ASSETS AND LIABILITIES HELD FOR SALE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Assets Held for Sale
During 2024, we engaged in a strategy and developed a formalized plan to divest certain non-core businesses to reduce our debt, improve our balance sheet and increase liquidity. As of March 31, 2025, we have divested our BWRS, SPIG and GMAB businesses and have a plan to divest our Vølund business in 2025, as discussed below. Results of operations for these businesses and the financial position of the divested subsidiaries are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and the notes to the financial statements have been adjusted on a retrospective basis.
During the fourth quarter of 2024, we committed to a plan to sell our Vølund business (formerly part of our B&W Renewable segment) and classified the assets and liabilities of this business as held for sale. In addition, we also determined that the operations of the Vølund business qualified as discontinued operations, as this business was part of the formalized plan. As of March 31, 2025 Vølund still qualifies as discontinued operations. We sold our Vølund business on April 29, 2025, described further in Note 20 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the third quarter of 2023, we committed to a plan to sell our B&W Solar business (formerly part of our B&W Renewable segment) and classified the assets and liabilities of this business as held for sale. In addition, we also determined that the operations of the B&W Solar business qualified as a discontinued operation, primarily based upon its significance to our current and historic operating losses. Certain circumstances beyond our control have extended the period required to complete the sale within one year, including market conditions driven by uncertainties surrounding the change in U.S. presidential administrations and related impacts to the solar industry. We initiated actions necessary to respond to these changes by engaging an advisory service provider with specialized industry qualifications. We continue to meet the criteria to account for the B&W Solar business as held for sale and discontinued operations as of March 31, 2025.
Divestitures
BWRS
On June 28, 2024, we, through our B&W PGG Luxembourg Finance Sárl subsidiary, sold all issued and outstanding share capital of our Denmark-based renewable parts and services subsidiary, BWRS, to Hitachi Zosen Inova AG. We received net cash proceeds of $83.5 million and recorded a gain on the sale of the business of $44.9 million. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding debt and support working capital needs. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 we recorded a gain of $1.0 million as part of the final settlement.
SPIG and GMAB
On October 30, 2024, we, through our B&W PGG Luxembourg Finance Sárl subsidiary and Babcock & Wilcox A/S subsidiary, sold the entire issued and outstanding share capital of our Italy-based SPIG and Sweden-based GMAB subsidiaries to Auctus Neptune Holding S.p.A. We received net cash proceeds of $33.7 million and recorded a gain of $14.1 million, solely related to the CTA reclassification. We recorded an impairment of $5.8 million as of September 30, 2024, as the disposal group carrying value exceeded the expected net proceeds from the sale. The proceeds were used to support working capital needs and reduce outstanding debt.
