Goodwill and Potential Impairment
1 unchanged sentence
Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, goodwill of a reporting unit shall be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
−Removed: During the six months ended June 30, 2020 , we have identified two significant events that adversely affected the global economy and the oil and gas industry.
−Removed: These two events are the COVID-19 Pandemic and the OPEC Production Disputes (previously defined), both of which had the secondary effect of impacting prices of crude oil and refined products as well as supply and demand for crude oil and refined products, and triggered several identified uncertainties, as discussed in the 'Business Overview' section of Management's Discussion and Analysis.
−Removed: Our assessment was performed based on the events that had occurred through June 30, 2020 and excluded developments that occurred in the subsequent period, including but not limited to government-imposed temporary business closures and voluntary shelter-at-home directives as well as developments in production discussions between global oil producers, and the effect thereof.
−Removed: In order to determine whether these events, including the developments around such events that had occurred through June 30, 2020 and our assumptions about future periods based on those events and related developments, would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, we performed certain analyses on the most significant inputs in our valuation model to evaluate the impact of these events on the fair value of our reporting units.
−Removed: This included sensitivity analysis and stress testing on certain of our inputs to our valuation model, including the weighted-average cost of capital, the throughput volume, and the crack spread, which is based on the crude and refined product markets.
−Removed: Based on our analyses, we determined that there is not an indicator that fair value is more likely than not to have declined below carrying value as of June 30, 2020.
−Removed: Additionally, because conditions and events are rapidly changing, we continue to monitor developments with these events and their impact on our valuation.
−Removed: However, there is uncertainty in and around the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the OPEC Production Disputes that have not yet occurred or for existing conditions and events that may have future ramifications that cannot yet be anticipated.
−Removed: Continued or sustained adverse change to these factors may result in potential future impairment of some or all of our goodwill balance.
+Added: In our assessment of the potential indicators of impairment, we considered the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the significant decline in our stock price.
+Added: We noted a decline in our stock price, which resulted in a decline in our market capitalization since June 30, 2020.
+Added: To determine whether the decline in market capitalization and other negative developments arising due to the Pandemic that occurred through September 30, 2020, would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount, we performed certain analyses on the most significant inputs in our valuation model to evaluate the impact of these events on the fair value of our reporting units.
+Added: Based on our initial qualitative analysis, we noted that the refining segment was most at risk for potential impairment.
+Added: Therefore, we performed extensive additional sensitivity analysis and stress testing on certain of the key assumptions our valuation model.
+Added: Based on our analyses, we determined that there was sufficient risk present associated with both our Big Spring refinery (“BSR”) and Krotz Springs refinery (“KSR”) reporting units to indicate that the fair values of those reporting units were more likely than not to have declined below the carrying value as of September 30, 2020.
+Added: Accordingly, we updated our estimates of fair value for the BSR and KSR reporting units as of September 30, 2020, using updated inputs and assumptions based on third party data where available.
+Added: The estimated fair values of the reporting units were determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow ("DCF") analysis and a market approach.
+Added: The DCF analysis was based on our current projection of cash flows which reflected our updated estimates for long-term growth rates, gross margin, capital expenditures and the Weighted Average Cost of Capital or "WACC", which we adjusted to reflect the uncertainties that exist in the market as a result of the Pandemic.
+Added: For the market approach, we applied an average historical multiple for guideline companies to estimated income before taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization.
+Added: Our analysis included a reconciliation of the estimated fair value of all reporting units to the company’s market capitalization.
+Added: Based on these quantitative analyses, we concluded that the goodwill balances attributed to the BSR and KSR reporting unit were not impaired as of September 30, 2020.
+Added: The fair value measurements for the individual reporting units’ estimated fair values represent Level 3 measurements.
+Added: We performed a sensitivity analysis on our impairment test as of September 30, 2020, noting the following:
+Added: Total Goodwill Balance at September 30, 2020 % Estimated Fair Value exceeds Carrying Value Increase in WACC that could cause impairment (1)
+Added: Decrease in long-term growth rate that could cause impairment (1)
+Added: BSR $528.0 < 10% 0.5%-1.0% 1%
+Added: KSR 237.2 <10% 1.0%-1.5% 1%
+Added: (1) Assumes no other changes in any of the key assumptions.
+Added: Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors.
+Added: As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the interim goodwill impairment test will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future.
+Added: Our assessment was performed based on events that had occurred and conditions that existed as of September 30, 2020.
+Added: Because conditions and events are rapidly changing, we continue to monitor developments with these events and their impact on our valuation.
+Added: Continued or worsening adverse changes to these factors, as well as their impact on our cash flows, market capitalization and other assumptions and inputs, may result in the need to recognize an impairment in future periods.
+Added: Specifically with respect to the BSR and KSR reporting units, it is at least reasonably possible that continued or worsening adverse change to these factors, or the presence of new factors having a negative impact on our projection of future cash flows not known as of September 30, 2020, may result in a future impairment which could be material.
+Added: We will perform our annual goodwill assessment during the fourth quarter.
Other than as described above, for all financial statement periods presented, there have been no material modifications to the application of these critical accounting policies or estimates since our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
