Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The company tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist.

Goodwill of companies acquired, allocated to the company’s business segments, is as follows:


	Global Components		Global ECS		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2019 (a)	$	883,496	$	1,177,826	$	2,061,322

Foreign currency translation adjustment	(1,363)		(7,831)		(9,194)
Balance as of June 27, 2020 (a)	$	882,133	$	1,169,995	$	2,052,128

(a) The total carrying value of goodwill as of June 27, 2020 and December 31, 2019 in the table above is reflected net of $1,588,955 of accumulated impairment charges, of which $1,287,100 was recorded in the global components business segment and $301,855 was recorded in the global enterprise computing solutions ("ECS") business segment.

During the first quarter of 2020, as a result of significant declines in macroeconomic conditions and equity valuations, and the implementation of regulatory restrictions brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic, and due to historically low head-room, the company determined that it was more likely than not that an impairment may exist within the Americas components and eInfochips reporting units. The company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for these reporting units and determined goodwill was not impaired. As of March 28, 2020, the fair value of the Americas components and eInfochips reporting units, within the global components business segment, exceeded their carrying values by less than 10%.

The company estimated the fair value of these reporting units using the income approach. For the purposes of the income approach, fair value was determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk adjusted rate. The fair value conclusions as of March 28, 2020 for the Americas components and eInfochips reporting units are highly sensitive to changes in the assumptions used in the income approach which include forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flow, forecasted capital expenditures, perpetual growth rates, and long-term discount rates, among others, all of which require significant judgments by management. The company has used recent historical performance, current forecasted financial information, and broad-based industry and economic statistics as a basis to estimate the key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model. These key assumptions are inherently uncertain and require a high degree of estimation and judgment and are subject to change based on future changes, industry and global economic and geo-political conditions, and the timing and success of the implementation of current strategic initiatives. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on estimated future cash flows is highly uncertain and will largely depend on the

outcome of future events, which could result in a goodwill impairment going forward. The impacts of COVID-19 were considered in the interim impairment analysis as of March 28, 2020 through the use of probability weighted cash flow scenarios and an increase in the discount rates. The company concluded no further indicators of potential impairment existed, and as such, no interim impairment test was required at June 27, 2020.

During the second quarter of 2019, as a result of the company's downward revision of forecasted future earnings and the decision to wind down the company's personal computer and mobility asset disposition business, the company determined that it was more likely than not that an impairment may exist within the Americas components and Asia-Pacific components reporting units. The company evaluated its other four reporting units and concluded an interim impairment analysis was not required based on the results of those reporting units and historical levels of headroom in each of those reporting units. The interim goodwill impairment analysis resulted in a partial goodwill impairment charge of $509,000 ($457,806 net of tax) with approximately $600,000 of goodwill remaining within the Americas components reporting unit and a full impairment charge of $61,175 ($61,175 net of tax) within the Asia-Pacific components reporting unit.

	Weighted-Average Life	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization		Net
Customer relationships	11 years	$	350,931	$	(162,429)	$	188,502
Amortizable trade name	8 years	74,007		(12,981)		61,026

Intangible assets, net, are comprised of the following as of December 31, 2019:

Customer relationships	12 years	$	354,305	$	(148,632)	$	205,673
Amortizable trade name	8 years	76,407		(10,177)		66,230

During the second quarter of 2019, the company initiated actions to further integrate two global components businesses. These businesses held indefinite-lived trade names with a carrying value of $101,000. As a result of the company’s decision to integrate these brands, we determined the useful lives of the trade names were no longer indefinite. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2019, the company began amortizing these trade names over their estimated remaining useful lives. The trade names were tested for impairment during the second quarter of 2019 as a result of the change in estimated useful lives. The company estimated the fair value of the trade names to be $55,000 using the relief from royalty method and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $46,000 ($34,653 net of tax). The drivers of the impairment were primarily due to the shortened useful lives of the asset and a decline of the forecasted revenues attributable to the trade names as integration to the Arrow brand occurs over the estimated remaining useful lives.

During the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, the company recorded amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets of $9,734 and $11,413, respectively. During the first six months of 2020 and 2019, amortization expense related to identifiable intangible assets was $19,689 and $23,343, respectively.
