We account for our enterprise combos utilizing the acquisition technique of accounting
in accordance with ASC Subject 805 ("ASC 805"), Enterprise Mixtures. The
buy technique of accounting requires that the consideration transferred be
allotted to the property, together with individually identifiable property and
liabilities we acquired, primarily based on their estimated honest values. The consideration
transferred in an acquisition is measured as the mixture of the honest values at
the date of alternate of the property given, liabilities incurred, and fairness
devices issued in addition to the contingent concerns and all contractual
contingencies as of the acquisition date. Identifiable property, liabilities and
contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured individually at their honest
worth as of the acquisition date, no matter the extent of any
noncontrolling pursuits. The surplus of (i) the whole of value of acquisition,
honest worth of the noncontrolling pursuits and acquisition date honest worth of
any beforehand held fairness curiosity within the acquiree over, (ii) the honest worth of
the identifiable internet property of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the
value of acquisition is lower than the honest worth of the web property of the
subsidiary acquired, the distinction is acknowledged straight in earnings.
We estimate the honest worth of property acquired and liabilities assumed in a
enterprise mixture. Whereas we use our greatest estimates and assumptions to
precisely worth property acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition
date, its estimates are inherently unsure and topic to refinement.
Important estimates in valuing sure intangible property embrace, however will not be
restricted to future anticipated revenues and money flows, helpful lives, low cost
charges, and collection of comparable firms. Though we imagine the
assumptions and estimates we now have made prior to now have been affordable and
applicable, they're primarily based partly on historic expertise and data
obtained from administration of the acquired firms and are inherently unsure.
Throughout the measurement interval, which can be as much as one 12 months from the acquisition
date, we could report changes to the property acquired and liabilities assumed
with the corresponding offset to goodwill. On the conclusion of the measurement
interval or closing willpower of the values of property acquired or liabilities
assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent changes are recorded to our
consolidated statements of operations and complete earnings (loss).
Goodwill represents the surplus of the acquisition value over the honest worth of internet property acquired in a enterprise mixture. We check goodwill for impairment at least yearly, as ofDecember 31 , or at any time when occasions or modifications in circumstances point out that goodwill could be impaired. We evaluate the carrying worth of goodwill at any time when occasions or modifications in circumstances point out that such carrying values might not be recoverable and yearly for goodwill and indefinite lived intangible property as required by ASC Subject 350, Intangibles -Goodwill and Different. This steerage offers the choice to first assess qualitative elements to find out whether or not it's extra doubtless than not that the honest worth of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying worth. If, primarily based on a evaluate of qualitative elements, it's extra doubtless than not that the honest worth of a reporting unit is lower than its carrying worth, we carry out a quantitative evaluation. If the quantitative evaluation signifies the carrying worth of a reporting unit exceeds its honest worth, we measure any goodwill impairment losses as the quantity by which the carrying quantity of a reporting unit exceeds its honest worth, to not exceed the whole quantity of goodwill allotted to that reporting unit. No goodwill impairment was recorded for the 12 months endedDecember 31, 2021 . A goodwill impairment lack of$338.2 million was recorded for the 12 months endedDecember 31, 2020 .

Impairment of Lengthy-lived Belongings
We assess our long-lived property resembling property and tools and intangible property topic to amortization for impairment at any time when occasions or modifications in circumstances point out the carrying quantity of an asset might not be recoverable. Components which can point out potential impairment embrace a major underperformance associated to the historic or projected future working outcomes or a major destructive business or financial development. Recoverability of those property is measured by comparability of their carrying quantities to future undiscounted money flows which the property are anticipated to generate. If property and tools and intangible property are thought-about to be impaired, the impairment to be acknowledged equals the quantity by which the carrying worth of the property exceeds their honest worth. No impairment of long-lived property was recorded for the years endedDecember 31, 2021 and 2020.
Earnings taxes
We account for earnings taxes beneath the asset and legal responsibility technique, which requires
the popularity of deferred tax property and liabilities for the anticipated future
tax penalties of occasions which were included within the monetary statements.
Beneath this technique, we decide deferred tax property and liabilities on the idea
of the variations between the monetary assertion and tax
37
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bases of property and liabilities by utilizing enacted tax charges in impact for the
12 months during which the variations are anticipated to reverse. The impact of a change in
tax charges on deferred tax property and liabilities is acknowledged in earnings within the
interval that features the enactment date.
We acknowledge deferred tax property to the extent that we imagine that these property
are extra doubtless than to not be realized. In making such a willpower, we
think about all accessible optimistic and destructive proof, together with future
reversals of present taxable short-term variations, projected future taxable
earnings, tax-planning methods, and outcomes of latest operations. As of
December 31, 2021 , we do not need a deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
We report unsure tax positions in accordance with ASC Subject 740, Earnings Taxes
on the idea of a two-step course of during which (1) we decide whether or not it's
more-likely-than-not that the tax positions will likely be sustained on the idea of
the technical deserves of the place and (2) for these tax positions that meet
the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we acknowledge the most important quantity
of tax profit that's greater than 50 p.c more likely to be realized upon final
settlement with the associated tax authority. See Word 14 - Earnings Taxes to the
consolidated monetary statements on this Annual Report on Type 10-Okay for
