 result, the Company performed a quantitative assessment to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount as of December 31, 2023. The Company concluded that the carrying value of the Southern reporting unit exceeded its fair value and, as such, recorded a $60.0 million impairment of goodwill in its Southern reporting unit during the fourth quarter of 2023. 

As of December 31, 2024, we had no remaining goodwill balance. The fair value of goodwill in the impairment test was determined using a combination of an income approach, which estimates fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash flows discounted to their respective present values, and a market approach. The valuation methodology and underlying financial information included in our determination of fair value required significant judgments by management. The principal assumptions used in our discounted cash flow analysis consisted of (a) long-term projections of financial performance, inclusive of scheduled completion factors and prospective operating cost assumptions and (b) the weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk attributable to us and the industry in which we operate. Under the market approach, the principal assumption included an estimate of a control premium.

Stock-Based Compensation

We grant stock options, warrants, restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”) to certain employees, as well as non-employees (including directors and others who provide services to us) under our stock plans. We recognize compensation expense resulting from stock-based payments over the period for which the requisite services are provided.

Stock Options and Warrants

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock options and warrants at the measurement date. The grant date is deemed to be the appropriate measurement date for stock options issued to employees and non-employees. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur.

The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of subjective assumptions, including the following:

•Fair Value of Common Stock—Prior to the Company’s direct listing, the absence of an active market for our common stock required us to estimate the fair value of our common stock. See the subsection titled “common stock Valuations” below. For valuations completed subsequent to the direct listing, the fair value of each share of underlying common stock is based on the closing price of our common stock as reported on the date immediately preceding the date of grant.

•Risk-Free Interest Rate—The yield on actively traded non-inflation indexed U.S. Treasury
