As discussed in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”, beginning in the first quarter of 2021, the Company moved a reporting unit within the Powertrain segment to the Ride Performance segment and Ride Performance was renamed Performance Solutions. Refer to Note 16, “Segment Information” for further information.

The following table shows a summary of the number of reporting units with a net carrying value of goodwill in each segment at March 31, 2021 and whether or not the reporting unit’s fair value exceeds its carrying value by more or less than 25% based on each respective reporting units most recent goodwill impairment analysis:


	Segments
	Motorparts		Performance Solutions		Clean Air
Number of reporting units with goodwill	1		2		3

Number of reporting units where fair value exceeds carrying value:
Greater than 25%	1		1		3
Less than 25%	—		1		—

Goodwill for reporting units where fair value exceeds carrying value:

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair values of certain of its reporting units and its indefinite-lived intangible assets had declined below their carrying values as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 global pandemic on the Company’s projected financial information. The Company completed a goodwill impairment analysis for four of its reporting units with goodwill in the Motorparts, Performance Solutions, and Powertrain segments. The difference between the reporting units’ carrying values and fair values were recognized as impairment charges. The Company recognized $267 million in non-cash impairment charges related to its goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represented full impairments of the goodwill in one reporting unit in the Performance Solutions segment and one reporting unit in the Powertrain segment, and partial impairments of goodwill in one reporting unit in the Motorparts segment and one reporting unit in the Performance Solutions segment.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company also completed an analysis to determine the fair value of its trade names and trademarks for its reporting units in the Motorparts and Performance Solutions segments. It was determined that their carrying values exceeded their fair values and the Company recognized $51 million in non-cash impairment charges related to these indefinite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represented a full impairment of the trade names and trademarks in one of the reporting units in the Motorparts segment, and a partial impairment of the trade names and trademarks in one of the reporting units in the Performance Solutions segment and one of the reporting units in the Motorparts segment.

As discussed in more detail in Note 4, “Restructuring Charges, Net and Asset Impairments”, the Company concluded impairment triggers had occurred during the first quarter of 2020 for certain long-lived asset groups within the Performance Solutions segment. As a result, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $65 million related to its definite-lived intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2020, which represented full impairments of the definite-lived intangible assets in two reporting units.

Impairment charges for goodwill and intangible assets recognized by segment during the three months ended March 31, 2020 consist of the following:
