15(a)Impairment of property, plant and equipment

In 2021, 2020 and 2019 our Company recorded an impairment loss of $7, $202 and $546 on property, plant and equipment at Sigma Cable, Shanghai Yayang and SFO facilities. The impairment is presented within cost of sales in consolidated income statements, other operating expenses in Note 7(b), and the impairment of property, plant and equipment of ROW, North Asia and Thailand segments in Note 5.

Our Company identified impairment at Sigma Cable due to lack of profitability. Our Company determined that certain machinery and equipment would not generate the expected future cash flows. The impairment test revealed that the total carrying amount of these assets was greater than their total recoverable amount. After considering the relevant objective evidence, our Company recorded an impairment loss.

Our Company performed a valuation for utilized machinery measured at fair value less costs to sell using a cost approach due to closure of the manufacturing facilities at Shanghai Yayang. Its fair value measurement was classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. After considering the relevant evidence, the key assumption used included replacement costs, residual value and remaining useful life of these existing assets. The impairment test revealed that the recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT (continued)

15(a)Impairment of property, plant and equipment (continued)

Our Company considers the market demand for SFO’s products and performed an impairment test on the CGU composed of property, plant and equipment used in the manufacturing of fiber optic cables at SFO. Our Company determined the recoverable amount of the CGU to be $0 based on the value in use.  

 

15(b)    Pledge

Information about the property, plant and equipment that were pledged to others as collaterals is provided in Note 27(e) (i).
