Goodwill
The performance of our Global Ecommerce reporting unit, continuing changes in macroeconomic conditions and our long-term outlook for this business were triggering events that caused us to evaluate the Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment during the second and fourth quarters. To assess Global Ecommerce goodwill for impairment, we determined the fair value of the reporting unit and compared it to the unit's carrying value, including goodwill. We engaged a third party to assist in the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on management developed cash flow projections, which included judgements and assumptions related to revenue growth rates, operating margins, operating income, and a discount rate. The estimates and assumptions are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. Our assessments indicated that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value and recorded non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charges in the second and fourth quarters of 2023 of $119 million and $220 million, respectively.
The results of our annual impairment test as of the beginning of the fourth quarter for our other reporting units indicated that no impairment existed.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting segment are shown in the tables below.
