Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

During the third quarter of 2014, based on a few consecutive quarters of revenue and earnings declines compared to historical levels within the Company's Energy reporting unit, the Company determined that there were indicators of a decline in fair value of the Energy reporting unit, which also may indicate a potential impairment of the recorded goodwill. As such, the Company conducted a Step 1 quantitative goodwill impairment analysis as required by the authoritative accounting literature. The Company utilized both income and market-based approaches, placing a 75% and 25% weighting on each, respectively. Significant management assumptions used under the income approach were a weighted average cost of capital of 13% and an estimated residual growth rate of 3%. In considering the weighted average cost of capital for the reporting unit, management considered the level of risk inherent in the cash flow projections based on historical attainment of its projections and current market conditions. Upon completion of the goodwill impairment test, the Company determined that the fair value of the Energy reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by more than 20%, and thus there was no goodwill impairment. In addition, a 1% reduction in residual growth rate combined with a 1% increase in the weighted average cost of capital would not have changed the conclusions reached under the Step I impairment test.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are summarized as follows:
