2020 Impairment Charges
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent mitigation efforts, which include global business shutdowns, the closing of borders and the implementation of mandatory social distancing requirements, has created an unprecedented disruption to our business that began in March 2020. These mitigation efforts coupled with the negative economic impacts to the tourism industry caused a decline in revenues and changes to our forecasts. The Company tests for goodwill impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter each year and whenever events or circumstances dictate an interim impairment test is required. The Company determined the totality of these events constituted a triggering event that required us to perform an interim goodwill impairment assessment as of June 1, 2020. The Company concluded a triggering event had occurred for six reporting units, resulting in quantitative impairment tests. Three reporting units are within the EFT segment, two reporting units are within the Money Transfer segment, and one reporting unit is within the epay segment.
Under the quantitative impairment test, the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. The Company uses weighted results from the discounted cash flow model ("DCF model") and guideline public company method ("Market Approach model") to estimate the current fair value of its reporting units when testing for impairment, as management believes forecasted cash flows and EBITDA are the best indicators of such fair value. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including sales volumes and gross margins, tax rates, capital spending, discount rates and working capital changes. Most of these assumptions vary significantly among the reporting units. Significant assumptions in the Market Approach model are actual and projected EBITDA, selected market multiple, and the estimated control premium. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a goodwill impairment loss equal to such excess would be recognized. The DCF Model and Market Approach Model utilize Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy as they include unobservable inputs that require significant management assumptions.
The Company completed an interim goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of 2020. It determined, after performing a quantitative review of six reporting units, that the fair value of three of the reporting units exceeded the respective carrying amounts. For the remaining three reporting units, the quantitative test indicated that the fair value of each of the reporting units was less than the respective carrying amounts. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $104.6 million with respect to the xe, Innova and Pure Commerce reporting units. $21.9 million of the impairment charge was included within the EFT Segment, and $82.7 million of the impairment charge was included in the Money Transfer Segment. We have and will continue to evaluate our goodwill and long-lived assets for potential triggering events as conditions warrant.

The Company enters into operating leases for ATM sites, office spaces, retail stores and equipment. The Company's finance leases are immaterial. Right of use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease terms.
The present value of lease payments is determined using the incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Most leases include an option to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease terms. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease terms. The Company also has a unilateral termination right for most of the ATM site leases. The Company evaluated the likelihood of exercising the renewal and termination options beginning with the adoption of the new accounting lease standard on January 1, 2019, concluding 1) the options were not reasonably certain to be exercised and thus were not considered in determining the lease terms, and associated payment impacts were excluded from lease payments and 2) termination options were reasonably certain not to be exercised and therefore the stated lease payment schedule of the lease was used to determine the lease term.
During the second quarter of 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was a significant event that caused a significant change in circumstances and business plans to manage our portfolio of ATM leases. Specifically we downsized, through the exercise of termination clauses and the reduction of monthly costs by renegotiating payment terms of our ATM leases. The Company's execution of the business plan to renegotiate terms and downsize the portfolio of ATM leases constituted a reassessment event during the second quarter of 2020. The reassessment event required the Company to reevaluate the accounting for the portfolio of ATM leases, including lease terms. Due to the recent increased frequency of ATM site lease terminations, modifications, and greater unpredictability whether or not future lease terminations will be exercised, the Company is no longer able to conclude that termination options are reasonably certain not to be exercised. This reassessment conclusion impacts the lease term evaluation, instead of determining the lease term based on the stated lease payment schedule of the lease, now the lease term will be evaluated when the Company has the contractual ability to terminate the lease (most leases allow for a termination upon advance notice of between 30 and 90 days). As a result of the lease term reassessment, $211.9 million of right of use assets and $211.9 million lease liabilities were reassessed to have a term shorter than 12 months, thus were subject to the short-term lease exemption and removed from the balance sheet beginning June 30, 2020. New, amended, and modified ATM site leases with termination options exercisable within 12 months will be excluded from the right of use lease asset and lease liability balances in the future.
(1) Operating lease payments reflect the Company's current fixed obligations under the operating lease agreements. Certain ATM site leases contain termination options that grant the Company the option to terminate the lease prior to the stated term of the agreement. The Company includes the future minimum lease payments for these ATM site leases only to the extent that the termination option is not reasonably certain to be exercised.
