A test for goodwill impairment is required to be completed annually, in the Company’s case as of August 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. No goodwill impairments were recorded in 2023 or 2022. The accumulated impairment loss reflects a goodwill impairment incurred in 2009.
