Questions, answered.
- What does distribution storage — goodwill and intangible asset impairment mean?
- This represents a non-cash charge taken when the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Distribution & Storage segment exceeds their fair market value. It indicates that the economic benefits expected from past acquisitions in this segment have diminished. This is a critical indicator of potential overpayment for previous acquisitions or deteriorating market conditions.
