For purposes of goodwill impairment testing, we have three reporting units, which consist of (1) our traditional franchised dealerships, (2) our EchoPark stores and (3) our powersports stores (these reporting units also represent our reportable segments). The carrying value of our goodwill totaled approximately $421.8 million at December 31, 2025, approximately $394.5 million of which was related to our franchised dealerships reporting unit and approximately $27.3 million of which was related to our powersports reporting unit. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, if the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the difference would represent the amount of the required goodwill impairment. We evaluated our Franchised Dealership Segment reporting unit on a qualitative basis as substantial cushion existed between the calculated fair value and associated carrying values in the prior year evaluation and there were not any meaningful events or trends which would significantly erode this cushion. We evaluated our Powersports Segment reporting unit on a quantitative basis. In performing the quantitative test in the Powersports Segment reporting unit for impairment of goodwill, we primarily used the income approach method of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method that utilizes inputs, including projected revenues, margin, terminal growth rates, discount rates and a market capitalization reconciliation. As a result of our April 30, 2025 annual test, we determined no impairment existed for any of our reporting units as of April 30, 2025.
