During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a charge of $0, $253,000 and $380,000, respectively, related to the impairment of certain licenses, trademarks, patents and patent applications. The Company determined that the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to these intangible assets was less than their carrying value and that an impairment charge was required. Accordingly, the Company calculated the estimated fair value of the intangible assets based on the present value of the expected cash flows over their estimated lives. The impairment amount was calculated by deducting the present value of the expected cash flows from the carrying value. Significant estimates and assumptions used by the Company included sales and expense growth rates, and discounted projected cash flows. The estimates and assumptions used in the Company’s assessment represent a Level 3 measurement because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. The assumptions used in the impairment analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty and, therefore, changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded fair value.

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.
