Management has determined that the Company has four operating segments, Etsy, Reverb, Depop, and Elo7, which qualify for aggregation as one reportable segment for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance, and each operating segment is determined to be a reporting unit.
Due to then current adverse macroeconomic conditions, including reopening, inflationary pressures on consumer discretionary spending, foreign exchange rate volatility, and ongoing geopolitical events, and related headwinds on business performances, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the fair values of the Depop and Elo7 reporting units were less than their carrying amounts at June 30, 2022. As a result, the Company performed impairment assessments of each of their goodwill, finite-lived intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. The quantitative impairment tests as of June 30, 2022 did not indicate an impairment.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the trend of adverse macroeconomic conditions continued; there were executive management changes at Depop and Elo7; and the Company made downward revisions to its business forecasts. Therefore, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred for the Depop and Elo7 reporting units and conducted an impairment test of each of their goodwill, finite-lived intangible assets, and other long-lived assets as of September 30, 2022. The Company updated the forecasted future cash flows used in the impairment assessment, including revenues, to reflect current conditions. Other changes in valuation assumptions compared to June 30, 2022 included the discount rates, which increased based on higher interest rates, market volatility, and other current market participant assumptions. The September 30, 2022 quantitative goodwill impairment test indicated a decline in the fair values of the Depop and Elo7 reporting units. As a result of this test, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $897.9 million and $147.1 million to write off goodwill in full for the Depop and Elo7 reporting units, respectively. The Company did not record any non-cash impairment charges to the finite-lived intangible assets or other long-lived assets of Depop and Elo7 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. The Company’s remaining goodwill balance as of September 30, 2022 relates to the Etsy standalone and Reverb reporting units, for which the Company concluded it was not more likely than not that their fair values were less than their carrying amounts at September 30, 2022.
