5. GOODWILL IMPAIRMENTS

Haynesville Proppant Goodwill Impairment

We perform our annual goodwill impairment test for each of our reporting units in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. In addition to our annual impairment test, we also test goodwill for impairment between annual impairment dates whenever events or circumstances occur which could more likely than not reduce the fair value of one or more reporting units below its carrying value. In 2024, a decline in natural gas prices reduced our customers’ activity levels in the Haynesville Shale, which is heavily concentrated with natural gas wells. This activity downturn significantly reduced the operating results of our Haynesville Proppant reporting unit. In the second quarter of 2024, we noted that our customers’ activity levels were not

expected to significantly recover in the short-term. The reduced operating results of our Haynesville Proppant reporting unit therefore resulted in a triggering event and, accordingly, we performed an interim quantitative impairment test in the second quarter of 2024.

In performing the interim quantitative impairment test, we determined the fair value of our Haynesville Proppant reporting unit using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, the fair value for this reporting unit was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates and assumptions, actual results and discount rates may differ from those assumed in our forecasts.

Based upon the results of our interim quantitative impairment test, we concluded that the carrying value of the Haynesville Proppant reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $67.7 million for the second quarter of 2024, which represented all of the goodwill recorded on the Haynesville Proppant reporting unit.

Permian Proppant and Eagle Ford Proppant Goodwill Impairments

In 2024, we experienced a decline in our operating results for our Permian Proppant reporting unit and our Eagle Ford Proppant reporting unit. In the third quarter of 2024, we noted that our operating results for these reporting units were not expected to significantly recover in the short-term. The reduced operating results for these reporting units resulted in triggering events and, accordingly, we performed interim quantitative impairment tests in the third quarter of 2024.

In performing the interim quantitative impairment tests, we determined the fair value of our Permian Proppant and Eagle Ford Proppant reporting units using a combination of the income approach and the market approach. Under the income approach, the fair values for these reporting units were determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making estimates and assumptions, actual results and discount rates may differ from those assumed in our forecasts.

Based upon the results of our interim quantitative impairment tests, we concluded that the carrying values of the Permian Proppant and Eagle Ford Proppant reporting units exceeded their estimated fair values, which resulted in goodwill impairment charges of $2.4 million and $4.4 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2024, which represented all of the goodwill recorded on these reporting units.
