ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE
In September 2025, Grainger committed to a plan to sell its Cromwell business in the United Kingdom (U.K.), part of Other, which is not a reportable segment, and entered into a definitive agreement on October 6, 2025. Completion of the sale is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approval. The Company determined the associated assets and liabilities met the held for sale accounting criteria as of September 30, 2025. As a result, the Company recorded an asset impairment loss of $186 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2025 to adjust the net book value of this business (including cumulative translation losses related to the Cromwell business in accumulated other comprehensive losses) to its fair value less cost to sell. There was no tax benefit as a result of this impairment loss. The planned divestiture is not considered a strategic shift that will have a material effect on the Company's operations and financial results, and therefore it does not qualify for reporting as discontinued operations.

The assets and liabilities classified as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025 were as follows (in millions of dollars):
