GAIN (LOSS) ON SALE OF AND IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, NET [Abstract] |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS We review the carrying values of our long-lived assets for potential impairments and believe we have adequate support for the carrying value of each of these assets based upon the anticipated cash flows that result from our estimates of future demand, pricing, and production costs, assuming certain levels of planned capital expenditures. However, if demand and pricing for our products fall to levels significantly below cycle average demand and pricing, should we decide to invest capital in alternative projects, or should changes occur related to our wood supply for our mills, it is possible that future impairment charges will be required. We also review from time to time possible dispositions of various assets in light of current and anticipated economic and industry conditions, our strategic plan, and other relevant factors. Because a determination to dispose of particular assets can require management to make assumptions regarding the transaction structure of the disposition and to estimate the net sales proceeds, which may be less than previous estimates of undiscounted future net cash flows, we may be required to record impairment charges in connection with decisions to dispose of assets. During 2023, we recorded $30 million of non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges, $24 million of which was related to the shutdown of Entekra, including $13 million of property, plant, and equipment, $9 million of intangible assets, and $3 million related to operating lease assets. See further discussion in “Note 7 - Business Exit Charges”. Further, $6 million of non-cash, pre-tax impairment charges were recognized related to the Granite City, Illinois facility which is scheduled for closure in 2024, including $4 million of property, plant, and equipment and $2 million related to operating lease assets. During 2022, we recognized $1 million of pre-tax impairment charges. These assets were written down to fair value based on Level 2 inputs under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, using quoted market prices.
