Note C Inventory

 

During fiscal 2024, we recognized lower of cost or net realizable charges totaling approximately $1,900 related to propane tanks imported from Europe that had higher than expected transportation costs. These charges were attributed to our Building Products operating segment and were recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of earnings during fiscal 2024.

 

During fiscal 2024, we initiated a recall with the U.S. Consumer Protection Safety Commission for our recently introduced Balloon Time® mini helium tank. We have reserved for the estimated direct and incremental costs expected to be incurred to administer the recall program, which we expect to be immaterial due to the small population of tanks purchased by end consumers. However, we booked a reserve to reflect the impacted inventory at its estimated net realizable value. The adjustment was attributed to our Consumer Products operating segment and was recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of earnings during fiscal 2024. The inventory reserve amount as of May 31, 2024 was $2,732.
