Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquired businesses over the fair value of identifiable net assets assumed in a business combination. Goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually, on a reporting unit basis, or more frequently when events and circumstances occur indicating that the recorded goodwill may be impaired. Reporting units are one level below the business segment level but can be combined when reporting units within the same segment have similar economic characteristics. The Company operates within a single operating segment with one reporting unit. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is subjective and requires significant judgment at many points during the analysis. If the book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the implied fair value of goodwill is compared with the carrying amount of goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recorded in an amount equal to that excess. See Note 9 regarding assessment of the Company’s goodwill in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets including property and equipment and long-lived amortizable intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic No. 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, (ASC 360). ASC 360 requires companies to assess whether indicators of impairment are present on a periodic basis. If such indicators are present, ASC 360 prescribes a two-step impairment test: (i) if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable based on its undiscounted future cash flows, then (ii) the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the asset based on the forecasted discounted cash flows of the asset. See Note 12 for details regarding an impairment assessment of the Company’s long-lived assets, including right-of-use-assets, in the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Restructuring

Restructuring

The Company records charges associated with approved restructuring plans to reorganize operations, to improve the efficiency of business processes, or to remove redundant headcount. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specific number of employees, associated legal fees and contract cancellation costs. The Company records restructuring charges when they are probable and estimable. The Company accrues for severance and other employee separation costs under these plans when employees accept the separation offers, and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The Company implemented a restructuring plan (as defined herein) during the three months ended September 30, 2022 details of which are discussed in Note 17.
