Description of the Matter At December 31, 2022, the Company had $227.2 million of goodwill on its consolidated balance sheet.
2 unchanged sentences
If the Company’s carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be measured as the excess of the carrying value over the calculated fair value.
−Removed: Auditing the Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation required to determine the fair value of the Company’s reporting units.
−Removed: In particular, the fair value estimate of the Company’s Forged Products reporting unit was sensitive to significant assumptions, such as revenue growth, profitability and the weighted-average cost of capital.
−Removed: These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be materially affected by future market or economic conditions.
−Removed: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation process, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions described above.
−Removed: Our audit procedures to test the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units included, among others, evaluating management’s significant assumptions described above and used within the fair value calculation, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data.
−Removed: For example, we evaluated the reasonableness of management’s significant assumptions by analyzing the general economic environment and the economic environment of the Company’s industry.
−Removed: We compared certain significant assumptions to existing market information and, where relevant, to the plans of the Company, including management’s expectations regarding the Company’s business model, customer base, product mix and other relevant factors.
−Removed: We evaluated management’s ability to accurately project future operating results by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
−Removed: Additionally, we performed sensitivity analyses of the significant assumptions to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the reporting units that would result from reasonably expected changes in the significant assumptions.
−Removed: With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the Company’s valuation methodology and significant assumptions.
−Removed: Our procedures, among others, included evaluating the selection of the discount rate by comparing the selected discount rate to the Company’s weighted average cost of capital, testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.
−Removed: Furthermore, we tested management’s annual reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units to the market capitalization of the Company.
−Removed: In addition, we evaluated the impact of changes in management’s forecast from the annual impairment assessment date to December 31, 2021.
+Added: Auditing the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test for the Forged Products reporting unit was complex because the estimation of fair value involves subjective management assumptions, such as revenue growth, profitability and the weighted-average cost of capital, and a complex valuation methodology, such as the discounted cash flow.
+Added: Assumptions used in the Company’s valuation model are forward-looking, and changes in these assumptions can have a material effect on the determination of fair value.
+Added: How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation process, including controls over management’s review of the assumptions described above.
+Added: Our audit procedures to test management’s impairment evaluation of the Forged Products reporting unit included, among others, assessing the valuation methodology and assumptions discussed above, and the underlying data used to develop such assumptions.
+Added: For example, we compared certain assumptions to current industry, market and economic trends.
+Added: Where appropriate, we evaluated whether changes to the Company’s business and other factors would affect the assumptions.
+Added: We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s estimates and performed independent sensitivity analyses.
+Added: We involved our valuation specialists to assist us in evaluating the methodology and auditing the assumptions used to calculate the estimated fair value of the Forged Products reporting unit.
