Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if events or changes in circumstances indicate there may be impairment. For 2016, the Company used the qualitative assessment option or step zero process. Using this process, the Company first assessed whether it was “more likely than not” that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. The Company conducted a qualitative assessment of each reporting unit’s fair value, or step zero process, as of August 31, 2016. As part of the Company’s qualitative assessment, EVERTEC considered the results of the Company’s 2015 impairment test (which indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit was in excess of it carrying amount by 120.9%—145.5%) as well as current market conditions and changes in the carrying amount of the Company’s reporting units that occurred subsequent to the 2015 impairment test. Based on the results of this qualitative assessment, EVERTEC believes the fair value of goodwill for each of the Company’s reporting units continues to exceed their respective carrying amounts and concluded that it was not necessary to conduct the two-step goodwill impairment test. There were no triggering events or changes in circumstances that, subsequent to the impairment test, would have required an additional impairment evaluation. No impairment losses were recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016.

The carrying amount of other intangible assets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows:
