Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] |
Note 8. Goodwill and Intangible AssetsThe Company recognized goodwill and certain intangible assets in connection with business combinations (see Note 4 - Business Combinations). The following table summarizes the composition of intangible assets at October 31, 2019 for the Successor and at October 31, 2018 for the Predecessor:
Amortization expense for the Successor period from December 6, 2018 to October 31, 2019 was $32.4 million. Amortization expense for the Predecessor period from November 1, 2018 to December 5, 2018 and for the twelve -month period ended October 31, 2018 was $0.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets over the next five fiscal years ending October 31 and thereafter is as follows:
The changes in the carrying value of goodwill by reportable segment for the quarter ended October 31, 2019 are as follows:
As discussed in Note 4 – Business Combinations, the Company recorded an out of period adjustment related to the reduction of sales tax accrual of $3.4 not considered material to the Company's previously issued financial statements.The Company assesses potential impairment of our goodwill at least annually, generally as of August 31
st . However, as a result of our stock price declining substantially during the fiscal 2019 third quarter, the Company concluded this qualified as a triggering event and thus performed a step one goodwill impairment analysis as of July 31, 2019. The results of this test indicated no impairment. The fair value of our U.S. Concrete Pumping, U.K. Operations and U.S. Concrete Waste Management Services reporting units exceeded their July 31, 2019 carrying values by approximately 4%, 3% and 4%, respectively. Given the short period of time that has passed since goodwill was recorded on the Company’s balance sheet, primarily resulting from the Business Combination and Capital acquisition, the fair values of these reporting units are largely in-line with their carrying values.Due to the quantitative test performed as of
July 31, 2019, a quantitative test on our annual testing date of August 31, 2019 was not considered necessary. Instead, the Company performed a qualitative analysis as of October 31, 2019 and concluded no impairment indicators were present. |
