Goodwill

We perform a qualitative test for goodwill impairment any time there is a triggering event and at least annually and determined that goodwill was not impaired. Goodwill was $34.0 million as of March 31, 2026 and as of December 31, 2025.

On September 30, 2025, Gaia completed an acquisition of UTV L.L.C. (“UTV”), in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations for a purchase price of $2.5 million, of which $0.5 million was accrued for as a liability as of March 31, 2026, and will be settled in cash during 2026. This transaction resulted in $2.0 million of goodwill which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes and $0.5 million of assets including acquired media and customer relationships intangibles. The Company entered into this transaction to acquire content, expand market presence, increase member base, and market to a core growth audience focused on conscious lifestyle. There were no other adjustments to goodwill during the period. There was no impairment of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma revenue and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and are based on the individual historical results of UTV and Gaia, with adjustments to give effect as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2024 after giving effect to certain adjustments, including the amortization of intangible assets and assumes the purchase price was allocated to the assets purchased and liabilities assumed based on their fair market values at the date of purchase:
