Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill

We had no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The carrying value of goodwill was $49.8 million as of March 31, 2016.

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment using a two-step method on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability of goodwill is measured at the reporting unit level by comparing the reporting unit’s carrying amount, including goodwill, to the fair market value of the reporting unit. No goodwill impairment was recognized as of March 31, 2016.
