Goodwill Valuation (Genesco Brands Group)

 

As required under ASC 350, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other," we annually assess our goodwill and indefinite lived trade names for impairment and on an interim basis if indicators of impairment are present. Our annual assessment date of goodwill and indefinite lived trade names is the first day of the fourth quarter. In accordance with ASC 350, when indicators of impairment are present on an interim basis, we must assess whether it is “more likely than not” (i.e., a greater than 50% chance) that an impairment has occurred.

 

Due to a dispute during the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 with a Genesco Brands Group licensor regarding renewal of their current license in the normal course, which was resolved in Fiscal 2025, and based on the requirements of ASC 350, we identified indicators of impairment in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024 and determined that it was "more likely than not" that an impairment had occurred and performed a full valuation of our Togast reporting unit. Consistent with our Fiscal 2023 annual assessment, our analyses included preparing an income approach and a market approach model. The fair value estimates under the income approach were sensitive to significant assumptions required to develop prospective financial information related to growth rates in sales, costs, and estimates of future expected changes in operating margins. Other significant assumptions related to estimating the weighted average cost of capital utilized for discounting cash flow estimates and terminal period growth rates. These significant assumptions were affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. The market approach model considered valuations of comparable companies as an input in the determination of the value of the reporting unit.

 

Based upon the results of these analyses, we concluded the goodwill attributed to Togast was fully impaired. As a result, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $28.5 million in the second quarter of Fiscal 2024.
