VINCE HOLDING CORP. Goodwill & Intangibles Disclosure
Note 3. Goodwill
The total carrying amount of goodwill was $0 as of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, respectively, and was net of accumulated impairments of $133,818.
In fiscal 2024, the Company performed its annual impairment test during the fourth quarter. Concurrent with the performance of the annual impairment test, the P180 Acquisition was consummated. As the P180 Acquisition represented a change of control transaction with an unrelated third party, the fair value of the Company’s Vince Wholesale reporting unit was estimated based on the transaction price of the P180 Acquisition. The estimated fair value of the Company implied by the P180 Acquisition was allocated to the Company’s reporting units, Vince Wholesale and Vince Direct-to-consumer, using a market-based approach, considering the relative contributions of each reporting unit to the Company as well as appropriate valuation multiples for each reporting unit relative to the implied P180 Acquisition multiple. The results of the quantitative test determined that the fair value of the Vince Wholesale reporting unit was below its carrying value by an amount greater than its total goodwill balance and as a result, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $31,973 to write-off the goodwill for the Vince Wholesale reporting unit. The charge was recorded within Impairment of goodwill on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.Historical Timeline

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.
