During fiscal 2018, in connection with a portfolio review of business investments, the Company committed to a plan of divestiture of its pump and filtration businesses, a Company-owned irrigation dealership, and a Company-owned water resource consulting firm, all of which are reported in the Irrigation segment.  The Company completed the divestiture of its pump and filtration businesses and the Company-owned water resource consulting firm during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.

 

The Company completed the divestiture of its Company-owned irrigation dealership during the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and recorded a loss on sale of $0.1 million included in general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statement of earnings for the three months ended November 30, 2018.  The Company received a note of $5.8 million as proceeds for this sale. This is included as a noncash investing activity on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company closed one of its infrastructure manufacturing facilities in North America and consolidated its operations with an irrigation manufacturing facility.  The building related to the closure is currently listed for sale and is included within the caption “Assets held-for-sale” in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2018.
