Other Operating (Expense) Income, Net

Other operating income, net, is comprised generally of gains and losses on divestitures and the sale of assets; asset and portfolio rationalization charges; recoveries and losses related to certain customer accounts receivable; recoveries and losses on the resolution of contingency accruals; rental, royalty and services income; and accretion expense and depreciation expense related to asset retirement obligations. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, other operating income, net, included a $1.3 billion pretax gain on the divestiture of the South Texas cement business and certain of its related ready mixed concrete operations, which was partially offset by a $50 million pretax, noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge.

The noncash asset and portfolio rationalization charge for the six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to the Company's decision to discontinue usage of certain long-haul distribution facilities to transport aggregates products into Colorado as the Albert Frei & Sons, Inc. acquisition completed in January 2024 provides more economical, local aggregates supply. This charge, which is reported in the West Group, reflects the Company's evaluation of the recoverability of certain long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, for the cessation of these railroad operations.
