Other Assets and Investments | Note 12. Other Assets and Investments Dividends received from our consolidated subsidiaries were $155 million, $43 million and $608 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Dividends received in 2020 were primarily from Singapore, Peru and Brazil and paid to the United States. Dividends received in 2019 were primarily from Singapore and Brazil and paid to the United States. Dividends received in 2018 were primarily from Singapore and Japan and paid to the United States. Dividends received from our affiliates accounted for using the equity method were $5 million, $4 million and $5 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Investment in TireHub The carrying value of our investment in TireHub was $77 million and $262 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was included in Other Assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, we have an outstanding loan receivable from TireHub of $14 million as of December 31, 2020, which is also included in Other Assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our investment in TireHub is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, as such, includes our 50% share of the net losses of TireHub, which totaled $36 million, $33 million and $15 million in 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We regularly review our investment in TireHub for potential impairment and will recognize an impairment charge if the estimated fair value of our investment declines below its recorded amount and such decline is determined to be other-than temporary. The most critical assumptions used in our discounted cash flow model for estimating the fair value of our investment are forecasted tire volume for TireHub, including the extent and duration of, as well as the timing of the recovery from, the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the discount rate. Our TireHub joint venture was initially formed during the second quarter of 2018 and, as previously disclosed, its net losses included higher than expected start-up expenses and additional costs incurred to build out TireHub’s distribution footprint for future growth. These additional costs as well as TireHub’s net losses were expected to be temporary and moderate in 2020. However, higher than expected net losses for TireHub continued into 2020, driven by the severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, we evaluated our investment and concluded that there had been an other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of our investment during the second quarter of 2020. As such, we conducted an impairment assessment and estimated the fair value of our investment utilizing updated forecasts of TireHub’s volume, revised expectations as to the extent and duration of, as well as the timing of the recovery from, the COVID-19 pandemic, and an updated discount rate reflective of current market conditions at that time. As a result, during the second quarter of 2020, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $148 million. During the second half of 2020, we concluded that there was no additional other-than-temporary decline in the fair value of our investment in TireHub. Nonetheless, there remains a high degree of uncertainty as to the extent and duration of, as well as timing of the recovery from, the COVID-19 pandemic. If we make future adverse revisions to these or our other significant assumptions, including as a result of business performance or market conditions, we may need to record an additional material, non-cash impairment charge in a future period. Other Assets Other Assets at December 31, 2020 included a $30 million trade receivable from a customer that was refinanced into a collateral-backed note receivable in the second quarter of 2020.
