•the effect of our principal stockholder owning a significant percentage of our capital stock, and thus being able to influence certain corporate matters and the potential in the future to gain substantial control over our company;
•the impact of certain holders of our Series A Preferred Stock owning a significant percentage of our capital stock, their ability to influence and control certain corporate matters and the potential for future dilution to holders of our common stock;
•a loss of our senior management or other key employees;
•the effect of public health pandemics, epidemics or outbreak, including COVID-19; and
•risks related to other factors discussed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 12, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
The factors above are not exhaustive, and new factors may emerge or changes to the foregoing factors may occur that could impact our business. We cannot guarantee that any forward-looking statement will be realized. Achievement of future results is subject to risks, uncertainties and potentially inaccurate assumptions. Many events beyond our control may determine whether results we anticipate will be achieved. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated,
estimated or projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the factors discussed under Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” You should bear this in mind as you consider forward-looking statements.
Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the document containing the applicable statement. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein, by these cautionary statements. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Nature of the Business
Universal Technical Institute, Inc., which together with its subsidiaries is referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us” or “our,” was founded in 1965 and is a leading workforce solutions provider of transportation, skilled trades and healthcare education programs, whose mission is to serve students, partners, and communities by providing quality education and support services for in-demand careers across a number of highly-skilled fields. We offer the majority of our programs in a blended learning model that combines instructor-facilitated online teaching and demonstrations with hands-on labs. As a result of the Concorde Career Colleges, Inc. acquisition on December 1, 2022 (the “Concorde Acquisition”), beginning with this reporting period we have two reportable segments as follows:
Universal Technical Institute (“UTI”): UTI operates 16 campuses located in nine states and offers a wide range of degree and non-degree transportation and skilled trades technical training programs under brands such as Universal Technical Institute, Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, Marine Mechanics Institute, NASCAR Technical Institute, and MIAT College of Technology (“MIAT”). UTI also offers manufacturer specific advanced training programs, which include student-paid electives, at our campuses and manufacturer or dealer sponsored training at certain campuses and dedicated training centers. Lastly, UTI provides dealer technician training or instructor staffing services to manufacturers. UTI works closely with over 35 original equipment manufacturers and industry brand partners to understand their needs for qualified service professionals.
Concorde Career Colleges (“Concorde”): Concorde operates across 17 campuses in eight states, offering degree, non-degree, and continuing education programs in the allied health, dental, nursing, patient care and diagnostic fields. Concorde believes in preparing students for their health care careers with practical, hands-on experiences including opportunities to learn while providing care to real patients. Prior to graduation, students will complete a number of hours in a clinical setting or externship, depending upon their program of study. We acquired Concorde on December 1, 2022. See Note 4 on “Acquisitions” for additional information.
“Corporate” includes corporate related expenses that are not allocated to the UTI or Concorde reportable segments. These costs were previously allocated across our former “Postsecondary Education” reportable segment and “Other” category based upon compensation expense. Additional information about our reportable segments is presented in Note 19.
Our primary source of revenues is currently tuition and fees paid by students. To pay for a substantial portion of their tuition, the majority of students rely on funds received from federal financial aid programs under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (“HEA”), as well as other federal programs. For further discussion, see Note 2 on “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Concentration of Risk” and Note 24 on “Government Regulation and Financial Aid” included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on December 12, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K”).
Note 2 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2023. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Universal Technical Institute, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Other than described below, there have been no material changes or developments in our significant accounting policies or evaluation of accounting estimates and underlying assumptions or methodologies from those disclosed in Note 2 of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
New Significant Accounting Policy for Retail Installment Contract Receivables
Concorde currently and historically offers certain students retail installment contracts for payment of their tuition that is not covered by federal student financial aid or other funding sources. The retail installment contracts are due to Concorde from current and former students and are generally due over a period of one to two years and bear interest ranging from 0 percent to 15 percent. Due to the fact that there is no interest imposed on certain of the retail installment contracts, primarily while students are actively completing their selected programs, we calculate the imputed interest expense on the retail installment contracts. However, the imputed interest expense is not considered material for such retail installment contracts and therefore not recorded. Retail installment contract receivables are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses that are not expected to be recovered. The allowance for credit losses is recognized at inception and is reassessed each reporting period. The short-term portion of the retail installment contract receivable and related allowance for credit losses are included in “Receivables, net” while the long-term portion of the retail installment contract receivable and related allowance for credit losses is presented in “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Reclassifications
As previously noted, as a result of the Concorde Acquisition, beginning with this reporting period we have two reportable segments: UTI and Concorde. Additionally, “Corporate” includes corporate related expenses that are not allocated to either the UTI or Concorde reportable segments. The segment disclosures presented in Note 19 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 have been revised from the prior year presentation to reflect the new reportable segments.
Additionally, starting with the three months ended December 31, 2022, we have reclassified “Accrued tool sets” into “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” for reporting purposes. As of September 30, 2022, $3.2 million was reclassified from “Accrued tool sets” to “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for comparable presentation. The breakout of accrued tool sets is now disclosed in Note 12. Further, the activity related to the accrued tool sets balance is now reported in the “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” line on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended December 31, 2022. We reclassified $0.5 million from “Accrued tool sets” to “Accounts payable and other accrued expenses” on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flow for the three months ended December 31, 2021 for comparable presentation.
Note 3 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective in Fiscal 2023
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. This new guidance only applies to contracts and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. An entity may elect to apply the amendments for contract modifications as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 do not apply to contract modifications made after December 31, 2022. Given the interest rate for our Avondale term loan (which is further described in Note 13) references LIBOR, we are currently evaluating the new reference rate reform practical expedients and will consider adopting this guidance when we are required to modify our contract for the discontinuation of LIBOR. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset date of Topic 848 (ASU 2022-06), the amendment in this update defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848.

Note 4 - Acquisitions
Concorde Career Colleges
On December 1, 2022, we completed the Concorde Acquisition. Concorde operates 17 campuses across eight states with approximately 7,600 students, and offers its programs via in-person, hybrid and online formats. Concorde offers more than 20 programs across the allied health, dental, nursing, patient care, and diagnostic fields. The acquisition expands our portfolio of offerings into the higher-growth healthcare arena and creates the opportunity to bring workforce educational solutions to a broader array of students and employers.
Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 3, 2022, by and among the Company, Concorde, Liberty Partners Holdings 28, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, and Liberty Investment IIC, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (each a “Seller,” and collectively, the “Sellers”); and Liberty Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, in its capacity as a representative of the Sellers, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Concorde for a base purchase price of $50.0 million, less $1.3 million of net adjustments, for total cash consideration paid of $48.7 million. The final cash consideration paid is subject to closing working capital and other customary adjustments. As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Concorde is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. We funded the consideration paid for the Concorde Acquisition by the Credit Facility entered into on November 18, 2022. (See Note 13 for further details on the Credit Facility)
In connection with the Concorde Acquisition, we incurred total transaction costs of $3.8 million, of which $3.0 million was incurred during the year ended September 30, 2022 and $0.8 million was incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2022. These costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the applicable period.
Allocation of the purchase price
Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on our preliminary valuation estimates of the fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair value and allocation of the business combination are preliminary, are based upon management’s best estimates and assumptions, and are subject to future revision. We will continue our analysis under the provisions of ASC 805 which allows companies one year to complete acquisition related adjustments which may result in potential adjustments to the carrying value of the respective recorded assets and liabilities, and the determination of any residual amount that will be allocated to goodwill.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price at December 1, 2022 is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Assets acquired: | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 30,064 | |
Restricted cash | | 1,689 | |
Accounts receivable, net | | 10,814 | |
| | |
Prepaid expenses | | 3,490 | |
Other current assets | | 828 | |
Property and equipment | | 26,829 | |
Right-of-use assets for operating leases | | 71,912 | |
Goodwill | | 10,133 | |
Intangible assets | | 4,800 | |
Deferred tax assets | | 3,799 | |
Other assets | | 4,997 | |
Total assets acquired | | $ | 169,355 | |

Operating lease liability | | 70,801 | |
| | |
Total liabilities assumed | | 120,629 | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 48,726 | |
(1) Long-term debt consists of one lease classified as a finance lease under ASC 842.
Due to the timing of the acquisition, the following are considered preliminary and are subject to change:
•amounts for intangible assets, property and equipment, other current assets, current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities pending finalization of the valuation;
•amounts for operating and finance lease assets and liabilities pending finalization of the valuation due to changes in the incremental borrowing rates;
•amounts for income tax liabilities, pending finalization of estimates and assumptions in respect of certain tax aspects of the transaction; and
•amount of goodwill pending the completion of the valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The Company will finalize these amounts no later than one year from the acquisition date, once it obtains the information necessary to complete the measurement process. Any changes resulting from facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date may result in adjustments to the preliminary amounts disclosed above which may impact the reported results in the period those adjustments are identified.
The goodwill of $10.1 million, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, was all assigned to the Concorde reporting unit and reportable segment (see Note 19). None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill includes Concorde’s strategic fit into our growth and diversification strategy, which is focused on offering a broader array of high-quality, in-demand workforce education solutions which both prepare students for a variety of careers in fast-growing fields and help close the country's skills gap by leveraging key industry partnerships.
The purchase price allocation requires subjective estimates that, if incorrectly estimated, could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements including the amount of depreciation and amortization expense. The fair value of the property and equipment was estimated using the cost and market approaches as of the valuation date. The fair value of the leases were estimated using the income and market approaches to determine if there was any favorable or unfavorable terms in place. The intangible assets acquired, which primarily consists of the accreditations and regulatory approvals, trademarks and trade names, and curriculum, were valued using different valuation techniques depending upon the nature of the intangible asset acquired, all of which are considered level 3 as defined in Note 7. The accreditations and regulatory approvals were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. The MPEEM is a variation of discounted cash-flow analysis. Rather than focusing on the whole entity, the MPEEM isolates the cash flows that can be associated with a single intangible asset and measures fair value by discounting them to present value. The trademarks and trade names were valued using the relief from royalty method. The value of the trade name encompasses all items necessary to generate revenue utilizing the trade name. The curriculum was valued using the cost approach. The table below presents a summary of the intangible assets acquired and the useful lives of these assets:

Student receivables
When financial assets are acquired in connection with a business combination we evaluate whether those acquired financial assets have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. Financial assets acquired with evidence of such credit deterioration are referred to as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) assets and reflect the acquirer’s assessment at the acquisition date. The student receivables acquired in the Concorde Acquisition were reviewed to determine if any had experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination. Student receivables of approximately $2.3 million met the established criteria to indicate a more-than an insignificant deterioration in credit quality and were identified as PCD assets. Using our best estimate of projected losses over the term of the contracts, we calculated an allowance for credit losses on these PCD assets of approximately $1.0 million.
Pro forma financial information
The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes our results of operations as though the acquisition occurred on October 1, 2022:

Revenue | | $ | 156,025 | | | $ | 155,196 | |
Net income | | 2,941 | | | 17,193 | |
The unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to reflect the additional amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets and the finance lease asset had been applied from October 1, 2021, with the related tax effects. The unaudited pro forma financial information also includes adjustments to reflect the additional interest expense on the new revolving credit facility issued to fund the acquisition (see Note 13 for further details on the Credit Facility). Lastly, the unaudited pro forma financial information includes adjustments to reflect the reduction in depreciation expense assuming the fair value adjustments to property and equipment assets had been applied from October 1, 2021.
This unaudited pro forma financial information is for informational purposes only. It does not reflect the integration of the business or any synergies or incremental costs that may result from the acquisition. As such, it is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated on October 1, 2022. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information amounts are not indicative of future operating results.
MIAT College of Technology
On November 1, 2021, using available operating cash, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of MIAT for $26.0 million base purchase price plus $2.8 million working capital surplus for total cash consideration paid of $28.8 million. MIAT is a post-secondary school that offers vocational and technical certificates and degrees across aviation maintenance, energy technology, wind energy technology, robotics and automation, non-destructive testing, heating ventilation air conditioning and refrigeration, and welding disciplines.

The acquisition, as part of our growth and diversification strategy, allows us to expand MIAT programs throughout UTI brand campuses and extend UTI’s presence and programs into the Canton, Michigan market where MIAT has been for over 50 years. Other expected synergies include operating and purchasing cost efficiencies and broadening the opportunity for student growth at the acquired MIAT campuses by leveraging our high school and national marketing and admissions infrastructure.
In connection with this acquisition, we incurred total transaction costs of $1.7 million of which $0.9 million were incurred during the year ended September 30, 2022 and $0.8 million during the year ended September 30, 2021. These costs are included in “Selling, general and administrative” expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the applicable period.
The final allocation of the purchase price at November 1, 2021 is summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Assets acquired: | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 2,301 | |
Accounts receivable, net | | 3,230 | |

Total liabilities assumed | | 20,664 | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 28,815 | |
The goodwill of $8.6 million arising from the acquisition consists largely of the growth and operating synergies expected from integrating MIAT into UTI. The total amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is approximately $0.6 million. See Note 9 for additional details on goodwill.
The accreditations and regulatory approvals were valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”) under the income approach. The trademarks and trade names were valued using the relief from royalty method. The curriculum was valued using the cost approach.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 2022, in conjunction with our growth and diversification initiatives, we completed a branding study and determined that the useful life of the MIAT trademarks and trade name was no longer indefinite and a four-year finite useful life was more appropriate. We completed the required impairment testing when changing from an indefinite to a finite useful life for an intangible asset and determined that the carrying value of the MIAT trademarks and trade name exceeded its fair value. We determined the fair value of intangible asset to be $1.0 million as of September 30, 2022 using the relief from royalty method and recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $2.0 million during the year ended September 30, 2022.
Pro forma financial information is not presented as the fiscal 2021 revenues and earnings of MIAT were not material to our condensed consolidated statements of operations. MIAT is included in the “UTI” reporting unit and reportable segment disclosed in Note 19 on Segments.
Note 5 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Nature of Goods and Services
Revenues across UTI and Concorde consist primarily of student tuition and fees derived from the programs we provide after reductions are made for discounts and scholarships that we sponsor and for refunds for students who withdraw from our programs prior to specified dates. We apply the five-step model outlined in ASC 606. Tuition and fee revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the course or program offered.
The majority of the UTI programs are designed to be completed in 36 to 90 weeks while the MIAT programs are completed in 28 to 96 weeks. The UTI advanced training programs range from 12 to 23 weeks in duration. UTI also provides dealer technician training or instructor staffing services to manufacturers. Revenues are recognized as transfer of the services occurs.
The majority of Concorde’s core programs are nine to ten months in duration and are billed in full at the start of the program. Clinical programs are 12 to 24 month programs that are billed by academic term. Clinical programs may have up to nine academic terms that last two to three months.
In addition to revenue from tuition and fees, UTI and Concorde derive supplemental revenues from sales of textbooks and program supplies and other revenues, which are recognized as the transfer of goods or services occurs. Deferred revenue represents the excess of tuition and fee payments received as compared to tuition and fees earned and is reflected as a current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheets because it is expected to be earned within the next 12 months.
All of our revenues are generated within the United States. The impact of economic factors on the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows is consistent across our various programs for both UTI and Concorde. See Note 19 for disaggregated segment revenue information.
Proprietary Loan Program Notes Receivable
Certain UTI students participate in a proprietary loan program that extends repayment terms for their tuition beyond the time that they are in school. We purchase said loans from the lender. Based on historical collection rates, we believe at least a portion of these loans are collectible. Accordingly, we recognize tuition and loan origination fees financed by the loan and any related interest revenue under the effective interest method required under the loan based on the amount we expect to collect, and we recognize these revenues ratably over the term of the course or program offered. These amounts are presented as “Notes receivable, current portion” and “Notes receivable, less current portion” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Retail Installment Contract Receivables
Concorde currently and historically offers certain students retail installment contracts for payment of their tuition that are not covered by federal student financial aid or other funding sources. The retail installment contracts are due to Concorde from current and former students and are generally due over a period of one to two years and bear interest ranging from 0 percent to 15 percent. Due to the fact that there is no interest imposed on certain of the retail installment contracts, primarily while students are actively completing their selected programs, we calculate the imputed interest expense on the retail installment contracts. However, the imputed interest expense is not considered material for such retail installment contracts and therefore not recorded. The short-term portion of the retail installment contract receivable and related allowance for credit losses are included in “Receivables, net” while the long-term portion of the retail installment contract receivable and related allowance for credit losses is presented in “Other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Contract Balances
Contract assets primarily relate to our rights to consideration for a student’s progress through our training program in relation to our services performed but not billed at the reporting date. The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights become unconditional. Currently, we do not have any contract assets that have not transferred to a receivable. Our deferred revenue is considered a contract liability and primarily relates to our enrollment agreements where we received payments for tuition, but we have not yet delivered the related training programs to satisfying the related performance obligations. The advance consideration received from students or Title IV funding is deferred revenue until the training program has been delivered to the students.
The following table provides information about receivables and deferred revenue resulting from our enrollment agreements with students: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, 2022 | | September 30, 2022 |
Receivables (1) | | $ | 56,234 | | | $ | 46,826 | |
Deferred revenue | | 75,328 | | | 54,223 | |
(1) Receivables includes tuition receivables, retail installment contract receivables and notes receivable, both current and long term.
During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the deferred revenue balance included decreases for revenues recognized during the period and increases related to new students who started their training programs during the period and the addition of deferred revenue from the Concorde Acquisition.
Note 6 - Investments
In July 2022, we invested a portion of our cash and cash equivalents in short-term investments which primarily consist of corporate and municipal bonds with a minimum credit rating of A. We had the ability and intention to hold these investments until maturity and therefore classified these investments as held-to-maturity and recorded them at amortized cost and presented them in “Held-to-maturity investments” on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022. As of December 31, 2022, there were no outstanding held-to-maturity investments as all of the securities matured and there were no new purchases of held-to-maturity investments during the three months ended December 31, 2022.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains or losses, and fair value of investments classified as held-to-maturity at September 30, 2022 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Investments are exposed to various risks, including interest rate, market and credit risk. As a result, it is possible that changes in the values of these investments may occur and that such changes could affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 7 - Fair Value Measurements
The accounting framework for determining fair value includes a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to measure fair value, which enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of three tiers:
Level 1: Defined as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Defined as inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3: Defined as unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
Any transfers of investments between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period. Assets measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Note 9 - Goodwill
Our goodwill balance of $27.0 million as of December 31, 2022 represents the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The changes in the carrying value of goodwill are presented in the table below.

Amortization expense for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $120 thousand and $20 thousand, respectively. The increase in the amortization expense during the three months ended December 31, 2022, which is not considered material to the condensed consolidated financial statements, was due to the intangible assets acquired with the Concorde Acquisition.
Of the $19.4 million recorded as intangible assets as of December 31, 2022, $4.8 million relates to the Concorde Acquisition, $14.2 million relates to the MIAT acquisition completed on November 1, 2021, and $0.4 million relates to previously recorded non-compete agreements and trade names. The remaining weighted average useful lives shown are calculated based on the net book value and remaining amortization period of each respective intangible asset. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the related assets. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment as of August 1, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. There were no indicators of impairment for our indefinite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2022.
