Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill | Goodwill We had Goodwill of $1.8 billion at March 31, 2020, which includes $1.3 billion related to GM Financial's North America reporting unit. Since December 31, 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to combat the spread of the virus. The pandemic and corresponding measures have caused material disruption to businesses, resulting in an economic slowdown. The unprecedented economic and social uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic indicated that it was more likely than not that a goodwill impairment might exist at March 31, 2020 for GM Financial's North America reporting unit. Therefore, in the three months ended March 31, 2020, we performed an event-driven goodwill impairment test for GM Financial's North America reporting unit and determined no goodwill impairment exists. The fair value of GM Financial's North America reporting unit was determined based on valuation techniques using the best available information, primarily discounted cash flow projections. We make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows. There can be no assurance that anticipated financial results will be achieved. Under multiple scenarios, including fully weighting the downside cash flow scenario, the estimated fair value of GM Financial's North America reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount. Future goodwill impairments could be recognized should economic uncertainty continue thereby resulting in a prolonged economic slowdown and a corresponding decline in the fair value of our reporting units.
