2024 Goodwill impairment loss

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company identified circumstances prior to its annual impairment test that indicated that it was “more likely than not” that the fair value of the Company’s goodwill was below its carrying value. The primary qualitative impairment indicator noted was that of a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s share price from that of the first quarter of 2024, along with decreasing cash flows, lower actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods, and changes in management. The Company therefore performed a long-lived asset and goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of 2024 and
determined that goodwill was impaired. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $65.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. No impairment was indicated for long-lived assets.

The fair value of the Company’s goodwill was estimated by equally weighing the results of an income approach and market approach. Valuation techniques utilized were substantially considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs included the Company’s internal forecasts of its future results, cash flows, and its weighted average cost of capital. Key assumptions used in the impairment analysis included projected revenue growth rates, discount rates, and market factors such as earnings multiples from comparable publicly traded companies.

Long-lived assets and goodwill were not determined to be further impaired as of the annual impairment test date on October 1, 2024.

2023 Goodwill impairment loss

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company identified circumstances prior to its annual impairment test that indicated that it was “more likely than not” that the fair value of the Company’s goodwill was below its carrying value. The primary qualitative impairment indicator noted was that of a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s share price from that of the second quarter of 2023. The Company therefore performed a long-lived asset and goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2023 and determined that goodwill was impaired. The Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $78.3 million. No impairment was indicated for long-lived assets.
