Impairment Charges The components of impairment charges are as follows:
These impairment charges are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations caption “Impairment and restructuring costs”. Of the total impairment charges, $176 million of these were triggered by the announcement on April 30, 2025, whereby the Company announced it would permanently close the Company’s coated recycled board mill in St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S., discontinue production at its containerboard mill in Forney, Texas, U.S. (the “Mill Closures”) and had initiated consultations with local works councils in Germany with a view to permanently closing two converting facilities there (together with the Mill Closures, the “April 2025 Announced Closures”). These mills in the U.S. had ceased production by June 30, 2025. Following our decision to permanently close the above facilities, the Company assessed the recoverability of the associated long-lived assets being property, plant and equipment in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.” The fair value of the property, plant and equipment assets was determined based on their estimated selling price in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As a result of this assessment, an impairment charge of $159 million was recognized for the property, plant and equipment of the facilities affected by the April 2025 announcement. An impairment charge of $17 million was recognized in relation to spare parts included in inventories in these facilities.
