Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Discontinued Operations | Discontinued Operations In fiscal 2023, the Company continued to execute its plan to divest of non-core businesses. On September 30, 2022, AZZ contributed its AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment, excluding AZZ Crowley Tubing ("AIS") to a joint venture, AIS Investment Holdings LLC (the "AIS JV") and sold a 60% interest in the AIS JV to Fernweh Group LLC ("Fernweh" at an implied enterprise value of AIS of $300.0 million. Management previously committed to a plan to divest substantially all of the AIS segment. As part of recognizing the business as held for sale in accordance with GAAP, the Company was required to measure AIS at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As a result of this analysis, during fiscal 2023, the Company recognized an estimated non-cash, pre-tax loss on disposal of $159.9 million, which is included in "Loss on disposal of discontinued operations" in the consolidated statements of operations. The loss was determined by comparing the fair value of the consideration received for the sale of a 60% interest in the AIS JV and the fair value of the Company’s retained 40% investment in the AIS JV with the net assets of the AIS JV immediately prior to the transaction and includes $27.8 million from the derecognition of the cumulative translation adjustment related to its investment in foreign entities within the AIS segment. The fair value of the Company’s retained investment in the AIS JV was determined in a manner consistent with the transaction price received for the sale of the 60% interest in the AIS JV. On September 30, 2022, when the AIS JV transaction closed, the joint venture was deconsolidated. The Company retained a 40% interest in the joint venture, which is now accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The proceeds from the sale consisted of approximately $108.0 million, as well as $120.0 million that was funded by committed debt financing taken on by the AIS JV immediately prior to the closing of the sale. The debt financing of the AIS JV did not impact the Company's existing credit facility. The Company used the cash received from the AIS JV to repay a portion of the Term Loan B, the Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. See Note 8. The divestiture of the AZZ Infrastructure Solutions segment represents an intentional strategic shift in our operations and will allow the Company to become a focused provider of coating and galvanizing solutions for critical applications. As a result, the results of the AIS segment were classified as discontinued operations in our condensed statements of operations and excluded from both continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. We have separately reported the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets. The assets and liabilities have been reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2022, and consist of the following (in thousands):
