(1)     At October 31, 2019, the fair value of the acquired goodwill related to our acquisition of Wave was provisional pending the final purchase price allocation.
We test goodwill for impairment annually in our fourth quarter, or more frequently if events occur or circumstances change which would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.
