Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Dispositions	(5) Acquisitions and Dispositions From time to time, we acquire and invest in companies throughout the world, including franchises. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $1.7, which represents a deferred consideration payment related to a previous acquisition. On September 30, 2020 we disposed of four businesses (Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria) in our Southern Europe segment for net proceeds of $5.8, subject to normal post close working capital adjustments and simultaneously entered into franchise agreements with the new ownership of these businesses. In connection with the disposition we recognized a one-time loss on disposition of $5.8, which was included in the selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Switzerland Acquisitions On April 3, 2019, we acquired the remaining 51% controlling interest in our Swiss franchise (“Manpower Switzerland”) to obtain full ownership of the entity. Additionally, as part of the purchase agreement we acquired the remaining 20% interest in Experis AG. Manpower Switzerland provides contingent staffing services under our Manpower brand in the four main language regions in Switzerland. Both Manpower Switzerland and Experis AG are reported in our Southern Europe segment. The aggregate cash consideration paid was $219.5 as of September 30, 2019 and was funded through cash on hand. Of the total consideration paid, $58.3 was for the acquired interests and the remaining $161.2 was for cash and cash equivalents. The aggregate cash consideration paid reflects a post-closing settlement of net debt and net working capital adjustments of $6.8, which we paid out during the third quarter of 2019. The total cash impact of the acquisition was an inflow of $98.0, net of cash acquired of $317.5. The acquisition of the remaining interest of Experis AG was accounted for as an equity transaction as we previously consolidated the entity. In connection with the business combination, we recognized a one-time, non-cash gain on the disposition of our previously held equity interest in Manpower Switzerland of $80.4, which is included within interest and other expenses (income), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Of the $80.4, $32.5 represented the reclassification of foreign currency translation adjustments related to the previously held equity interest, from accumulated other comprehensive income. Excluding Manpower Switzerland and Experis AG, the total cash consideration paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $39.5 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This balance represents contingent consideration payments related to previous acquisitions, of which $13.0 had been recognized as a liability at the acquisition date. ManpowerGroup Greater China Limited Disposition On July 10, 2019, our joint venture in Greater China, ManpowerGroup Greater China Limited, became listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited through an initial public offering. Prior to the initial public offering, we owned a 51% controlling interest in the joint venture and consolidated the financial position and results of its operations into our Consolidated Financial Statements as part of our APME segment. As a result of the offering, in which ManpowerGroup Greater China Limited issued new shares representing 25% of the equity of the company, our ownership interest was diluted to 38.25%, and then further diluted to 36.87% as the underwriters exercised their overallotment option in full on August 7, 2019. As a result, we deconsolidated the joint venture as of the listing date and account for the remaining interest under the equity method of accounting and record our share of equity income or loss in interest and other expenses (income), net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the deconsolidation of the joint venture, we recognized a one-time cash gain of $30.4, which was included in selling and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the quarter ended September 30, 2019. Included in the $30.4 was foreign currency translation adjustment losses of $6.2 related to the joint venture from accumulated other comprehensive income.
