Goodwill

The Company had goodwill of $609.5 million, net of $712.8 million accumulated impairment loss, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020, $44.0 million of this goodwill was deductible for income tax purposes.

Management performs its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1 or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company determined that a goodwill impairment evaluation triggering event occurred due to the economic downturn caused by COVID-19. As of March 31, 2020, the Company performed its goodwill impairment test at the reporting unit level which is consistent with its reportable segments, Marketing Services and SaaS. After performing this interim review for impairment, both Marketing Services and SaaS reporting units continued to have estimated fair values greater than their respective carrying values.

The Company performed a quantitative assessment as of October 1, 2020 and determined that no impairment existed. Additionally, the Company concluded that an impairment triggering event did not occur during the three months ended December 31, 2020.

In the third quarter of 2019, the Company changed its reporting structure from one to two reporting units. Accordingly, the Company first assessed its goodwill for impairment under one reporting unit structure as of October 1, 2019. Upon completion of this assessment, the Company determined that no impairment existed. Subsequent to this review and after allocating goodwill to the new reporting units based on relative fair value, the Company reassessed goodwill for impairment at the new reporting unit level (Marketing Services and SaaS reporting units). Based upon each of these assessments, the Company determined no impairment existed for either reporting unit.

No goodwill impairment charges were recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
