Risk Change Over Time
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 1Impairment of goodwill has negatively impacted our results of operations. If goodwill is further or fully impaired in the future, our results of operations will be negatively impacted further.
We evaluate goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an evaluation should be completed. The impairment test is based on several factors, estimates and assumptions, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, market capitalization and other relevant events. Significant changes to these factors could impact the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of goodwill or intangible assets and may indicate potential impairment. As described in Note 9. Goodwill, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, during the first quarter of 2025, primarily in response to a sustained decline in the Company's share price, an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test was performed, which resulted in a goodwill impairment charge of $411.9 million. In the fourth quarter of 2025, we completed our annual goodwill assessment and no additional impairment charge was recognized as of December 31, 2025. We will continue to conduct impairment analyses of our goodwill on an annual basis, as well as whenever there are events or changes in circumstances which indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We could be required to record additional impairment charges in the future if any recoverability assessments reflect estimated fair values that are less than the carrying values. Further impairments of our goodwill could adversely affect our results of operations.
