Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired and accounted for under the purchase method. The Company reviews and tests its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may be impaired. The Company performs the test in the fourth fiscal quarter of each year using a qualitative evaluation or a quantitative test that is a combination of a discounted cash flow analysis and a market approach. The discounted cash flow approach requires that certain assumptions and estimates be made regarding industry economic factors and future profitability. The market approach estimates the fair value based on comparisons with the market values and market multiples of earnings and revenues of similar public companies.

 

In fiscal 2018, the Company reduced goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition of DKI by $9.0 million due to certain adjustments related to unrecorded indemnification obligations from LVMH, asset reserves, fixed assets and the section 338(h)(10) tax election adjustment. The Company also wrote off the goodwill associated with the retail operations segment of $0.7 million as a result of the performance of the retail operations segment.
