Intangible Assets and Goodwill
9. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

The Facebank reporting unit was developed by the Company’s former CEO, John Textor. On July 31, 2020, Mr. Textor resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Upon the Merger, Mr. Textor became Head of Studio of the Company and was to manage the legacy Facebank reporting unit, which included human animation and digital likeness technologies. Mr. Textor submitted his resignation as Head of Studio, which is effective October 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, Mr. Textor was not performing substantive services for the Company. Mr. Textor’s continuing involvement was integral for further development of the Facebank reporting unit, and therefore represents a triggering event to assess the carrying value of its goodwill and intangible assets underlying the Facebank reporting unit. The Company performed an impairment analysis of the Facebank goodwill and intangible assets and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of approximately $88.1 million and goodwill impairment charge of $148.6 million. After these impairment charges the Facebank reporting unit had no allocated goodwill and intangible assets of $13.0 million.

 

The following table represents the impairment charges recorded during the 3rd quarter of 2020 related to the Company’s Facebank reporting unit (in thousands):

 

Intangible assets   $ 88,059  
Goodwill   $ 148,622  
Total impairment expense   $ 236,681  

  

Intangible Assets

 

The Company performed a valuation of its intangible assets of the Facebank reporting unit as of September 30, 2020. The Company determined that the carrying value of the intangible assets exceeded their fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $88.1 million, which was approximately 88% of the carrying value at September 30, 2020. Based on the impairment analysis, it was determined that the useful lives of human animation technologies, trademark and tradenames, animation and visual effects technologies, and digital assets library were reduced from 7 years to 5 years.
