In addition to annual impairment testing, which is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions used in determining fair value and therefore would require interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $0 and $530, respectively, for one of our tradenames within the Medical segment. We are not presently aware of any other events or circumstances that would require us to revise the carrying value of our goodwill or other intangible assets as of September 30, 2024.
