Chemours consists of three operating segments: Fluoroproducts, Chemical Solutions, and Titanium Technologies. The Company defines its reporting units as one level below these operating segments, with the exception of the Titanium Technologies segment, which is both an operating segment and a reporting unit. The Company tested the goodwill balances attributable to each of its reporting units for potential impairment on October 1, 2019 and 2018, the dates of Chemours’ annual goodwill assessment, and concluded that $4 of goodwill associated with the Performance Chemicals and Intermediates reporting unit in the Chemical Solutions segment was impaired at October 1, 2018. No further goodwill impairments were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, as the fair values of the Company’s other reporting units that carry goodwill exceeded each respective reporting unit’s carrying amount on October 1, 2019 and 2018. The total accumulated impairment losses included in the Company’s goodwill balance at December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $4.
