Goodwill related to our June 15, 2015, acquisition of Hudson Global Resources Management’s U.S. IT staffing business (“Hudson IT”) totaled $8.4 million. Goodwill related to our July 13, 2017, acquisition of the services division of InfoTrellis totaled $27.4 million. During 2018, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment of $9.7 million related to the InfoTrellis acquisition. Goodwill related to our October 1, 2020, acquisition of AmberLeaf totaled $6.4 million.

Declines in 2023 revenues in our Data and Analytics Services segment, compared to expectations, was viewed as a triggering event for impairment testing in the third quarter of 2023. Accordingly, we performed an interim quantitative impairment test for our Data and Analytics Services segment. The interim impairment test did not result in an impairment during the third quarter, however, further declines in revenue could have a negative impact on the implied fair value of goodwill and may result in a goodwill impairment charge in a subsequent period.
