We assess goodwill for impairment at a reporting unit level, which is one level below the operating segments. Our goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The fair values exceeded the carrying amount of our respective reporting units by approximately 32% to 635% at December 31, 2017. See Note 25 (Operating Segments) for further information on management reporting.
