Note 5 - Disposition of Non-Core Assets

TimkenSteel Material Services Facility

During the first quarter of 2020, management completed its previously announced plan to close the Company’s TimkenSteel Material Services (“TMS”) facility in Houston and began selling the assets at the facility.

During the first quarter of 2021, the remaining associated machinery and equipment that was classified as held for sale was fully impaired as there was no longer an expected market value for these assets. This resulted in impairment charges of $0.3 million.

The remaining $4.3 million of land and buildings associated with TMS are classified as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as it is probable that these assets will be sold within the next 12 months.

Small-Diameter Seamless Mechanical Tubing Machinery and Equipment

In the third quarter of 2020, TimkenSteel informed customers that as of December 31, 2020 the Company would discontinue the commercial offering of specific small-diameter seamless mechanical tubing products. As a result, accelerated depreciation of $1.5 million was recognized in the first quarter of 2021 in alignment with the ramp down of this machinery and equipment. Spare parts related to this machinery and equipment of $0.5 million were also written down in the first quarter of 2021, as management determined there was no alternative use.

Harrison Melt and Casting Assets

On February 16, 2021, management announced a plan to indefinitely idle its Harrison melt and casting assets, which was completed in the first quarter of 2021. All of the Company’s melt and casting activities now take place at the Faircrest location. The Company worked collaboratively with employees, suppliers and a number of customers to ensure a well-organized and efficient transition. The Company’s rolling and finishing operations at Harrison were not impacted by this action.

The Company recognized non-cash charges of $9.5 million related to the write-down of the associated Harrison melt and casting assets in the first quarter of 2021. These charges include $7.9 million related to the impairment of the associated machinery and equipment, which is classified as impairment charges on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as a write-down of spare parts of $1.6 million, which is included in cost of products sold in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, as management determined there was no alternative use. The Company did not incur any cash expenditures related to these charges.

TimkenSteel (Shanghai) Corporation Limited

On March 31, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement pursuant to which Daido Steel (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. agreed to acquire all of the Company’s ownership interest in TimkenSteel (Shanghai) Corporation Limited in an all-cash transaction. The sale closed on July 30, 2021 and net cash proceeds of $6.2 million were received in the third quarter of 2021. As a result of this transaction, a loss on sale of consolidated subsidiary of $1.1 million was recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations during the third quarter of 2021. TimkenSteel’s consolidated financial statements include activity for TimkenSteel (Shanghai) Corporation Limited through July 30, 2021.
