We have recorded impairments in prior periods related to the divestiture of certain operations. Cumulative impairments of goodwill totaled $1.6 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017.
In accordance with current accounting guidance, we identified three reporting units for the purpose of conducting our goodwill impairment review. In determining our reportable units, we considered (i) whether an operating segment or a component of an operating segment was a business, (ii) whether discrete financial information was available, and (iii) whether the financial information is regularly reviewed by management of the operating segment. We performed our annual impairment assessment during the beginning of the December fiscal month of 2019. The excess of the fair value of our reporting units over their respective carrying values for the three reporting units exceeded 33%. No impairment loss was recorded in 2019, 2018 or 2017.
