GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis at a minimum (December 1st of each year) or when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  In the third quarter of 2018, a goodwill impairment charge of $46.8 million ($38.2 million after taxes) was recognized in PE Films, which represented the entire amount of goodwill associated with the Personal Care component. The operations of PE Films have been adversely impacted by a significant customer product transition in the Personal Care component of PE Films. Based on an evaluation of projections under various business planning scenarios, the Company concluded that the value of the Personal Care component of PE Films was less than the carrying value of underlying working capital and long-lived net assets.
