The economic uncertainty, changes in the propensity for the general public to travel by air, and reductions in demand for commercial aircraft as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic have adversely impacted net sales and operating results in certain of our Aerospace and Defense reporting units and was determined to be an event and change in circumstances that required a quantitative review of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment. The determination of the fair value of reporting units is based, among other things, on estimates of future operating performance of the reporting unit being valued. The Company's methodology includes the use of an income approach that discounts future net cash flows to their present value at a rate that reflects the Company's cost of capital. These estimated fair values are based on estimates of future cash flows of the businesses. Factors affecting these future cash flows include the continued market demand for, and acceptance of, the products and services offered by the businesses, the development of new products and services by the businesses and the underlying cost of development, the future cost structure of the businesses and future technological changes. The Company also incorporates market multiples for comparable companies in determining the fair value of its reporting units where applicable. The quantitative review determined that there was no impairment during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020. Due to similar and other challenges in our NRG reporting unit, a quantitative review of goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment was performed. The Company determined that there was no impairment during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020.
