The Company performed its 2015 annual impairment test for its indefinite-lived trade names as of October 1, 2015. The Company elected to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s indefinite-lived trade names are less than the carrying values. The Company considered events and circumstances that could affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair values of the indefinite-lived trade names. Based on the qualitative assessment, the Company determined it is not more likely than not that the fair values of the Company’s indefinite-lived trade names are less than the carrying values. In 2014, the Company performed quantitative impairment test for its indefinite-lived trade names which involved the assessment of the fair market values of the Company’s indefinite-lived trade names based on Level 3 unobservable inputs, using a relief from royalty approach, assuming a discount rate of 14.0%-15.5% and an average long term growth rate of 2.5%-3%. The result of the impairment assessment of the Company’s indefinite-lived trade names indicated that the carrying values of the Elements® and Melannco® trade names exceeded their fair values as of October 1, 2014. The Company’s home décor products category has experienced a decline in sales and profit in recent years. The Company believes the most significant factor resulting in the decline was the reduction in retail space allocated by the Company’s customers to the category which has also contributed to pricing pressure. As a result of these factors, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $3.4 million, related to these brands, in its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition, as of October 1, 2015 and December 31, 2015, the Company assessed the carrying value of its goodwill and determined based on quantitative and qualitative factors that no impairment existed. The Company bypassed the optional qualitative impairment analysis for its three reporting units with goodwill for its October 1, 2015 impairment test. Accordingly, the first step of the two step goodwill impairment test as described was performed. Under the first step, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is calculated by the discounted cash flow method. The significant assumptions used under the discounted cash flow method are projected net sales, projected earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), terminal growth rates, and the cost of capital. Projected net sales, projected EBITDA and terminal growth rates were determined to be significant assumptions because they are three primary drivers of the projected cash flows in the discounted cash flow fair value model. Cost of capital was also determined to be a significant assumption as it is the discount rate used to calculate the current fair value of those projected cash flows. Under this approach, the resultant estimated fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded their carrying value as of October 1, 2015 and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded. For one of the reporting units tested under the first step, the Kitchen Craft reporting unit, which carried goodwill of $13.0 million, the excess of fair value over its carrying value was 5%. This reporting unit was acquired in 2014, and therefore the Company did not expect the fair value to be significantly in excess of the carrying value. There were no fundamental changes in the business that would indicate a significant decline in the fair value since the acquisition date, however macroeconomic conditions in Europe have contributed to a decline in EBITDA. Management’s projections used to estimate the undiscounted cash flows included increasing net sales and operational improvements designed to reduce costs. Changes in any of the significant assumptions used can materially affect the expected cash flows, and such impacts can result in the requirement to proceed to the second step of the test and potentially a material non-cash impairment charge could result. The Company is not currently aware of any negative changes in its assumptions that could lead to the fair value of the reporting units being less than the carrying value.
