Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | 4. Goodwill and I ntangible Assets: During the fourth quarter of 2014, during its annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company concluded that the implied fair value of goodwill for the tubular and pipe products segment was less than its carrying value and a partial goodwill impairment of $23.8 million was recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty associated with goodwill impairment testing and the assumptions and estimates used, actual results could differ materially from these assumptions and estimates. Although management believes the assumptions used in testing the Company’s reporting units’ goodwill for impairment were reasonable, it is possible that market and economic conditions could deteriorate further or not improve as expected. Additional declines in or a lack of recovery in market conditions from current levels, weaker than anticipated Company financial performance, or an increase in the market-based weighted average cost of capital, among other factors, could significantly impact the impairment analysis and may result in further goodwill impairment charges that, if incurred, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. A 1% change to the weighted average cost of capital would impact the goodwill impairment by $16 million to $17 million and a 1% change in the terminal growth rate would impact the goodwill impairment by $10 million to $13 million.
Goodwill, by reportable segment, was as follows as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
