5. GOODWILL AND DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is reviewed at least annually in the fourth quarter of each year using data as of December 31 of that year, or earlier if an event occurs or circumstances change and there is an indication of impairment. The Company determined, due to lower than expected second quarter results and the resulting impact on future forecasts, that there was an indication of impairment for both the Specialty and PBM segments and, as a result, tested goodwill in the interim period at June 30, 2019 at the reporting unit level. The impairment test consists of comparing a reporting unit’s

fair value to its carrying value. Based on the interim impairment test as of June 30, 2019, the Company determined that the fair value of the Diplomat Specialty Pharmacy (“DSP”) and PBM reporting units were less than their respective carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded total non-cash impairment charges of $122,891 to goodwill and $17,979 to definite-lived intangible assets.

The estimated fair value for each of the reporting units was determined using the income approach. With the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. We use our internal forecasts to estimate future cash flows and include an estimate of long-term growth rates based on our most recent views of the long-term outlook for each reporting unit. Such projections contain management’s best estimates of growth rates in revenue and costs and future expected changes in operating margins and cash expenditures, which are based on factors including our best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period. Our projection of estimated operating results and cash flows are discounted using a weighted average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions appropriate to each reporting unit. The discount rate is sensitive to changes in interest rates and other market rates in place at the time the assessment is performed. The discount rates used in the reporting unit valuations as of June 30, 2019 were 10.5% for the DSP reporting unit and 11.75% for the PBM reporting unit.

For the DSP reporting unit, as of and for the second quarter of 2019, the Company experienced lower than expected results, which have impacted the outlook for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020. The lowered outlook for the DSP reporting unit includes slower than anticipated brand to generic conversions and delays in the release of generic versions of certain drugs which tend to provide higher margin contribution. Additionally, anticipated cost savings are running behind forecast primarily due to delays in the implementation of ScriptMed, our new specialty operating platform and while the previous outlook assumed additional investment in the Company’s payor sales team would have resulted in new business opportunities that would offset anticipated negative impacts to volume, the Company has seen limited impacts from this investment on 2019 results through June 30, 2019. Lastly, while it was believed the business environment would stabilize, the Company continues to see volumes in our DSP reporting unit business being negatively impacted by member channel management and increased competition from larger, vertically-integrated peers and a reimbursement environment in specialty pharmacy that is driving continued downward pressure on margins. As such, these conditions resulted in downward revisions of the forecasts on current and future projected earnings and cash flows from the DSP reporting unit.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment of $68,218 for the Specialty segment, all of which was allocated solely to the DSP reporting unit. The non-cash impairment charge is not deductible for income tax purposes. The impairment loss is recorded in the caption “Goodwill impairments” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. After the impairment charge, the adjusted carrying value of the Specialty segment goodwill was $272,442 at June 30, 2019, of which zero was allocated to the DSP reporting unit.

The goodwill in the PBM segment was recorded as a result of two separately acquired entities (i) Pharmaceutical Technologies, Inc. d/b/a National Pharmaceutical Services, acquired in November 27, 2017, and (ii) LDI Holding Company, LLC, acquired December 20, 2017.

For the PBM reporting unit, in the second quarter of 2019, the Company experienced lower than expected results driven by continued business losses and lower earned rebates due to drug mix and slightly lower rebate retention. These lower than expected results resulted in downward revisions of the forecasts on current and future projected earnings and cash flows of the PBM reporting unit and a more conservative outlook in 2020 and beyond.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment of $54,673 for the PBM segment, which is not deductible for income tax purposes. The impairment loss is recorded in the caption “Goodwill impairment” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. After the impairment charge, the adjusted carrying value of the PBM segment goodwill was $214,121 at June 30, 2019.

Also, the Company in connection with the goodwill impairment analysis assessed whether the carrying amounts of the reporting units long-lived assets may not be recoverable and therefore may be impaired. To assess the recoverability at the DSP reporting unit and PBM segment asset group level, the undiscounted cash flows of the DSP and PBM businesses were analyzed over a range of potential remaining useful lives. As a result, the Company determined that certain trade

names and trademarks, certain customer and physician relationships in the DSP and PBM reporting units and certain non-compete employment agreements in its DSP reporting unit were not recoverable and were impaired. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $16,772 to therefore fully impair the remaining intangible assets at the DSP reporting unit, which is part of the Specialty segment, and an impairment loss of $1,207 to further impair those intangible assets at the PBM reporting unit, which is the only reporting unit in the PBM segment.
