Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of acquired net assets under the acquisition method of accounting. Intangibles represent customer relationships and trade name related to prior acquisitions, which were being amortized over four years and ten years, respectively.

In January 2025, the Company entered into a stock repurchase agreement with Trabian in which Trabian repurchased all the shares held by the Company, and the Company no longer consolidates Trabian in its financial statements. This transaction resulted in a reduction of goodwill and intangibles of $1.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. For more information on the transaction, refer to Note 24 – Acquisitions and Divestitures.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment if events and circumstances indicate a potential for impairment. No impairment charges were recorded for goodwill and other intangible assets in any of the periods presented.

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.
