The annual evaluation of the Company’s goodwill, by segment, is typically performed as of October 1, the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.  

During the second quarter of 2018, based upon the results of step 1 of the goodwill impairment test in accordance with ASC 350 for the women’s segment, the Company noted that the carrying value of the women’s segment exceeded its fair value after first reflecting the impairment of the Mossimo trademark as discussed below.  In accordance with step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $37.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, which is due to the projected decline in royalties associated with the license agreements for the Mossimo brand.

In July 2018, the Company purchased an additional 5% ownership interest in Iconix Australia from its joint venture partner.  As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded goodwill of less than $0.1 million.  Refer to Note 5 for further details.

The trademarks of Candie’s, Bongo, Joe Boxer, Rampage, Mudd, London Fog, Mossimo, Ocean Pacific, Danskin, Rocawear, Cannon, Royal Velvet, Fieldcrest, Charisma, Starter, Waverly, Ecko, Zoo York, Ed Hardy, Umbro, Modern Amusement, Buffalo, Lee Cooper, Hydraulic and Pony have been determined to have an indefinite useful life.  Each of these intangible assets are tested for impairment annually and as needed on an individual basis as separate single units of accounting representing domestic and various international assets, with any related impairment charge recorded to the income statement at the time of determining such impairment. The annual evaluation of the Company’s indefinite-lived trademarks is typically performed as of October 1, the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter.

 

As of September 30, 2018, given the ongoing financial distress of Sears’ Holding Corporation (“Sears”) and its continuing liquidity challenges, the Company conducted an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test in accordance with ASC 350 for the Joe Boxer, Cannon and Bongo trademarks whose future revenues and earnings are either exclusively or heavily dependent on the existing license agreements with Sears.  As part of its indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test for the Joe Boxer, Cannon and Bongo trademarks, the Company developed a number of potential scenarios of the future forecasted cash flows of the Joe Boxer, Cannon and Bongo trademarks in the event of a potential bankruptcy filing by Sears and applied a probability of occurrence to each potential scenario.  As a result, based on the indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $4.4 million in the Current Quarter to reduce the Joe Boxer trademark to fair value.  The fair value of the Bongo and Cannon trademarks remained above their current book value and thus no impairment charge was recorded.  On October 15, 2018, Sears filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.  The Company will continue to monitor the Sears bankruptcy proceeding.  As new and additional information is learned about the Sears bankruptcy filing, the Company will update its forecasted future earnings for the Joe Boxer, Cannon and Bongo brands as is deemed necessary.  At this time, the Company is uncertain of the outcome of the Sears bankruptcy filing and how it could affect the future revenues and cash flows of these brands as well as if any future indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charge for these trademarks is expected.  Refer to Note 22 for further details.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company revised its forecasted future earnings for the Mossimo brand and accordingly, conducted an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test in accordance with ASC 350.  Consequently, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $73.3 million in the Current Nine Months in the women segment to reduce the Mossimo trademark to fair value.  

 

In accordance with ASC 360, there were no impairment charges to the Company’s definite-lived trademarks during the Current Nine Months or Prior Year Nine Months.

 

During the Current Nine Months, the Company completed the sale of the Badgley Mischka and Sharper Image intellectual property and related assets from the Iconix Southeast Asia, Iconix MENA, Iconix Europe and Iconix Australia joint ventures.  Refer to Note 6 for further details.

 

During the Current Quarter, the Company purchased an additional 5% ownership interest in Iconix Australia which resulted in the Company consolidating the entity on its condensed consolidated balance sheet and the statement of operations for the Current Quarter.  As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded $12.3 million of trademarks on its condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Refer to Note 5 for further details.

Other amortizable intangibles primarily include non-compete agreements and contracts, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 1 to 15 years. Certain trademarks are amortized using estimated useful lives of 10 to 15 years with no residual values.

Amortization expense for intangible assets for the Current Quarter was less than $0.1 million as compared to amortization expense for intangible assets of approximately $0.2 million for the Prior Year Quarter.  Amortization expense for intangible assets for the Current Nine Months was approximately $0.2 million as compared to amortization expense for intangible assets of $0.6 million for the Prior Year Nine Months.
