Goodwill

 

During any period in which the Company identifies an impairment trigger, the Company’s methodology includes internally generated separate cash flow projections for each reporting unit based on the different drivers that affect each reporting unit. The Company compares the fair values of each of its reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a goodwill impairment charge is recorded for the difference, with the impairment loss limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The fair values of each of the Company’s reporting units were derived using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method. The use of a discounted cash flow analysis requires significant judgment to estimate the future cash flows and the period of time over which those cash flows will be realized, as well as to determine the appropriate discount rate. The discounted cash flow model reflects management’s assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, risk-adjusted discount rates, terminal period growth rates, economic and market trends, and other expectations about the anticipated operating results of the Company’s reporting units. As part of the goodwill impairment test, the Company also considers its market capitalization in assessing the reasonableness of the combined fair values estimated for its reporting units. Substantial changes in the cash flows assumptions of the different reporting units may lead to a future impairment or may alter the implied distribution of value between the different reporting units. A material decline in the Company’s stock price may affect the imputed discount rate and the distribution of value between the reporting units, which may also lead to a future impairment.

 

The carrying value of goodwill, all of which was assigned to the Company’s BioBanking reporting unit, was $7,347 at both December 31, 2025 and 2024. At December 31, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it was more likely than not that the that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment, there was no goodwill impairment recognized during the year ended December 31, 2025. At December 31, 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances would indicate that it was more likely than not that the that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Based on the assessment, there was no goodwill impairment recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

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.
