As part of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment analysis, we determined the fair value of goodwill utilizing a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis incorporating variables such as revenue projections, projected operating cash flow margins, and discount rates, as well as a market based approach employing comparable sales analysis. The valuation assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model reflect historical performance of the Company and prevailing values in the broadcast and cable markets as well as the extent of the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic and the expected timing of recovery. The result of our annual impairment test indicated that the carrying amount of the Snap reporting unit exceeded the fair value primarily due to the economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the expected timing of recovery, and the expected growth of the business. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $1.7 million, which was presented as impairment of goodwill and intangibles in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company determined that the goodwill impairment was an indicator of impairment under ASC 360. As result, the Company performed a recoverability test for the other finite lived intangible assets of Snap to determine whether an impairment loss should be measured. The undiscounted cash flows in the recoverability test of Snap’s other finite lived intangible assets was less than the carrying value. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we calculated the fair value of the other finite lived intangible assets using a discounted cash flow model and recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million to the customer relationships intangible asset, which was presented as impairment of goodwill and intangibles in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. No impairment charges were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2019.
