 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 during the year ended December 31, 2024.For the December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 impairment tests, the Company used a combination of discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model and market approaches, such as public company comparable analysis and comparable acquisitions analysis to determine fair value of the reporting unit. The income approach and market approaches were weighted equally to estimate fair value. The income approach requires detailed forecasts of cash flows, including assumptions such as revenue growth rates, gross profit margins, distribution, selling and administrative expenses, among other assumptions, and an estimate of weighted-average cost of capital which the Company believes approximate the assumptions from a market participant’s perspective. The market approaches are primarily impacted by an enterprise value multiple of EBITDA. These estimates incorporate many uncertain factors which could be impacted by changes in market conditions, interest rates, growth rate, tax rates, costs, customer behavior, regulatory environment and other macroeconomic changes. In addition, the Company considered the reasonableness of the fair value of the reporting unit by assessing the implied enterprise value control premium based on the Company’s market capitalization. The Company determined that the implied control premium was reasonable which corroborates the Company’s fair value estimates. The Company categorized the fair value determination as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to its use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs.Assumptions used in impairment testing are made at a point in time and require significant judgment; therefore, they are subject to change based on the facts and circumstances present at each impairment test date. Additionally, these assumptions are generally interdependent and do not change in isolation.

If, in future periods, the financial performance of the reporting unit does not meet forecasted expectations, or a prolonged further decline occurs in the market price of the Company’s common stock, it may cause a change in the results of the impairment assessment and, as such, could result in further impairment of goodwill.Acquired Intangible AssetsIn connection with the Sealand acquisition in 2022, the Company acquired $14.7 million of intangible assets, primarily representing trademarks and trade names of $4.4 million, customer relationships of $8.9 million and non-comp
