9. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

 

Goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level annually and if necessary, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

 

In 2016 we tested goodwill for impairment using a quantitative analysis consisting of a two-step approach. The first step of our quantitative analysis consists of a comparison of the carrying value of our reporting units, including goodwill, to the estimated fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow methodology. If step one results in the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeding the fair value of such reporting unit, we would then proceed to step two which would require us to calculate the amount of impairment loss, if any, that we would record for such reporting unit. In the fourth quarter of 2017 the Company adopted ASU No. 2017–04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” and eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.

 

In 2017, the Company’s annual impairment test resulted in an assessment that the carrying value of its switchgear reporting unit exceeds its fair value. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million to goodwill of the switchgear unit. The operations of the switchgear reporting unit, including goodwill, are currently presented as discontinued operations (see Note 5 – Discontinued Operations).

 

In 2016, Jefferson recorded an impairment of $110 for its technology-related industry accreditation that was no longer in use.
