The contractual maturities on the U.S. treasury securities as of December 31, 2024, are all due within one year. Accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2024, was $0.8 million and was recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

The Company had no investment classified as available-for-sale in a continuous unrealized loss position for which an allowance for credit losses was not recorded as of December 31, 2024.

 

In the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, no unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities were recognized in income. The Company does not intend to sell, and it is unlikely that it will be required to sell the investments in an unrealized loss position prior to their anticipated recovery. The investments are high quality U.S. treasury securities and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other market conditions with the fair value expected to recover as they reach maturity. There were no other-than-temporary impairments for these securities during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Refer to Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, for detailed disclosures regarding fair value measurements.

The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventory based on assumptions about future demand and the amounts incurred were $6.1 million, $3.2 million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. While management believes the estimates and assumptions underlying its current forecasts are reasonable, there is risk that additional charges may be necessary if current forecasts are greater than actual demand.

Amortization of purchased intangibles in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

An intangible asset impairment charge of $1.1 million was recognized for the Connected Home reporting unit in the year ended December 31, 2023, which reduced the intangibles, net to zero. No intangibles impairment was recorded in the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2022.

Goodwill

Each year on the first day of fourth fiscal quarter, the Company assesses its goodwill for potential impairment. This impairment testing is applied more frequently than once a year if the Company is aware of changed conditions or circumstances since the last impairment testing that might call into question whether the current balances are fairly recorded.

The Company completed its annual impairment test of goodwill as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2024, or September 30, 2024. The Company identified the reporting units for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing as NETGEAR for Business and Connected Home and performed a qualitative test on the NETGEAR for Business reporting unit. Based upon the results of the qualitative testing, the Company believed that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the NETGEAR for Business reporting unit was greater than its carrying value and therefore performing the next step of impairment test for this reporting unit was unnecessary. No goodwill impairment was recognized for the NETGEAR for Business reporting unit in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 or 2022. An interim goodwill impairment test performed in the first fiscal quarter of 2022 resulted in an impairment charge of $44.4 million in respect to the Connected Home reporting unit, which reduced the goodwill of this reporting unit to zero. Accumulated goodwill impairment charges as of December 31, 2024 was $44.4 million for the Connected Home reporting unit and zero for the NETGEAR for Business reporting unit.
