During the preparation of the financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the company recorded an impairment charge related to the planned exit of the Monterrey manufacturing facility as part of the company's footprint optimization efforts. The impairment charge represents the excess of the assets’ carrying values over their estimated fair values, which were determined using the income approach and Level 3 inputs, including expected sublease rental rates, vacancy periods, and a discount rate. The Monterrey asset group is reported under the Residential segment.
During the preparation of the financial statements for the third quarter of fiscal 2026, the company also recorded an impairment charge related to the exit of a residential mower platform, resulting in non-cash impairment charges to property, plant, and equipment reported under the Residential segment.
As a result of these two actions, the company recorded non-cash impairment charges of an aggregate of $43.1 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2026 which were allocated to property, plant, and equipment and the Monterrey right-of-use asset. These charges resulted in a 1.4 million income tax benefit (deferred tax asset) associated with the remaining tax deductible basis of the assets.
