Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. Impairment testing is required more often than annually if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment is more likely than not to have occurred. In conducting its annual impairment testing, the Company may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. If not, no further goodwill impairment testing is required. If it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount, or if the Company elects not to perform a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit, the Company then compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the related net book value. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill recorded. The Company conducts its annual impairment testing as of the first day of its fourth quarter.

During the first and second quarters of 2021, an interim goodwill impairment analysis related to one of the Company’s reporting units within its Seating operating segment was performed. The results of the quantitative analysis indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the related carrying value. The quantitative analysis reflected the Company’s best estimates of the COVID-19 pandemic’s ultimate impact on industry conditions, including consumer demand and economic recovery. As of October 2, 2021, the Company does not believe that any of its reporting units are at risk for impairment.

There was no impairment of goodwill in the first nine months of 2021 and 2020. The Company will, however, continue to assess the impact of significant industry and other events on its recorded goodwill.
