Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as indefinite-lived trade names, are evaluated for impairment annually. Additionally, if events or conditions indicate the carrying value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be greater than its fair value, the Company would evaluate the asset for impairment at that time. Impairment testing compares the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other indefinite-lived intangible asset with its fair value. When the carrying amount of the reporting unit or other intangible assets exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

The impairment test for goodwill involves estimating the fair value of the reporting unit through either estimated discounted future cash flows or market-based methodologies. The impairment test for other indefinite-lived intangible assets involves estimating the fair value of the asset, which is typically performed using the relief from royalty method for indefinite-lived trade names.

In the second quarter of Fiscal 2022, the annual testing date of the Digital Banners was changed from the last day of the fiscal year to the last day of the fourth period of each fiscal year. The Digital Banners represents a reporting unit within the Company’s North America reportable segment. The new impairment testing date was preferable, as this date corresponds with the testing date for the other North America reporting units. This allows information and assumptions to be applied consistently to all reporting units.

In connection with the acquisition of Rocksbox on March 29, 2021, the Company recognized $11.6 million of definite-lived intangible assets and $4.6 million of goodwill, which are reported in the North America reportable segment. The weighted-average amortization period of the definite-lived intangibles assets acquired is eight years.

In connection with the acquisition of Diamonds Direct on November 17, 2021, the Company recognized $126.0 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the Diamonds Direct trade name and $251.2 million of goodwill, which are reported in the North America reportable segment. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.

During Fiscal 2022, the Company did not identify any events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair values.

During Fiscal 2023, the Company completed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names, and through the qualitative assessment, the Company did not identify any events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived trade names exceeded their fair values.

In connection with the acquisition of Blue Nile on August 19, 2022, the Company recognized $96.0 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets and $256.8 million of goodwill, which are reported in the North America reportable segment. Refer to Note 4 for additional information.

During Fiscal 2023, the Company did not identify any events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair values.

During Fiscal 2024, the Company completed its annual evaluation of its indefinite-lived intangible assets, including goodwill and trade names. The Company utilized the qualitative assessment for all reporting units and trade names, except the Digital Banners and Diamonds Direct reporting units and trade names, for which the quantitative assessment was utilized. Through the qualitative assessment, the Company did not identify any events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived trade names exceeded their fair values. The Company noted no impairment through the quantitative assessments based on the estimated fair values of the reporting units and trade names exceeding their carrying values.

During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company determined a triggering event had occurred requiring an interim impairment assessment for the Blue Nile trade name which management performed on a quantitative basis. The Company noted no impairment based on the estimated fair value of the trade name approximating its carrying value. The Company did not identify any other events or conditions that would indicate that it was more likely than not that the carrying values of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceed their fair values during Fiscal 2024.

The uncertainty related to the current macroeconomic environment, such as rising interest rates and the heightened inflationary pressure on consumers’ discretionary spending, could negatively affect the share price of the Company’s common stock, as well as key assumptions used to estimate fair value, such as sales trends, margin trends, long-term growth rates and discount rates. Thus, an adverse change in any of these factors could result in a risk of impairment in the Company’s goodwill or indefinite-lived trade names in future periods.
