(a)
This goodwill is related to the pending transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement and is included in assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 4—Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.
In 2019, the Company acquired goodwill of $3 million associated with three of its acquisitions in the Regulated Businesses segment. Additionally, as part of the sale of the Company’s Keystone operations on December 12, 2019, the Company reduced goodwill, net, by $38 million. See Note 4—Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.
The Company completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill as of November 30, 2019, which included quantitative assessments of its Regulated Businesses, Homeowner Services Group and Military Services Group reporting units. Based on these assessments, the Company determined that there were no factors present that would indicate that the fair value of these reporting units was less than their respective carrying values as of November 30, 2019.
In 2018, the Company acquired goodwill of $247 million associated with its acquisition of Pivotal, which was allocated to the Homeowner Services Group reporting unit, within the Market-Based Businesses. Additionally, the Company acquired goodwill of $2 million associated with one of its acquisitions in the Regulated Businesses segment.
During the third quarter of 2018, as a result of the narrowing the scope of the Company’s former Keystone operations, the Company concluded there were indicators that the Keystone reporting unit may have been impaired. Accordingly, impairment testing was performed as part of the preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements during the third quarter of 2018. The results of this impairment test showed the fair value of the former Keystone reporting unit was lower than its carrying value, resulting in a non-cash, pre-tax goodwill impairment charge of $53 million. Additionally, the impairment test showed the fair value of the former Keystone reporting unit’s customer relationship intangible asset was lower than its carrying value, resulting in a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $4 million. In the aggregate, a non-cash, pre-tax impairment charge of $57 million was recorded in impairment charge on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2018, of which, $54 million was attributable to the Company, after adjustment for noncontrolling interest.
