The Company performs a goodwill impairment assessment on at least an annual basis. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment assessment during the fourth quarter, or more frequently, if indicators of impairment exist.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company identified negative indicators such as lower financial performance and the impairment of intangibles and other long-lived assets for one component of the TTEC Digital segment and thus the Company updated its quantitative assessment for the TTEC Digital Consulting reporting unit fair value using an income-based approach. The determination of fair value requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term growth rates for the businesses, the useful lives over which the cash flows will occur and determination of appropriate discount rates (based in part on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital). Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions on goodwill impairment for each reporting unit. At June 30, 2019, the fair value for the TTEC Digital Consulting reporting unit exceeded the carrying value, and thus no impairment was required. At September 30, 2019, the Company reviewed the current assumptions and projections for this reporting unit and noted no material changes since the evaluation at June 30, 2019, thus no impairment is required.

During the second quarter of 2019, in connection with the change in operating segments, the Company also reassessed the reporting units. After evaluation, the Company reduced the reporting units to four from five based on the combination of the previous CMS (Customer Management) and CGS (Customer Growth) reporting units.

Other Intangible Assets

In connection with reduced profitability of the rogenSi component of the TTEC Digital segment, an interim impairment analysis was completed during the second quarter of 2019. The long-lived assets reviewed for impairment consisted of the customer relationship intangible, intellectual property, and right of use assets. The Company completed an asset group recoverability evaluation based on the current estimated cash flow based on forecasted revenues and operating income using significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs). Based on this calculation, the Company recorded an impairment expense of $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019, which was included in Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). As part of the $2.0 million impairment $0.4 million was assigned to the customer relationship intangible asset and $0.2 million to the IP intangible asset. At September 30, 2019, the Company reviewed the evaluation completed as of June 30, 2019, and noted no material changes, thus no additional impairment is required.
