Impairment Assessments. We perform our annual assessment of possible impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of October 1, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred.
During 2023, due to trivago’s recent strategic shift which included intensifying its brand marketing investments with an anticipated decrease in profitability, in addition to our annual assessment, we deemed it necessary to perform an interim assessment of goodwill and intangible assets. As a result of the assessment during the third quarter of 2023, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $297 million related to our trivago segment as well as intangible impairment charges of $15 million related to indefinite-lived trade name within our trivago segment. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2023, we recognized intangible impairment charges of $114 million related to indefinite-lived trade names within our B2C segment.
During 2022, we recognized intangible impairment charges of $81 million related to an indefinite-lived trade name within our trivago segment. During 2021, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $14 million.
