IMPAIRMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets

During the first quarter of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and decline in oil prices had a significant impact on our customers and industry. We started to see our customers revise their capital budgets downwards and adjust their operations accordingly, which led to a decline in orders for new compression equipment to be fabricated and sold to third parties, among other impacts. We concluded these events were indicators of impairment for all asset groups within our Compression Division and certain asset groups within our Completion Fluids & Products Division. As a result, we performed recoverability analyses on the relevant asset groups within these divisions. Based upon these recoverability analyses, we determined that the carrying values of our Midland manufacturing facility and related new unit sales inventory in our Compression Division exceeded their respective fair values. Therefore, we recorded impairments of approximately $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2020 related to these assets. Fair value was estimated based on a market approach. No other recoverability analysis performed indicated an impairment as of March 31, 2020. Given the dynamic nature of the events beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we are not able to reasonably estimate how long our operations will be adversely impacted and the full extent these events will have on our operations. As a result, we could have indicators of impairment again in future periods resulting in additional asset impairments.
