Discontinued Operations Discontinued Operations
Our Superform aluminum superplastic forming business operating in the U.S. was 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 this business as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for all periods presented. We expect the sale of our Superform business to occur in 2024.
The assets and liabilities of the Superform business have been presented within assets held-for-sale and liabilities held-for-sale in the consolidated balance sheets for 2024 and 2023.
Results of discontinued operations in the first six months of 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

As a result of the Company’s strategic review process announced in October 2023, the Company concluded that its Graphic Arts business no longer aligns with the Company’s overall business and value proposition. In 2024, the Company initiated a sale process for its Graphic Arts business with the intention of divesting this business in 2024.
In the second quarter of 2024, the company recognized a $7.5 million loss on held-for-sale asset group recognized in continuing operations, relating to our Graphic Arts segment to reflect the the fair value of Graphic Arts. A $1.4 million accrual, also recognized within acquisition and disposal related costs in the Income Statement, has been recognized for expected costs in relation to professional fees in relation to the planned divestiture of the Graphic Arts segment.
In accordance with ASC 205-20 and ASC 360-10, our Graphic Arts business is classified as held-for-sale at June 30, 2024, however the business does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation.
