As a result of the sustained decline in the Company's market capitalization and changes in the Company's long-term projections driven largely by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred that required an interim impairment assessment for all of its reporting units and indefinite lived intangible assets during the first quarter of 2020. The Company determined the fair value of each of its reporting units using a market approach or a combination of a market approach and income approach, as appropriate. Relative to the prior assessment, as part of this current assessment, it was determined that an increase in the discount rate applied i n the valuation was required to align with market-based assumptions and company-specific risk. This higher discount rate, in conjunction with revised long-term projections, resulted in lower fair values of the reporting units. As a result the Company recognized $2,982 million and $98 million of good will impairment for the Macy's and bluemercury reporting units, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended August 1, 2020, which included an additional $10 million impairment adjustment to properly reflect certain income tax considerations during the 13 weeks ended August 1, 2020. As of May 2, 2020, the Company elected to perform a qualitative impairment test on its intangible assets with indefinite lives and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values exceeded the carrying values and the intangible assets with indefinite lives were not impaired. For the Company's annual impairment assessment as of the end of fiscal May, the Company elected to perform a qualitative impairment test on its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives and concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values exceeded the carrying values and goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives were not impaired.
