Fiscal 2019 Impairment Charges

During the nine month period ended May 31, 2019, within the EC&S segment, the Company recognized impairment charges related to the Precision Hayes and Cortland U.S. businesses in conjunction with meeting the criteria for assets classified as held for sale which resulted in a change in our current estimated fair value. Also, the Company recognized an additional impairment charge related to the Cortland Fibron business based on a change in the anticipated sales proceeds. Accordingly, we recognized $24.6 million of impairment charges for the nine months ended May 31, 2019. The Company did not record any impairment charges associated with goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets during the three month period ended May 31, 2019. See Note 5, “Divestiture Activities,” for further discussion of impairment & divestiture charges.
