December 31, 2020 $ 384,202

The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on October 1st and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company identified circumstances subsequent to the annual goodwill test that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit (the entity) below its carrying value. The Company performed qualitative and quantitative goodwill impairment tests during the third and the fourth quarters of 2022. These impairment indicators included increased interest rates impacting our weighted average cost of capital, an increase in the Company's specific risk premium, an increase in debt-free net working capital needs and a sustained decline in the Company's share price from the third quarter. In addition to the market data, the valuation
techniques utilized level 3 inputs such as the Company’s internal forecasts of its future results, cash flows and its weighted average cost of capital. As a result, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $58.1 million, which represents the accumulated impairment loss as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the reporting was estimated by equally weighing the results of the income approach and the market approach.
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. The impairment loss has been recognized in our statement of operations as a goodwill impairment loss from operations for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company did not record a goodwill impairment loss in any prior periods.
