Battle Over

Sears Holdings and Computer Sciences Corp. have put down the gloves in a dispute over a 10-year outsourcing agreement for information technology. The two announced they settled their differences after Sears paid an undisclosed sum of money to Computer Sciences. Sears does not expect to take a charge against revenues because it put aside a reserve for the expense. Sears Holdings, based in Chicago, is a $53 billion retailer that operates 3,800 Sears Roebuck & Co. and Kmart stores. Computer Sciences is a $15 billion information-technology company in El Segundo.
