Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

During the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company determined that its Global Retail business within its Building Solutions North America, Building Solutions Asia Pacific and Building Solutions EMEA/LA segments met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The assets and liabilities of this business are presented as held for sale in the consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2022. Assets and liabilities held for sale are required to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". The carrying amount of any assets, including goodwill, that are part of the disposal group, but not in the scope of ASC 360-10, should be tested for impairment under the relevant guidance prior to measuring the disposal group at fair value, less cost to sell. Accordingly, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $235 million within restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income to write down the goodwill related to its North America Retail reporting unit. Refer to Note 8, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the goodwill impairment charges. Additionally, the Company has recorded total impairment charges of $86 million within restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income to write down the disposal group to its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. Refer to Note 18, "Impairment of Long-Lived Assets," of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the impairment charges. The divestiture of the business held for sale could result in a gain or loss on sale to the extent the ultimate selling price differs from the current carrying value of the net assets recorded, which could be material. The business did not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as the divestiture of the business does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results.
