Impairment of Goodwill and Other intangible assets

2023 Impairments

During the year ended December 31, 2023, management determined that the Company’s goodwill in Nevada was impaired due to the Company’s lower than expected operating results, driven in part by the overall decline in the retail market within the state. The Company utilized a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and market approach (guideline company method) for its impairment test for each state, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $7,329. The key inputs and assumptions used in the fair valuation of Nevada include: (i) a five-year cash flow forecast, which is based on the Company’s actual operating results and business plans; (ii) a perpetual growth rate; (iii) an estimated discount rate and (iv) a weighted average cost of capital. The goodwill impairment is recorded within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2023, management determined that certain intangible assets associated with the NuLeaf acquisition were impaired due to the Company rebranding certain NuLeaf skus sold to retail and wholesale customers, and as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $845. The intangible asset impairment is recorded within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

2022 Impairments
During the year ended December 31, 2022, management determined that the Company’s goodwill and certain intangible assets in California, Massachusetts, Nevada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania were impaired due to the Company’s lower than expected operating results, driven in part by significant price compression and the overall economy in the respective state. The Company utilized a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and market approach (a combination of the guideline transactions method and guideline company method) for its impairment test for each state, resulting in goodwill and intangible impairment charges reflected below. The goodwill and intangible asset impairment is recorded within operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
