 operating segment or one level below an operating segment also known as a component. Prior to the change in operating segments, the Company’s reporting units for the evaluation of goodwill were determined by country. Component level financial information is reviewed by management across two business lines: Behavioral and Clinical. The Company’s “Behavioral” business line consists of the Company’s Workshops + Digital business and Digital business. Accordingly, these were determined to be the Company's new reporting units as of the first day of fiscal 2024.This change in reporting units qualified as a triggering event and required goodwill to be tested for impairment. As required by ASC 350, the Company tested goodwill for impairment immediately before and after the change in reporting units. As a result of these impairment analyses, it was determined that goodwill was not impaired before or after the change in reporting units.Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Indefinite-Lived Franchise Rights Acquired and Goodwill Interim Impairment TestsDuring the quarter ended September 28, 2024, the Company identified various qualitative and quantitative factors which collectively indicated a triggering event had occurred. These factors included the continued decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization, and actual business performance. As a result of this triggering event, the Company performed interim impairment tests for all of its franchise rights acquired units of account and goodwill reporting units in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.In performing the interim franchise rights acquired impairment test as of September 28, 2024, the Company determined that the carrying values of its United States and United Kingdom franchise rights acquired with indefinite-lived units of account exceeded their respective fair values. Accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges for its United States and United Kingdom units of account of $54,295 and $2,750 (which comprised the remaining balance of franchise rights acquired for the United Kingdom unit of account), respectively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. These impairments were driven primarily by the weighted average cost of capital used in this interim impairment test, reflecting market factors, including higher interest rates and the trading values of the Company’s equity and debt, and, to a lesser extent, business performance. In performing the interim goodwill impairment test as of September 28, 2024, the Company determined that the carrying values of its goodwill reporting units did not exceed their respective fair values and, therefore, no impairment existed.Based on the results of the interim franchise rights acquired impairment test as of September 28, 2024 performed for the Company’s United States unit of account,
