Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill Disclosure	Note 7: Goodwill We recognize goodwill when the purchase price of an acquired business exceeds the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes. Goodwill is impaired when its carrying value exceeds its implied fair value. We perform our goodwill impairment analysis annually on October 1 or more frequently if an event or circumstance (such as a significant adverse change in the business climate, operating performance metrics, or legal factors) indicates that an impairment may have occurred. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then there is an indication impairment may exist. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we identified factors indicating goodwill may be impaired related to two of our reporting units, ERS and APS. These factors were decreased utilization levels driven by continuing transmission project declines and delays. To derive the fair value of each reporting unit, we utilized the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method, as well as the market approach, which included analysis of comparable publicly-traded companies, to determine the fair value of the reporting units. The income method approach calculates fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting these after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The market approach analyzed how the market values of comparable publicly-traded companies’ operating metrics, such as sales and earnings, compare to each of the respective metrics of the reporting units. These methodologies are consistent with how we estimate the fair value of reporting units during the annual goodwill impairment test. Inputs used to fair value our reporting units are considered “Level 3” inputs of the fair value hierarchy and include the following: •Our projections were based on management's assessment of macroeconomic variables, industry trends and market opportunities, as well as our strategic objectives and future growth plans. Revenue growth rates assumed from approximately 5% to 7% for 2025 and from approximately 3% to 8% for 2026 and beyond. •The discount rate used to measure the present value of the projected future cash flows is set using a weighted-average cost of capital method that considers market and industry data, as well as our specific risk factors that are likely to be considered by a market participant. The weighted-average cost of capital is our estimate of the overall after-tax rate of return required by equity and debt holders of a business enterprise. The discount rates applied to the reporting units ranged from 10.0% to 10.5%. As a result of our fair value calculations, we determined that the fair value of the reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Accordingly, goodwill related to the reporting units was not considered impaired.
