Orica recognised the following 968.1 1,022.6 935.8 impairments: 929.7 689.4 (i) Following management's review of the business structure, the Ground Support business was re-established during August 2015 as a separate business and reportable segment to give it greater focus, to better assess its performance and provide 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 greater optionality for its future. The 2015 operating results for this segment were down on prior periods due to weak volumes, NPAT $m particularly into global coal markets, and lower pricing in the USA. Goodwill in relation to Ground Support has been allocated to a separate segment. It therefore no longer benefits from the 650.2 available headroom within its previously allocated regional 618.8 602.5 Mining Services segment. As a result of the change in business 592.5 structure and continued downturn, the carrying value of the goodwill and other identifiable assets in Ground Support are no longer supported and have therefore been impaired. 424.2 (ii) Certain AN assets have been impaired due to a combination of 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 factors.
