Effects of foreign currency translation		(22.6)		—		(22.6)
Balance at March 31, 2020	$	665.1	$	264.0	$	929.1

Approximately $3.2 million of LoyaltyOne goodwill was allocated to Precima upon sale in January 2020, based on a relative fair value allocation of the businesses.

The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually, as of July 31, or when events and circumstances change that would indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. As of March 31, 2020, the Company does not believe it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units is less than its carrying amount. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and current macroeconomic environment, should future deterioration result in a material adverse impact to our business, our goodwill may be impaired.
