Q4 2015 Egypt Impairment Assessment

During the 2015 year-end close process, our analysis of the Egypt business indicated an impairment as the carrying value of the business exceeded the estimated fair value. This was primarily the result of reducing our long-term projections of the business. During 2015, Egypt performed generally in line with our revenue and earnings projections, which assumed growth as compared to 2014. However, as a result of currency restrictions for the payment of goods in Egypt, we lowered our long-term revenue and earnings projections for the business. Accordingly, a non-cash before tax impairment charge of $6.9 ($6.9 after tax) was recorded to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill. There is no amount remaining associated with goodwill for our Egypt reporting unit as a result of this impairment charge.

Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of Egypt during the impairment assessment included projections of revenue and the resulting cash flows, as well as the discount rate (based on the estimated weighted-average cost of capital). To estimate the fair value of Egypt, we forecasted revenue and the resulting cash flows over five years using a DCF model which included a terminal value at the end of the projection period. We believed that a five-year period was a reasonable amount of time in order to return cash flows of Egypt to normalized, sustainable levels.
