Divestiture
In October 2021, the Company entered into an agreement for approximately €20.0 ($21.7) in cash proceeds for the sale of a heavy industrial UPS business within the Europe, Middle East & Africa segment. As a result of the disposition, the Company adjusted the business to the current fair value, less expected costs to sell, and recorded an $8.7 impairment in “Asset impairments” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss). On December 21, 2021, the sale of the heavy industrial UPS business was finalized, which resulted in no additional impairment.
Annual Goodwill Impairment Analysis
The Company performed a qualitative impairment test for all of its reporting units during the fourth quarter of 2023. Based on the results of our qualitative impairment assessment, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded their carrying value and, therefore, our goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2023
