All goodwill relates to the Aerospace segment. As discussed in Note 1, goodwill is not amortized but is periodically tested for impairment. For the nine 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 2018 assessment indicated no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill in any of the Company’s reporting units and no impairment charge was recognized.
In the year ending December 31, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $16.2 million in the consolidated statement of operations associated to the Armstrong reporting unit, which represented all of Armstrong's goodwill. The impairment loss was incurred in the Aerospace segment and is reported on the Impairment Loss line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There was no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill in 2016.
