million relating to the WUP Legacy reporting unit during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decline in the fair value of the reporting unit was primarily due to a more material reduction in working capital than expected during the three months ended June 30, 2023, as well as an increase in the discount rate.To facilitate reconciliation of the fair value of our reporting units to our market capitalization as of June 1, 2023, we elected to perform a quantitative impairment assessment of the Air Partner reporting unit as of June 1, 2023, using a combination of the discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods, which did not result in impairment to goodwill. Based on the valuation, the fair value of the Air Partner reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by more than 10%.During the third quarter of 2023, we determined that upon entering into the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 8) on September 20, 2023 (see Note 8), and due to associated changes to our ownership and governance structure on that same date (see Note 11), there was an indication that the fair value of the WUP Legacy reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. We performed an interim quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill as of September 20, 2023. Using a discounted cash flow approach, we calculated the fair value of WUP Legacy, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. The significant underlying inputs used to measure the fair value included forecasted revenue growth rates and margins, weighted average cost of capital, normalized working capital level and projected long-term growth rates. As a result of this assessment, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $56.2 million relating to the WUP Legacy reporting unit during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The impairment charge represented the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit as of the assessment date exceeded the estimated fair value of the reporting unit as of the assessment date. Since the previous analysis on June 1, 2023, the fair value of the reporting unit increased as a result of the run-off of unprofitable periods in our estimated future cash flows; however, the carrying value of the reporting unit increased in a substantially equivalent amount due to the issuance of the Term Loan (see Note 8) and Initial Shares (as defined in Note 11).To facilitate reconciliation of the fair value of our reporting units to our market capitalization as of September 20, 2023,
