Impairment of Manufacturing Facility
Our manufacturing facility in Opelika, Alabama is one of three Baxter manufacturing facilities that currently produce dialyzers used in hemodialysis (HD) treatments. The current competitive environment has increased the global supply of those products and, in connection with our initiatives to streamline our manufacturing footprint and improve our profitability, we have made the decision to cease production of dialyzers at the Opelika facility near the end of 2023. We believe that there is more than adequate availability of dialyzers in the United States and globally, and we intend to continue to manufacture those products at volumes aligned with the related market demand at our other manufacturing facilities that currently produce them.
We review the carrying amounts of long-lived assets used in operations, other than goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization, for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating recoverability, we group assets and liabilities at the lowest level such that the identified cash flows relating to the group are largely independent of other assets and liabilities. We then compare the carrying amounts of the assets (or asset groups) with the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. In the event an asset (or asset group) is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded as the amount by which its carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
As a result of our decision to cease dialyzer production at this manufacturing facility, we performed a trigger-based recoverability assessment of its long-lived assets, which consist of a building and manufacturing equipment, including specialized equipment used in the production of dialyzers. The carrying amount of that asset group exceeded the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated, and we recognized an impairment charge of $243 million, classified within cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss), during the second quarter of 2023 to reduce the carrying amounts to their estimated fair values.
The fair values of the building and manufacturing equipment tested for impairment during the second quarter of 2023 were determined based on transaction prices of comparable assets (a market approach). Significant assumptions used in the determination of the fair values included the identification of representative comparable assets. Our long-lived asset fair value measurements are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because they involve significant unobservable inputs.
