4. Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents consideration in excess of fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. As of March 31, 2022, the total balance of goodwill was $166,180, an increase of $1,092 from December 31, 2021, as a result of the True North Acquisition (see Note 11Business acquisition). The balance also relates to the acquisition of Interactive Data, LLC, the Fluent LLC Acquisition, the Q Interactive Acquisition, the AdParlor Acquisition, and the Initial Winopoly Acquisition (see Note 11Business acquisition). In connection with the Initial Winopoly Acquisition, the Company recorded 100% equity ownership for GAAP purposes due to Winopoly's status as aVIE for which the Company is a primary beneficiary, so no further goodwill was acquired in connection with the Full Winopoly Acquisition described in Note 11, Business acquisition 

 

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. The measurement date of the Company's annual goodwill impairment test is October 1.

 

The Company completed its quarterly triggering event assessments for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and determined no triggering event had occurred that would require interim impairment assessments for its remaining goodwill. However, if there is a reduction in operating results or a decline in the market value of its publicly-traded stock, this could result in future impairment charges.
