Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized and are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter of each year and more often if an event occurs or circumstances change which indicate it is more-likely-than-not that fair value is less than carrying amount. Goodwill As a result of the macroeconomic decline due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic, the Company quantitatively tested the goodwill associated with its reporting units for impairment as of March 31, 2020. Under the quantitative approach, the Company estimated the fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to its carrying amount. The fair values of the reporting units were determined using the income approach, which discounts projected cash flows using market participant assumptions. The income approach included significant assumptions including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue, operating profit margins, operating expenses, cash flows, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates. In developing these assumptions, the Company relied on various factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, and other market data. Based on the results of the tests, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment losses associated with its reporting units. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the assumptions made in connection with the Company’s goodwill impairment assessments could be impacted in the future as a result of the evolving and uncertain nature of economic conditions. As a result, the Company’s reporting units are considered at risk of future impairment. If the Company’s assumptions are not realized, or if there are changes in any of the assumptions in the future due to a change in economic conditions, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future.
