Impairment of Goodwill

We performed our annual impairment test of goodwill for the CRYOPDP and MVE reporting units as of October 1, 2023, with the assistance of an independent third party valuation specialist, using management’s updated annual financial and operational plans. Based on our analysis, we concluded that there has been no impairment of the goodwill associated with the CRYOPDP reporting unit as its carrying value did not exceed its estimated fair value. We concluded that our MVE reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value, and as a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $49.6 million related to the MVE reporting unit in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Our goodwill impairment test was performed using a combination of both an income and a market approach to determine the fair value of the MVE reporting unit. The income approach utilized the estimated discounted cash flows for MVE while the market approach utilized comparable peer group information. Estimates and assumptions used in the income approach included projected cash flows for MVE and a discount rate determined using a weighted average cost of capital for risk factors specific to MVE and other market and industry data. The discount rate selected was 12.0%. The other key estimates and assumptions used in the discounted cash flow method include, but are not limited to, revenue and EBITDA growth rates, and a terminal growth rate. The estimates and assumptions used in our assessment represent a Level 3 measurement because they are supported by little or no market activity and reflect our own

assumptions in measuring fair value. The assumptions used in our impairment analysis are inherently subject to uncertainty and, therefore, small changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on the concluded value.

As a result of the impairment, the carrying value of the MVE reporting unit now approximates its fair value. Changes in our future operating results, cash flows, share price, market capitalization or discount rates used when conducting future goodwill impairment tests could affect the estimated fair value of the MVE reporting unit and may result in additional goodwill impairment charges in the future. The Company will continue to monitor events occurring or circumstances changing which may suggest that goodwill should be reevaluated during interim periods prior to the annual impairment test. As of December 31, 2023, remaining goodwill allocated to the MVE reporting unit was $55.2 million.
