Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, net, page 15
1.We note your disclosure that, due to general market declines driven by the coronavirus
global pandemic, you performed impairment testing on your goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets. In both cases, you determined that the fair values of these assets
exceeded their carrying value.
In order to provide investors with information to better assess the probability of future
goodwill impairment charges, please disclose, if accurate, that the estimated fair values of
the intangible assets you quantitatively tested for impairment substantially exceeded their
carrying values. For any asset whose estimated fair value did not substantially exceed its
carrying value, please disclose the percentage by which fair value exceeded carrying value
at the date of the most recent test.
