Goodwill and Intangible Assets

9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company conducts an annual impairment review of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets in October of each year, unless events occur which trigger the need for an interim impairment review.  The 2019 annual goodwill impairment review indicated that the JVS reporting unit’s fair value exceeded its carrying value by less than 10%. All other reporting units had fair values that exceeded their carrying value by 10% or more.

The Company considered the recent economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to be a triggering event for the JVS business unit and, as a result, the Company performed an interim impairment review. As a result of both the COVID-19 related economic downturn and its impact on JVS’s anticipated financial results, the Company concluded that it is more likely than not that the JVS reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value and performed an interim impairment review for both JVS’s goodwill and tradename intangible asset. As a result of the interim impairment testing performed, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $8.4 million and $139.1 million for indefinite-lived intangible assets and goodwill, respectively.  

 

The Company estimated the fair value of the JVS reporting unit using both the discounted cash flow model and the market approach. The Company estimated the value of JVS’s indefinite-lived tradename intangible asset using a discounted cash flow model.  The determination of the fair value using the discounted cash flow model requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasts of future revenues, profit margins, and discount rates. The determination of the fair value using the market approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples. The Company estimates future cash flows based upon historical results and current market projections, discounted at a market comparable rate.

 

Key assumptions developed by management and used in the interim quantitative analysis included the following:

 

 

Near-term revenue declines in 2020;

 

 

Adjusted profit margins over the projection period, due to revenue adjustments and maintained investment in the business; and

 

 

Market-based discount rates.

 

 

Reduced EBITDA multiple, due to current market conditions.

 

Depending on its duration and the severity of its economic impact, the COVID-19 pandemic may trigger additional interim impairment reviews in future periods.

The change in Cost of Trademarks and tradenames is a result of the $8.4 million impairment charge in the quarter-ended March 31, 2020 related to the JVS reporting unit.

 

The Company recorded $17.5 million and $17.8 million of amortization expense in the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets is approximately $52.6 million for the remainder of 2020, $70.7 million in each of the next four years and then $858.6 million thereafter.
