factors, including information provided by valuation advisors. Contingent consideration liabilities are reported at their estimated fair values based on probability-adjusted present values of the consideration expected to be paid, using significant inputs and estimates. Key assumptions used in these estimates include probability assessments with respect to the likelihood of achieving certain milestones and discount rates consistent with the level of risk of achievement. The fair value of these contingent consideration liabilities are remeasured each reporting period, with changes in the fair value included in current operations. The remeasured liability amount could be significantly different from the amount at the acquisition date, resulting in material charges or credits in future reporting periods. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate fair value of the consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. The Company’s goodwill is accounted for in a single reporting unit representing the company as a whole. As part of its annual impairment testing of goodwill, the Company may elect to assess qualitative factors as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the traditional quantitative impairment testing. If the Company’s assessment of these qualitative factors (“Step zero”) indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then no further testing is required. Otherwise, the goodwill reporting unit, must be quantitatively tested for impairment (“Step one”). The Step one impairment test for goodwill involves a comparison of the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit by using a market approach and a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. Determining fair value using a DCF analysis requires the exercise of significant judgments, including judgments about appropriate discount rates, perpetual growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. There were no goodwill impairment charges recorded during the periods presented. Income Taxes For periods prior to the Company’ IPO, the Company was solely a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes, being a partnership, and as such income taxes related to the Company’s operations were the responsibility of those who held partnership interests in the Company. Accordingly, the Company did not have any expense related to federal income taxes during the three and year ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, there were no deferred income taxes related to state and local level income taxes for that same period. For periods subsequent to the IPO, as described above in Note 1, Organization and Description of Business, the Company’s structure became one commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies when they undertake an initial public offering of their business. The Up-C structure allows the members of the operating company, in this instance the Members of RGF, to continue to realize tax benefits in a similar fashion as was realized prior to the IPO, proportionate to their Membership interest, and the Company will be subject to both Federal and State taxes on the portion of earnings applicable to its controlling interest in RGF of 24%. Given the foregoing, the Company is subject to income tax on operating results related to the period November 4, 2021, through December 31, 2022, limited to its controlling interest in RGF. During this time the Company accounted for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment. 61
