Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, which is determined through an impairment test. Management performs goodwill impairment testing on an annual basis as of September 30. The fair value of the reporting units is determined using a combination of a discounted cash flow method and a market approach method. Results of the assessment as of September 30, 2022, indicated no goodwill impairment. The Company will continue to monitor its goodwill for possible impairment.
