Previous wording

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the estimated fair value of assets acquired less liabilities assumed in a business acquisition. We have only one reporting unit; therefore, goodwill is assessed at the enterprise level. We review goodwill for impairment annually as of October 1 or more frequently if indicators of impairment are identified. We have the option of first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether events and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount. If the estimated fair value of goodwill exceeds its carrying amount, we consider the goodwill to not be impaired. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its estimated fair value, we use both a comparable market approach and an income approach to test for potential impairment. The market approach follows the guideline public company method to establish valuation multiples for comparison. The income approach follows a traditional discounted cash flow model. Primary assumptions for each approach include revenue projections, operating expenses, discount rate, control premium, and terminal growth rate. Projections are dependent on management assumptions, which are partly based on the Company’s historical experience. The results of these approaches are evaluated against the Company’s market capitalization for reasonableness. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. Application of alternative assumptions and definitions could yield significantly different results. During 2023 and 2022, no impairment of goodwill was indicated.
