DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On February 23, 2021, the Company sold the stock of its Industrial business which had been classified as held for sale and reported as a discontinued operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Net proceeds of $38 million, consisting of cash and a $13 million seller note, resulted in a pre-tax loss of $30 million, of which $29.6 million was recorded when the assets of the Industrial business were written down to fair market value during the fourth quarter of 2020. The seller note was paid in full to the Company during the second quarter of 2021. The results of operations of the Industrial business have been presented as a discontinued operation in the Company's consolidated statements of income for all periods presented.

There was no income from discontinued operations before taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, income from discontinued operations before taxes of $1.5 million consisted of net sales of $20.4 million, operating expenses of $17.5 million, and adjustment to loss on disposal of $1.4 million.

On December 1, 2023, the Company sold its Japan-based solar racking business within its Renewables segment to a third party. The $8.0 million net proceeds from the sale resulted in a pre-tax net loss of $0.6 million and has been presented within other (income) expense in the consolidated statements of income. This divestiture did not meet the criteria to be recorded as a discontinued operation nor did it have a major effect on the Company's operations.
