Disclosure of Impairment of Long-Lived Assets [Abstract] |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including right-of-use assets under operating leases, other tangible assets and intangible assets with definitive lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, "Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," ASC 350-30, "General Intangibles Other than Goodwill" and ASC 985-20, "Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased, or Marketed." The Company groups assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluates the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset group is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on a discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination that are used in research and development activities are considered indefinite-lived until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts. During the period that those assets are considered indefinite lived, they are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. If the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess. Unamortized capitalized costs of a computer software product are compared to the net realizable value of the product. The amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs of a computer software product exceed the net realizable value of that asset is written off. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment for certain of its long-lived assets in conjunction with classifying certain business within the Building Solutions Asia Pacific segment as held for sale. Assets and liabilities held for sale are required to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $60 million within restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income to write down the carrying value of the disposal group to the fair value, based on estimated sale proceeds for the planned disposal, less costs to sell. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment for certain of its long-lived assets in conjunction with classifying its Global Retail business as held for sale. As a result, the Company fully impaired $36 million of internal-use software projects that were no longer probable of being completed. Assets and liabilities held for sale are required to be recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. Accordingly, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $86 million within restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income to write down the carrying value of the disposal group to the fair value, based on estimated sale proceeds for the planned disposal, less costs to sell. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment for certain of its long-lived assets in conjunction with its restructuring actions announced in fiscal 2021. As a result, the Company reviewed the long-lived assets for impairment and recorded $40 million of asset impairment charges within restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income. Of the total impairment charges, $32 million related to the Global Products segment, $5 million related to the Building Solutions EMEA/LA segment and $3 million related to the Building Solutions North America segment. Refer to Note 10, "Significant Restructuring and Impairment Costs," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information. The impairments were measured under a market approach utilizing an appraisal to determine fair values of the impaired assets. This method is consistent with the methods the Company employed in prior periods to value other long-lived assets. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement. In the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the Company concluded it had a triggering event requiring assessment of impairment for certain of its long-lived assets in conjunction with its restructuring actions announced in fiscal 2021. As a result, the Company reviewed the long-lived assets for impairment and recorded $54 million of asset impairment charges within restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income. Of the total impairment charges, $29 million related to the Building Solutions North America segment, $16 million related to the Global Products segment, $5 million related to Corporate assets and $4 million related to the Building Solutions Asia Pacific segment. Refer to Note 10, "Significant Restructuring and Impairment Costs," of the notes to consolidated financial statements for additional information. The impairments were measured under a market approach utilizing an appraisal to determine fair values of the impaired assets. This method is consistent with the methods the Company employed in prior periods to value other long-lived assets. The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurement." At June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company concluded it did not have any other triggering events requiring assessment of impairment of its long-lived assets.
