Note 6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in a business combination. A summary of the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by segment, is shown below:

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis as of the beginning of the fourth quarter each fiscal year. In addition, the Company continuously monitors for events and circumstances that could negatively impact the key assumptions used in determining fair value and therefore require interim goodwill impairment testing, including long-term revenue growth projections, profitability, discount rates, volatility in the Company's market capitalization, and general industry, market and macroeconomic conditions.

As a result of sustained decreases in the Company’s publicly quoted share price, market capitalization and lower than expected operating results, the Company concluded that a triggering event had occurred requiring an interim goodwill impairment assessment. These factors suggested that the fair value of one or more of the Company's reporting units may have fallen below their carrying amounts. The Company quantitatively assessed its reporting units which have performed substantially below the forecast used in its last quantitative fair value test. The reporting units that were quantitatively assessed were North American Automotive ("NAA") and European Automotive ("EA").

The Company engaged a third-party valuation specialist to assist management in performing the interim goodwill impairment assessment. The fair value of the NAA and EA reporting units were estimated using a combination of the income approach and market approach, weighted accordingly for the specific circumstances of the reporting unit. The income approach uses a discounted cash flow method and the market approach uses appropriate valuation multiples observed for the reporting unit’s guideline public companies. The determination of discounted cash flows are based on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) margins, taking into consideration business and market conditions for the countries and markets in which the reporting unit operates. The Company calculates the discount rate based on a market-participant, risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital, which considers industry specific rates of return on debt and equity capital for a target industry capital structure, adjusted for risks associated with business size, geography and other factors specific to the reporting unit. Long-range forecasting involves uncertainty which increases with each successive period. Revenue growth rates and profitability assumptions, especially in the outer years, involve a greater degree of uncertainty.

Based upon the results of the quantitative impairment test, the Company determined the carrying value of the NAA and EA reporting units exceeded their fair value at October 28, 2023. As a result, the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $56.5 million ($50.4 million for NAA and $6.1 million for EA, respectively) in the three and six months ended October 28, 2023, which was determined as the excess carrying value over fair value of the respective reporting unit up to the carrying value of the goodwill immediately prior to the impairment. Any significant changes to the assumptions regarding future performance, an adverse change to macroeconomic conditions, a further reduction in the Company's market capitalization, or a change to other assumptions could result in impairment losses in the future, which could be significant.

A summary of goodwill by reporting unit is as follows:
