DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND OTHER DIVESTITURES

The Company continuously assesses the composition of its portfolio to ensure it is aligned with its strategic objectives and positioned to maximize growth and return to shareholders.

Discontinued Operations

Nautica^® Brand Business

During the three months ended December 30, 2017, the Company reached the strategic decision to exit the Nautica^® brand business, and determined that it met the held-for-sale and discontinued operations accounting criteria. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the Nautica^® brand business as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and presented the related held-for-sale assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets through the date of sale.

On April 30, 2018, VF completed the sale of the Nautica^® brand business. The Company received proceeds of $285.8 million, net of cash sold, resulting in a final after-tax loss on sale of $38.2 million, of which a $0.4 million and $5.4 million decrease in the estimated loss on sale is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended December 2018, respectively. The three and nine months ended December 2017 include a $25.5 million estimated loss on sale.

The results of the Nautica^® brand's North America business were previously reported in the former Sportswear segment, and the results of the Asia business were previously reported in the former Outdoor & Action Sports segment. The results of the Nautica^® brand business recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income were income of $0.4 million (including a $0.4 million decrease in the estimated loss on sale) and $0.8 million (including a $5.4 million decrease in the estimated loss on sale) for the three and nine months ended December 2018, respectively, and losses of $17.4 million and $96.7 million for the three and nine months ended December 2017, respectively, including a $25.5 million estimated loss on sale in both periods and a $104.7 million impairment charge recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2017 ("September 2017").

Certain corporate overhead costs and segment costs previously allocated to the Nautica^® brand business for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations.

Under the terms of the transition services agreement, the Company is providing certain support services for periods up to 12 months from the closing date of the transaction. Revenue and related expense items associated with the transition services are recorded in the Other category, and operating expense reimbursements are recorded within the corporate and other expenses line item, in the reconciliation of segment revenues and segment profit in Note 14.

Licensing Business

During the three months ended April 1, 2017, the Company reached the strategic decision to exit its Licensing Business, which comprised the Licensed Sports Group ("LSG") and the JanSport^® brand collegiate businesses. Accordingly, the Company has reported the results of the businesses as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income and presented the related held-for-sale assets and liabilities as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in the Consolidated Balance Sheets through their respective dates of sale.

LSG included the Majestic^® brand and was previously reported within the former Imagewear segment. On April 28, 2017, VF completed the sale of LSG to Fanatics, Inc. The Company received proceeds of $213.5 million, net of cash sold, resulting in a final after-tax loss on sale of $4.1 million, of which $2.7 million is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended December 2017. The final adjustment to the after-tax loss on sale was $0.3 million in the three months ended September 2017.

The LSG results recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income were losses of $4.3 million (including a $2.7 million adjustment to the estimated loss on sale) for the nine months ended December 2017.

During the three months ended December 30, 2017, VF completed the sale of the assets associated with the JanSport^® brand collegiate business, which was previously included within the former Outdoor & Action Sports segment. The Company received net proceeds of $1.5 million and recorded a final after-tax loss on sale of $0.2 million, of which a $0.6 million and $0.8 million decrease in the estimated loss on sale is included in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended December 2017, respectively.

The JanSport^® brand collegiate results recorded in the income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax line item in the Consolidated Statements of Income were income of $0.1 million (including a $0.6 million decrease to the estimated loss on sale) and losses of $1.2 million (including a $0.8 million decrease to the estimated loss on sale) for the three and nine months ended December 2017, respectively.

Certain corporate overhead and other costs previously allocated to the Licensing Business for segment reporting purposes did not qualify for classification within discontinued operations and have been reallocated to continuing operations.

Under the terms of the transition services agreement, the Company is providing certain support services for periods up to 24 months from the closing date of the transaction. Revenue and related expense items associated with the transition services are recorded in the Work segment, and operating expense reimbursements are recorded within the corporate and other expenses line item in the reconciliation of segment revenues and segment profit in Note 14.
