In assessing the possibility that a reporting unit’s fair value has been reduced below its carrying amount due to the occurrence of events or circumstances between annual impairment testing dates, we consider all available evidence, including (i) the results of our impairment testing from the most recent testing date (in particular, the magnitude of the excess of fair value over carrying value observed), (ii) downward revisions to internal forecasts or decreases in market multiples (and the magnitude thereof), if any, and (iii) declines in market capitalization below book value (and the magnitude and duration of those declines), if any.

In the first quarter of 2020, we performed an analysis of the impact of recent events, including business and industry specific considerations, on the fair values of our Additive reporting unit in our Aviation segment, our GECAS reporting unit in our Capital segment, and our Grid Solutions software reporting unit in our Digital business within Corporate. We did not identify any reporting units that required an interim impairment test. While the goodwill of these reporting units is not currently impaired there can be no assurances that goodwill will not be impaired in future periods. We will continue to monitor the operating results, cash flow forecasts and challenges from declines in current market conditions, as well as impacts of COVID-19 for these reporting units as their fair values are not significantly in excess of their respective carrying values. At March 31, 2020, goodwill in our Additive, GECAS, and Grid Solutions software reporting units was $1,091 million, $839 million and $869 million, respectively.
