2021 Annual Impairment Testing

For 2021, in assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2021 using October 1st, 2021 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and a quantitative assessment for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin & Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Professional Portfolio and (iv) Fragrances reporting units. The Mass Portfolio reporting unit's goodwill was written down to nil during the first quarter of 2020.
In performing its 2021 annual qualitative goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of the Revlon reporting unit, expected future cash flows and the results of previous quantitative assessments of the Revlon reporting unit. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Revlon reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount for 2021.
In performing its 2021 quantitative goodwill assessments, the Company used the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04 to test its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Professional Portfolio and (iv) Fragrances reporting units for impairment. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of such aforementioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for 2021.

Consequently, no impairment changes were recognized during the 2021 annual goodwill impairment assessment test.

2020 Interim Goodwill Assessments

As of March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, as a result of COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s operations, the Company determined that indicators of potential impairment existed requiring the Company to perform interim goodwill impairment analyses. These indicators included a deterioration in the general economic conditions, adverse developments in equity and credit markets, deterioration in some of the economic channels in which the Company's operates (especially in the mass retail channel), the recent trading values of the Company's capital stock and the corresponding decline in the Company’s market capitalization and the revision of the Company's internal forecasts as a result of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

For its first and second quarter of 2020 interim assessments, the Company examined and performed quantitative interim goodwill impairment assessments for all its reporting units, namely: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; (iii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (iv) Fragrances; (v) Mass Portfolio; and (vi) Professional Portfolio.

For the first quarter of 2020, as of March 31, 2020:

The Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of each of its: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; and (iii) Fragrances reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for the first quarter of 2020. As of March 31, 2020, prior to the recording of any impairment charges, the Revlon, Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color and Fragrances reporting units had goodwill balances of $264.7 million, $67.4 million and $120.8 million, respectively; and
The Company also determined that indicators of impairment existed for each of its: (i) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (ii) Mass Portfolio; and (iii) Professional Portfolio reporting units. Accordingly, for the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized a total of $99.8 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges consisting of: $54.3 million and $19.6 million for the Mass Portfolio and Professional Portfolio reporting units, respectively, within the Company's Portfolio segment and $25.9 million for the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances reporting unit within the Company's Elizabeth Arden segment. Following the recognition of these non-cash goodwill impairment charges, as of March 31, 2020, the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, Mass Portfolio and Professional Portfolio reporting units had approximately $23.5 million, nil and $97.2 million, respectively, in remaining goodwill.

For the second quarter of 2020, as of June 30, 2020:

The Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair values of each of its: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; and (iii) Fragrances reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, prior to the recording of any impairment charges, the Revlon,
Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color and Fragrances reporting units had goodwill balances of $264.9 million, $67.4 million and $120.8 million, respectively; and
Primarily due to the continued worldwide effects of the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the Company also determined that indicators of impairment existed for each of its: (i) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; and (ii) Professional Portfolio reporting units. Accordingly, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized a total of $11.2 million of non-cash goodwill impairment charges consisting of: $9.6 million for the Professional Portfolio reporting unit within the Company's Portfolio segment and $1.6 million for the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances reporting unit within the Company's Elizabeth Arden segment. Following the recognition of these non-cash goodwill impairment charges, as of June 30, 2020, the Elizabeth Arden Fragrances and Professional Portfolio reporting units had approximately $22.0 million and $87.6 million, respectively, in remaining goodwill.

For its third quarter of 2020 interim assessment, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed qualitative analyses for its (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; (iii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (iv) Professional Portfolio; and (v) Fragrances reporting units. As discussed above, the Mass Portfolio reporting unit's goodwill was written down to nil during the first quarter of 2020. In performing its third quarter of 2020 qualitative interim goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of each of its reporting units, the Company's revised expected future cash flows as affected by the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the results of the second quarter of 2020 quantitative interim analysis.

For the third quarter of 2020, as of September 30, 2020:

The Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed qualitative analyses for its: (i) Revlon; (ii) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color; (iii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances; (iv) Professional Portfolio; and (v) Fragrances reporting units; and
Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of its previously mentioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts as of September 30, 2020. Consequently, no impairment changes were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

2020 Annual Goodwill Impairment Testing

In assessing whether goodwill was impaired in connection with its annual impairment testing performed during the fourth quarter of 2020 using October 1, 2020 carrying values, the Company, in accordance with ASC 350, performed a qualitative assessment for its Revlon reporting unit and quantitative assessments for its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units (as previously noted, the Mass Portfolio reporting unit no longer has any goodwill associated with it starting from the second quarter of 2020).

In performing its 2020 annual qualitative goodwill assessment, the Company considered, among other factors, the financial performance of the Revlon reporting unit, the Company's revised expected future cash flows as affected by the ongoing and prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the results of the second quarter of 2020 quantitative interim analysis. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its Revlon reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying amount for 2020.

In performing its 2020 quantitative assessments, the Company used the simplified approach allowed under ASU No. 2017-04 to test its (i) Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color, (ii) Elizabeth Arden Fragrances, (iii) Fragrances, and (iv) Professional Portfolio reporting units for impairment. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each of such aforementioned reporting units exceeded their respective carrying amounts for 2020.

Consequently, no additional impairment changes were recognized during the 2020 annual impairment assessment test.

2021 Annual Impairment Assessment Inputs and Assumptions Considerations

The above-mentioned fair values were primarily determined using a weighted average market and income approach. The income approach requires several assumptions including those regarding future sales growth, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins, and capital expenditures, which are the basis for the information used in the discounted cash flow model. The weighted-average cost of capital used in the income approach ranged from 8.5% to 10.0%,
with a perpetual growth rate of 2%. For the market approach, the Company considered the market comparable method based upon total enterprise value multiples of other comparable publicly-traded companies.
The key assumptions used to determine the estimated fair values of the Company's reporting units for its annual assessment included the expected success of the Company's future new product launches, the Company's achievement of its expansion plans, the Company's realization of its cost reduction initiatives and other efficiency efforts, as well as certain assumptions regarding the COVID-19 pandemic's expected impact on the Company. If such plans and assumptions do not materialize as anticipated, or if there are further challenges in the business environment in which the Company's reporting units operate, a resulting change in actual results from the Company's key assumptions could have a negative impact on the estimated fair values of the reporting units, which could require the Company to recognize additional impairment charges in future reporting periods.

The inputs and assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements.”

The following table presents the changes in goodwill by segment for the year ended December 31, 2021:

Intangible Assets, Net
Finite-Lived Intangibles
2021 Annual Impairment Test
In accordance with ASC Topic 360, and in conjunction with the performance of its 2021 annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company reviewed its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment.
In performing its review, the Company makes judgments about the recoverability of its purchased finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment to its finite-lived intangible assets may exist. The Company also considers several indicators of impairment, including, among other factors, the following: (i) whether there exists any significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset and/or asset group is being used; (ii) whether there exists any projection or forecast demonstrating losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset and/or asset group; and (iii) whether there exists a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset and/or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously-estimated useful life. The carrying amount of a finite-lived intangible asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the finite-lived intangible asset and/or asset group and the impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the finite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment charges were recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the 2021 annual impairment test.
2020 Annual and Interim Impairment Tests
No impairment charges were recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's finite-lived intangible assets as a result of the 2020 annual and interim impairment tests.
Indefinite-Lived Intangibles
2021 Annual Impairment Test
In accordance with ASC Topic 350, and in conjunction with the performance of its 2021 annual goodwill impairment assessment, the Company also quantitatively reviewed indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, using October 1, 2021 carrying values, similar to goodwill.
The Company performed quantitative and qualitative assessments of its indefinite-lived intangible assets considering, among other factors, the financial performance of certain asset groups within its reporting units and the Company's expected future cash flows. No impairment charges were recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of the 2021 annual impairment test.
2020 Annual and Interim Impairment Tests
In connection with the interim goodwill impairment assessment for the first and second quarters of 2020, the Company quantitatively reviewed indefinite-lived intangible assets, consisting of certain trade names, using March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020 carrying values, respectively, similar to goodwill, in accordance with ASC Topic 350.

As a result of COVID-19’s impact on the Company’s operations and on the expected future cash flows of certain asset groups, the quantitative interim assessments of indefinite-lived intangible assets in the first and second quarters of 2020 resulted in the recognition of:
$24.5 million of total non-cash impairment charges related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Company's Mass Portfolio, Elizabeth Arden Fragrances and Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color reporting units in the first quarter of 2020; and
$8.6 million of total non-cash impairment charges related to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets within the Company's Elizabeth Arden Fragrances and Elizabeth Arden Skin and Color reporting units in the second quarter of 2020.

For the third and fourth quarter of 2020, in accordance with the approaches followed for the third quarter interim goodwill assessment and for the 2020 annual goodwill impairment testing, the Company performed qualitative and quantitative assessments, respectively, of its indefinite-lived intangible assets considering, among other factors, the financial performance of certain asset groups within its reporting units, the Company's revised, expected future cash flows (also as affected by COVID-19), as well as the results of the second quarter of 2021 quantitative interim analysis of indefinite-lived intangibles. No impairment charges were recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets as a result of these impairment assessments. Consequently, total non-cash impairment charges recorded on the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets were $33.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Inputs and Assumptions Considerations

The fair values of the Company's intangible assets were determined based on the undiscounted cash flows method for its finite-lived intangibles and based on the relief from royalty method for its indefinite-lived intangibles, respectively. The inputs and assumptions utilized in the impairment analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as defined in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements.”
The 2020 impairment charges were included as a separate component of operating income within the "Impairment charges" caption on the face of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the year ended December 31, 2020. No impairment charges were recognized related to the carrying value of any of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2021. A summary of such impairment charges by segments is included in the following table:
