PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
As part of our acquisition of the whole blood business from Pall Corporation (“Pall”) in fiscal 2012, Pall agreed to manufacture and install in one of our facilities a filter media manufacturing line (the “HDC line”) for which we agreed to pay Pall approximately $15.0 million (plus pre-approved overages). Pall also agreed to supply media to us for use in leukoreduction filters until such time as we accepted the HDC line.
In May 2018, we entered into a long-term supply agreement with Pall under which Pall will continue to supply media to us for use in leukoreduction filters. As a condition of the supply agreement, we agreed to accept the HDC line and to make a final payment of $9.0 million to Pall for the HDC line.
As a result of the decision to continue to source media for our leukoreduction filters from Pall rather than producing them internally, we do not expect to utilize the HDC line for future production and expect that the asset’s future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying value of $19.8 million. Accordingly, during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 we recorded $19.8 million of impairment charges for the HDC line.
We also impaired $1.4 million of property, plant and equipment as a result of our review of non-core and underperforming assets and our decision to discontinue the use of or investment in certain assets. This impairment, as well as the impairment of the HDC line, were included within cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of (loss) income and impacted the All Other reporting segment.
Additionally, we have changed the estimated useful lives of our PCS2 devices as these will be replaced by the NexSys PCSTM which we began placing during the second quarter of fiscal 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $3.9 million of depreciation expense related to this change in estimate.
