The Company owns 24.7% interest in Grupo Vasconia S.A.B (“Vasconia”), an integrated manufacturer of aluminum products and a housewares company in Mexico. Shares of Vasconia’s capital stock are traded on the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, the Mexican Stock Exchange. The Quotation Key is VASCONI. During the second quarter of 2024, Vasconia’s shareholders’ approved a resolution to a reorganization process in terms of the Law of Commercial Bankruptcy in Mexico and subsequently a bankruptcy suit was filed against Vasconia by one of its largest suppliers. The Company concluded that the recent events constituted a loss of significant influence and resulted in the discontinuation of the equity method of accounting. The Company accounts for its Vasconia investment at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 321: Investments — Equity Securities, with any changes in fair value recorded within income (loss) on equity securities on the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the loss of significant influence, the accumulated other comprehensive losses previously recognized under the equity method of accounting were reclassified to the carrying value of the Vasconia investment and subsequently resulted in a non-cash loss of $14.2 million to reduce the investment to its fair value during the three months ended June 30, 2024. The fair value of the Vasconia investment was not material as of December 31, 2024.
Given Vasconia’s limited trading activity, recent operating results of Vasconia and impact of the bankruptcy related activity, the fair value of the Vasconia investment was measured using the income approach based on Level 3 unobservable inputs.
