 in circumstances indicate impairment may exist. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting units using the income approach based upon estimated future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate with the risk involved or market-based comparables. The determination of the fair value using the income approach requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future cash flows and discount rates. Changes to the forecasted revenue growth, earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and discount rate assumptions may result in a significantly different estimate of the fair value of the reporting units, which could result in a different assessment of the recoverability of goodwill or measurement of an impairment charge. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test, which resulted in a non-cash impairment charge of $401.0 million related to certain reporting units which are now included in the SAS reportable segment. Refer to Note 10. Goodwill, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The annual impairment test performed on October 1, 2024,  2023 and 2022 resulted in no impairment. We continue to monitor the impact of the sustained impact of macro-economic conditions, an increasingly global competitive environment, along with continued volatility in the construction and automotive sectors. Future deterioration in these conditions may require us to perform an interim quantitative impairment test in 2025. 

The fair value estimates used in the assessment of impairment for goodwill consider historical trends in addition to significant assumptions including projections of future performance. Changes in these assumptions can have a significant impact on the assessment of fair value.
