Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

The Company performed a qualitative assessment as part of its 2021, 2020 and 2019 annual impairment tests (October 1 annual test date) for all reporting units, which included a review of the Company’s market capitalization. Based on results of the qualitative assessments for the 2021, 2020 and 2019 annual impairment tests, the Company determined there were no indications that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount; therefore, the Company determined that quantitative goodwill impairment tests were not required.

During the third quarter of 2020, as a result of a decline in its aerospace-related business' financial results, a significant reduction in its financial projections for the remainder of 2020 compared with prior projections, and uncertainty around the duration and magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on future financial results given their dependence on future levels of air travel and new aircraft builds, the Company determined there was a triggering event requiring an interim quantitative goodwill impairment assessment of each of its two aerospace-related reporting units: Aerospace Fasteners and Aerospace Engineered Products.

Upon completion of the quantitative goodwill impairment tests, the Company determined that the carrying values of the Aerospace Fasteners and Aerospace Engineered Products reporting units exceeded their fair values, resulting in goodwill impairment charges of approximately $70.8 million in its Aerospace Fasteners reporting unit and approximately $56.0 million in its Aerospace Engineered Products reporting unit.

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company began reporting its machined components operations within the Aerospace segment. These operations were previously reported in the Company's Specialty Products segment. As a result of the reporting structure change, goodwill of approximately $12.7 million was reassigned from the Specialty Products segment to the Aerospace segment.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Other Intangible Assets

For the purposes of the Company's 2021, 2020 and 2019 annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests (as of October 1), the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair values of the indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than the carrying values. Based on the qualitative assessment performed, the Company did not believe that it is more likely than not that the fair values of each of its indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than the carrying values; therefore, a fair value calculation of the indefinite-lived intangible assets was not required for the 2021, 2020 and 2019 annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests.

During the third quarter of 2020, as a result of the significant forecast reduction in the Company's aerospace-related businesses, the Company also performed an interim quantitative assessment for the indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Aerospace segment, using the relief-from-royalty method. Significant management assumptions used under the relief-from-royalty method reflected the Company's current assessment of the risks and uncertainties associated with the aerospace industry. Upon completion of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined that certain of the Company's aerospace-related trade names had carrying values that exceeded their fair values, and therefore recorded impairment charges of approximately $7.8 million.
