We evaluate long-lived assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of our assets may not be recoverable. Due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we evaluated whether an impairment indicator existed as of September 30, 2020. Based on our current forecast and expectations of market conditions, we determined that there was no triggering event that required us to update our impairment evaluation of property, plant and equipment. However, if current volatile market conditions deteriorate further or continue for an extended period of time, we may be required to assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which could result in an impairment.
