Rafael Holdings, Inc. Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosure
NOTE 18 - GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Impairment
The Company assesses goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including IPR&D, for impairment at least annually at May 31, or more frequently if events or changes in the business environment indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, whenever significant events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable.
During November 2024, the Company identified a triggering event that required an impairment test for its long-lived assets and goodwill balances within its Infusion Technology reporting unit in accordance with ASC 360 and ASC 350, respectively. The triggering event was identified due to reductions in certain operations including a layoff within the Company’s Infusion Technology segment. The Company performed an interim impairment analysis of the Infusion Technology reporting unit as of November 30, 2024.
Under ASC 360, the Company performed a recoverability test for its long-lived assets. The carrying amount of the long-lived assets was compared to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets. Based on this assessment, the Company determined that the carrying amount of its long-lived assets was recoverable, and no impairment was recognized.
In accordance with ASC 350, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test that utilized a combination of an income and market approach to assess the fair value of the reporting unit as of November 30, 2024. The income approach utilized a discounted cash flow model, considering projected future cash flows (including timing and profitability), discount rate reflecting the risk inherent in future cash flows, and perpetual growth rate, while the guideline public company market approach used guideline public company revenue multiples from a selection of comparable public companies. The Company determined that the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value of the reporting unit, indicating that the goodwill of the reporting unit was impaired. The Company recorded the impairment charge of $3.1 million within loss on impairment of goodwill in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The loss on impairment of goodwill relates to the Company’s Infusion Technology Segment.

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.
