Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

We measure the fair value of certain non-financial assets on a non-recurring basis, including goodwill and certain intangible assets. During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim impairment test as of the last day of our first fiscal quarter (March 29, 2020). As a result of the test, goodwill and client relationship intangible assets with a total carrying value of $221.6 million were written down to their fair value, and an impairment charge of $175.2 million was recognized on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 27, 2020. There were no goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges recorded during fiscal 2019 or 2018. Refer to Note 6: Goodwill and Intangible Assets for additional details on the impairment charge and valuation methodologies.

The impairment was comprised as follows:


	March 29, 2020
(in thousands)	Total fair value		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (level 1)		Significant other observable inputs (level 2)		Significant unobservable inputs (level 3)		Total impairment charge
Goodwill	$	31,705	$	—	$	—	$	31,705	$	(140,489)
