As discussed in Note 1, goodwill is not amortized but is periodically tested for impairment. For the eight reporting units with goodwill on the first day of our fourth quarter, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of the goodwill’s carrying value. The assessment indicated no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill in any of the Company’s reporting units and no impairment charge was recognized. There was no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill in 2015 or 2014. All goodwill relates to the Aerospace segment.
