Impairment of Property and Equipment


          During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a total impairment expense of $10.9 million and $11.5 million, respectively. 

 

In the third quarter of 2025, management completed a review of remaining construction assets following the implementation of the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan (as discussed and defined in Note 20 - “Restructuring Costs”). As part of this review, certain assets were determined to no longer be usable or recoverable in ongoing operations or future network builds. Management concluded that these assets met the definition of ‘assets disposed of by abandonment under ASC 360-10.

 

As part of this assessment, management re-evaluated the estimated salvage values of the abandoned construction assets based on current market conditions and expected recoveries. This reassessment resulted in a reduction in estimated recoverable amounts, and a corresponding write-down was recorded to reflect the updated estimates as of September 30, 2025.

 

In total, $14.9 million of abandoned computer equipment and assets under construction were impaired, with an estimated salvage value of $4.9 million, resulting in a recorded impairment charge of $10.0 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025. This charge is recorded within “Impairment of property and equipment” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Additionally an impairment loss of $0.7 million was recognized related to ROU assets which is discussed under the Note 13 - Leases”.

 

There were $0.8 million of impairment charges related to specific network assets that were identified through routine inspections as being damaged and no longer in use and are recorded under “Network, other costs” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.

 

Asset Dispositions

 

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company sold property and equipment and intangibles for total consideration of $8.5 million, comprising cash proceeds and a $0.4 million indemnification holdback. The net book value of the assets at the time of the sales was $4.4 million, resulting in a gain of $4.0 million, which is included in "Gain on disposition of property and equipment" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold property and equipment and intangibles for gross proceeds of $20.8 million, comprising cash proceeds and a $1.0 million indemnification holdback. The net book value of the assets at the time of the sales was $15.0 million, resulting in a gain of $5.8 million, which is included in "Gain on disposition of property and equipment" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
