Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and in interim periods if certain events occur that indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit may be below its carrying value. Determining the number of reporting units and the fair value of a reporting unit requires the Company to make judgments and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions.
On August 15, 2019, the Company completed the sale of Baycorp. The Company concluded that the fair value of Baycorp immediately prior to the Baycorp Transaction was less than its recorded book value and, as a result, the entire goodwill balance carried at the Baycorp reporting unit of $10.7 million was impaired. The goodwill impairment is included in operating expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The annual goodwill testing date for the reporting units that are included in the portfolio purchasing and recovery reportable segment is October 1st. Other than the impairment charge discussed above, there have been no events or circumstances during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 that have required the Company to perform an interim assessment of goodwill carried at these reporting units. Management continues to evaluate and monitor all key factors impacting the carrying value of the Company’s recorded goodwill and long-lived assets. Adverse changes in the Company’s actual or expected operating results, market capitalization, business climate, economic factors or other negative events that may be outside the control of management could result in a material non-cash impairment charge in the future.
The Company’s goodwill is attributable to reporting units included in its portfolio purchasing and recovery segment. The following table summarizes the activity in the Company’s goodwill balance (in thousands):
