There was no impairment expense related to goodwill for each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016.
Throughout 2018, we considered the qualitative and quantitative factors associated with each of our reporting units and determined that there was no indication that the carrying values of any of our reporting units were likely impaired.
Management performed its annual impairment assessment of the carrying value of goodwill as of December 31, 2018. For each of our reporting units, we assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units was less than its carrying amount. We concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of these reporting units was more than their carrying amounts at December 31, 2018.
Kforce performed a quantitative analysis for each reporting unit and compared the carrying value for each to the respective estimated fair values as of December 31, 2017. Discounted cash flows, which serve as the primary basis for the income approach, were based on a discrete financial forecast developed by management. Cash flows beyond the discrete forecast period of five years were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which incorporated historical and forecasted financial trends and also considered long-term earnings growth rates for publicly-traded peer companies, as well as the risk-free rate of return. The market approach consists of: (1) the guideline company method and (2) the guideline transaction method. The guideline company method applies pricing multiples derived from publicly-traded guideline companies that are comparable to the reporting unit to determine its value. The guideline transaction method applies pricing multiples derived from recently completed acquisitions that we believe are reasonably comparable to the reporting unit to determine fair value. Kforce concluded there were no indications of impairment for its reporting units for the year ended December 31, 2017.
As of December 31, 2016, for our Technology and Finance and Accounting reporting units, we assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units was less than its carrying amount. Based on the qualitative assessments, management determined that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of the reporting units were less than the carrying values. As of December 31, 2016, for our Government Solutions reporting unit, we performed a quantitative analysis and compared the carrying value to the estimated fair value, using a similar approach as described above noting no indications of impairment.
