a 10% minority interest in the combined China business of Saongroup (as Saongroup has a Chinese operation as well). The Company’s 10% minority interest does not provide the Company with representation on the board of directors, the Company is not entitled to any dividend or other forms of cash returns and the Company is not required to make any capital contributions in the future. The Company will carry the 10% interest as a cost basis investment with an estimated fair value of zero which is based on available information.

Prior to the close of the sale of Careers-China, the Company incurred charges relating to severance benefits associated with terminated employees, retention benefits for employees who will remain with the combined operations and certain lease obligation costs. At February 5, 2013, there was $23,109 of accumulated unrealized currency translation gain related to the net assets of Careers-China. With the sale of Careers-China on February 5, 2013, the Company recorded the foreign currency translation adjustment as a reduction of the loss on disposition of discontinued operations. On October 25, 2013, the Company received $1,846 of funds previously held in escrow relating to the sale of Careers-China, which has been recorded as a gain in the consolidated statements of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Additionally, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $875 and $4,916 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Accordingly, the Company recorded income from discontinued operations related to Careers-China, net of tax, of $2,542 in the three months ended September 30, 2013, and a loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $1,724 in the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Company does not expect to incur significant additional charges in future periods relating to Careers-China. As disclosed in Note 10—Goodwill, included in the loss from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 is a goodwill impairment charge of $216,221 relating to Careers-China.
