FLOORING BUSINESSES

Separation and Distribution of AFI

On April 1, 2016, we completed our separation of Armstrong Flooring, Inc. ("AFI") by allocating the assets and liabilities related primarily to our Resilient and Wood Flooring segments to AFI and then distributing the common stock of AFI to our shareholders at a ratio of one share of AFI common stock for every two shares of AWI common stock.

European Resilient Flooring

During 2020, we recorded a gain of $0.8 million related to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) adjustments from a previously discontinued foreign flooring entity, which was dissolved in the second quarter of 2020. The AOCI adjustments related to accumulated foreign currency translation amounts.
