Note 5. Divestiture Activities
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Cortland Fibron business (Engineered Components & Systems segment) met the criteria for assets held for sale treatment. The related assets and liabilities of the Cortland Fibron business to be sold are classified as assets/liabilities held for sale and approximate the estimated fair value, less cost to sell as of August 31, 2018. As a result, the Company recognized impairment & divestiture charges in fiscal 2018 of $46.3 million which generated an income tax benefit of $1.4 million.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company determined that the Precision Hayes and Cortland U.S. businesses (Engineered Components & Systems segment) were non-core assets, did not align with the strategic objectives of the Company and as a result, the Company committed to a plan to sell these businesses. Since the Precision Hayes and Cortland U.S. businesses met the criteria for assets held for sale as of November 30, 2018, the related assets and liabilities of the businesses to be sold are classified as assets/liabilities held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2018 and approximate the estimated fair value, less cost to sell. As a result of the held for sale treatments and fair value estimates, the Company recognized impairment & divestiture charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 of $36.5 million, comprised of: (i) a $21.1 million charge representing the excess of the net book value of assets held for sale to the anticipated proceeds; (ii) a non-cash impairment charge of $13.7 million related to the recognition in earnings of the cumulative effect of foreign currency rate changes since acquisition and (iii) $1.7 million of other divestiture charges. These charges generated an income tax benefit of $2.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
The following is a summary of the assets and liabilities held for sale (in thousands):
(1) Represents the consolidated assets and liabilities for the Precision Hayes, Cortland U.S. and Cortland Fibron businesses held for sale at
November 30, 2018.
(2) Represents the Cortland Fibron business held for sale at August 31, 2018.
The historic results of the Precision Hayes and Cortland businesses are not material to the condensed consolidated financial results of the Company and are included in continuing operations. The Precision Hayes and Cortland businesses had combined net sales of $29.4 million and $28.0 million in the three months ended November 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Additional charges are anticipated upon the completion of a sale and include, but are not limited to, items such as liabilities triggered only upon sale completion, changes in the composition of the net asset disposal groups and changes to estimated sales proceeds.
The Company completed the sale of Cortland Fibron on December 19, 2018 for $12.5 million and the sale of Precision Hayes on December 31, 2018 for $23.6 million. Both transactions were paid in cash at the closing and are subject to closing working capital adjustments, indebtedness and other adjustments. We anticipate recognizing an additional $2 million to $4 million in divestiture charges (primarily working capital adjustments, accelerated vesting of equity compensation and completion bonuses) in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.
On December 1, 2017, the Company completed the sale of the Viking business for net cash proceeds of $8.8 million, which resulted in an after-tax impairment & divestiture charge of $12.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, comprised of real estate lease exit charges of $3.0 million related to retained facilities that became vacant as a result of the Viking divestiture and approximately $9.4 million of associated discrete income tax expense. The results of the Viking business (which had net sales of $2.7 million in the three months ended November 30, 2017) are not material to the consolidated financial results and are included in continuing operations.
As part of our portfolio management process, we routinely review our businesses with respect to our strategic initiatives and long-term objectives and are taking actions that are anticipated to improve the operational performance of the Company. The aforementioned divestitures and any potential future divestitures pose risks and challenges that could negatively impact our business, including required separation or carve-out activities and costs, disputes with buyers or potential impairment charges.
