Goodwill Impairment

The Company performs an annual assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter and during interim periods if there are triggering events to reassess goodwill. The Company’s common stock declined after the Company announced its fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018 earnings release on February 5, 2019. The average closing price per share for the common stock for the eight trading days after such earnings release was $3.71, a 223.3% decrease compared to the average closing price for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018. A sustained decline in common stock and the resulting impact to the Company’s market capitalization as well as a downward revision to the Company’s business outlook for fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 are qualitative factors to consider when evaluating whether events or changes in circumstances indicate it is a more likely than not a potential goodwill impairment exists. The Company concluded that the decline in the price of its common stock in February 2019 did represent a sustained decline and therefore was an indicator that the Company’s goodwill might be impaired. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment as of February 7, 2019.

The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment. To determine the fair value for the reporting unit, the Company utilized its common stock price and included a market participant acquisition premium (“MPAP”) assumption. A significant decrease in MPAP could result in a significantly lower fair value estimate. The concluded fair value exceeded the Company’s carrying amount by approximately 29.8%. Decreasing the selected MPAP of 25% by 250 basis points would result in the concluded fair value exceeding the carrying amount by approximately 27.2%.

As fair value was greater than carrying amount, goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2018 using the February 7, 2019 valuation. If there is a further decline in the Company’s stock price based on market conditions and deterioration of the Company’s business, the Company may have to record a charge to its earnings for the goodwill impairment of up to $15.6 million. The Company determined that no events occurred or circumstances changed during the three months ended September 29, 2019 that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount.
