Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

Our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business operating from sites in the U.S. and the U.K, and our U.S. aluminum gas cylinder business were historically included in the Gas Cylinders segment. As a result of our decision to exit non-strategic aluminum product lines, we have reflected the results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. Our U.S. aluminum business was sold in March 2021 and we expect the sales of our Superform businesses to occur in 2021.

The assets and liabilities of the Superform businesses have been presented within Current assets held-for-sale and Current liabilities held-for-sale in the consolidated balance sheets for 2021 and 2020 and our U.S. aluminum business in 2020. The Company has determined that the carrying value of the held-for-sale assets is recoverable and as a result no loss allowances have been recognized.
