Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Note 11.Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

Long-Lived Assets. We review our long-lived assets including land, property and equipment for impairment when there are factors that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess recovery of assets at the individual restaurant level and typically include an analysis of historical cash flows, future operating plans, and cash flow projections in assessing whether there are indicators of impairment. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the net book value of the assets of an individual restaurant to the fair value of those assets. This impairment process involves significant judgment in the use of estimates and assumptions pertaining to future projections and operating results.

There were no impairments in the three fiscal quarters ending June 29, 2021.

Given the results of our analyses at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, we identified six restaurants where the expected future cash flows would not be sufficient to recover the carrying value of the associated assets.

The restaurants are all Bad Daddy’s restaurants, two each in North Carolina and Colorado, and one each in Tennessee and Georgia. We recorded non-cash charges of $5,291,000 related to the impairment of these restaurants during the three quarters ending June 29, 2020.

Trademarks. Trademarks have been determined to have an indefinite life. We evaluate our trademarks for impairment annually and on an interim basis as events and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of the trademarks with their carrying amount. There was no impairment required to the acquired trademarks as of June 29, 2021 and June 30, 2020.

Goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over fair value of the assets of businesses the Company acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather, the Company is required to test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or whenever indications of impairment arise. The Company considers its operations to be comprised of two reporting units: (1) Good Times restaurants and (2) Bad Daddy’s restaurants. As of June 29, 2021, the Company had $96,000 of goodwill attributable to the Good Times reporting unit and $5,054,000 of goodwill attributable to its Bad Daddy’s reporting unit.

No goodwill impairment charges were recognized during the three quarters ended June 29, 2021.

In March 2020, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted authorities in most jurisdictions where the Company operates to issue stay-at-home orders, leading to an unexpected significant disruption to the Company's business requiring the Company to close its restaurant dining rooms and operate its Bad Daddy’s restaurants under a delivery and carry-out model. As such, the consequences of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with a sustained decline in the Company's stock price were determined to be indicators of impairment for its Bad Daddy’s reporting unit. As such, using Level 3 inputs, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment using both the discounted cash flow method and guideline public company method to determine the fair value of its reporting unit. Significant assumptions and estimates used in determining fair value include future revenues, operating costs, working capital changes, capital expenditures, and a discount rate that approximates the Company's weighted average cost of capital. Based on the quantitative assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting unit was less than its carrying value and recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $10.0 million, equal to the excess of the Bad Daddy’s reporting unit's carrying value above its fair value. No goodwill impairment charges were recognized related to goodwill attributable to its Good Times reporting unit.
