Current report

Current report

Impairment of intangible assets. Impairment of intangible assets reflects a $42.6 million non-cash impairment charge recorded primarily for the Dogfish Head brand, taken as a result of the Company’s annual impairment analysis as of September 1, 2024. The impairment determination was primarily based on the latest forecasts of brand performance which has been below projections made on the acquisition date. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $16.4 million for the Dogfish Head brand.

Current report

Income tax provision. The Company's effective tax rate of 31.7% increased from 29.3% in the prior year. The increased effective tax rate is due to increased non-deductible compensation and the impact of the impairment charge which resulted in lower pre-tax income compared to the prior year.

Current report

Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets

Current report

The Company has recorded intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill for which impairment testing is required at least annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that these assets might be impaired. The Company performs its annual impairment tests and re-evaluates the useful lives of other intangible assets with indefinite lives at the annual impairment test measurement date in the third quarter of each fiscal year or when circumstances arise that indicate a possible impairment or change in useful life might exist.

Current report

Significant judgement is required to estimate the fair value of the Dogfish Head trademark. Accordingly, the Company obtains the assistance of third-party valuation specialists as part of the impairment evaluation. In estimating the fair value of the trademark, management must make assumptions and projections regarding future cash flows based upon future revenues, the market-based royalty rate, the discount rate, and the after-tax royalty savings expected from ownership of the trademark. The assumptions and projections used in the estimate of fair value are consistent with recent trends and represent the projections used in Company’s current strategic operating plans which include reductions in revenues from the Dogfish Head beer products. These assumptions reflect management’s estimates of future economic and competitive conditions and consider many factors including macroeconomic conditions, industry growth rates, and competitive activities and are, therefore, subject to change as a result of changing market conditions. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company will change the indefinite useful life of the Dogfish Head trademark asset and begin amortizing the remaining $14.4 million balance over an estimated useful life of 10 years.

Current report

The Company performed a sensitivity analysis on its significant assumptions used in the Dogfish Head trademark fair value calculation and determined the following:

Current report

A decrease in the annual forecasted revenue growth rate of 1.0% would result in a 4.9% decrease to the current fair value of $14.4 million.

Current report

A decrease in the discount rate of 1.5% would result in a 8.3% increase to the current fair value of $14.4 million and an increase in the discount rate of 1.5% would result in a 6.9% decrease to the current fair value of $14.4 million.

Previous report

The Company believes distributor inventory as of June 29, 2024 averaged approximately three and one half weeks on hand compared to target wholesaler inventory levels of four to five weeks for the peak summer season. These lower than target wholesaler inventory levels were the result of not fully shipping into improving demand in the latter weeks of June. The Company is working to ensure shipments in July and August build inventories at wholesalers back to target levels.

Previous report

Income tax provision. The Company's effective tax rate of 28.6% increased from 27.5% in the prior year. This increase is due to an increase in non-deductible stock compensation expense.
