4.  Impairment Charges

During fiscal 2020, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were evident at all asset groups. For certain of the theatre asset groups evaluated for impairment, the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to these assets was less than their carrying amounts. The Company evaluated the fair value of the assets, consisting primarily of land, building, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets less lease obligations, and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (using estimated discounted cash flows over the life of the primary assets, including estimated sale proceeds) was less than their carrying value and recorded impaired losses of $22,076,000, reducing certain property and equipment and certain operating lease right-of-use assets. The remaining net book value of all impaired assets was $33,313,000 as of December 31, 2020, excluding any applicable remaining lease obligations.

4. Impairment Charges (continued)

In fiscal 2020, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were evident related to its trade name intangible asset. The Company estimated the fair value of its trade name intangible asset using an income approach, specifically the relief from royalty method, which uses certain assumptions that are Level 3 pricing inputs, including future revenues attributable to the trade name, a royalty rate (1.0% as of December 31, 2020) and a discount rate (17.0% as of December 31, 2020). During fiscal 2020, the Company determined that the fair value of the asset was less than the carrying value and recorded a $2,600,000 impairment loss. The fair value of the trade name intangible asset was $6,900,000 as of December 31, 2020.

In fiscal 2019, the Company determined that indicators of impairment were evident at a specific theatre location and that the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to this asset was less than its carrying amount. As such, the Company evaluated the ongoing value of this asset and determined that the fair value, measured using Level 3 pricing inputs (estimated cash flows including estimated sales proceeds), was less than its carrying value and recorded a $1,874,000 impairment loss. The fair value of the impaired asset was $808,000 as of December 26, 2019.
