Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Note 8 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net

Goodwill

Goodwill was $1.500 billion at December 31, 2016 compared with $1.510 billion at June 30, 2016. The decrease in goodwill in the six months ended December 31, 2016 versus June 30, 2016 was primarily associated with unfavorable foreign currency translation of $9.7 million and a decrease of $0.1 million in connection with the acquisition of TowerSec Ltd. (“TowerSec”).

As discussed in Note 18 – Business Segment Data, we revised our segment and reporting unit structure effective July 1, 2016. Under this new structure, our Lifestyle Audio segment will now contain our car audio aftermarket services business which was previously included in our Connected Services segment. Our reporting units are the same as our reportable segments with the exception of Lifestyle Audio, which consists of two reporting units, car audio and consumer audio. In connection with this realignment, we reallocated our goodwill based on our new reporting structure based on each reporting unit’s relative fair value. We also performed a goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2016 using our new reporting units structure. We determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded its carrying value and, as such, no impairments were deemed to exist as of this date.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by business segment for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:

	Connected Car			Lifestyle Audio			Professional Solutions			Connected Services			Total
Balance, June 30, 2016	$	164,771		$	147,977		$	385,609		$	811,922		$	1,510,279

⁽¹⁾	The realignment adjustments reallocate our goodwill based on our new reporting structure based on the relative fair value of each reporting unit.

⁽²⁾	Refer to Note 22—Acquisitions for more information.

⁽³⁾	The other adjustments to goodwill primarily consist of foreign currency translation adjustments.

We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The contingent purchase price associated with the acquisition of innovative Systems GmbH (“IS”) is calculated pursuant to the terms of an agreement between the parties. Certain terms of the agreement are currently subject to a dispute between certain parties and the matter has been submitted to arbitration.

On June 22, 2016, we executed an agreement with certain parties that previously owned 80.05% of IS (the “80.05% Shareholders”) to settle the remaining disputed matters with the 80.05% Shareholders that had been submitted to arbitration related to the contingent purchase price associated with our acquisition of IS. Under the terms of the agreement, we will pay the 80.05% Shareholders €76.8 million (the “IS Obligation”), with an initial payment of €24.8 million which was paid in July 2016 and four installment payments of €13 million due every July 1^st from 2017 through 2020. In fiscal year 2016, we recorded approximately $74.5 million of additional contingent purchase price for this IS Obligation as an increase to goodwill. The agreement includes an option that, if exercised by the 80.05% Shareholders, would require us to make selected installment payments early, subject to an eight percent discount rate. The existence of this option effectively makes this obligation due on demand and it has therefore been included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in Current portion of long-term debt. Until such time as the disputed matters with the remaining shareholders that previously owned 19.95% of IS are resolved, we cannot calculate the contingent purchase price related to the acquisition of IS. Refer to Note 9—Debt for more information.
