Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. GES North America’s goodwill is assigned to, and tested at, the operating segment level (GES U.S. and GES Canada, collectively “GES North America”). GES EMEA’s goodwill is assigned to and tested at the operating segment level.
