The significant estimation is primarily due to the judgmental nature of the inputs to the valuation models used to measure the fair value of the reporting units, as well as the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying significant assumptions. We typically use the income or market approach to measure the fair value of reporting units.

Typical methods to derive the fair value of reporting units include using the income or market approaches.
If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, the goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would recognize a goodwill impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
