Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill | NOTE 5. GOODWILL Goodwill balances by business segment at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were:
DOLLARS IN MILLIONS |  | 2015 |  | 2014
Property & Casualty Insurance |  | 103.6 |  |  | 92.4 |
Life & Health Insurance |  | 219.4 |  |  | 219.4 |
Total |  | $ | 323.0 |  |  | $ | 311.8 |
The Company tests goodwill for recoverability on an annual basis at the beginning of the first quarter and, if circumstances or events indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may have declined below its carrying value, such tests are performed at intervening interim periods. The Company principally used projections of discounted future cash flows to estimate the fair values of the reporting units tested. For each reporting unit tested, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit, and the Company concluded that the associated goodwill was recoverable at the aforementioned dates tested. Goodwill in the Property & Casualty Insurance segment increased by $11.2 million due to the acquisition of Alliance United. See Note 3, “Acquisition of Business” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information pertaining to the acquisition of Alliance United.
