(a) The changes to goodwill primarily relate to the acquisition of ESOL in the Harsco Clean Earth Segment, See note 3, Acquisitions and Dispositions, and an immaterial acquisitions in the Harsco Environmental Segment. The Company tests for goodwill impairment annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist, or if a decision is made to dispose of a business. The Company performs the annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitors for triggering events on an ongoing basis. The Company determined that, as of June 30, 2020, no interim goodwill impairment testing was necessary. The Company has concluded that no triggering event occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, a prolonged economic downturn resulting from COVID-19 could impact the Company's future projected cash flows used to estimate fair value, and/or result in a sustained decrease in the Company’s share price, which could indicate an impairment.
