Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Identified Intangible Assets

GOODWILL AND IDENTIFIED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase price and the estimated fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is allocated among and evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company has two reporting units, Video and Cable Edge. The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset is more likely than not impaired. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed in the fiscal fourth quarter, with a testing date at the end of October.

During 2016, the Company recorded goodwill of $41.7 million for the TVN acquisition. Goodwill from the TVN acquisition is assigned to the Video reporting unit.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were as follows (in thousands):



	Video		Cable Edge		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2016	$	176,519	$	60,760	$	237,279
Foreign currency translation adjustment	625		7		632
Balance as of March 31, 2017	$	177,144	$	60,767	$	237,911

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows and determining appropriate discount rates, growth rates, an appropriate control premium and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value for each reporting unit which could trigger impairment. If the Company’s assumptions and related estimates change in the future, or if the Company’s reporting structure changes or other events and circumstances change (e.g. such as a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price), the Company may be required to record impairment charges in future periods. Any impairment charges that the Company may take in the future could be material to its results of operations and financial condition.

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment review at October 31, 2016. Based on the impairment test performed, management concluded that goodwill was not impaired as the Video and Cable Edge reporting units had estimated fair values in excess of their carrying value by approximately 67% and 123%, respectively.

The Company has not recorded any impairment charges related to goodwill for any prior periods.
