Interim Impairment Analysis Goodwill is deemed to have an indefinite useful life and is subject to review for impairment annually, or more frequently, if certain events and circumstances indicate potential impairment. We generally perform our annual goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of each year, using balances as of the prior quarter. Events and circumstances that could result in an interim assessment of goodwill and other acquired intangible assets and/or a potential impairment loss include, but are not limited to: (i) significant under-performance of the Real Estate segment relative to historical or projected future operating results; (ii) significant changes in the strategy for the Real Estate segment; (iii) significant negative industry or economic trends; and (iv) a decline in market capitalization below the book value attributable to the Real Estate segment. Due to the rapidly changing social and economic impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. and global economies generally, and in particular on the U.S. housing, real estate and housing finance markets during the first quarter of 2020, we opted to perform an interim quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill and other acquired intangible assets. We first evaluated the recoverability of our other acquired intangible assets, as factors affecting the estimated fair value of our goodwill also affect the estimated recoverability of our other acquired intangible assets. Based on our analysis in the first quarter of 2020, no impairment was indicated for other acquired intangible assets, as the remaining carrying amounts were estimated to be recoverable despite the recent market disruptions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The value of our goodwill and other acquired intangible assets is supported by cash flow projections, which are primarily driven by projected transaction volume and margins. Lower earnings over sustained periods can lead to impairment of goodwill, which could result in a charge to earnings. Given that our goodwill and other acquired intangible assets analysis continues to rely on achieving our projected future cash flows, failure to meet those projections may result in impairment in a future period. Our assumptions related to projected cash flows did not significantly change as a result of the observed market conditions. Based on our quantitative goodwill impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020, we concluded that no impairment of goodwill is indicated.
