Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the cost of an acquisition in excess of the fair values assigned to identifiable net assets acquired. On September 27, 2013, the Company recorded Goodwill of $337.6 million as part of the HomeLink® acquisition. As of December 31, 2013, the Company adjusted recorded Goodwill to $307.4 million resulting from refinement of the purchase accounting estimates, based on updated valuations of tangible and intangible assets acquired as part of the HomeLink® acquisition, which the Company finalized the purchase accounting estimates in the first quarter of 2014. The amount of Goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes is $307.4 million. The carrying value of Goodwill as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 was $307.4 million. In addition to annual impairment testing, which was performed in the fourth quarter of 2014 and indicated that the estimated fair value of the Automotive reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying amount including goodwill, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions in determining fair value thus resulting in the need for interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macro-economic conditions. No such events or circumstances in the most recently completed quarter indicated the need for interim impairment testing. The patents and intangible assets and related change in carrying values are set forth in the table belows: As of March 31, 2015:
