Dispositions

Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company initiated the disposition of centers due to management’s assessment of the Company’s strategy in the market and due to the limited growth opportunities at these centers. The Company did not dispose of any centers during the three months ended March 31, 2015. For disposals occurring in 2014 and prior, the results of operations of discontinued centers have been classified as discontinued operations in all periods presented. As of January 1, 2015, the Company adopted ASU 2014-08 which raised the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation. As a result, the Company expects that such future disposals of its centers will no longer meet the definition to be accounted for as discontinued operations, and any gain or loss from such disposals will be included in continuing operations.

Results of operations and associated gain (loss) on disposal of the centers discontinued for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended   March 31, 2014
Revenues	$	4,594
Earnings before income taxes	540
Results of discontinued operations, net of tax:
Earnings from operations of discontinued interests in surgery centers	430
Loss on disposal of discontinued interests in surgery centers	(362		)
Net earnings from discontinued operations	68
Less: Net earnings from discontinued operations attributable to noncontrolling interests	265
Net loss from discontinued operations attributable to AmSurg Corp. common shareholders	$	(197	)

Cash proceeds from disposal for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were $1.1 million.
