The Company’s results are affected by numerous macroeconomic factors including inflation, consumer spending confidence and global supply chains. In 2022, we have experienced a higher rate of inflation than in recent years resulting in higher cost of goods, selling expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Such increases have had a negative impact on the Company’s revenue and profit margin which have contributed to a decline in the Company’s market capitalization and have been considered triggering events during the third quarter 2022 and accordingly, the Company performed interim goodwill and long-lived asset quantitative impairment tests as of September 30, 2022.

Goodwill and Long-lived Assets Impairment Test

The Company estimated the fair value of goodwill and long-lived assets using both the income approach and market approach. The income approach incorporates the use of a discounted cash flow model that involves management assumptions that are based upon future growth projections. Assumptions include estimates of future revenues, growth rates which take into account estimated inflation rates, estimates of future levels of gross profit and operating profit, projected capital expenditures and discount rates based upon industry and competitor analyses. The market approach, specifically the guideline public company method, which estimates the fair value of the Company using revenue and EBITDA multiples of selected public company peers that have similar characteristics to the Company. Upon completing both the income approach and market approach, the Company determined that its fair value exceeded the net carry values of their assets and liabilities. As such, goodwill and long-lived assets were not impaired as of September 30, 2022.
