Discontinued Operations, Goodwill, and Intangible Assets |
Discontinued Operations, Goodwill, and Intangible Assets | 3. Discontinued Operations, Goodwill, and Intangible Assets In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, management approved a plan to dispose of via sale the Company’s self-perform at-risk construction businesses. These businesses include the Company’s civil infrastructure, power, and oil and gas construction businesses that were previously reported in the Company’s Construction Services segment. After consideration of the relevant facts, the Company concluded the assets and liabilities of its self-perform at-risk construction businesses met the criteria for classification as held for sale. The Company concluded the actual and proposed disposal activities represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results and qualified for presentation as discontinued operations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-20. Accordingly, the financial results of the self-perform at-risk construction businesses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Current and non-current assets and liabilities of these businesses not sold as of the balance sheet date are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as assets and liabilities held for sale for both periods presented. The Company completed the sale of its civil infrastructure construction business to affiliates of Oroco Capital in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recorded an additional $40.0 million loss primarily related to revisions of estimates for its working capital obligation to be paid and a contingent consideration receivable. In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recorded a $38.9 million loss related to a revised estimate of its contingent consideration receivable recognized at the sale. Under the terms of the sale agreement, the Company made the required cash payments and delivered the cash and cash equivalents, including cash in consolidated joint ventures, on the balance sheet at closing. As a result, the Company recorded the net cash impact of the sale as a use of cash in the investing section of its statement of cash flows. On January 28, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its oil and gas construction business to affiliates of Graham Maintenance Services LP for a purchase price of $14 million, subject to cash, debt and working capital adjustments. The Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $3.0 million on the sale, net of transaction costs. During the third quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company collected approximately $9.2 million cash payment for contingent consideration completing this transaction. The following table represents summarized balance sheet information of assets and liabilities held for sale (in millions):
