In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria caused damage and disrupted operations at AUC and RUSM. In December 2018, AUC and RUSM received the final insurance settlement proceeds related to the property damage and disruption of operations caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. These proceeds produced a gain of $15.6 million, which was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2019.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2018, the campuses of AUC and RUSM were damaged from Hurricanes Irma and Maria, respectively. Hurricane-related impairment charges of $31.0 were recorded in fiscal year 2018 for building, building improvements, furniture, and equipment, along with receivables for insurance reimbursements of these amounts, less deductibles, of $21.9 million as of June 30, 2018. The impairment charges are included in cost of educational services in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, Adtalem announced its decision to relocate RUSM’s campus operations to Barbados and not return to RUSM’s Dominica campus. We recorded impairment charges of $39.1 million in fiscal year 2019 to fully impair the property and equipment in Dominica as management determined the market value less the costs to sell the facilities or move the equipment was zero. The impairment charges are included in restructuring expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) (see Note 6 “Restructuring Charges”).

On July 31, 2019, Adtalem sold its Chicago, Illinois, campus facility to DePaul College Prep for $52.0 million. Adtalem received $5.2 million of cash at the time of closing and holds a mortgage, secured by the property, from DePaul College Prep for $46.8 million. The mortgage is due on July 31, 2024 as a balloon payment and bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable monthly. The buyer has an option to make prepayments. Due to Adtalem’s involvement with financing the sale, the transaction did not qualify as a sale for accounting purposes. Adtalem continues to maintain the assets associated with the sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded a note receivable of $40.3 million and a financing payable of $45.5 million at the time of the sale, which were classified as other assets, net and other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 9 “Financing Receivables” for a discussion on the discounting of the note receivable. The $5.2 million received during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 is classified as a financing activity on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

On September 27, 2019, Adtalem closed on the sale of its Columbus, Ohio, campus facility. Net proceeds from the sale of $6.4 million resulted in a gain on the sale of $4.8 million in fiscal year 2020. This gain was recorded at Adtalem’s home office, which is classified as “Home Office and Other” in Note 21 “Segment Information.”
