Goodwill
During 2023, we reviewed Arhaus Consolidated, our one reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment by performing a qualitative assessment in the fourth quarter. Based on the results, we determined that it was more likely than not the fair value of goodwill recorded exceeded the current carrying value and concluded no impairment existed.
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was no change in the recorded goodwill balances and we have not recorded any historical goodwill impairments.

About Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosures

Goodwill and intangible asset disclosures reveal the premium paid in acquisitions and how management assesses whether that premium retains its value. Since goodwill is no longer amortized under US GAAP, the annual impairment test is the only mechanism that adjusts carrying values downward — making the assumptions behind that test critically important for investors.

Key signals: a history of goodwill impairments suggests management consistently overpays for acquisitions. Watch the gap between reporting unit fair value and carrying amount — when fair value exceeds carrying amount by less than 10-20%, a small decline in business performance could trigger a write-down. For finite-lived intangibles, examine useful life assumptions across customer relationships, technology, and trade names; aggressive estimates inflate near-term earnings. Compare total intangibles-to-total-assets ratios against peers to assess acquisition dependency. Rising goodwill as a percentage of equity can signal balance sheet fragility.
