Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Amortizable Intangible Assets — Goodwill at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $133.0 million. Goodwill is evaluated in the fourth quarter of each year and when events or circumstances suggest a potential impairment has occurred. There were no indicators of impairment as of September 30, 2015.
