BREAKING DOWN 'Write-Down'
Write-downs can have a huge impact on a company’s net income and balance sheet. During the financial crisis, the drop in the market value of assets on the balance sheets of financial institutions forced them to raise capital to meet minimum capital obligations.
Accounts that are most likely to be written down are a company's goodwill, accounts receivable and long-term assets like property, plant and equipment. Write-downs are common in businesses that produce or sell goods have lots of inventory that can become damaged or unsalable. For example, technology and automobile inventories can lose value rapidly, if they go unsold or new updated models replace them.
Property, plant and equipment may become impaired because it has become obsolete, damaged beyond repair or property prices have fallen below the historical cost. In the service sector, companies may write down the value of stores if they no longer serve their purpose and need to be revamped.
Before 2002, goodwill was amortized over 40 years, much the way a piece of equipment might be depreciated over its useful life. But under new generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) rules for the measurement and disclosure of fair value, goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over a period not to exceed 10 years, and must be written down at any time if its value declines — for example, if it turns out that a company has overpaid for an acquisition.
In November 2012, Hewlett-Packard announced a massive $8.8 billion impairment charge to write down a botched acquisition of U.K.-based Autonomy Corporation PLC – which represented a huge loss in shareholder value since the company was worth only a fraction of its earlier estimated value
