IMPAIRMENT AND DIVESTITURE OF RUSSIAN BUSINESS

IMPAIRMENT AND DIVESTITURE OF RUSSIAN BUSINESSIn the second quarter of 2022, the Company began the process of the divesting its interests in its two packaging facilities in Russia (the “Disposal Group”), which met the criteria to be considered a business, through a sale of 100% of the Disposal Group’s outstanding shares. The Company expects the sale to be completed in 2023. The assets and liabilities to be disposed of in connection with this transaction met the held for sale criteria as of March 31, 2023.

The carrying value of the net assets held for sale, inclusive of the cumulative translation adjustment balance attributable to the business, was greater than their fair value, less costs to sell, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $88 million (includes $4 million of impairment charges incurred in Q1 2023), which is included in the Business, Combinations, Shutdown and Other Special Charges, and Exit Activities, Net in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The assets related to the sale, inclusive of the valuation allowance, and liabilities related to the sale were classified as Other Current Assets and Other Accrued Liabilities, respectively, within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023. Excluded from the assets classified as held for sale within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is an intercompany note receivable totaling $33 million from the Company to the Disposal Group. The intercompany note will be sold as part of the transaction and, thus, should be considered when calculating the carrying value of the Disposal Group and the allowance to adjust the carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. Upon consummation of the sale of the Disposal Group, the Company will reclassify this note from intercompany to the applicable liability line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as it will represent a liability to an external third party. The cumulative translation adjustment attributable to the business of $3 million is included within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2023. Goodwill totaling $12 million associated with the Disposal Group was determined to be impaired through March 31, 2023.

As the sale of the Disposal Group is not considered a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations or financial results, it was not reported as discontinued operations. The Company will continue to evaluate the Disposal Group for future impairments until it is sold. The Disposal Group is reported within the Europe Paperboard Packaging segment.
