Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the net tangible and identified intangible assets of acquired businesses. We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may not be recoverable. Evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of each reporting unit in which goodwill is recorded using a qualitative or quantitative analysis. A reporting unit is an operating segment or a component of an operating segment for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed by management on a regular basis.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we changed the date of our annual goodwill impairment testing from our year-end to the first day in our fiscal fourth quarter. This change results in better alignment of the annual impairment testing with our strategic and annual planning processes. This change was determined to not be material and had no impact on our current or historical consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we identified qualitative indicators of impairment, including a significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization, along with concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic at four of our nine identified reporting units. Therefore, we performed an interim goodwill impairment evaluation as of May 30, 2020. Based on the results of the interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis, the estimated fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, goodwill impairment was not indicated as of May 30, 2020. However, the estimated fair value did not exceed carrying value by a significant margin at two reporting units within the Architectural Framing Systems segment, EFCO and Sotawall, which had goodwill balances of $90.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively, at May 30, 2020. We utilized a discount rate of 11.0 percent in determining the discounted cash flows for EFCO and a discount rate of 10.4 percent in determining the discounted cash flows for Sotawall. We utilized a long-term growth rate of 3.0 percent in our fair value analysis for all reporting units. If our discount rates were to increase by 100 basis points at Sotawall and EFCO, the fair value of these reporting units would fall below carrying value, which would indicate impairment of the goodwill. Additionally, this discounted cash flow analysis is dependent upon achieving forecasted levels of revenue and profitability. If revenue or profitability were to fall below forecasted levels, or if market conditions were to decline in a material or sustained manner, impairment could be indicated at these reporting units, and potentially at other reporting units.

During the third quarter, we combined two reporting units into one reporting unit, following certain structural and leadership changes at the Company, specifically within the Architectural Framing Systems segment. Within this segment, as a result of integration efforts that are ongoing, leadership over our Tubelite and Alumicor reporting units have been combined and functional leaders in areas such as operations, sales, marketing and general and administrative areas are responsible for allocating resources and reviewing results of the combined business. The goodwill of these individual reporting units was aggregated to the combined reporting unit. We evaluated goodwill on a qualitative basis prior to and subsequent to this change
and have concluded no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was necessary as a result of this change. In addition, for all reporting units, no qualitative indicators of impairment were identified during the third quarter, and therefore, no interim quantitative goodwill impairment evaluation was performed.

The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each reporting segment was:

(1) During the quarter ended May 30, 2020, we recorded a $6.3 million increase to goodwill and corresponding increase to deferred tax liabilities to correct an immaterial error related to prior periods. The error was not material to any previously reported annual or interim consolidated financial statements.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets
We hold intangible assets for certain acquired trade names and trademarks which are determined to have indefinite useful lives. Similar to the change in goodwill measurement date discussed above, we historically evaluated the reasonableness of the useful life and tested indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at our year-end, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. In the third quarter of fiscal 2021, we changed the date of our annual impairment testing from our year-end to the first day in our fiscal fourth quarter.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we identified qualitative indicators of impairment, including deteriorating macroeconomic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the Company performed a quantitative indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment evaluation as of May 30, 2020. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. If an impairment loss is recognized, the adjusted carrying amount becomes the asset's new accounting basis.

Fair value is measured using the relief-from-royalty method. This method assumes the trade name or trademark has value to the extent that the owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from the asset. This method requires us to estimate the future revenue from the related asset, the appropriate royalty rate, and the weighted average cost of capital. The assessment of fair value involves significant judgment and projections about future performance. In determining the discounted future revenue in our fair value analysis, we used discount rates that are appropriate with the risks and uncertainties inherent in the respective businesses in the range of 10.9 percent to 11.5 percent, royalty rates of 1.5 to 2.0 percent, and a long-term growth rate of 3.0 percent. Based on our analysis, the fair value of each of our trade names exceeded its carrying amount and impairment was not indicated as of May 30, 2020. During the third quarter of fiscal 2021, no additional qualitative indicators of impairment were identified and therefore, no interim quantitative indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment evaluation was completed. We continue to conclude that the useful life of our indefinite-lived intangible assets is appropriate. If future revenue were to fall below forecasted levels or if market conditions were to decline in a material or sustained manner, due to COVID-19 or otherwise, impairment could be indicated on one or more of our indefinite-lived intangible assets.
