IMPAIRMENTS

During the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019, we initiated the 2019 Plan (as defined in Note 14 - Restructurings) designed to strategically realign, streamline and improve our operations, including reducing our workforce and exiting certain product offerings and research and development facilities. We also committed to reducing certain development activities for one of our product lines. See Note 14 - Restructurings for additional information about the 2019 Plan. As a result of implementing the 2019 Plan, we reassessed our previous estimates for expected future revenue growth. We performed impairment analyses to determine whether our goodwill and long-lived assets, comprised of definite-lived intangible assets and property and equipment, were recoverable. Based on the estimated undiscounted cash flow assessment for long-lived assets, we determined that for an asset group, the cash flows were not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the long-lived assets over their remaining useful lives. Accordingly, we recorded impairment charges of $217.5 million and $33.2 million to our customer relationship intangible assets and acquired technology intangible assets, respectively, in the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019, based on the difference between the fair value and the carrying value of the long-lived assets. We will continue to monitor for events or changes in business circumstances that may indicate that the remaining carrying value of the asset group may not be recoverable. We used the income approach to determine the fair value of the definite-lived intangible assets and the cost approach to determine the fair value of its property and equipment.

Additionally, in connection with the 2019 Plan, we determined that certain intangible assets would be abandoned and would not have a future benefit. Accordingly, we recorded impairment charges of $2.4 million and $3.9 million to our customer relationship intangible assets and acquired technology intangible assets, respectively, during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019, we also determined that an asset recorded as construction in process would not be able to be placed in service as a productive asset, and therefore had no fair value. Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $7.1 million for this asset during the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2019.

See Note 14 - Restructurings for information related to property and equipment impaired as part of our restructuring actions.
