Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

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 2018, the Company determined certain definite lived intangible assets within the switchgear reporting unit had carrying values that exceeded its fair value. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges of $870, $377 and $103 against technology-related industry accreditation, customer relationships and non-complete agreements, respectively.

Prior to 2017, the Company tested goodwill for impairment using a quantitative analysis consisting of a two-step approach. The first step of our quantitative analysis consisted 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.

As of the measurement date October 1, 2018, dry type transformers and critical power reporting units had negative carrying values. The Company allocated $5.6 million and $3.0 million of goodwill to dry type and critical power reporting units, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.4 million to the remaining goodwill of the switchgear reporting unit in 2017, which is included within the T&D Solutions Segment. The Company recorded no impairment to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2018.
