At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company performed its annual impairment tests and evaluated its UGG and other brands' goodwill. At October 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company performed its annual impairment tests and evaluated its Sanuk goodwill and Teva trademarks. Based on the carrying amounts of the UGG, Teva, Sanuk, and other brands' goodwill, trademarks, and net assets, the brands' fiscal year 2016 and 2015 sales and operating results, and the brands' long-term forecasts of sales and operating results as of their evaluation dates, the Company concluded that the carrying amounts of the UGG, Sanuk and other brands' goodwill, as well as the Teva trademarks, were not impaired. We performed a quantitative analysis of the Sanuk reporting unit's fair value at October 31, 2015, and concluded that it was not impaired with a significant excess compared to its carrying value. The Sanuk brand goodwill was evaluated based on qualitative analysis at October 31, 2014. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, and at October 31, 2015 and 2014, all goodwill other than the Sanuk brand goodwill and all other nonamortizable intangibles were evaluated based on qualitative analyses.
