Goodwill Impairment
The 2022 and 2021 goodwill impairment tests resulted in no impairment to the carrying value of goodwill in any of the Company’s reporting units and no impairment charges were recognized in 2022 or 2021. See Note 7 for discussion of the $86.3 million of goodwill impairment charges in 2020, respectively, within the Aerospace segment. Such amounts are reported within the Impairment Loss line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the respective year.
Restructuring Activities
The Company incurred an impairment charge to ROU assets of approximately $0.7 million during 2020 related to its AeroSat subsidiary, which had been restructured in 2019. Additional charges of $0.2 million and $0.4 million associated with restructuring at AeroSat were recorded during 2021 and 2020, respectively. All such charges were included in the Aerospace segment.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy, and particularly the aerospace industry, resulting in reduced expectations of the Company’s anticipated future operating results. As a result, the Company executed restructuring activities in the form of workforce reduction, primarily in the second quarter of 2020, to align capacity with expected demand. Accordingly, restructuring charges of $4.9 million in severance expense associated primarily with the Aerospace segment were recorded in 2020. Additional restructuring charges of $0.6 million occurred during 2021 to align the workforce to expected activities and to consolidate certain facilities. Severance expense during 2021 included $0.3 million related with the Aerospace segment and $0.3 million related with the Test Systems segment. Restructuring-related severance charges and other charges were insignificant in 2022. Any future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.

One of the investments became impaired in 2020 which resulted in an impairment charge of $3.5 million recorded within the Other Expense, Net of Other Income line in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020.
