Depreciation expense during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 was $13.8 million, $11.5 million, and $9.5 million, respectively.
In connection with the interim impairment test of goodwill in the second and fourth quarter of 2024, we also performed a recoverability test for the definite-lived asset group, which includes property and equipment, noting no impairment.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the second quarter, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating impairment. We performed our annual assessment for goodwill impairment, noting no impairment. Based primarily on the sustained decrease in our stock price during the second quarter and overall market capitalization as of the end of the second quarter of 2024 as well as other factors, we concluded that there was an indicator that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount that required an interim impairment test be performed on goodwill. As a result of the interim impairment test performed as of June 30, 2024, we concluded that the carrying amount of the entity-level reporting unit exceeded fair value and recorded $93.2 million of goodwill impairment. The impairment charge is included on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The decline in the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value as of June 30, 2024 resulted primarily from the decline in our stock price and changes in the timing of expected future cash flows as compared to our initial long-term plan, due to continued impact of longer than expected median sales cycles resulting from various factors. We performed our impairment test using a combination of an income and a market approach to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. The income approach utilized estimated discounted cash flows, while the market approach utilized comparable company information. Significant assumptions used in the income approach included revenue growth expectations and a selected discount rate of 12.0%. The discount rate was based on the weighted average cost of capital, determined using market, peer company, industry data, and related risk factors. The assessment is a level 3 fair value measurement due to its reliance on certain unobservable inputs and significant management judgment. The assumptions used were inherently subject to uncertainty and small changes in these assumptions could have had a significant impact on the concluded value. An increase of 100 basis points to the discount rate used in our assessment would have resulted in additional goodwill impairment of approximately $85 million. The assessed fair value was deemed reasonable based on a market capitalization reconciliation and a supportable control premium.
As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, we concluded that the significant increase in the carrying value of the reporting unit resulting primarily from the debt restructuring during the quarter and changes in the timing and amount of expected future cash flows due to macroeconomic headwinds, among other factors, indicated that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount that required an interim impairment test be performed on goodwill. As a result of the impairment test performed as of December 31, 2024, we concluded that the carrying amount of the entity-level reporting unit exceeded fair value and recorded $51.3 million of goodwill impairment. The impairment charge is included on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
We performed our impairment test consistent with the approach used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit in the second quarter of 2024. Significant assumptions used in the income approach included revenue growth expectations and a selected discount rate of 12.0%. The assessment is a Level 3 fair value measurement due to its reliance on certain unobservable inputs and significant management judgment. The assumptions used were inherently subject to uncertainty and small changes in these assumptions could have had a significant impact on the concluded value. An increase of 100 basis points to the discount rate used in our assessment would have resulted in additional goodwill impairment of approximately $95 million. The assessed fair value was deemed reasonable based on a market capitalization reconciliation.
As a result of the impairments, the carrying value of goodwill now approximates fair value. Changes in our future operating results, cash flows, share price, market capitalization or discount rates, among others, used when conducting future goodwill impairment tests could affect the estimated implied fair value of goodwill and may result in additional impairment charges in the future.
Changes to goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2024 were as follows:
(in thousands)
Balance as of December 31, 2023
$462,261 
Impairment charges
(144,500)
Balance as of December 31, 2024
$317,761 
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets include developed technology, customer relationships, and acquired IPR&D.
As a result of the Apton acquisition in August 2023, we allocated $55.0 million of the purchase price to IPR&D. As of December 31, 2024, the research and development project had not been completed or abandoned and, therefore, the IPR&D is not currently subject to amortization. During the year ended December 31, 2023, acquired IPR&D of $400.0 million as a result of the Omniome acquisition in September 2021 was completed and became subject to amortization.
IPR&D is reviewed for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if an event occurs indicating the potential for impairment. Based on the interim impairment test of goodwill in the second quarter of 2024 and our annual IPR&D impairment assessment in the third quarter of 2024, no impairment of IPR&D was identified.
As of the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, we concluded that due to significant macroeconomic uncertainties and the related changes in the timing and amount of expected future cash flows, among other factors, it was more likely than not that the fair value of the IPR&D was less than its carrying amount that required an interim impairment test be performed on IPR&D. We performed our impairment test by comparing the carrying value of the IPR&D to its estimated fair value, which was determined by the income approach, using a discounted cash flow model. Significant estimates and assumptions used in the income approach, which represent a Level 3 fair value measurement, include revenue growth assumptions, a selected discount rate of 14.0%, and a selected obsolescence factor of 13 years. The discount rate was based primarily on the weighted average cost of capital, determined using market, peer company, industry data, and related risk factors. Based on our analysis, the carrying value of the IPR&D exceeded its estimated fair value, and we recorded an impairment of $40.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The impairment charge is included on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The assumptions used were inherently subject to uncertainty and small changes in these assumptions could have had a significant impact on the concluded value. An increase of 100 basis points to the discount rate used in our analysis would have resulted in additional IPR&D impairment of approximately $5 million. A decrease of one year to the obsolescence factor used in our analysis would have resulted in additional IPR&D impairment of approximately $5 million. We also performed a recoverability test for the definite-lived asset group, which includes developed technology, noting no impairment.
As a result of the impairment, the carrying value of the IPR&D now approximates fair value. Changes in macroeconomic conditions, industry-specific conditions and company-specific conditions may impact the estimates and assumptions used when conducting future IPR&D impairment tests. These changes could affect the estimated fair value of the IPR&D and may result in additional impairment charges in the future.
Changes to IPR&D during the year ended December 31, 2024 were as follows:

Amortization expense of intangibles was $27.4 million, $8.3 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 amortization expense of intangibles in cost of revenue was $9.4 million, $2.0 million, and $0.7 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, amortization expense of intangibles in operating expenses was $18.0 million, $6.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets is included within our cost of revenue if the costs and expenses related to the intangible assets are attributable to revenue generating activities. Amortization expense for intangible assets that are not directly related to sales generating activities are amortized to operating expenses. For developed technology intangible assets that are utilized in both revenue generating activities and in research and development activities, we allocate the amortization expense between cost of revenue and operating expenses. The finite-lived intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.
The estimated future amortization expense of acquisition-related intangible assets with finite lives is estimated as follows:

Product Warranties
We generally provide a one-year warranty on instruments. In addition, we provide a limited warranty on consumables. At the time revenue is recognized, an accrual is established for estimated warranty costs based on historical experience as well as anticipated product performance. We periodically review the warranty reserve for adequacy and adjust the warranty accrual, if necessary, based on actual experience and estimated costs to be incurred. Warranties are recorded as part of accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets and warranty expense is recorded as a component of cost of product revenue on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were no material changes in estimates for the periods presented below.
Changes in the reserve for product warranties were as follows:

Deferred Revenue
As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of $19.8 million of deferred revenue, $13.9 million of which was recorded as deferred revenue, current and $5.9 million of which was recorded as deferred revenue, non-current, which primarily relates to deferred service contract revenues and is scheduled to be recognized in the next five years. Revenue recorded in the year ended December 31, 2024 includes $14.9 million that was included in deferred revenue, current as of December 31, 2023.
Performance Obligations
We regularly enter into contracts with multiple performance obligations. These contracts are believed to be firm as of the balance sheet date. However, we may allow customers to make product substitutions or certain modifications at our discretion. The timing of shipments depends on several factors, including agreed upon shipping schedules, which may span multiple quarters. Most performance obligations are generally satisfied within a year of the contract execution date. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $58.6 million, of which approximately 62% is expected to be converted to revenue in 2025, approximately 30% in the following twelve months, and the remainder thereafter.
