GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

NOTE 2: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We test goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives for potential impairment annually, or more frequently when there are events or circumstances that indicate it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we evaluated such events and circumstances and concluded there was an indicator of impairment due to a decline in our market capitalization. We performed a quantitative analysis as of March 31, 2020 utilizing the income approach. The income approach is based on the present value of future cash flows, which are derived from our long-term financial forecasts, and requires significant assumptions, including, among others, a discount rate and terminal value. There is inherent uncertainty associated with these key assumptions including the duration of the economic downturn associated with COVID-19 and the recovery period. As a result of our quantitative analysis, we determined the fair value of each of our reporting units was below its carrying value because of the impact of COVID-19, including a significant decline in pawn loan balances due to changes in typical customer behavior and mandated store closures in our GPMX countries. These factors impacted the forecast of future net revenues and earnings and resulted in lower present value of future cash flows. This led to a goodwill impairment charge of $41.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. In addition, we (a) determined an impairment had occurred in the fair values of acquired trade names of previously acquired entities in our Mexico and GPMX reporting units and recorded a related impairment of $2.9 million and $1.7 million respectively, and (b) determined the carrying amount of certain long-lived asset groups were not recoverable and recorded a related impairment of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. These impairments were recorded under "Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets" in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We further evaluated events and circumstances as of June 30, 2020 and determined there were no impairment indicators. We will continue to evaluate our goodwill and intangible assets in future quarters, and note that we could be required to record additional impairments based on events and circumstances.
