Recorded investments generally represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of the Company’s ownership interest. Earnings or losses are reflected in “Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated affiliates” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Due to the timing and availability of information, earnings or losses from unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method are recorded on a three-month lag. The Company holds an equity interest in BME Fire Trucks LLC (Boise Mobile).

There were no material transactions between the Company and Boise Mobile in 2023, 2022, the three months ended December 31, 2021 or fiscal 2021.

In the third quarter of 2023, the Company completed the sale of Mezcladoras for $2.9 million, resulting in an additional loss of $1.9 million, primarily to eliminate the cumulative translation adjustments related to Mezcladoras upon liquidation of the investment.
