During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test. The annual goodwill impairment test was performed at the reporting unit level as required by the authoritative guidance as of the Company’s most recent goodwill impairment testing date, December 1, 2019. In accordance with ASC 350-20, “Goodwill”, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for each of its reporting units to determine whether the fair value of any of the reporting units were less than their carrying amounts. The Company determined the fair value of its reporting units in the analysis by following the income approach which uses a discounted cash flow methodology. When using the discounted cash flow methodology, the fair value of each of the reporting units is based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of each of the respective reporting units. The discounted cash flow methodology also requires management to make assumptions about certain key inputs in the estimated cash flows, including long-term sales forecasts or growth rates, terminal growth rates and discount rates, all of which are inherently uncertain. The Company determined that a discount rate of 7% and a terminal growth rate of 2% was appropriate to use in the analysis for all of its reporting units. The forecast of future cash flows was based on historical data and management’s best estimates of sales growth rates and operating margins for each reporting unit for the next five fiscal years. The discount rate used was based on the current weighted-average cost of capital for the Company. As these assumptions are largely unobservable, the estimate of fair value analysis falls within Level

3 of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the results of the quantitative analysis, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units significantly exceeded their respective carrying values. As a result, the Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill existed as of December 1, 2019. In addition, there were no indicators of impairment identified as a result of the Company’s review of events and circumstances related to its goodwill subsequent to December 1, 2019 through February 29, 2020. To date, there have been no impairment losses identified and recorded related to the Company’s goodwill.

While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in its goodwill impairment test and analyses are reasonable, actual events and results could differ substantially from those included in the calculation. In the event that business conditions change in the future, the Company may be required to reassess and update its forecasts and estimates used in subsequent goodwill impairment analyses. Based on the Company’s most recent annual goodwill impairment test, the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values so significantly that an impairment charge to the Company’s goodwill balances is remote, even in the event that the results used within any future analyses are significantly lower than current estimates.
