9. Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the balance of goodwill includes $5,227 as a result of the acquisition of Interactive Data effective on October 2, 2014, $155,645 as a result of the Fluent Acquisition effective on December 8, 2015, and $5,384 as a result of the Q Interactive Acquisition effective on June 8, 2016.

 

In accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds the carrying value. We performed our annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2017 which resulted in no impairment of goodwill.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there are no events or changes in circumstances to indicate that goodwill is impaired.
