Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the global economy, including but not limited to the volatility of the Company's stock price as well as that of its competitors, the negative impact on sales at company and franchised and licensed restaurants and the challenging environment for the restaurant industry generally, the Company determined that there were indicators of potential impairment of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the year ended December 30, 2020. As such, the Company performed impairment assessments for both goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and concluded that the fair value of these assets substantially exceeded their carrying values. However, we recorded approximately $0.1 million of impairment related to reacquired franchise rights during the year ended December 30, 2020. See Note 14.

We updated our impairment assessments as of December 30, 2020 to perform our annual impairment tests and determined that none of the recorded goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives were impaired.
