In July 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan (the “Plan”) to divest certain assets and implement a restructuring program in the CAM division within the Bruker CALID Group. The Plan was developed as a result of management’s conclusion that the CAM business would be unable to achieve acceptable financial performance in the next two years. Please see Note 13 — Other Charges, net, for more details on the Plan. The Company determined the Plan was an indicator requiring the evaluation of the definite-lived intangible assets within that reporting unit for recoverability. The Company had no remaining goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets attributable to the CAM division prior to approval of the Plan. The Company performed a valuation during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and determined that the definite-lived intangible assets within the CAM division were impaired. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to write-off the remaining carrying value of those assets. This impairment charge is included as a component of Other Charges, net in the condensed consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
