Assets Held for Sale

As discussed in Note 6, our Restructuring Initiative included the planned closure of our Louisville-based Brown-Forman Cooperage. In January 2025, we reached an agreement to close that facility and sell the related assets.

In connection with this transaction, we recorded a $2 impairment charge in 2025 to write down the long-lived assets held for sale to their estimated fair value (net of selling costs). We also recorded $3 in charges to adjust the carrying amount of inventories held for sale as part of the transaction. We estimated the fair value based on the expected proceeds from the transaction. The carrying amount of the assets held for sale as of April 30, 2025, was $121, consisting of $33 in property, plant, and equipment, net, and $88 in inventories. The total carrying amount of the assets held for sale is presented as a separate line item in the consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2025.

On May 1, 2025, we completed the sale of the facility and related assets, resulting in an immaterial pre-tax impact on our consolidated statement of operations in fiscal 2026.
