Restructuring and Strategic Review
Current report
In fiscal 2025, the Company announced a series of plant closures and a broader strategic review of the Company’s portfolio, which could result in the divestiture of certain businesses. Restructuring costs and activities related to the strategic review could result in increased selling, general and administrative costs in the form of restructuring and transaction costs, as well increased costs of sales as the result of increased depreciation related to a decrease in useful lives of assets at impacted sites. Furthermore, these activities could result in the Company recognizing impairment charges on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets or goodwill.
