_____________

(1)Comprises only Beyond Yoga goodwill.

During the third quarter of 2023, as part of the Company’s annual review of the Beyond Yoga reporting unit, the Company elected to perform a single step quantitative impairment test on the goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assigned to the Beyond Yoga reporting unit. The Company engaged third-party valuation specialists and used industry accepted valuation models and criteria that were reviewed and approved by various levels of management. The Company assessed the fair value of the Beyond Yoga reporting unit as of the test date, May 29, 2023, using the discounted cash flow method under the income approach, utilizing estimated cash flows and a terminal value, discounted at a rate of return that reflects the relative risk of the cash flows. As a result of this assessment, we concluded that the carrying value of the Beyond Yoga reporting unit exceeded the estimated fair value by $75.4 million, which was recorded as a noncash impairment charge to goodwill.

Prior to the assessment of the reporting unit, we concluded that the carrying value of the trademark intangible asset exceeded its estimated fair value, which was determined using the relief-from-royalty method to utilize the discounted projected future cash flows. Based on this assessment, we recorded a $14.8 million noncash impairment charge related to the Beyond Yoga trademark. The significant assumptions used in the assessment of the reporting unit include revenue growth rates and profit margins, operating expenses, capital expenditures, terminal value, and a discount rate. The significant assumptions used in the assessment of the carrying value of the trademark intangible asset include revenue growth rate, a discount rate and a royalty rate.

Total impairment charges for the three months ended August 27, 2023 were $90.2 million and were recorded within Goodwill and other intangible impairment charges on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The impairment is due to incremental investments in the brand and team, and disciplined expansion in response to the current macroeconomic conditions, resulting in an adverse impact on expected cash flows, as well as an increase in discount rates.

In the second quarter of 2022, as a result of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, the Company reviewed the goodwill assigned to its Russia business for impairment and recorded $11.6 million of non-cash impairment charges.

Other intangible assets, net, were as follows:
