During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company identified certain indicators of potential impairment, therefore an interim test for goodwill impairment was performed as of June 30, 2026. For an immaterial foreign reporting unit specializing in tutoring services, the fair value was less than its book value, and therefore, the Company recognized goodwill impairment of $6.3 million. The inputs to the fair value are defined in the fair value hierarchy as level 3 due to the lack of observable inputs used in the model. Refer to Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 11, Segment Information, for additional information.
The Company also has intangible assets, which consisted of the following as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
