On January 17, 2025, pursuant to an order issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division, and the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement dated October 11, 2024 and effective December 13, 2024, JWI completed the sale of its Towanda, PA operations to WG Towanda LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Woodgrain Inc. Towanda was previously included within the North America segment.

Since the Company will continue manufacturing door skins for its internal needs, the court-ordered divestiture decision did not represent a strategic shift thereby precluding the court-ordered divestiture as qualifying as a discontinued operation.

The selling price of Towanda was $115.0 million, subject to certain adjustments and closing conditions, paid in cash during the first quarter of 2025. In connection with the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company recognized a $31.4 million goodwill impairment charge during the fourth quarter of 2024. We recorded a $0.7 million pre-tax gain on the sale of Towanda, within SG&A in our consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of 2025. The gain is driven by a post-close net working capital adjustment. Towanda had a net carrying value of $110.8 million, which included property and equipment, net of $65.4 million, inventory of $16.7 million, trade receivables of $8.8 million, operating lease assets of $2.2 million, intangible assets, net of $1.5 million and goodwill of $33.6 million. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The assets were partially offset by accounts payable of $9.2 million and other liabilities which were individually immaterial. We recorded $8.5 million in tax expense related to the gain from the sale within income tax expense in our consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of 2025.

During 2021, the Company ceased the appeal process for its litigation with Steves further described in Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies. As a result, we were required to divest Towanda. Effective January 17, 2025, pursuant to an order issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division, and the previously announced Asset Purchase Agreement, JWI completed the sale of Towanda.

As of December 31, 2024, the assets and liabilities associated with the court-ordered divestiture of Towanda qualified as held for sale and were included in assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
