GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES | GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for both the Service Center Based Distribution segment and the Fluid Power Businesses segment for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 are as follows: Service Centers Fluid Power Total Balance at July 1, 2015 $ 253,477 $ 929 $ 254,406 Goodwill acquired during the period 2,316 — 2,316 Other, primarily currency translation (8,142 ) — (8,142 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 247,651 $ 929 $ 248,580 At September 30, 2015 , accumulated goodwill impairment losses, subsequent to fiscal year 2002, totaled $36,605 and related to the Fluid Power Businesses segment. The Company has seven reporting units and performed its annual goodwill impairment assessment as of January 1, 2015. The Company concluded that five of the reporting units had material excesses of fair value compared to their carrying amounts. The Company concluded that two reporting units (Canada service center and Australia / New Zealand) had excess fair value of approximately $39,000 and $4,000 or 15% and 14% , respectively when compared to the carrying amounts of approximately $258,000 and $28,000 , respectively. The techniques used in the Company's impairment test have incorporated a number of assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable and to reflect market conditions forecast at the assessment date. Assumptions in estimating future cash flows are subject to a high degree of judgment. The Company makes all efforts to forecast future cash flows as accurately as possible with the information available at the time the forecast is made. To this end, the Company evaluates the appropriateness of its assumptions as well as its overall forecasts by comparing projected results of upcoming years with actual results of preceding years and validating that differences therein are reasonable. Key assumptions, all of which are Level 3 inputs, relate to pricing trends, inventory costs, discount rate, customer demand, and the long-term growth and foreign exchange rates. A number of benchmarks from independent industry and other economic publications were also used. Changes in future actual results, assumptions and estimates after the assessment date may lead to an outcome where impairment charges would be required in future periods. Specifically, actual results may vary from the Company’s forecasts and such variations may be material and unfavorable, thereby triggering the need for future impairment tests where the conclusions may differ in reflection of prevailing market conditions. The Company’s identifiable intangible assets resulting from business combinations are amortized over their estimated period of benefit and consist of the following: September 30, 2015 Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Finite-Lived Identifiable Intangibles: Customer relationships $ 222,926 $ 69,102 $ 153,824 Trade names 42,529 13,850 28,679 Vendor relationships 14,083 7,295 6,788 Non-competition agreements 4,553 2,136 2,417 Total Identifiable Intangibles $ 284,091 $ 92,383 $ 191,708 June 30, 2015 Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Book Value Finite-Lived Identifiable Intangibles: Customer relationships $ 225,332 $ 65,789 $ 159,543 Trade names 42,689 13,187 29,502 Vendor relationships 14,465 7,258 7,207 Non-competition agreements 4,578 2,002 2,576 Total Identifiable Intangibles $ 287,064 $ 88,236 $ 198,828 Amounts include the impact of foreign currency translation.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2015 , the Company acquired identifiable intangible assets with a preliminary acquisition cost allocation and weighted-average life as follows: Acquisition Cost Allocation Weighted-Average Life Customer relationships $ 3,600 15 Trade names 660 15 Non-competition agreements 132 5 Total Intangibles Acquired $ 4,392 15 Estimated future amortization expense by fiscal year (based on the Company’s identifiable intangible assets as of September 30, 2015 ) for the next five years is as follows: $18,300 for the remainder of 2016 , $22,900 for 2017 , $20,800 for 2018 , $19,200 for 2019 , $17,500 for 2020 and $15,800 for 2021 . A significant portion of our intangible assets relate to recent acquisitions that primarily operate in the oil and gas sectors. Considering the recent downturn in the energy market, a prolonged period of low oil and natural gas prices may result in asset impairments, including potential impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets. |
