| Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| GOODWILL | GOODWILL The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on October 1 of each year, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may not be recoverable. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company identified circumstances prior to its annual goodwill test that indicated that it was “more likely than not” that the fair value of the reporting unit (the Company) was below its carrying value. The Company therefore performed qualitative and quantitative goodwill impairment tests during the second quarter of 2024. The qualitative impairment indicators noted include a sustained decline in the Company’s share price, decreasing cash flows, lower actual or planned revenue or earnings compared with actual and projected results of relevant prior periods, and changes in management. No such triggering events were identified in the third quarter of 2024.
The fair value of the Company was estimated by equally weighing the results of an income approach and market approach. Valuation techniques utilized were substantially considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. These inputs included the Company’s internal forecasts of its future results, cash flows, and its weighted average cost of capital. Key assumptions used in the impairment analysis included projected revenue growth rates, discount rates, and market factors such as earnings multiples from comparable publicly traded companies.
As a result of the Company’s goodwill impairment testing in the second quarter of 2024, the Company initially concluded that the carrying value of the Company exceeded its estimated fair value and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of approximately $45.4 million. An additional impairment loss of $20.5 million was recorded (see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Restatement) due to the identification of an error in the calculation of goodwill impairment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, resulting in a total impairment charge of $65.9 million recognized at that time and thus for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
An impairment loss of approximately $78.3 million was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
