GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS [Abstract] |
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS | NOTE 8 - GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS In connection with the acquisitions of B27 on January 2, 2014 and NatPro on April 16, 2013, DXP allocated $259.4 million and $37.6 million, respectively, to goodwill and other intangibles. The goodwill and other intangibles were allocated into four separate reporting units, B27 Service Centers, B27 IPS, NatPro Service Centers and NatPro IPS. B27 Service Centers, B27 IPS and NatPro IPS recorded impairment losses during the fourth quarter of 2014. During the fourth quarter of 2014, DXP performed its annual goodwill impairment test at its B27 IPS reporting unit and recognized impairment expense of $95.1 million. This impairment loss is included in the “Impairment expense” line item on the income statement. In performing the goodwill impairment test, Step 1 of the test failed as the fair value of the reporting unit no longer exceeded its carrying amount primarily due to actual revenues being lower than revenues forecasted as of the date of acquisition and the decline in oil prices during the third quarter of 2014. Fair value was based on expected future cash flow using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by market participants, discounted at a rate of return market participants would expect. In Step 2, goodwill with a carrying amount of $148.0 million was determined to have an implied fair value of $52.9 million after the hypothetical purchase price allocation under US GAAP guidance for business combinations. Approximately 60% of the goodwill associated with the B27 acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Accordingly, the financial statement tax benefit is calculated for only 40% of the goodwill impairment. The pretax impairment impacted DXP’s effective tax rate for 2014. B27 IPS is reported in the IPS reportable segment. During the fourth quarter of 2014, DXP performed its annual goodwill impairment test at its NatPro IPS reporting unit and recognized impairment expense of $12.3 million consisting of goodwill. Fair value was based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by the market participants, discounted at a rate of return market participants would expect. Goodwill was determined to have an implied fair value of zero after the hypothetical purchase price allocation under US GAAP guidance for business combinations. This impairment loss is included in the "Impairment expense" line item on the income statement. None of the goodwill associated with the NatPro acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. The pretax goodwill impairment impacted DXP's effective tax rate for 2014. NatPro IPS is reported in the IPS reportable segment. During the fourth quarter of 2014, DXP performed its annual goodwill impairment test at its B27 Service Centers reporting unit and recognized a goodwill impairment expense of $10.2 million. This impairment loss is included in the “Impairment expense” line item on the income statement. In performing the goodwill impairment test, Step 1 of the test failed as the fair value of the reporting unit no longer exceeded its carrying amount primarily due to actual revenues being lower than revenues forecasted as of the date of acquisition and the decline in oil prices during the third quarter of 2014. Fair value was based on expected future cash flow using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820. The cash flows are those expected to be generated by market participants, discounted at a rate of return market participants would expect. In Step 2, goodwill was determined to have an implied fair value of $20.1 million after the hypothetical purchase price allocation under USGAAP guidance for business combinations. Approximately 60% of the goodwill associated with the B27 acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes. Accordingly, the financial statement tax benefit is calculated for only 40% of the impairment. The pretax impairment impacted DXP’s effective tax rate for 2014. B27 Service Centers is reported in the Service Centers reportable segment.
