During the annual impairment test as of July 1, 2022, the Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis using the income approach by preparing a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the reporting unit’s fair value. The discounted cash flow analysis included key assumptions such as the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC), long-term growth rate and projected operating results such as approved policies, lifetime value of commissions, contract acquisition costs, operating expenses, collections of renewal commissions receivable, and utilization of net operating losses for income tax purposes. We did not utilize a market approach as part of the quantitative impairment analysis as we believe management’s expectations of the cash flow generated by the reporting unit were more relevant in determining fair value given inherent limitations in the credibility of available peer company data. The measurement of the reporting unit’s fair value is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement given the significance of the unobservable inputs such as forecasted operating results and discount rates.

 

After the fair value of the reporting unit was determined, the Company calculated its carrying value by taking the reporting unit’s assets minus its liabilities. The carrying value of the reporting unit was then compared to its fair value to determine the extent of any goodwill impairment. Based on this analysis, we recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $60.0 million during 2022, which represents the excess of the Senior Health reporting unit’s carrying value over its estimated fair value at July 1, 2022. The goodwill impairment charge recognized did not impact the Company’s income tax expense as the goodwill acquired from the Acquisition does not have any tax basis. The decline in the reporting unit's fair value below its carrying value was primarily attributable to an increase in the market-based WACC used to discount the forecasted cash flows. The increase in the WACC was driven by recent increases in the equity market risk premium and higher interest rates. The determination of whether the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value involves a high degree of estimation and can be affected by a number of industry and company-specific risk factors that are subject to change over time.

 

At December 31, 2022, the Company had goodwill of $127.7 million in its Senior Health reporting unit after accumulated goodwill impairment charges since the Acquisition Date of $136.0 million.
