Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill | GOODWILL The Company performs its goodwill impairment assessment annually as of December 31, and between annual assessments if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. The Company’s reporting units, which are tested for impairment, are U.S. pawn operations, U.S. consumer loan operations and Latin America pawn and consumer loan operations. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at a reporting unit level by initially assessing a range of qualitative factors, including, but not limited to, macroeconomic conditions, industry conditions, the competitive environment, changes in the market for the Company’s products and services, regulatory and political developments, entity specific factors, such as strategy and changes in key personnel, and overall financial performance. If, after completing this assessment, it is determined it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the Company proceeds to the two-step impairment testing methodology. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit's fair value to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired and no further testing is required. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss. In the second step, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill is less than its carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company determined that sufficient indicators of potential impairment existed to require an interim goodwill impairment analysis for the U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit. These indicators included, among others, the impacts of recently enacted and additional proposed local, state and federal regulatory restrictions affecting short-term and long-term profitability expectations for payday and title lending products, the Company’s long-term ongoing strategy to reduce non-core consumer lending operations along with significant deterioration in payday lending market conditions. Due to the aforementioned indicators, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit was less than the carrying value. The Company estimated fair value of the U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit by applying a multiple to the reporting units’ forecast earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as this is a common valuation technique within the consumer loan industry (the inputs used in the fair value calculation are significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, in the fair value hierarchy). The resulting estimated fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value and after performing the second step in the goodwill impairment testing methodology, the Company determined there was no material implied goodwill. As a result, a $7,913,000 goodwill impairment charge was recorded in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, which is included as goodwill impairment - U.S. consumer loan operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2015, the Company has no remaining goodwill or other intangible assets associated with its U.S. consumer loan operations reporting unit. Changes in the carrying value of goodwill were as follows (in thousands):
