Impairment of Goodwill

Goodwill recorded in connection with the March 9, 2020, acquisition of CJWS totaled $18.9 million and was recorded as part of our Well Servicing and Water Logistics reporting units. Beginning in March 2020, we experienced a reduction in demand for our services due to the significantly decreased price of crude oil as a result of multiple significant factors impacting supply and demand in the global oil and natural gas markets, including a global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus and the announced price reductions and possible production increases by members of OPEC and other oil exporting nations. For further discussion of these factors that occurred subsequent to our March 9, 2020 acquisition of CJWS, see Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations - COVID-19 and Commodity Price Collapse Impact on Liquidity; Going Concern. As a result, as of March 31, 2020, we updated our internal long-term outlook for each of these reporting units, and determined that the current decreased energy industry outlook was an indicator requiring further analysis for impairment of goodwill and that it was more likely than not that the fair value of certain reporting units were less than their carrying value. Therefore, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test.

As part of the first step of goodwill impairment testing, we updated our assessment of future cash flows, using historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and applying expected long-term growth rates, discount rates, and terminal values that we considered reasonable for each reporting unit. We calculated a present value of the cash flows to arrive at an estimate of fair value using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. The income approach estimates the fair value by discounting each reporting unit's estimated future cash flows using an estimate of the discount rate, or expected return, that a marketplace participant would have required as of the valuation date. The market approach includes the use of comparative multiples to corroborate the discounted cash flow approach. The market approach involves significant judgement in the selection of the appropriate peer group companies and valuation multiples. Based on these key assumptions,

we determined that the fair value of the Well Servicing reporting unit was less than its carrying values indicating an impairment of the $10.6 million of goodwill recorded for this reporting unit. As its expected long-term cash flows associated with services performed for producing wells was not as significantly impacted by the current market conditions, the fair value of the Water Logistics reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value and therefore resulted in no impairment. The amount of impairment is calculated based on the difference between the fair value and carrying value in accordance with ASC 350 "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other" and including the impact of Accounting Standards Update 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment."

Impairments of Other Assets

In addition, the March 2020 reduction in demand for our services for each of our businesses was an indicator that certain long-lived tangible and identified intangible assets may be impaired. Recoverability testing performed at the total segment asset group level (the lowest level of discrete and identifiable cash flows) as of March 31, 2020, using a probability weighted estimate of undiscounted future cash flows using expected long-term growth rates indicated that for our Well Servicing and Completion & Remedial Services segments, certain long-lived assets, within the overall reporting unit, were not recoverable. For these segments, estimated fair values using an income approach were calculated by discounting each segment's probability weighted estimated future cash flows using an estimate of the discount rate and terminal values. The estimated fair value of Well Servicing segment assets was determined to be below their carrying value and as a result, as of September 30, 2020, we recorded impairments of property and equipment assets totaling $86.0 million and impairments of component parts inventory assets totaling $4.8 million associated with our Well Servicing segment. The difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its indicated fair value was recorded as an impairment. The estimated fair value of our Completion & Remedial Services segment exceeded its carrying value, resulting in no impairment of this segment. A recoverability analysis was also performed on the long-lived assets of the Water & Logistics segment along with identified intangible assets, and we concluded that the carrying value for these assets were recoverable from estimated future cash flows.
