GENTHERM INCORPORATED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)(In thousands, except share and per share data)  

The Company utilized an income approach to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit and a market valuation approach to further support this analysis (level 3). The income approach was based on projected debt-free cash flow that was discounted to the present value using discount factors that considered the timing and risk of cash flows. Fair value was estimated using internally developed forecasts, as well as commercial and discount rate assumptions. The discount rate used was the value-weighted average of our estimated cost of equity and of debt (“cost of capital”) derived using both known and estimated customary market metrics. Our weighted average cost of capital includes a company specific risk premium to address the risks associated with achieving the projected revenue and profitability growth rates. Other significant assumptions included terminal value growth rates and terminal value margin rates. Our ability to realize the future cash flows used in our calculations is affected by factors such as the success of strategic initiatives, changes in economic conditions, changes in our operating performance and changes in our business strategies. To further support the fair value estimate determined by the income approach, the Company utilized a market valuation approach to estimate the fair value of the Medical reporting unit. The market approach considered historical and anticipated financial metrics of the Medical reporting unit and applied valuation multiples based on recent observed transactions involving companies similar enough to the Medical reporting unit from which to draw meaningful conclusions.In addition to annual impairment testing, which is performed in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions used in determining fair value and therefore would require interim impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, recent market valuations from transactions by comparable companies, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions. We are not presently aware of any other events or circumstances that would require us to revise the carrying
