As a result of the continued decline in the price of the Company’s common shares in the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company determined there to be an indicator of impairment for the cannabis operations reporting unit in the global cannabis segment, which was a reportable segment in the three months ended June 30, 2022. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative interim goodwill impairment assessment for the cannabis operations reporting unit as of June 30, 2022. The Company concluded that the carrying value of the cannabis operations reporting unit was higher than its estimated fair value, and a goodwill impairment loss totaling $1,725,368 was recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing the entirety of the goodwill assigned to the cannabis operations reporting unit.

 

The estimated fair value of the cannabis operations reporting unit was determined using the market valuation method, which is consistent with the methodology used by the Company for its annual impairment test conducted at March 31, 2022. The most significant assumptions used in applying this method were (i) the price of the Company’s common shares; and (ii) the estimated control premium associated with ownership of the Company’s common shares.

 

While the Company changed its reportable segments in the three months ended September 30, 2022 (refer to Note 27), there were no changes to the composition of the Company's reporting units to which goodwill remains assigned at September 30, 2022. In the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company determined there to be indicators of impairment for one of its other reporting units as slower growth rates resulted in updated long-term financial forecasts indicating lower forecasted revenue and cash flow generation. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test for the reporting unit as of September 30, 2022 and concluded that the carrying value of the reporting unit was higher than its estimated fair value, as determined using the income valuation method. The Company recognized a goodwill impairment loss totaling $2,311 in the three months ended September 30, 2022, representing the entirety of the goodwill assigned to the reporting unit.

 

For the remaining reporting units, the Company does not believe that an event occurred or circumstances changed during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of these reporting units below their carrying value. Therefore, the Company concluded that the quantitative goodwill impairment assessment was not required for the remaining reporting units at September 30, 2022. The carrying value of goodwill associated with all other reporting units was $136,513 at September 30, 2022.

 

The Company is required to perform its next annual goodwill impairment analysis on March 31, 2023, or earlier should there be an event that occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount.
