Goodwill
In the fourth quarter of 2020, we completed a qualitative assessment for impairment of goodwill as of October 1, 2020, concluding it was not more likely than not that the carrying value of the net assets of our reporting units exceeded their respective fair values and therefore no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the amount of goodwill attributable to the Rent-A-Center Business and Preferred Lease segments was approximately $1.5 million and $68.7 million, respectively.
