The Company recognized an impairment with respect to its FirstPro reporting unit of $2,969 during the quarter ended March 28, 2020. The impairment resulted from a continued decline in that reporting unit’s revenue which experienced significant and prolonged declines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To determine the impairment, the Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples), income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) and prevailing market conditions to derive the fair value of the reporting unit. Under ASU 2017-04, which the Company early adopted, the impairment amount represents the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the reporting unit.

 

In Q3 2020, the Company determined that the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is a triggering event for certain reporting units. The Company employed a combination of market approach (valuations using comparable company multiples) and income approach (discounted cash flow analysis) to derive the fair value of the reporting unit.

 

No impairments to goodwill were recognized during the quarter ended September 26, 2020, however, in the case of one reporting unit, the fair value exceeded the carrying value by a minimal percentage. This reporting unit has goodwill of $14.2 million and an estimated fair value that exceeds its carrying value by 2.4%. Goodwill for this reporting units should be considered at risk given the approximation of the estimated fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. In the assumptions utilized by management, declines to revenue are expected to continue in the fourth quarter of 2020 and then improve in future years with modest growth rates. Management has made assumptions regarding partial recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022. The assumed discount rate utilized in the income approach model was considered to be commensurate with the estimation uncertainty for this reporting unit. If the assumptions utilized by management are not achieved and declines to operations are greater than anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2020 while failing to achieve growth in future periods as a result of the prolonged impact of COVID-19 pandemic  an impairment to goodwill could be recorded and such amount could be material to the financial statements. A reduction in the projected long-term operating performance of this reporting unit, market declines, changes in discount rates or other conditions could result in a material impairment in the future.
