Woodward tests goodwill for impairment during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and at any time there is an indication goodwill is more-likely-than-not impaired, commonly referred to as triggering events. Woodward’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 impairment test resulted in no impairment. During the three-months ended December 31, 2019, Woodward determined that the approved plan to divest of the disposal group represented a triggering event requiring the long-lived assets attributable to the disposal group be assessed for impairment. Given the facts and circumstances at the time, Woodward determined that the remaining value of the goodwill of the disposal group was not recoverable, and an $8,640 non-cash impairment charge was recorded during fiscal year 2020. During the nine-months ended June 30, 2021, Woodward determined the economic uncertainty and global disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted sales of all business units. Management concluded the overall economic disruption triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic generated a series of factors to consider relative to possible triggering events. However, management further concluded these factors do not individually or collectively represent triggering events that would indicate it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying amount as of June 30, 2021. Woodward will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on earnings that may impact the carrying value of goodwill and long-lived assets in future periods.
