6. GOODWILL
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company considered the decline in its stock price to be an indicator of impairment and, accordingly, performed a quantitative impairment assessment of its goodwill and intangible assets on the dates where such indicators of impairment were identified in addition to performing its annual goodwill impairment analysis. This assessment involved comparing the estimated fair value of each of its reporting units to the reporting unit’s carrying value, inclusive of the goodwill balance allocated to the reporting unit.
Estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit involved the projection of discounted future cash flows using certain assumptions that are subjective in nature, including assumptions related to historical and market growth rates and gross margin improvements, as well as future operating expense synergies and optimization, among other factors. Based on its analysis, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value in all reporting units. Consequently, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $126,984 and $89,087 in the consolidated statements of operations during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The fair value measurements used in the evaluation described above are considered to be Level 3 valuations within the fair value hierarchy, as the measurements involve projections of discounted future cash flows, which are derived from unobservable assumptions, the most subjective of which are the discount rates for each respective reporting unit. The discount rate used for all reporting units ranged from 20% to 27% during the year ended December 31, 2024. The revenue growth rates used in projections for all reporting units ranged from 17% to 45% during the year ended December 31, 2024. The discount rate used for all reporting units ranged from 20% to 22.5% during the years ended December 31, 2023. The revenue growth rates used in projections for all reporting units ranged from 18.36% to 83.77% during the year ended December 31, 2023. Further declines in the Company’s stock price could lead to future triggering events.
Changes in goodwill by reporting unit during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
