The Company also reviews goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of its goodwill may not be recoverable. After the close of each interim quarter, management assesses whether there exists any indicators of impairment requiring the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis.

For 2020, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether indicators of impairment existed.

Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was not more-likely-than-not that an impairment existed as of December 31, 2020. There were no further indicators of impairment during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

First quarter of 2020 Interim impairment Testing

As of March 31, 2020, the Company recognized the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact as a negative indicator to its business performance. As a result, the Company performed an assessment to determine whether goodwill was impaired. Based upon such assessment, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that only the carrying value of its non-cannabinoid operating segment exceeded the fair value as of March 31, 2020.

Following the results of such assessment, the Company recorded an impairment for the full carrying value of the operating segment’s goodwill carrying value. The Company calculated the fair value of the operating segment using discounted estimated future cash flows. The weighted-average cost of capital used in testing the reporting unit for impairment was 19%, with a perpetual growth rate of 2%. As a result of this interim impairment testing, the Company recognized a $1,682 non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to the non-cannabinoid operating segment in the first quarter of 2020. Following the recognition of this non-cash goodwill impairment charge, the operating segment’s goodwill was nil.
