Seasonality
Earnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarter produce the highest net sales during our fiscal year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
As of January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"). The new standard requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard update offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. In July 2018,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued two updates to Topic 842 to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, and to give entities another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing the new standard. The transition option allows entities to not apply the new lease standard in the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard using the optional transition method. The reported results for reporting periods after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new lease guidance while prior period amounts were prepared under the previous lease guidance.
The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We additionally elected to use the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component and the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. In addition, the new standard provides for an accounting election that permits a lessee to elect not to apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term leases by class of underlying asset. The Company adopted this accounting election for all classes of assets.
The Company has performed an assessment of the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for the Company's leases, which consist of manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office facilities, retail stores, equipment and vehicle leases. The adoption of the new lease standard on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $90.6 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $97.4 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We implemented processes and a lease accounting system to ensure adequate internal controls were in place to assess our leasing arrangements and enable proper accounting and reporting of financial information upon adoption. No cumulative effect adjustment was recognized as the amount was not material. Refer to "Note O - Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding the Company's adoption of Topic 842.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which will requirerequires companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities

net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The guidance was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This guidance removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. This guidance also clarifies and simplifies other areas of ASC 740. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 20192021 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note B — Acquisitions
Acquisition of Foam Fabricators
On February 15, 2018, pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 18, 2018, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, FFI Compass, Inc. (“Buyer”), entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Warren F. Florkiewicz (“Seller”) pursuant to which Buyer acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Foam Fabricators, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Foam Fabricators”). Foam Fabricators is a leading designer and manufacturer of custom molded protective foam solutions and original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") components made from expanded polymers such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) and expanded polypropylene (EPP). Founded in 1957 and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, it operates 13 molding and fabricating facilities across North America and provides products to a variety of end-markets, including appliances and electronics, pharmaceuticals, health and wellness, automotive, building and other products.

The Company made loans to, and purchased a 100% controlling interest in Foam Fabricators. The final purchase price, after the working capital settlement and net of transaction costs, was approximately $253.4 million. The Company funded the acquisition through a draw on the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. CGM acted as an advisor to the Company in the acquisition and provided integration services during the first year of the Company's ownership. CGM received integration service fees of $2.25 million payable over a twelve month period as services were rendered. The Company incurred $1.6 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the Foam Fabricators acquisition, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The results of operations of Foam Fabricators have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Foam Fabricator's results of operations are reported as a separate operating segment.
The allocation of the purchase price, which was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2018, was based upon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates were based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities were estimated at their historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment was valued through a purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The tradename was valued at $4.2 million using a relief from royalty methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent that the ownership of the asset relieves the company from the obligation of paying royalties for the benefits generated by the asset. The customer relationships intangible asset was valued at $114.1 million using an excess earnings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the required returns on the other assets utilized in the business. The customer relationships intangible asset was derived using a risk adjusted discount rate.
Acquisition of Rimports
On February 26, 2018, the Company's Sterno subsidiary acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Rimports, Inc., a Utah corporation (“Rimports”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 23, 2018, by and among Sterno and Jeffery W. Palmer, individually and in his capacity as Seller Representative, the Jeffery Wayne Palmer Dynasty Trust dated December 26, 2011, the Angela Marie Palmer Irrevocable Trust dated December 26, 2011, the Angela Marie Palmer Charitable Lead Trust, the Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, the TAK Irrevocable Trust dated June 7, 2012, and the SAK Irrevocable Trust dated June 7, 2012. Headquartered in Provo, Utah, Rimports is a manufacturer and distributor of branded and private label scented wickless candle products used for home décor and fragrance. Rimports offers an extensive line of wax warmers, scented wax cubes, essential oils and diffusers, and other home fragrance systems, through the mass retailer channel.
Sterno purchased a 100% controlling interest in Rimports. The purchase price, after the working capital settlement and net of transaction costs, was approximately $154.4 million. The purchase price of Rimports included a potential earn-out of up to $25 million contingent on the attainment of certain future performance criteria of Rimports for the twelve-month period from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and the fourteen month period from March 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated at $4.8 million. Sterno funded the acquisition through their intercompany credit facility with the Company. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. Sterno incurred $0.6 million of transaction costs in conjunction with the acquisition of Rimports, which was included in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated results of operations in the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The results of operations of Rimports have been included in the consolidated results of operations since the date of acquisition. Rimport's results of operations are included in the Sterno operating segment.
The allocation of the purchase price, which was finalized during the fourth quarter of 2018, was based upon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates were based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities were estimated at their historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment was valued through a purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce and non-contractual relationships, as well as expected future synergies. The tradename was valued at $6.6 million using a relief from royalty methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent that the ownership of the asset

relieves the company from the obligation of paying royalties for the benefits generated by the asset. The customer relationships intangible asset was valued at $79.1 million using an excess earnings methodology, in which an asset is valuable to the extent it enables its owners to earn a return in excess of the required returns on the other assets utilized in the business. The customer relationships intangible asset was derived using a risk adjusted discount rate.

Note GF — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As a result of acquisitions of various businesses, the Company has significant intangible assets on its balance sheet that include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested and reviewed for impairment annually as of March 31st or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Each of the Company’s businesses represent a reporting unit.
Goodwill
2020 Annual Impairment Testing
The Arnold business previously comprised 3Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing. We determined that the Ergobaby, Foam Fabricators and Velocity reporting units when it was acquired in March 2012, but as a resultrequired additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of changes implemented by Arnold management during 2016 and 2017, the Company reassessed the reporting units at Arnold as of the annual impairment testing date in 2018. After evaluating changes in the operation ofunit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. For the reporting units that led to increased integration and altered howwere tested qualitatively for the financial2020 annual impairment testing, the results of the Arnold operating segmentqualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded the carrying value of these reporting units.
The quantitative tests of Ergobaby, Foam Fabricators and Velocity were assessed by Arnold management,performed using an income approach to determine the Company determined thatfair value of the previously identified reporting units no longer operateunits. For Ergobaby, the discount rate used in the same manner as they did whenincome approach was 15.9% and the Company acquired Arnold. As a result,results of the separate Arnold reporting units were determined to only comprise onequantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Ergobaby reporting unit atexceeded the Arnold operating segment level as of March 31, 2018. As partcarrying value by 14.0%. For Foam Fabricators, the discount rate used in the income approach was 13.3%, and the results of the exercisequantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of combining the separate Arnold reporting units into oneFoam Fabricators reporting unit exceeded the Company performed "before"carrying value by 3.8%. For Velocity, the discount rate used in the income approach was 12.8%, and "after" goodwillthe results of the quantitative impairment testing whereby we performedindicated that the annual impairment testing for eachfair value of the existing reporting units of Arnold and then subsequent to the completion of the annual impairment testing of the separate reporting units, we performed a quantitative impairment test of the Arnold operating segment, which will represent theVelocity reporting unit for future impairment tests.

Goodwillexceeded the carrying value by 16.4%.
2019 Interim Impairment Testing
Velocity Outdoor
The Company performed interim quantitative impairment testing of Velocity Outdoor at September 30, 2019. As a result of operating results below forecasts in the current period as well as a re-forecast of the Velocity business in which planned earnings and revenue fell below the forecasts of prior periods, the Company determined that a triggering event occurred in the third quarter of 2019. The Company used an income approach for the impairment test, whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The Company used a weighted average cost of capital of 12.2% in the income approach. The discount rate used was based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business specific characteristics and Velocity's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, indicating that the goodwill at Velocity iswas impaired. The difference between the carrying value and fair value of the Velocity business was $33.4$32.9 million, which the Company has recorded as impairment expense asin the consolidated statement of September 30,operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company expects to finalize the impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2019.

2019 Annual Impairment Testing
The Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing. All of the Company's reporting units except Liberty were tested qualitatively at March 31, 2019. We determined that the Liberty reporting unit required additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. We used an income approach and market approach for the quantitative impairment test that was performed of the Liberty business at March 31, 2019, with equal weighting assigned to each. The discount rate used in the income approach was 14.8%. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Liberty reporting unit exceeded the carrying value. For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the 2019 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.
2018 Annual Impairment Testing
For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the 2018 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value exceeded their carrying value. At March 31, 2018, we determined that the Flexmag reporting unit of Arnold required additional quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. For the quantitative impairment test of Flexmag, we estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach, whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company and reporting unit specific economic conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the business and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The discount rate used in the income approach for Flexmag was 12.4%.
For the reporting unit change at Arnold, a quantitative impairment test was performed of the Arnold business at March 31, 2018 using an income approach. The discount rate used in the income approach was 12.6%. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Arnold reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

Long lived assets
Annual indefinite lived impairment testing
The Company used a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. The Company evaluated the qualitative factors of each indefinite lived intangible asset in connection with the annual impairment testing for 20192020 and 2018.2019. Results of the qualitative analysis indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting units that maintain indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded the carrying value. The Ergobaby and Liberty reporting units have indefinite lived trade names that were tested in conjunction with the goodwill impairment tests at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the trade names were not impaired.

2018 Credit Facility
On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2018 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2014 Credit Facility, originally dated as of June 6, 2014 (as previously amended) among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The 2018 Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all of its equity interests in, and loans to, its consolidated subsidiaries. The 2018 Credit Facility provides for (i) revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million, (the "2018 Revolving Loan Commitment"), and (ii) a $500 million term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”). The 2018 Credit Facility also permits the Company, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the revolving loan commitment and/or obtain additional term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million (the “Incremental Loans”), subject to certain restrictions and conditions.

2018 Revolving Credit Facility

The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay debt under its existing credit facilities in connection with a concurrent refinancing transaction described above. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 18, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.
The Notes bear interest at the rate of 8.000% per annum and will mature on May 1, 2026.

The Notes rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including the indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities described above.
The Indenture contains several restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on the following: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) restricted payments, (iii) dividends and other payments affecting restricted subsidiaries, (iv) the issuance of preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries, (v) transactions with affiliates, (vi) asset sales and mergers and consolidations, (vii) future subsidiary guarantees and (viii) liens, subject in each case to certain exceptions.

(1)The contingent consideration relates to Sterno's acquisition of Rimports in February 2018. The purchase price of Rimports includes a potential earn-out of up to $25 million contingent on the attainment of certain future performance criteria of Rimports for the twelve-month period from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and the fourteen month period from March 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the earn-out was estimated at $4.8 million at acquisition date and was calculated as the present value of a probability adjusted earnout payment based on the expected term of the payment and a risk-adjusted discount rate. At December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the probability of achieving the earn-out was zero and therefore reversed the amount that was recorded as part of the purchase consideration.
(2) The contingent consideration relatesrelated to Velocity's acquisition of Ravin in September 2018. The purchase price of Ravin includesincluded a potential earn-out of up to $25.0 million contingent on the achievement of certain financial metrics for the trailing twelve month period ending December 31, 2018. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated at $4.7 million at acquisition date and was calculated using a risk-adjusted option pricing model. The earnout was adjusted to $4.3$6.4 million atand paid out during the year ended December 31, 2018 based on actual results to date. The earnout is currently subject to arbitration and will be paid once the final amount is determined through the arbitration process.2019.
Valuation Techniques
2018 Term Loan
We classify our fixed and floating rate debt as Level 2 items based on quoted market prices for similar debt issues. In April 2018, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2026. The fair value of the Senior Notes was determined based on quoted market prices obtained through an external pricing source which derives its price valuations from daily marketplace transactions, with adjustments to reflect the spreads of benchmark bonds, credit risk and certain other variables. We have determined this to be a Level 2 measurement as all significant inputs into the quote provided by our pricing source are observable in active markets. At September 30, 2019, the carrying value of the principal under the Company’s outstanding 2018 Term Loan, including the current portion, was $298.8 million, which approximates fair value because it has a variable interest rate that reflects market changes in interest rates and changes in the Company's net leverage ratio.

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any of its other financial assets and liabilities during the period. For details of the Company’s fair value measurement policies under the fair value hierarchy, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
There were no assets or liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a non-recurring basis as of September 30,December 31, 2019. Refer to "Note GF – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", for a description of the valuation techniques used to determine fair value of the assets measured on a non-recurring basis in the table below.

Note ML — Income taxes
Each fiscal quarter, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its interim pre-tax earnings. In this regard, the Company reflects the full year’s estimated tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates in the interim period in which they occur.
The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate in each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment, including the projected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in other jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes. Certain foreign operations are subject to foreign income taxation under existing provisions of the laws of those jurisdictions.
The reconciliation between the Federal Statutory Rate and the effective income tax rate for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Note NM — Defined Benefit Plan
In connection with the acquisition of Arnold, the Company has a defined benefit plan covering substantially all of Arnold’s employees at its Lupfig, Switzerland location. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ highest average compensation during the specific period.
The unfunded liability of $5.7$4.2 million is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other non-current liabilities at September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. Net periodic benefit cost consists of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020, per the terms of the pension agreement, Arnold contributed $0.3$0.1 million to the plan. For the remainder of 2019,2020, the expected contribution to the plan will be approximately $0.5$1.1 million.
The plan assets are pooled with assets of other participating employers and are not separable; therefore, the fair values of the pension plan assets at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were considered Level 3.
Note ON - Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that any unfavorable outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Leases
The Company and its subsidiaries lease manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office facilities, retail stores, equipment and vehicles under various operating arrangements. Certain of the leases are subject to escalation clauses and renewal periods. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize lease expense, including predetermined fixed escalations, on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease including reasonably assured renewal periods from the time that

the Company and its subsidiaries control the leased property. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our subsidiaries have leases that contain both fixed rent costs and variable rent costs based on achievement of certain operating metrics.  The variable lease expense has not been material on a historic basis and no amount was incurred during the quarter ending September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company recognized $6.3$7.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively, in expense related to operating leases in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The maturities of lease liabilities at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):
2019 (excluding nine months ended September 30, 2019) $4,775

Present value of lease liabilities $91,229

The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the company's discretion. In general, it is not reasonably certain that lease renewals will be exercised at lease commencement and therefore lease renewals are not included in the lease term. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of a rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate of the subsidiary entering into the lease arrangement, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term as adjusted for any country specific risk. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.
The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of our operating leases were as follows as of September 30, 2019:March 31, 2020:
Lease Term and Discount Rate  
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years) 6.416.39
Weighted-average discount rate 7.837.75%

Note PO — Related Party Transactions
Management Services Agreement
The Company entered into a Management Services Agreement ("MSA")the MSA with CGM effective May 16, 2006. The MSA provides for, among other things, CGM to perform services for the Company in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the Company's adjusted net assets, as defined in the MSA. Concurrent with the June 2019 sale of Clean Earth (refer to Note CB - Discontinued Operations), CGM agreed to waive the management fee on cash balances held at the Company, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrows under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2020, as a proactive measure to provide the Company with additional cash liquidity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to draw down $200 million on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee attributable to the cash balances held at the Company as of March 31, 2020. In addition, as a result of an expected decline in earnings and cash flows in the second quarter of 2020, CGM has agreed to waive 50% of the management fee calculated at June 30, 2020 that will be paid in July 2020.
Integration Services Agreements
Foam Fabricators, which was acquired in 2018, and Velocity Outdoor, which was acquired in 2017, each entered into an Integration Services Agreement ("ISA") with CGM.  The ISA provides for CGM to provide services for new platform acquisitions to, amongst other things, assist the management at the acquired entities in establishing a corporate governance program, implement compliance and reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and align the acquired entity's policies and procedures with our other subsidiaries.  EachThe ISA is for the twelve monthtwelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition. Velocity Outdoor paid CGM a total of $1.5 million in integration services fees, with $0.75 million paid in 2018. Foam Fabricators paid CGM $2.3 million over the term of the ISA, with $2.0 million paid in 2018 and $0.3 million in 2019. Integration services fees are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the subsidiaries' statement of operations in the period in which they are incurred.
The Company and its businesses have the following significant related party transactions:
Sterno Recapitalization
In January 2018, the Company completed a recapitalization at Sterno whereby the Company entered into an amendment to the intercompany loan agreement with Sterno (the "Sterno Loan Agreement"). The Sterno Loan Agreement was amended to (i) provide for term loan borrowings of $56.8 million to fund a distribution to the Company, which owned 100% of the outstanding equity of Sterno at the time of the recapitalization, and (ii) extend the maturity dates of the term loans. In connection with the recapitalization, Sterno's management team exercised all of their vested stock options, which represented 58,000 shares of Sterno. The Company then used a portion of the distribution to repurchase the 58,000 shares from management for a total purchase price of $6.0 million. In addition, Sterno issued new stock options to replace the exercised options, thus maintaining the same percentage of fully diluted non-controlling interest that existed prior to the recapitalization.
5.11
Related Party Vendor Purchases - 5.11 purchases inventory from a vendor who is a related party to 5.11 through one of the executive officers of 5.11 via the executive's 40% ownership interest in the vendor. During the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, 5.11 purchased approximately $1.1$0.5 million and $3.2$1.3 million, respectively, in inventory from the vendor.

Note P - Subsequent Event
Acquisition of Marucci Sports, LLC
On March 6, 2020, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, Wheelhouse Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Marucci Sports, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Marucci”), Wheelhouse Holdings Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Buyer (“Merger Sub”), and, Wheelhouse 2020 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (in its capacity as the representative of the unit holders and option holders of Marucci), pursuant to which Merger Sub was to merge with and into Marucci (the “Merger”) such that the separate existence of Merger Sub would cease, with Marucci surviving the Merger as a subsidiary of Buyer. Headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Marucci is a leading manufacturer and distributor of baseball and softball equipment.

The Buyer, via the Merger, completed the acquisition of Marucci on April 20, 2020 for a total purchase price of approximately $200 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments based on matters such as the working capital and indebtedness balances at the time of the closing. The Company funded the purchase price using funds drawn on its 2018 Revolving Credit Facility in March 2020. The Company's initial equity ownership in Marucci is approximately 92%, as certain existing stakeholders in Marucci invested in the transaction alongside the Company.

companies. Cash flows coming to the Trust and the Company are the result of interest payments on those loans, amortization of those loans and dividends on our equity ownership. However, on a consolidated basis, these items will be eliminated.

The decrease was attributable to the salessale of Manitoba Harvest in the first quarter of 2019 and Clean Earth in the second quarter of 2019. Concurrent with the June 2019 sale of Clean Earth, CGM agreed to waive the management fee on cash balances held at the Company, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrowsborrowed under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities in the current year was also attributable to the change in the mark-to-market on our interest rate swap, with the nine months ended September 30, 2018 having an unrealized gain of $4.6 million, and the nine months ending September 30, 2019 having an unrealized loss of $3.5 million, for a net change of $8.1 million due to the change in the present value of future payments and receipts under the interest rate swap agreement.

Intercompany Debt
A component of our acquisition financing strategy that we utilize in acquiring the businesses we own and manage is to provide both equity capital and debt capital, raised at the parent level through our existing credit facility. Our strategy of providing intercompany debt financing within the capital structure of the businesses that we acquire and manage allows us the ability to distribute cash to the parent company through monthly interest payments and amortization of the principal on these intercompany loans. Each loan to our businesses has a scheduled maturity and each business is entitled to repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the outstanding loans, without penalty, prior to maturity. Certain of our businesses have paid down their respective intercompany debt balances through the cash flow generated by these businesses and we have recapitalized, and expect to continue to recapitalize, these businesses in the normal course of our business. The recapitalization process involves funding the intercompany debt using either cash on hand at the parent or our applicable Credit Facility, and serves the purpose of optimizing the capital structure at our subsidiaries and providing the noncontrolling shareholders with a distribution on their ownership interest in a cash flow positive business. In January 2018, the Company completed a recapitalization at Sterno whereby the Company entered into an amendment to the intercompany loan agreement with Sterno (the "Sterno Loan Agreement"). The Sterno Loan Agreement was amended to (i) provide for term loan borrowings of $57.7 million to fund a distribution to the Company, which owned 100% of the outstanding equity of Sterno at the time of the recapitalization, and (ii) extend the maturity dates of the term loans.
In the first quarter of 2019, we amended the 5.11 intercompany debt agreement to update the definition of capital expenditures to exclude capital expenditures made with respect to 5.11's retail stores from the calculation of the fixed

charge coverage ratio. 5.11 was in compliance with the covenants under their intercompany debt agreement at September 30, 2019. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2018, we amended the Sterno Loan Agreement to increase the amount available to Sterno under their intercompany revolving credit facility. Liberty was not in compliance with the financial covenants under their intercompany loan agreement at December 31, 2018, and we amended the Liberty intercompany debt agreement to grant a waiver to them through the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Liberty was in compliance with all financial covenants at September 30, 2019. Except as previously noted, allAll of our subsidiaries were in compliance with the financial covenants included within their intercompany credit arrangements at September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had the following outstanding loans due from each of our businesses:

Our primary source of cash is from the receipt of interest and principal on the outstanding loans to our businesses. Accordingly, we are dependent upon the earnings of and cash flow from these businesses, which are available for (i) operating expenses; (ii) payment of principal and interest under our 2018 Credit Facility; (iii) payments to CGM due pursuant to the MSA and the LLC Agreement; (iv) cash distributions to our shareholders; and (v) investments in future acquisitions. Payments made under (iii) above are required to be paid before distributions to shareholders and may be significant and exceed the funds held by us, which may require us to dispose of assets or incur debt to fund such expenditures.
We believe that we currently have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our existing obligations, including quarterly distributions to our shareholders, as approved by our board of directors, over the next twelve months.
Financing Arrangements
2018 Credit Facility
In April 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2018 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2014 Credit Facility. The 2018 Credit Facility provides for (i) revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) up to a maximum aggregate amount of $600 million, (the “2018 Revolving Loan Commitment”), and (ii) a $500 million term loan (the “2018 Term Loan”). The 2018 Credit Facility also permits the Company, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the revolving loan commitment and/or obtain additional term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $250 million (the “Incremental Loans”), subject to certain restrictions and conditions. In Jul 2019, we repaid $193.8 million of the 2018 Term Loan, and in November 2019, we repaid the remaining $298.8 million due under the 2018 Term Loan.

We had $596.4$396.4 million in net availability under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility at September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. The outstanding borrowings under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility include $3.6 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2019. At September 30, 2019, we had $298.8 million outstanding on the 2018 Term Loan. In July 2019, the Company repaid approximately $193.8 million of the 2018 Term Loan using a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of Clean Earth.March 31, 2020.
Senior Notes
On April 18, 2018, we consummated the issuance and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.000% due 2026 (the "Notes" or "Senior Notes") offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 18, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 8.000% per annum and will mature on May 1, 2026. Interest on the Notes is payable in cash on May 1st and November 1st of each year. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries.


The following table reflects required and actual financial ratios as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 included as part of the affirmative covenants in our 2018 Credit Facility.

At September 30, 2019, the ratio calculations exclude $90.3 million of cash as a result of Qualifying Control Agreements not in place as of the end of the quarter.  Subsequent to quarter end, the Qualifying Control Agreements were established for this cash and the resulting calculations would have been reduced for this cash balance.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
GAAP or U.S. GAAP refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. From time to time we may publicly disclose certain "non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of our investor presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls or other venues. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements, and vice versa for measures that include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that effectively include amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure as calculated and presented.
Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment ("CAD").

Reconciliation of Net income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA – EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense and amortization expense. Amortization expenses consist of amortization of intangibles and debt charges, including debt issuance costs, discounts, etc.
Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is calculated utilizing the same calculation as described above in arriving at EBITDA further adjusted by: (i) noncontrolling stockholder compensation, which generally consists of non-cash stock option expense; (ii) successful acquisition costs, which consist of transaction costs (legal, accounting, due diligence, etc.) incurred in connection with the successful acquisition of a business expensed during the period in compliance with ASC 805; (iii) management fees, which reflect fees due quarterly to our Manager in connection with our MSA, as well as Integration Services Fees paid by newly acquired companies; (iv) impairment charges, which reflect write downs to goodwill or other intangible assets; and (vi)(v) foreign currency transaction gains or losses incurred in connection with the conversion of intercompany debt from a foreign functional currency to U.S. dollar.
We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and reflect important financial measures as they exclude the effects of items which reflect the impact of long-term investment decisions, rather than the performance of near term operations. When compared to income (loss) from continuing operations these financial measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capital assets used in generating revenues of our businesses or the non-cash charges associated with impairments. This presentation also allows investors to view the performance of our businesses in a manner similar to the methods used by us and the management of our businesses, provides additional insight into our operating results and provides a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition.
We believe that these measurements are also useful in measuring our ability to service debt and other payment obligations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which we consider to be the most comparable GAAP financial measure (in thousands):

Reconciliation of Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment
The table below details cash receipts and payments that are not reflected on our income statement in order to provide an additional measure of management's estimate of cash flow available for distribution ("CAD"). CAD is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides additional, useful information to our shareholders in order to enable them to evaluate our ability to make anticipated quarterly distributions. CAD is not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
The following table reconciles CAD to net income (loss) and cash flows provided by operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Seasonality
Earnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarter produce the highest net sales during our fiscal year.
Related Party Transactions
Management Services Agreement
We entered into a Management Services Agreement ("MSA")the MSA with CGM effective May 16, 2006. The MSA provides for, among other things, CGM to perform services for the Company in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the Company's adjusted net assets, as defined in the MSA. Concurrent with the June 2019 sale of Clean Earth (refer to Note CB - Discontinued Operations), CGM agreed to waive the management fee on cash balances held at the Company, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrowsborrowed under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2020, as a proactive measure to provide the Company with additional cash liquidity in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company elected to draw down $200 million on our 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company and CGM entered into a waiver agreement whereby CGM agreed to waive the portion of the management fee attributable to the cash balances held at the Company as of March 31, 2020. In addition, as a result of an expected decline in earnings and cash flows in the second quarter of 2020, CGM has agreed to waive 50% of the management fee calculated at June 30, 2020 that will be paid in July 2020.
Integrations Services Agreements
Foam Fabricators, which was acquired in 2018, entered into an Integration Services Agreement ("ISA") with CGM.  The ISA provides for CGM to provide services for new platform acquisitions to, amongst other things, assist the management at the acquired entities in establishing a corporate governance program, implement compliance and reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and align the acquired entity's policies and procedures with our other subsidiaries.  Each ISA is for the twelve-month period subsequent to the acquisition. Foam Fabricators paid CGM $2.3 million over the term of the ISA, with $2.0 million paid in 2018 and $0.3 million in 2019.

5.11 - Related Party Vendor Purchases
5.11 purchases inventory from a vendor who is a related party to 5.11 through one of the executive officers of 5.11 via the executive's 40% ownership interest in the vendor. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, 5.11 purchased approximately $3.2$0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in inventory from the vendor.
Profit Allocation Payments
October 2019 represented the five-year anniversary of the Company's acquisition of Sterno, which qualified as a Holding Event under the Company's LLC Agreement (the "Sterno Holding Event"). During the first quarter of 2020, the Company declared and paid a distribution of $9.1 million to the Allocation Member related to the Sterno Holding Event. The ten-year anniversary of Liberty occurred in March 2020 which represented a Holding Event. The holders of the Allocation Interests elected to defer the distribution of $3.3 million until after the end of 2020.
The sales of Manitoba Harvest in February 2019 and Clean Earth in June 2019 each qualified as a Sale Event under the Company's LLC Agreement. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company declared and paid a distribution to the Allocation Member in connection withof $8.0 million related to the Sale Eventsale of Manitoba Harvest of $7.7 million which was paid in the second quarter of 2019.and working capital settlements from prior Sale Events. The profit allocation distribution was calculated based on the portion of the gain on sale related to the Closing Date Consideration, less the loss on sale of shares that were received as part of the Closing Consideration. An additional profit allocation distribution related to the Sale Event of Manitoba Harvest will be declared subsequent to receipt of the Deferred Consideration in August 2019. During the third quarter of 2019, the Company declared and paid a distribution to the Allocation Member in connection with the Sale Event of Clean Earth of $43.3 million which was paid inrelated to the third quartersale of 2019.Clean Earth.

(4) 
The contractual obligation table does not include approximately $1.1 million in liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 as the timing of the recognition of this liability is not certain. The amount of the liability is not expected to significantly change in the next twelve months.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different conditions. These critical accounting estimates are reviewed periodically by our independent auditors and the audit committee of our board of directors.
Except as set forth below, our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 27, 2019.26, 2020.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess amount of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31st, and if current events or circumstances require, on an interim basis. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are generally an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. Each of our businesses represents a reporting unit.
We use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely than-notmore-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is lessgreater than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment testing. The qualitative factors we consider include, in part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. If qualitative factors are not sufficient to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to exceed its carrying value.value, we will perform a

quantitative test of the reporting unit whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach or market approach, or a weighting of the two methods. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of our reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on Management'smanagement's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions

as well as company specific economic factors. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the business and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable public companies with operating characteristics that are similar to the reporting unit. When market comparables are not meaningful or available, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using only the income approach.
2020 Annual Impairment Testing - For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2020, we performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units. As part of our current year analysis, we have considered how we expect the COVID-19 pandemic to impact our future operating results and short and long-term financial condition. In addition to the typical qualitative factors we consider as part of the assessment, we went through a process with each of our reporting units whereby we considered various scenarios for the remainder of the year, probability weighted for what we consider the most likely outcome given existing facts and circumstances. This process included consideration of the reporting unit's industry and customers, including customer liquidity, operational capacity given local government restrictions imposed to prevent spread of the COVID-19 virus, supply chain constraints that may exist as a result of the virus and ability of the subsidiary to reduce cash outflows. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of our 5.11, ACI, Arnold, Liberty and Sterno reporting units exceeded their carrying value. Based on our analysis, we determined that our Ergobaby, Foam Fabricators and Velocity operating segments required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of these reporting units significantly exceeded the carrying value based on qualitative factors alone.
We performed the quantitative tests of Ergobaby, Foam Fabricators and Velocity using an income approach to determine the fair value of the reporting units. We were unable to use a market approach due to the current market conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in significant volatility and lack of available market comparables. In developing the prospective financial information used in the income approach, we considered recent market conditions, taking into consideration the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic fallout. The prospective financial information considers reporting unit specific facts and circumstances and is our best estimate of operational results and cash flows for each reporting unit as of the date of our impairment testing. For Ergobaby, the discount rate used in the income approach was 15.9% and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Ergobaby reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 14.0%. For Foam Fabricators, the discount rate used in the income approach was 13.3%, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Foam Fabricators reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 3.8%. The impairment test for Velocity used a discount rate of 12.8% in the income approach, and the results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Velocity reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 16.4%. The prospective financial information that is used to determine the fair values of the reporting units requires us to make assumptions regarding future operational results including revenue growth rates and gross margins. If we do not achieve the forecasted revenue growth rates and gross margins, the results of the quantitative testing could change, potentially leading to additional testing and impairment at the reporting units that were tested quantitatively.
2019 Interim Impairment Testing - As a result of operating results below forecasts in the current period as well as a re-forecast of the Velocity business in which planned earnings and revenue fell below the forecasts of prior periods, we determined that a triggering event had occurred at Velocity Outdoor in the third quarter of 2019. We performed goodwill impairment testing at Velocity as of September 30, 2019. For the quantitative impairment test at Velocity, we utilized an income approach. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins, and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. We used a weighted average cost of capital of 12.2% in the income approach. The discount rate used was based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with business specific characteristics and Velocity's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Based on the results of the impairment test, the fair value of Velocity did not exceed the carrying value, indicating that the goodwill at Velocity is impaired. The difference between the carrying value and fair value of the Velocity business was $33.4$32.9 million, which the Company has recorded as impairment expense as of September 30, 2019. We expect to finalize the impairment test during the fourth quarter ofyear ended December 31, 2019.
2019 Annual Impairment Testing - For our annual impairment testing at March 31, 2019, we determined that our Liberty operating segment required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of Liberty significantly exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. We concluded the goodwill impairment testing during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The results of the quantitative impairment testing of the Liberty reporting unit indicated

that the fair value of the Liberty reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 135%. All of our other reporting units were tested qualitatively as of March 31, 2019, and the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.
For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the 2019 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than notwas more-likely-than-not that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.
2018 Annual Impairment Testing - Our Arnold operating segment previously had three separate reporting units. As a result of changes implemented by Arnold management during 2016 and 2017, we reassessed the reporting units at Arnold as of the annual impairment testing date in 2018. The separate Arnold reporting units were determined to only comprise one reporting unit at the Arnold operating segment level as of March 31, 2018. As part of the exercise of combining the separate Arnold reporting units into one reporting unit, we performed "before" and "after" goodwill impairment testing, whereby we performed the annual impairment testing for each of the existing reporting units of Arnold and then subsequent to the completion of the annual impairment testing of the separate reporting units, we performed a quantitative impairment test of the Arnold operating segment. Two of the Arnold reporting units, PMAG and PTM, were tested qualitatively as part of the "before" test, while a quantitative impairment test was performed on the Flexmag reporting unit because we could not determine that it was more-likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeded its carrying value. We then performed a quantitative impairment test of the Arnold operating segment, which combined the three reporting units. The results of the quantitative impairment testing of the Arnold reporting unit indicated that the fair value of the Arnold reporting unit exceeded the carrying value by 254%. All of our other reporting units were tested qualitatively as of March 31, 2018, and the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets
We use a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names with a carrying value of approximately $60.0 million. The results of the qualitative analysis of our reporting unit's indefinite-lived intangible assets, which we completed as of March 31, 2020 and 2019, indicated that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value. The Ergobaby and Liberty reporting units have indefinite lived trade names that were tested in conjunction with the goodwill impairment tests at March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The results of the quantitative impairment testing indicated that the trade names were not impaired.
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
In May 2014,The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a comprehensive newprovisions of Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. The revenue recognition standard. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising

from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard, and all related amendments, was effective for us beginning January 1, 2018 and was adopted using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption.
The adoption of the new revenue guidance represented a change in accounting principle that will more closely align revenue recognition with the transfer of control of our goods and services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. In accordance with the new revenue guidance, revenueRevenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to government authorities.
The Company’s contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products to a customer. Determining whether the promises are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once the performance obligations are identified, the Company determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on a relative stand-alone selling price method. The corresponding revenues are recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied as discussed above. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately and therefore observable.
Upon adoption of the new revenue guidance, theThe Company’s policy around estimating variable consideration related to sales incentives (early pay discounts, rights of return, rebates, chargebacks, and other discounts) included in certain customer contracts remainedremains consistent with previous guidance. These incentives are recorded as a reduction in the transaction price. Under the newrevenue standard guidance, variable consideration is estimated and included in total consideration at contract inception based on either the expected value method or the most likely outcome method. The method was applied consistently among each type of variable consideration and the Company applies the expected value method to estimate variable consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and the Company’s best judgment at the time and as a result, reflect applicable constraints. The Company includes in the transaction price an amount of variable consideration estimated in accordance with the new guidance only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
Business Combinations
The acquisitions of our businesses are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accounting for business combinations requires the use of estimates and assumptions in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to allocate the purchase price. The estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable using established valuation methods, taking into consideration information supplied by the management of the acquired entities and other relevant information. The determination of fair values requires significant judgment both by our management team and, when appropriate, valuations by independent third-party appraisers. We amortize intangible assets, such as trademarks and customer relationships, as well as property, plant and equipment, over their economic useful lives, unless those lives are indefinite.

We consider factors such as historical information, our plans for the asset and similar assets held by our previously acquired portfolio companies. The impact could result in either higher or lower amortization and/or depreciation expense.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
ThereThe risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 should be considered together with information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and should not be considered the only risks to which we are exposed. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, including our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition. We are providing the following information regarding changes that have occurred to the previously disclosed risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019. Except for such additional information, we believe there have been no material changes in thosefrom the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2020.
Our financial condition and results of operations are expected to be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In late 2019, there was an outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus, COVID-19. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, lowered equity valuations, disrupted global supply chains and workforce participation due to “shelter-in-place” restrictions by various governments worldwide, decreased consumer confidence generally and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets.
The Company’s operations and business have been and are expected to continue to be materially and adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and related weak, or weakening of, economic or other negative conditions. In particular, the Company's businesses dependent on food service and brick and mortar retail operations have been and will continue to be especially susceptible to declining sales due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts. COVID-19 related facility shutdowns mandated by national or regional public health policies could also prevent our sites from operating in full capacity and adversely affect our financial position. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected timeframe, will depend on future developments. The significance of the impact on the Company’s operations is not yet certain and depends on numerous evolving factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict or effectively respond to, including, without limitation: the duration and scope of the outbreak; actions taken by governments, businesses, and individuals in response to the outbreak; the effect on economic activity and actions taken in response; the effect on customers and their demand for the Company’s products and services; and the Company’s ability to manufacture, sell, and service its products, including without limitation as a result of supply chain challenges, facility closures, social distancing, restrictions on travel, and shelter-in-place orders.  These and other uncertainties associated withfactors relating to or arising from the Companyoutbreak could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and Holdings discussedcash flows.  The degree to which COVID-19 and related actions ultimately impact our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows will depend on factors which are highly uncertain, difficult to predict and beyond our control including the duration, spread and severity of the outbreak, the actions taken to contain COVID-19 and mitigate its public health effects, the impact on the U.S. and global economies and demand for our products, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions resume. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries rely on customers and suppliers outside of the United States. Consequently, they will be negatively affected based on the impact of COVID-19 in regions outside of the United States and actions taken by local governments to try and limit the spread of COVID-19. As such, even if COVID 19 recedes in the section entitledUnited States or if localities re-open within the United States, the performance and the operating results of the company and its subsidiaries may still be negatively impacted based on the spread of the virus in international locations. Even after COVID-19 has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus's global economic impact and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

The Company has been aggressively managing capital expenditures across its businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic, which may result in slower growth or declining sales in future periods. Certain of our businesses have also experienced reduced orders, which will have a negative affect on sales in future periods even if sales in the periods in which orders decline are unaffected. We expect that the impact of COVID-19 to negatively affect our free cash flow. To the extent the impact to our business is materially worse than we currently expect, our board will need to consider how it impacts our future business decisions and strategies. Further, if we are unable to maintain sufficient access to capital, we may be unable to pursue attractive acquisitions or investment opportunities, which would have a negative impact on our growth and financial condition.
There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. Further, a second wave of COVID-19 later in 2020 or beyond would cause many of the impacts described herein to return or be exacerbated. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the "Risk Factors" that was disclosed in Part I, Item 1Asection of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2019.
