During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment for all of our reporting units except one for which we performed a quantitative assessment, which considered various factors, including changes in the carrying value of the reporting unit, forecasted operating results, long-term growth rates and discount rates. Additionally, we considered qualitative key events and circumstances (i.e. macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions, cost factors and events specific to the reporting unit, etc.). Based on this assessment, we concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of the reporting units was greater than its carrying value. Accordingly, no further testing was required. For our Texas electrical operation, we performed a step 1 quantitative assessment, and the calculated fair value exceeded the carrying value by 24%. As a result of uncertainty caused by COVID-19 and the reporting unit’s smaller excess of fair value percentage, this reporting unit is more susceptible to impairment risk from additional adverse changes in its operating environment, including micro- and macroeconomic environment conditions

that could negatively impact them. Such adverse changes could include worsening economic conditions in the locations or markets they primarily serve, whether due to COVID-19 or other events and conditions. As of September 30, 2021, the Texas electrical operation had a goodwill balance of $96.8 million.
