Goodwill Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment annually, as of the beginning of the fourth quarter, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value is below its carrying value. The process of evaluating goodwill for potential impairment is subjective and requires significant estimates, assumptions and judgments particularly related to the estimating the fair value of each reporting unit. Subsequent to the shutdown of Lyte, the Company concluded it operated in one reporting unit.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, sufficient impairment indicators were identified by the Company that it was more-likely-than-not that goodwill was impaired, and a quantitative interim goodwill impairment test was performed. These impairment indicators included a sustained decline in the Company's stock price and volume of shares traded during the fourth quarter of 2023, which hindered fundraising. As a result of our 2023 testing, we concluded goodwill was impaired. We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $25,820. As a result of this impairment charge, the Company's goodwill balance was completely written off as of December 31, 2023. The impairment was driven by deterioration of cash flows, as well as higher costs.
The goodwill impairment analysis referenced above used the discounted cash flow model (income approach) utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. Significant assumptions in this analysis included, but were not limited to, future cash flow projections, the weighted average cost of capital, the terminal growth rate and the tax rate. Estimates of future cash flows are based on current regulatory and economic climates, recent operating results, and planned business strategies. These estimates could be negatively affected by changes in federal, state, or local regulations or economic downturns. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from estimates. We believe the current assumptions and estimates utilized are both reasonable and appropriate.
