GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Impairment testing

We annually test the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the fourth quarter based on a measurement date as of the end of the third quarter. In addition, we test such assets for impairment on a more frequent basis if there are indications of potential impairment.
