 goodwill for impairment. 

We review the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such carrying values may not be recoverable and annually for goodwill as required by ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Factors that may be considered a change in circumstances, indicating that the carrying value of our goodwill may not be recoverable, include a sustained decline in stock price and market capitalization, reduced future cash flow estimates and slower growth rates in our industry. This guidance provides the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, based on a review of qualitative factors, it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, we perform a quantitative analysis. If the quantitative analysis indicates the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure any goodwill impairment losses as the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

As a result of our 2023 financial performance in comparison to previous forecasts, combined with our level of stock price, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment as of December 31, 2023. A quantitative goodwill impairment analysis requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, which requires complex analysis and judgment. The results of the testing as of December 31, 2023, concluded that the estimated fair value exceeded carrying value by approximately 10%, and no impairment existed as of that date.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company concluded that a triggering event occurred due to a sustained decline in the Company’s stock price since December 31, 2023, which required interim testing for goodwill impairment in accordance with ASC 350. Accordingly, the Company performed a quantitative assessment as of September 30, 2024. The fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by approximately 1%, and therefore we concluded no impairment existed as of that date.

As a result of continued declines in the level of stock price, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment as of December 31, 2024. The results of the testing as of December 31, 2024, concluded that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit fell short of carrying value, and therefore impairment existed as of that date. A goodwill impairment charge of $46.3 million was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations
