The Company classified the building as held for sale beginning in the fourth quarter of 2015 and ceased recording depreciation on the building at that time. The building had a carrying value of $14.7 million as of January 31, 2016, which was determined to be lower than the fair value, less costs to sell, and was included in other current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet in the Calvin Klein International segment.The Company completed the sale of the building on July 4, 2016 for proceeds of €15.0 million (approximately $16.7 million based on the exchange rate in effect on that date) and recorded a gain of $1.5 million, which represented the excess of the proceeds, less costs to sell, over the carrying value on that date. The gain was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement during the second quarter of 2016 and was included in the Calvin Klein International segment. |
