Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Fiscal 2023: During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, we determined that certain assets associated with a capital project at our Building Products facility in Jefferson, Ohio, were impaired. These assets were determined to have no alternative use and were written down to their estimated salvage value of approximately $70,000 resulting in an impairment charge of $484,000 during the three months ended February 28, 2023.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we committed to plans to liquidate certain fixed assets at Samuel’s toll processing facility in Cleveland, Ohio. As all of the criteria for classification as assets held for sale were met, the net assets were presented separately as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2022. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the net assets were recorded at the lower of net book value or fair market value less costs to sell. As a result, a pre-tax impairment charge of $312,000 was recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2023, which represents the excess book value of the asset group over its estimated fair value less cost to sell. The land and building were subsequently sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 for net cash proceeds of $3,298,000, with no impact to earnings. Machinery and equipment related to the facility with a net book value of $1,562,000 continued to be classified as held for sale at February 28, 2023.

 

Fiscal 2022: During the third quarter of fiscal 2022, management committed to plans to sell certain production equipment at the Samuel facility in Twinsburg, Ohio. As all of the criteria for classification as assets held for sale were met, the net assets were presented separately as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet at May 31, 2023. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the net assets were written down to the lower of net book value or fair market value less costs to sell, resulting in an impairment charge of $3,076,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The assets were subsequently sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2023 for cash proceeds of approximately $1,063,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $363,000 within restructuring and other expense (income), net.
