During the first quarter of 2022, the Company concluded that significant changes in the business climate in Russia represented an indicator of impairment, which resulted in the performance of an interim goodwill impairment test. The Company performed interim quantitative testing of goodwill attributed to the Europe reporting unit and concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit had not been reduced below carrying value and no goodwill impairment charge was recorded.

The Company performed its annual testing of its reporting units for possible goodwill impairments by applying the qualitative assessment to its Europe and Latin America reporting units as of October 1, 2022. For the current year evaluation, the Company assessed various assumptions, events and circumstances that would have affected the estimated fair value of the reporting units
under the qualitative assessment for the reporting units listed above. The results of the qualitative assessments indicated that it is not more likely than not that the fair values of its Europe and Latin America reporting units were less than their carrying values.

In addition, the Company considered whether there were any events or circumstances outside of the annual evaluation, other than those discussed above, that would reduce the fair value of its reporting units below their carrying amounts and necessitate a goodwill impairment evaluation. In consideration of all relevant factors, there were no indicators that would require goodwill impairment evaluation subsequent to October 1, 2022.
