Note 4 – Gunderson Facility

 

On November 17, 2022, as part of the Company's strategic review of the global business capacity footprint, the Company decided to permanently cease rail production at the Company’s Gunderson facility during 2023 and to explore alternatives to exit marine barge production in the first part of calendar 2024. Due to the change in future use of the facility, management assessed recoverability of Gunderson assets in accordance with the Company’s policy on impairment of long-lived assets. Based on an analysis of future undiscounted cash flows associated with these assets, management determined that the carrying value was not recoverable. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-lived assets at the Gunderson facility was $44.0 million and the fair value was $19.8 million as of the impairment date. The fair value was primarily determined based on estimated market prices of the assets and represented a Level 3 valuation in the fair value hierarchy. On January 5, 2023, the Company concluded that an impairment charge was necessary and $24.2 million was recorded in the Manufacturing segment as Impairment of long-lived assets within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter ended November 30, 2022. Although it is possible that costs and charges related to the cessation of production at the facility, such as exit costs, accelerated depreciation, and termination benefits may be incurred in future periods, the amount of any such costs and charges is not estimable at this time and the Company does not yet know if the amount of any such costs and charges will be material.
