Net gains/(losses) on sales of businesses – During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the amounts recognized were related to sales of businesses and the classification of certain assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of cash, as held for sale within our MD&E, IA&C, and SC&E reportable segments. The businesses sold and held for sale primarily represent unprofitable, non-strategic agencies which are expected to be sold within the next twelve months.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt – During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a loss of $74.0 related to the early extinguishment of all $250.0 aggregate principal amount of our 4.000% unsecured senior notes due 2022, all $500.0 aggregate principal amount of our 3.750% unsecured senior notes due 2023, and $250.0 of the $500.0 aggregate principal amount of our 4.200% unsecured senior notes due 2024.Other - During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the amounts recognized were primarily related to a cash gain from the sale of an equity investment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the amounts recognized were primarily attributable to factors noted for the third quarter of 2022, partially offset by a non-cash loss related to the deconsolidation of a previously consolidated entity in which we maintain an equity interest in the second quarter of 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the amounts recognized were primarily related to a non-cash gain related to the deconsolidation of a previously consolidated subsidiary.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest [Table Text Block]

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

Many of our acquisitions include provisions under which the non-controlling equity owners may require us to purchase additional interests in a subsidiary at their discretion. Redeemable non-controlling interests are adjusted quarterly, if necessary, to their estimated redemption value, but not less than their initial fair value. Any adjustments to the redemption value impact retained earnings or additional paid in capital, except for foreign currency translation adjustments.
