ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company concluded the assets and liabilities of the personal protective equipment business, which is part of the Sensing and Safety Technologies business unit within the Industrial Automation reportable business segment, met the held for sale criteria as of September 30, 2024; therefore, the Company presented the associated assets and liabilities of the business as held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024. The disposal group, consisting of the associated assets and liabilities, is measured at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization expense is not recorded for the period in which assets are classified as held for sale. The carrying amount of any assets, including goodwill, that are part of the disposal group, but not in the scope of ASC 360-10, are tested for impairment under the relevant guidance prior to measuring the disposal group at fair value, less costs to sell.
Upon classification of the assets and liabilities of the business as held for sale, the Company performed an evaluation to assess the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets held for sale. The Company recognized a valuation allowance of $125 million in the third quarter of 2024 to write down the disposal group to fair value, less costs to sell. The carrying value is based on the use of estimates and is subject to change based on future developments leading up to the closing date of a sale, and actual amounts realized upon sale may vary from those recorded as of September 30, 2024.
