Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. HD Supply does not amortize goodwill, but does assess the recoverability of goodwill on an annual basis, in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. If an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value, an interim impairment test would be performed between annual tests.

HD Supply performed the annual goodwill impairment testing during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 (as of October 28, 2018).  There was no indication of impairment in any of the Company’s reporting units in the fiscal 2018 annual test or in the fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2016 annual tests. The Company’s analysis was based, in part, on HD Supply’s expectation of future market conditions for each of the reporting units, as well as discount rates that would be used by market participants in an arms-length transaction. Future events could cause the Company to conclude that market conditions have declined to the extent that the Company’s goodwill could be impaired.

During fiscal 2018, the Company recorded $183 million in goodwill as a result of the A.H. Harris acquisition.
