 to its fair value. When the Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment, generally, the Company first performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the Company determines qualitatively that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or if the Company decides to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company performs a quantitative analysis. The quantitative analysis is used to identify both the existence of impairment and the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the estimated fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The estimated fair value is based on forward-looking estimates of performance and cash flows of the reporting unit, which are based on historical operating results, adjusted for current and expected future market conditions, as well as various internal projections and external sources. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in the Company's consolidated income statements in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill.The Company performed an impairment analysis for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit was in excess of its carrying amount, and as such, no impairment was required.Definite-lived intangible assets that were acquired through asset acquisitions or business combinations include customer relationships, contract rights, and favorable leaseholds. These intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from two to thirteen years using a straight-line method as it approximates the accelerated method. The Company is required to review long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. We report assets to be disposed of at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell. There were no impairment indicators of long-lived assets or definite lived intangibles for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.Variable Interest EntitiesWe have an economic interest in an entity that is a VIE.
