Refer to Note 4 to these consolidated financial statements for additional disclosure related to impairment of goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2015. We did not recognize any impairment for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, as the fair values of our reporting units with goodwill balances exceeded their carrying amounts.
