Owens Corning to sell glass reinforcements unit for $755 million, expects impairment
Owens Corning agreed on February 13, 2025 to sell materially all of its global glass reinforcements business to buyers affiliated with the Praana Group at an enterprise value of $755 million, including $68 million of net metal lease liabilities, with completion expected in 2025. The company expects to record an impairment charge but says it cannot yet estimate the amount, and the Composites segment will be eliminated, which matters to shareholders because the size of the charge and the reporting changes are still unclear.
Key points
