Discontinued Operations

On May 14, 2020, we completed the sale of our ASC business for estimated proceeds of $258.3 million in cash, of which $1.1 million was held in escrow as of December 31, 2020 to satisfy potential indemnification claims for one year after the sale date.

Accordingly, the results of operations from our ASC business and gain on sale of ASC are reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as “discontinued operations, net of taxes” for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. The related assets and liabilities are classified as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 in the accompanying balance sheets. We recognized a net gain of $3.6 million, net of taxes, during the second quarter of 2020 in connection with this sale. In the third quarter of 2020, we recognized a net loss of $0.3 million, net of taxes. The net loss on sale recognized in the third quarter was attributable to final post-closing adjustments and expenses related to the sale.

Results of discontinued operations reflect directly attributable revenues, operating and ownership expenses, and income taxes. Results also reflect intercompany allocations for interest. Interest expense was $2.0 million, $6.1 million, and $5.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018. Interest was allocated consistent with GATX's risk-adjusted approach for continuing operations.
