| Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Goodwill | Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Our annual impairment assessment of our two reporting units is performed as of the fourth quarter of each year, and an assessment is performed at other times if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, states that an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. ASC 350 also states that a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount is not required to perform a qualitative assessment. Our Sirius XM reporting unit, which has an allocated goodwill balance of $2,290, had a negative carrying amount as of September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, there were no indicators of impairment, and no impairment losses were recorded for goodwill during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. As of September 30, 2020, the cumulative balance of goodwill impairments recorded was $4,766, which was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2008 and is included in the carrying value of the goodwill allocated to our Sirius XM reporting unit.
As of September 30, 2020, the carrying amount of goodwill for our Sirius XM and Pandora reporting units was $2,290 and $1,570, respectively. We recorded additional goodwill of $17 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to the acquisition of Simplecast in June 2020 which was recorded to our Pandora reporting unit. As of December 31, 2019, the carrying amount of goodwill for our Sirius XM and Pandora reporting units was $2,290 and $1,553, respectively.
