Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Disclosure of Long Lived Assets Held-for-sale [Table Text Block]

During 2019, we committed to plans to sell certain businesses in our North America and Europe segments. As a result, these businesses were classified as net assets held for sale and were required to be adjusted to the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value, resulting in an immaterial net reduction of previously reported impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and impairment charges totaling $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (presented in

(Gain on disposal of business) and impairment of net assets held for sale in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income).

As of March 31, 2020, there were $15 million of assets held for sale, including $3 million of goodwill that was reclassified as held for sale related to our Europe segment, and $7 million of liabilities held for sale, which were recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We expect the assets held for sale to be disposed of during the next twelve months. The assets held for sale generated annualized revenue of approximately $81 million during the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2020.

We are required to record net assets of our held for sale businesses at the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value. Fair values were based on projected discounted cash flows and/or estimated selling prices. Management's assumptions for our discounted cash flow analysis of the businesses were based on projected revenues and profits, tax rates, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and discount rates. For businesses for which we utilized estimated selling prices to calculate the fair value, the inputs to our estimates included projected market multiples and any reasonable offers. Due to uncertainties in the estimation process, it is possible that actual results could differ from the estimates used in our analysis. The inputs utilized in the fair value estimates are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the net assets were measured on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2020.
