Due to a weakening global economy, driven by higher inflation and interest rates, and other factors affecting the market for our Adventure reporting unit products, we experienced significant declining revenue and profitability in our Adventure reporting unit and a decline in stock price during the year ended December 31, 2022. Revenues continued to decline unexpectedly during the three months ended December 31, 2022, due to a lack of product demand in what is typically the highest selling season for the product in Australia, in addition to a continued increase in interest rates. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2022, we reduced our sales forecasts for 2023 and beyond in our Adventure reporting unit. As part of our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2022, we performed a quantitative

assessment using income-based and market-based approaches. As a result of this assessment, the carrying value of our Adventure reporting unit exceeded the related estimated fair value, thus an impairment of goodwill of $52,071 was recorded.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in indefinite-lived intangible assets:

As part of our annual impairment test as of December 31, 2022, we performed a quantitative assessment using the relief-from-royalty method. As described above, we reduced our sales forecasts for 2023 and beyond in our Adventure reporting unit. As a result of this assessment, the carrying value of the Rhino-Rack trademark recorded within our Adventure reporting unit exceeded the estimated related fair value, thus an impairment of the Rhino-Rack trademark of $40,240 was recorded.

If we do not achieve the results reflected in the forecasts utilized in our impairment assessments, or if there are changes to market assumptions, all of which require significant estimates and assumptions, our valuation of the reporting unit, including related indefinite-lived intangible assets, could be adversely affected, and we may be required to impair an additional portion or all of the related goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and other long-lived assets which could adversely affect our operating results in the period of impairment.

Trademarks classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets by brand as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, were as follows:
