Impairment of Intangible Assets

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an impairment charge of approximately $1.5 million related to intangible assets associated with Eco Pack Technologies Limited. Based on internally developed forecasts of undiscounted expected future cash flows, the Company determined that the carrying value of these assets was not recoverable.

 

Valuation of Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets acquired in business combinations, including those recognized in connection with the reconsolidation of Gresham, are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date. The Company primarily uses income-based valuation approaches to estimate fair value, including the multi-period excess earnings method and the relief-from-royalty method.

 

These valuation techniques require significant estimates and assumptions, including projected revenues, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, operating margins, contributory asset charges, and discount rates. Such measurements are classified as Level 3 fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy.
