Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

NOTE E – Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets

Fiscal 2020:  

On February 12, 2020, the Company announced a plan to consolidate its oil & gas equipment manufacturing operations in Wooster, Ohio, into its existing manufacturing facility in Bremen, Ohio.  The closure is expected to be complete by the end of fiscal 2020.  As a result, the Company tested the long-lived assets of the combined asset group, consisting of fixed assets and customer list intangible assets with net book values of $14,274,000 and $6,577,000, respectively, for impairment. The book value of the fixed assets was determined to be in excess of fair value, resulting in an impairment charge of $4,679,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.  Additionally, the customer list intangible assets were deemed to be fully impaired and written off. Fair value of the fixed assets was determined using observable Level 2 inputs and the fair value of the customer list intangible assets was determined using unobservable Level 3 inputs.  The land and building of the Wooster facility met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and, accordingly, have been presented separately as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet.  

As a result of the impairment charges noted above, the Company also performed an interim goodwill impairment test of its oil & gas equipment reporting unit.  The results of the analysis indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit no longer supported the book value of the corresponding goodwill, resulting in an impairment charge of $22,097,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2020.  The key assumptions used in the fair value calculation were projected cash flows and the discount rate, which represent unobservable, Level 3 inputs.  

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company’s consolidated joint venture, WSP committed to a plan to sell the Canton, Michigan facility and some of the production equipment at that facility.  The land and building related to the facility were determined to not be impaired and the book value of $6,312,000 has been presented separately as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet.  The production equipment was determined to be below fair market value therefore, the net assets were written down to their estimated fair value less cost to sell of $700,000 (determined using Level 2 inputs), resulting in an impairment charge of $1,274,000.  These assets have also been presented separately as assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet at February 29, 2020.  

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company committed to plans to sell substantially all of the net assets of its Engineered Cabs business with the exception of the fabricated products facility in Stow, Ohio, and the steel packaging facility in Greensburg, Indiana.  As of August 31, 2019, the disposal group met the criteria for classification as assets held for sale and the net assets were

recorded at the lower of net book value or fair value, less costs to sell, and presented separately as assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheet.  The book value of the disposal group exceeded its estimated fair market value of $12,860,000 (determined using Level 2 inputs), which resulted in the recording of a $35,194,000 impairment charge during the first quarter of fiscal 2020.  Included in the impairment charge were lease ROU assets with a net book value of $905,000 that were deemed fully impaired and written off.  On November 1, 2019, the assets of the disposal group were contributed to the Cabs joint venture.  For additional information, refer to “NOTE C – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates”.  The Company also identified an impairment indicator for the long-lived assets of the Engineered Cabs fabricated products business as the sale will have an adverse impact on the manner and extent in which the remaining assets are used.  As a result, fixed assets with a net book value of $1,469,000 and lease ROU assets with a net book value of $3,938,000 were deemed to be fully impaired and written off during the first quarter ended August 31, 2019.
