Divestitures [Abstract] |
Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures | DIVESTITURES AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE Divestiture of Keds® Business On February 7, 2023 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Designer Brands, Inc. (the "Buyer") pursuant to which the Buyer agreed to purchase the global Keds® business. The sale was effective February 4, 2023, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The following table summarizes the net gain recognized in connection with the divestiture:
(In millions) |
Net proceeds | $ | 83.4 |
Net assets disposed | (65.9) |
Direct costs to sell | (1.6) |
AOCI reclassification adjustment, foreign currency translation | 4.2 |
Gain on sale of business | $ | 20.1 |
The Company determined that the divestiture of the Keds® business did not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the Consolidated Results of Operations, and therefore results were not classified as discontinued operations. The proceeds from the sales were used to reduce outstanding revolver borrowings. Divestiture of U.S. Wolverine Leathers Business On August 23, 2023, the Company completed the sale of its U.S. Wolverine Leathers business to its long-time customer, New Balance. The Company received $4.0 million in cash for the sale and recognized a gain on sale of $1.9 million. The assets sold, which were included in the Other segment category, consist of $2.1 million in inventory. Divestiture of Hush Puppies intellectual property in China, Hong Kong, and Macau On September 1, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell the Hush Puppies® trademarks, patents, copyrights and domains in China, Hong Kong and Macau to its current sublicensee, Beijing Jiaman Dress Co., Ltd. for cash of $58.8 million and recognized a gain on sale of $55.8 million. The gain on sale is net of transaction related fees of $3.0 million. The transaction closed on September 14, 2023. The Company will continue to own the Hush Puppies® brand throughout the rest of the world. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company announced that it had initiated a formal process to divest the Wolverine Leathers business. As noted above, the Company completed the sale of its U.S. Wolverine Leathers business. The Company continues to explore alternatives for the non-U.S. Wolverine Leathers business. The Company has determined that the non-U.S. Wolverine Leathers business meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, and therefore has reclassified the related assets and liabilities as held for sale on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The following is a summary of the major categories of assets and liabilities that have been classified as held for sale on the consolidated condensed balance sheets at September 30, 2023:
(In millions) | September 30, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 4.3 |
Accounts receivables, net | 3.0 |
Inventories | 8.8 |
Total assets held for sale | $ | 16.1 |
Accounts payable | $ | 2.8 |
Accrued liabilities | 0.3 |
Total liabilities held for sale | $ | 3.1 |
The Company determined that the planned divestiture of the non-U.S. Wolverine Leathers business does not represent a strategic shift that had or will have a major effect on the consolidated condensed results of operations, and therefore results of this business were not classified as discontinued operations.
