BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
2020 Business Combinations Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we completed no new acquisitions and paid $47.7 million for deferred business acquisition and earn-out obligations for acquisitions completed in prior years.
2019 Business Combination Activity
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we made no adjustments to our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration for certain acquisitions completed in 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we have completed our analysis to assign fair values to all the identifiable intangible and tangible assets acquired for our 2019 acquisitions.

Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, we anticipate making these earn-out payments over the next five years. Refer to Note 8, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 11, Restructuring and Acquisition Charges, for additional discussion of our earn-out liabilities.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and unamortized intangibles as of June 30, 2020 consisted of: (1) goodwill of $4,120.9 million, (2) identifiable intangibles of $602.9 million amortized over their remaining finite useful lives, and (3) $50.0 million of identifiable intangibles with indefinite useful lives that are not amortized. Notable portions of our goodwill and unamortized intangibles are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which means a portion of the movements in the reported book value of these balances is attributable to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.
In addition to our annual impairment evaluation, we periodically evaluate whether events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit(s) may be impaired ("triggering event"). During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we determined our EMEA reporting unit had a triggering event which required us to determine if it was not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, we performed step 1 of the goodwill impairment analysis which indicated the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value by over 30%. In performing step 1, we relied on the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method, an income approach, in determining the estimated fair value. Our DCF analysis relied on significant judgments and assumptions in determining the inputs, specifically, forecasted revenue growth, forecasted profitability margin, and the discount rate used to present value the cash flows.
The following tables detail, by reporting segment, movements in goodwill.
