For purposes of reviewing for potential goodwill impairment, as of January 31, 2022, we had one reporting unit. Based on our November 1, 2021 and 2020 quantitative goodwill impairment reviews, we concluded that the estimated fair values of our reporting unit significantly exceeded its carrying value.

No changes in circumstances or indicators of potential impairment were identified between November 1 and January 31 in each of the years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021.
 
No goodwill impairment was identified for the years ended January 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
