Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill And Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Test | GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS IMPAIRMENT TEST Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis. In March 2012, the Company adopted ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU 2011-08 simplifies goodwill impairment testing by adding a qualitative review step to assess whether a quantitative impairment analysis is necessary. Under the amended rule, a company will not be required to calculate the fair value of a business that contains recorded goodwill unless it concludes, based on the qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of that business is less than its carrying value. The Company completed the required annual impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets was required. The Company qualitatively assessed its goodwill and concluded that it was more likely than not that fair value of its reporting units was greater than their carrying value, and as such, the Company was not required to calculate the fair value of its reporting units. The following tables summarize the activity related to goodwill and other intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2012 (in thousands):
