On September 21, 2017, a fire occurred at a facility of Titan Tire Reclamation Corporation (TTRC), a subsidiary of the Company, located in Fort McMurray, AB.  The TTRC facility contains six thermal vacuum recovery (TVR) units, which are large, contained capsules used to recycle large mining tires.  The fire started within one of the TVR units and was contained to a building housing three of the TVR units. As a result of the damage caused by the fire, Titan recorded an asset impairment of $9.9 million. Titan carries both casualty and property insurance for its facilities and equipment, as well as business interruption insurance. The asset impairment amount was partially offset by an initial insurance advance received in the amount of $1.6 million. The Company received additional insurance proceeds during 2020 totaling $8.6 million which is recorded in other income line item within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 21 for further detail.

The Company recorded a $13.8 million asset impairment charge during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to certain machinery and equipment located at TTRC as a result of market declines, which indicated the remaining book value of the equipment is more than the fair market value. The TTRC asset impairment charge is recorded in cost of sales line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $6.0 million related to the customer relationships intangible asset in Australia as a result of attrition of several customers since the business was initially acquired in 2012. This impairment charge is recorded in the selling, general and administrative expenses line item in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
