⁽¹⁾

The balance at December 31, 2015 includes $2.4 and $5.9 of technology and trademarks, respectively, related to our dry cooling business. As previously noted, the assets and liabilities of the dry cooling business have been classified as “held for sale” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. See Note 3 for information on the assets and liabilities of the dry cooling business as of December 31, 2015.


⁽²⁾	As noted below, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.0 during the three months ended April 2, 2016 related to the trademarks of our SPX Heat Transfer business (“Heat Transfer”).


⁽³⁾	Changes in the gross carrying values of “Other Intangibles, Net” during the three months ended April 2, 2016 related to the sale of our dry cooling business, the impairment charge related to the Heat Transfer trademarks noted above, and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency translation.

At April 2, 2016, the net carrying value of intangible assets with determinable lives consisted of $4.6 in the HVAC segment, $0.3 in the Detection and Measurement segment and $27.9 in the Power segment. At April 2, 2016, trademarks with indefinite lives consisted of $89.3 in the HVAC segment, $11.1 in the Detection and Measurement segment and $14.6 in the Power segment.

We perform our annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter in conjunction with our annual financial planning process, with such testing based primarily on events and circumstances existing as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test goodwill for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indication of impairment has occurred between annual testing dates. Such indication may include: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or the business climate; unanticipated competition; and a more likely than not expectation of selling or disposing all, or a portion, of a reporting unit.

We perform our annual trademarks impairment testing during the fourth quarter, or on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment. The fair values of our trademarks are determined by applying estimated royalty rates to projected revenues, with the resulting cash flows discounted at a rate of return that reflects current market conditions (fair value based on unobservable inputs - Level 3, as defined in Note 15). The primary basis for these projected revenues is the annual operating plan for each of the related businesses, which is prepared in the fourth quarter of each year. Based on our annual impairment testing during the fourth quarter of 2015, the estimated fair value of the trademarks for Heat Transfer was comparable to their carrying value of $9.5. The revenue projections used in the 2015 annual impairment analysis were based on the most recent historical trends for Heat Transfer. More recent trends indicate that Heat Transfer’s revenues for the foreseeable future will be significantly less than the projected amounts included in the 2015 annual analysis. In response to this new information, we performed an impairment analysis of Heat Transfer’s trademarks as of April 2, 2016. Based on such analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $4.0 to our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended April 2, 2016.

In addition to its trademarks, Heat Transfer has definite-lived intangible assets with an aggregate carrying value at April 2, 2016 of $27.9. Although there are no current indications of impairment associated with these assets, further deterioration in Heat Transfer’s financial results could lead to impairment charges in subsequent periods.

No impairment charges were recorded in the first quarter of 2015.
