Goodwill [Abstract] |
Goodwill | (4) Goodwill The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1. During the second quarter of 2014, however, indicators of potential impairment for its majority owned subsidiary, PST Eletrônica Ltda. (“PST”) required the Company to conduct an interim impairment test. Those indicators included a decline in recent operating results and lower growth expectations primarily due to the weakening of the Brazilian economy and automotive market. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company completed “step one” of the impairment analysis and concluded that, as of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the PST reportable segment was below its carrying value, including goodwill. In “step one” the Company used an income approach to estimate the fair value of PST. The income approach used a discounted cash flow valuation technique which incorporated the Company's projected future estimates of after-tax cash flows attributable to its future growth rates, terminal value amounts and the weighted average cost of capital. As a result, “step two” of the impairment test was initiated in accordance with ASC 350. Due to its time intensive nature, the “step two” analysis was not completed until the third quarter ended September 30, 2014. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company recorded its best estimate of $29,300 as a non-cash goodwill impairment charge (of which $6,436 was attributable to noncontrolling interest) as of June 30, 2014, which was included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Based on the Company’s completed “step two” analysis in the third quarter of 2014, the final goodwill impairment as of June 30, 2014 was $23,498 (of which $5,162 was attributable to noncontrolling interest). As such, the Company recorded an adjustment to reduce the goodwill impairment by $5,802 (of which $1,274 was attributable to noncontrolling interest) as of September 30, 2014 which was included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The “step two” of the PST goodwill impairment test used the following methodologies in determining fair value. Buildings and machinery were valued at an estimated replacement cost for an asset of comparable age and condition. PST finite lived identified intangible assets are customer relationships, tradenames and technology. Customer relationships were valued using an excess earnings method, using various inputs such as the estimated customer attrition rate, future earnings forecast, the amount of contributory asset charges, and a discount rate. Tradenames and technology intangibles are valued using a relief from royalty method, which is based upon comparable market royalty rates for tradenames of similar value. Other working capital items are generally recorded at carrying value, unless there were known conditions that would impact the ultimate settlement amount of a particular item. As a result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter of 2014, the remaining PST goodwill balance was written-off due to significantly lower sales and earnings growth expectations which were primarily a result of lower forecasted growth in the Brazilian economy and automotive market. The fair value measurement of the reporting unit under the “step one” analysis and the “step two” analysis (a non-recurring fair value measure) in their entirety are classified as Level 3 inputs. The estimates and assumptions underlying the fair value calculations used in the Company's impairment test are uncertain by their nature and can vary significantly from actual results. Factors that management must estimate include, but are not limited to, industry and market conditions, sales volume and pricing, raw material costs, capital expenditures, working capital changes, cost of capital, debt-equity mix and tax rates. The estimates and assumptions that most significantly affect the fair value calculation are sales volume and the associated cash flow assumptions, market growth and weighted average cost of capital. The estimates and assumptions used in the estimate of fair value were consistent with those the Company uses in its internal planning. The carrying amount of goodwill related to our Electronics segment decreased by $78 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 to $1,000 due to foreign currency translation.
The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was as follows:
|  | Electronics |  | PST |  | Total
Balance at January 1, 2014 | $ | 604 | $ | 53,744 | $ | 54,348
Acquisition of business |  | 664 |  | - |  | 664
Goodwill impairment charge |  | - |  | (23,498) |  | (23,498)
Currency translation |  | (124) |  | (69) |  | (193)
Balance at September 30, 2014 | $ | 1,144 | $ | 30,177 | $ | 31,321
