On December 29, 2019, Newells management decided to sell one of its major divisions, subject to some legal work that is expected to be completed during the first week in April 2020 after the 2019 financial statements have been issued). During 2019, the division earned a small operating income that is just enough for the company to report record earnings for the year.
