Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

NOTE C – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review the carrying value of our long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite useful lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.

Impairment testing of long-lived assets with definite useful lives involves a comparison of the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group to its respective carrying amount. If the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows exceeds the carrying amount, then no impairment exists. If the carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows, then a second step is performed to determine the amount of impairment, which would be recorded as an impairment charge in our consolidated statement of earnings.

No impairment charges were recognized during the six months ended November 30, 2016.

Impairment charges during the six months ended November 30, 2015, consisted of $3,000,000 related to the then remaining long-lived assets of the Company’s Engineered Cabs facility in Florence, South Carolina, which ceased operations on September 30, 2015, and $22,962,000 for the impairment of the long-lived assets of two oil & gas equipment facilities triggered by a significant decrease in the long-term cash flow projections of that business. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.
