Leggett & Platt previously disclosed that it had been considering strategic alternatives for its CVP unit, including possible divestiture of the business. The Company Informed that as a part of that process, it has become apparent that current market values for certain CVP assets, primarily goodwill, have fallen below recorded book values, due to lower expectations of future revenue and profitability, which is reflected by reduced market demand for the racks, shelving, and cabinets used in telecom, cable, and delivery vans. The Company further revealed its intentions to focus on improving the operating performance and cost structure of the CVP business.
