On June 3, 2019, the Company's CDD segment acquired Envigo's nonclinical contract research services business, expanding CDD's global nonclinical drug development capabilities with additional locations and resources. Additionally, the Company divested the Covance Research Products (CRP) business, which was a part of the CDD segment, to Envigo. As part of this sale, CDD entered into a multi-year, renewable supply agreement. The Company paid cash consideration of $601.0, received a floating rate secured note of $110.0, and recorded a loss on the sale of CRP of $11.9. The Company funded the transaction through a new term loan facility.

The preliminary purchase consideration for Envigo has been allocated to the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired, including approximately $144.5 in identifiable intangible assets and a residual amount of non-tax-deductible goodwill of approximately $414.2. The amortization period for intangible assets acquired is 11 years for customer relationships.

The Envigo transaction contributed $52.0 and $9.0 and $68.5 and $9.7 of revenues and operating income, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The purchase price allocation for the Envigo transaction is still preliminary and subject to change. The areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate primarily to intangible assets, goodwill, fixed assets and the impact of finalizing deferred taxes. Accordingly, adjustments may be made as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the valuation date. The Company expects these purchase price allocations to be finalized by the second quarter of 2020. Any adjustments will be recorded in the period in which they are identified.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company also acquired various businesses and related assets for approximately $263.1 in cash (net of cash acquired). The purchase consideration for all acquisitions year to date has been allocated to the estimated fair market value of the net assets acquired, including approximately $179.6 in identifiable intangible assets and a residual amount of non-tax-deductible goodwill of approximately $98.1. The amortization periods for intangible assets acquired from these businesses range from 11 to 15 years for customer relationships. These acquisitions were made primarily to extend the Company's geographic reach in important market areas, enhance the Company's scientific differentiation and to expand the breadth and scope of the Company's CRO services. The excess of the fair value of the consideration conveyed over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill reflects the Company's expectations to utilize the acquired businesses’ workforce and established relationships and the benefits of being able to leverage operational efficiencies with favorable growth opportunities in these markets.

Additionally, the Company divested its food solutions and forensic testing services business in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and the U.S. in 2018. Total operating income for the three divested businesses was $3.0 and $8.4 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company recorded a net gain on sale of businesses of 209.4 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which is included in Other, net.
