Current report
Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment
Current report
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company identifies the Company’s reporting units by assessing whether the components of the Company constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. The Company’s goodwill is contained in the Legacy Blink reporting unit resulting from the acquisition of SemaConnect and the Mobility reporting unit resulting from the acquisition of Envoy Technologies.
Current report
Based on its analysis, the Company determined that the Legacy Blink reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value as of September 30, 2024. Consequently, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $69,111 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Current report
As a result of the impairment analysis it was determined that the Mobility reporting unit qualifies as “at risk” for impairment. The Company quantitatively defines “at risk” as a percentage of the excess of the reporting unit’s fair value over its carrying amount that is less than 10%. An “at risk” reporting unit qualitatively represents a reporting unit with a higher degree of uncertainty of the reporting unit’s ability to meet its forecasted cash flows based upon revenue growth rate and operating margin assumptions relied upon in the estimation of its fair value. As of September 2024, the Mobility reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded its fair value by approximately 4%. The goodwill attributable to the Mobility reporting unit as of September 30, 2024 was $27,536.

Other operating expenses increased by $42, or 1%, to $4,958 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $4,916 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Growth- Our growth is highly dependent on the adoption by consumers of EVs, and we are subject to the risk of reduced demand for EVs. The market for alternative fuel vehicles is still relatively new, rapidly evolving, and characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles, and specifically EVs, include perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to battery chemistries), design, performance and cost; the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use; improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine; consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive; the environmental consciousness of consumers; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts; government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy; access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate EVs or future regulation requiring increased use of non-polluting vehicles. If the market for EVs does not gain broad market acceptance or develops slower than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results may be adversely affected.
