Goodwill

Teradyne performs its annual goodwill impairment test as required under the provisions of ASC 350-10, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” on December 31 of each fiscal year unless interim indicators of impairment exist. Goodwill is considered to be impaired when the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair values are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology.

Teradyne performed its 2012 and 2011 annual goodwill impairment test at the Wireless Test reporting unit level which is an operating and reportable segment and the only operating and reportable segment that has goodwill. There was no impairment.

During 2012, Teradyne recorded a $3.5 million decrease in goodwill and a $3.5 million increase in income tax receivable.

 

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting units for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:
