Refer to note 11 for further details surrounding long-term debt as of December 31, 2019. Additionally, the Company remeasures certain assets to fair value, using Level 3 measurements, as a result of the occurrence of triggering events. In each of the second and third quarters of 2018, in connection with certain triggering events, the Company performed an impairment test of goodwill for all of its reporting units. See note 8 for further details. Besides goodwill from certain reporting units noted above, there were no significant assets or liabilities that were remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the period presented.
