Until December 31, 2014, Republic has invested USD $158.8 million in an electric arc furnace and auxiliar facilities for its steel facility in Lorain, Ohio, USA, with the intention to satisfy growing customer demand of SBQ. The locality of this steel mill was selected due to its strategic location close to customers and the availability of skilled labor. Furnace construction started at midyear of 2012 and the operations started production in July 2014. The furnace steel amount includes of USD $ 45.4 million of labor and capitalized indirect expenses. This facility was idled in June of 2015 and management has no near-term plans to restart the facility, except for the Lorain 9/10” Mill, which is in the process of being recommissioned due to market demand for cold heading quality steel (CHQ) and special bar quality steel (SBQ). The expectation is that it will be restarted when market conditions improve substantially, particularly in the oil and gas drilling industry. During 2022 and 2021, the Company invested in certain improvements in the Lorain facility so as to be better prepared to reactivate the plant, with USD$ 5.5 and USD$ 15.6 million recorded to construction-in-progress for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The construction in progress in the last 3 years amount to USD $27.1 million. Management expects to incur USD$ 4.0 million in additional costs related to starting up the facility. The Company has property, machinery, and equipment with a net book value of approximately USD$ 61.7, USD$ 54.6 and USD$ 40.3 million as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, pertaining to the Lorain, Ohio facility after recording an impairment charge of USD$ 130.7 million when the facility was idled. As a consequence of this event, management determined a triggering event took place to where the long-lived assets at the Lorain facility may not be fully recoverable. Management performed an analysis of the fair value of the Lorain facility with the assistance of an independent valuation firm and determined the net book value exceeded the fair value by approximately U.S.$130.7 million (Ps.$ 2,701 million) and as such recognized an asset impairment of this amount during the year ended December 31, 2015. The fair value determination at the Lorain facility was based on an independent valuation of the Lorain melt shop assets using the comparable match method of the market approach. The income approach was not considered an appropriate fair value measurement due to the absence of reliable forecast data as the facility was idled indefinitely in early 2016. Management further assessed if there were any impairments at the Company’s other asset groups in accordance with IFRS and determined that as of December 31, 2022, no other asset groups were impaired based on current projections. No further impairment was considered necessary or appropriate.
