Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, if indicators of potential impairment exist, the Company will perform interim quantitative goodwill impairment analysis more frequently. As a result of these indicators being present, the Company performed interim quantitative goodwill impairment assessments for its reporting units, each of which is also a reporting segment, during the three months ended February 22, 2025, November 23, 2024 and August 24, 2024, which resulted in goodwill impairment charges of $42.0 million, $79.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively.
Third Quarter Interim Impairment Assessments

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company experienced slow recovery in business performance within the On-Demand Talent and Consulting segments. As a result, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment for each of its reporting units with associated goodwill, in which the estimated fair values of each reporting unit were compared to its respective carrying amounts. The Company’s determination of the estimated fair value was based on a combination of the income-based approach and the market-based approach. The income-based approach was based on the present value of discounted cash flows of each reporting unit, using the Company’s assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, forecasted gross profit margins, forecasted adjusted EBITDA margins, operating costs, tax rates, terminal period growth rates, and other economic and market trends. Additionally, the present value was based on applying a weighted average cost of capital, which considered long-term interest rates and cost of equity based on the reporting segment’s risk profile. The market-based approach was based on the guideline public company method, which uses market multiples of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for a group of comparable public companies. As part of the goodwill impairment test, the Company reconciled the aggregated estimated fair value of the Company's operating segments to the Company’s market capitalization, including consideration of any asymmetry in information, and control premium representing the estimated amount a market participant would pay to obtain a controlling interest in the Company.

Based on the assessment as of an interim date in the three months ended February 22, 2025, the Company concluded as follows:

On-Demand Talent – The carrying value, including $12.4 million of goodwill, was in excess of its fair value by $13.5 million. Because the excess of carrying value over fair value exceeded the goodwill balance for the segment, the Company fully impaired the goodwill balance, resulting in goodwill impairment charges of $12.4 million for the On-Demand Talent segment.
Consulting – The carrying value, including $98.4 million of goodwill, was in excess of its fair value by $24.8 million. In addition to recording this excess as a goodwill impairment charge, the Company also recorded a $4.8 million charge related to the deferred tax impacts from the excess carrying value. The Company therefore recorded an aggregate of $29.6 million in goodwill impairment charges for the Consulting segment.

Outsourced Services – The fair value exceeded its carrying value, including $28.8 million of goodwill, by 33.1%. Therefore, no impairment charges were required.
Second Quarter Interim Impairment Assessments

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company experienced a decrease in its market capitalization, along with slower than expected recovery in business performance within the On-Demand Talent and Europe and Asia Pacific segments. As a result, the Company performed a goodwill impairment assessment for each of its reporting units with associated goodwill, in which the estimated fair values of each reporting unit were compared to its respective carrying amounts. As a result of the assessment performed in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company concluded that the carrying value of On-Demand Talent and Europe and Asia Pacific segments were in excess of its fair value and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $79.5 million ($57.8 million was recorded in the On-Demand Talent segment and $21.7 million was recorded in the Europe and Asia Pacific segment).
First Quarter Interim Impairment Assessments

The goodwill impairment assessment in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was performed concurrently with the change in the Company’s operating segments, which were aligned to the Company’s reporting units and reportable segments. As a result of this segment realignment, the Company allocated goodwill to each of its reporting units under the new organizational structure on a relative fair value basis. The Company estimated the fair values of the reporting units based on the income-based approach using the discounted cash flow method, which included assumptions regarding revenue growth rates, forecasted gross profit margins, operating costs, tax rates, terminal period growth rates, and economic and market trends. Additionally, the present value of discounted cash flows was based on applying a weighted average cost of capital, which considered long-term interest rates and cost of equity based on the reporting segment’s risk profile.

As a result of this assessment, in the three months ended August 24, 2024, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Europe and Asia Pacific segment was in excess of its fair value and recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $3.9 million for its Europe and Asia Pacific Segment.

In performing the goodwill impairment assessments, the Company considers the assumptions used in determining the estimated fair values of its reporting units to be reasonable and appropriate. However, the assumptions are complex and subjective, and additional adverse changes in a key assumption or a combination of key assumptions may significantly affect the Company’s assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment. These assumptions include, among other things, a failure to meet expected earnings or other financial plans; changes in the discount rate, the terminal growth rate or tax rates; or significant changes in industry or economic trends. If the assumptions noted above adversely change, negative macroeconomic conditions worsen or the Company’s market capitalization decreases for a sustained period of time, the Company may be required to perform an additional impairment analysis that could result in additional impairment charges and materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
