Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
On July 17, 2009, EnPro Industries, Inc. (the "Company") concluded that the
goodwill associated with its GGB Bearing Technology and Plastomer Technologies
businesses has been impaired, largely because the businesses' near-term outlooks
have been weakened by the deterioration of the global economic environment. As a
result, the Company will take a pre-tax impairment charge of $113.1 million, or
the full amount of goodwill associated with these businesses, in the second
quarter of 2009. Of this amount, $108.7 million is associated with the
acquisition of the Glacier metal polymer bearings business, prior to the
Company's spin-off from Goodrich Corporation. The remaining $4.4 million is
associated with the 2006 acquisition of Amicon Plastics. The impairment charge
will not result in future cash expenditures.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 20, 2009, the Company issued a press release addressing the matters
disclosed in Item 2.06 of this report, as well as a pre-tax gain of
$19.2 million following the reduction of its estimated liability for retiree
medical benefits associated with a previously owned business. The press release
is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
