7. Investments in Unconsolidated Entity
AVAIL JV
Following the sale of its 60% controlling interest in the AVAIL JV to Fernweh, AIS has been deconsolidated and the Company's retained 40% interest in the AVAIL JV is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As a change of control occurred with the transaction, a new basis of accounting will occur at the AVAIL JV when AVAIL completes its business combination accounting for the transaction which is ongoing. AZZ has not presented summarized financial statements, as those statements are incomplete at this time and do not include adjustments to asset values, depreciation, or amortization that may be required once AVAIL completes its business combination accounting. We record our interest in the AVAIL JV on a one-month lag to allow sufficient time to review and assess the joint venture’s effect on our reported results. As of May 31, 2023, our investment in the AVAIL JV is $87.1 million, which includes an excess of $6.3 million over the underlying value of the net assets of the AVAIL JV. The difference will be amortized through equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for a period of up to seven years. The excess basis amount may change once AVAIL completes its business combination accounting. We recorded $1.4 million of equity in earnings during the three months ended May 31, 2023, which includes the amortization of $0.7 million for the excess of our investment over the underlying value of the net assets of the AVAIL JV. Once AVAIL completes the business combination accounting, the reported results will reflect the effects of the business combination accounting as though such values were recorded at the time the transaction closed.
