Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis and at an interim date, if indicators of potential impairment exist. The Company voluntarily changed its annual goodwill impairment testing date from October 1st to April 1st to align with a change in timing of the Company’s annual long-term planning process. Accordingly, management determined that the change in accounting principle is preferable under the circumstance. This change has been applied prospectively from April 1, 2022 as retrospective application is deemed impracticable due to the inability to objectively determine the assumptions and significant estimates used in earlier periods without the benefit of hindsight. This change was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it did not delay, accelerate, or avoid any potential goodwill impairment charge. The annual impairment testing performed as of April 1, 2022 did not indicate an impairment of goodwill.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:
