Subsequent Events [Abstract] |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Events: On November 5, 2015, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Tribotecc Metal Sulfides business to Treibacher Industrie AG for an undisclosed amount of cash. Included in the transaction are sites in Vienna and Arnoldstein, Austria, and Tribotecc’s proprietary sulfide synthesis process. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close by the end of 2015. Additionally, subsequent to September 30, 2015, we considered the accounting guidance in ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, and determined that the assets held for sale criteria were met for our Minerals operating segment. As such, we expect to account for the assets of both businesses as held for sale beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015. As of September 30, 2015, the combined net assets of these businesses totaled approximately $225.0 million. We have also determined that as of September 30, 2015, expected cash flows of both businesses were sufficient to establish recoverability of the asset carrying values, and therefore no impairment charge has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
