The Company performed its annual impairment test of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to test goodwill for impairment to determine if it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company performed a quantitative assessment for impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2025 for all reporting units to enhance the robustness of the testing process and to establish updated fair value baselines. Accordingly, the fair value of each reporting unit was determined using an income approach (discounted cash flow method). This valuation required management to make significant estimates regarding future cash flows, including projections of revenue growth, operating margins, and the selection of appropriate market-participant discount rates and terminal growth rates. .
Based on the results of the quantitative assessment, the fair value of each reporting unit was found to be substantially in excess of its carrying value and the Company concluded that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2025. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Company's qualitative assessments showed that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company's reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts for those periods and concluded that no impairment existed as of December 31, 2023 and 2024.
The total amount of the Company’s goodwill deductible for income tax purposes was $237,125 and $210,585 as of December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
