During fiscal 2019, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that certain fixed assets of two of its manufacturing facilities would be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of their estimated useful lives due to the Company’s decision to consolidate manufacturing of certain fruit-based and soup products in the United Kingdom. As such, the Company recorded a $6,166 non-cash impairment charge related to the closures of these facilities.

During fiscal 2019, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $9,653 to write down the value of certain machinery and equipment no longer in use in the United States and United Kingdom, some of which was used to manufacture certain slow moving SKUs that were discontinued.

In fiscal 2018, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that certain fixed assets at three of its manufacturing facilities would be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of their estimated useful lives due to the Company’s decision to utilize third-party manufacturers for two facilities in the United States and to consolidate manufacturing of certain soup products in the United Kingdom. As such, the Company recorded a $6,344 non-cash impairment charge primarily related to the closures of these facilities and included $3,767 as assets held for sale within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in its June 30, 2018 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Additionally, the Company recorded a $2,057 non-cash impairment charge to write down the value of certain machinery and equipment used to manufacture certain slow moving SKUs in the United States that were discontinued and included $686 as assets held for sale within “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” in its June 30, 2018 Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In fiscal 2017, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that certain fixed assets at one of its manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom would be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of their estimated useful lives due to the Company’s decision to exit its own-label chilled desserts business over the next twelve months. As such, the Company recorded a $23,712 non-cash impairment charge related to the long-lived assets associated with the own-label chilled desserts business to their estimated fair values, which was equal to its salvage value. Additionally, the Company recorded a $2,661 non-cash impairment charge related to fixed assets in the United States.
