The Company completes its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible
 
asset impairment test during the fourth quarter of
each year, or more frequently if triggering
 
events indicate a possible impairment.
 
The Company continually evaluates financial
performance, economic conditions and other recent developments in
 
assessing if a triggering event indicates that the carrying values
of goodwill, indefinite-lived, or long-lived assets are impaired.
 
The Company continues to monitor various financial, economic and
geopolitical conditions impacting the Company,
 
including the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the Company’s
 
decision to cease
operations in Russia, continued raw material cost escalation, supply chain
 
constraints and disruptions, as well as rising interest rates
and the cost of capital among other factors.
 
The Company concluded that these and other factors, which have and continue to
 
impact
the Company, did not
 
represent a triggering event during the third quarter of 2022, except for
 
the Company’s EMEA reporting unit
and the associated goodwill, as well as the related asset group.
 
The Company concluded that during the third quarter of 2022 the
escalation of these events adversely impacted EMEA’s
 
financial performance and represented a triggering event.
As a result of this conclusion, the Company completed an interim impairment
 
assessment for its EMEA reporting unit, as well as
the related asset group, during the third quarter of 2022.
 
The Company concluded that the undiscounted cash flows exceeded the
carrying value of the long-lived assets, and it is not more likely than not that
 
an impairment exists.
 
In completing a quantitative
goodwill impairment test, the Company compares the reporting unit
 
’s fair value, primarily based on future
 
discounted cash flows, to
its carrying value in order to determine if an impairment charge is warranted.
 
The estimates of future discounted cash flows involve
considerable management judgment and are based upon certain significant
 
assumptions including the weighted average cost of capital
as well as projected EBITDA, which includes assumptions related to revenue
 
growth rates, gross margin levels and operating
expenses.
 
As a result of this interim impairment assessment,
the estimated fair value of the EMEA reporting unit exceeded its
carrying value by approximately
22
% and the Company concluded no impairment was warranted.
Notwithstanding the results of the Company’s
 
interim impairment assessment, if the Company is unable to successfully
implement selling price increases aimed at more than offsetting
 
raw material costs and ongoing inflationary pressures and the financial
performance of the EMEA reporting unit declines further,
 
or interest rates continue to rise and this leads to an increase in the cost of
capital,
 
then it is possible these financial, economic and geopolitical conditions could
 
result in another triggering event for the EMEA
reporting unit in the future and could lead to a potential impairment
 
.
 
In addition, if any of these financial, economic or geopolitical
conditions has a more significant adverse effect on the Company,
 
these could lead to a potential impairment of the Company’s
goodwill or other indefinite-lived or long-lived assets.
