Note 2. Accounting and Reporting Policies Use of estimates The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results may differ from such estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the Company’s long-lived assets, intangibles assets, the useful lives of the Company’s intangible assets, the valuation of stock-based compensation, deferred tax assets and liabilities, income tax uncertainties, and other contingencies. Revenue Recognition Policy XpresSpa, Treat and Naples Wax Center The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and services when the services are rendered at XpresSpa, Treat, and Naples Wax Centers locations and from the sale of products at the time products are purchased at the Company’s stores or online usually by credit card, net of discounts and applicable sales taxes. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue for the Company’s single performance obligation related to both in-store and online sales at the point at which the service has been performed or the control of the merchandise has passed to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from Priority Pass services when an invoice is generated to Priority Pass detailing the number of services performed multiplied by the agreed upon price. XpresTest During the third quarter of 2022, XpresTest, in partnership with Ginkgo BioWorks in continuation of their support to the CDC’s traveler-based SARS-CoV-2 genomic surveillance program was awarded a new contract. The partnership is expected to support public health and biosecurity services totaling approximately $16,000, with an overall potential to exceed $61,000 based on CDC program options and public health priorities. As COVID-19 sub-variants and other biological threats continue to emerge, the partners plan to expand the program footprint and incorporate innovative modalities and offerings, such as monitoring of wastewater from aircraft lavatories. The current contract with Ginkgo BioWorks related to the above partnership contains fixed pricing for which the Company is entitled to $14,730 for the sample collection (passenger and aircraft wastewater) and $370 for the traveler enrollment initiatives, which represents the amount of consideration that we are entitled. The Company recognizes revenue over time for both sample collection performance obligations, using the input method based on time elapsed to measure progress towards satisfying each of the performance obligations. We recognized the revenue for the traveler enrollment initiative performance obligation in the second quarter of 2023. The Company recognizes revenue ratably (straight line basis) over the term of the contract (one year). The Company recorded $2,542 and $9,289 in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and $1,603 and $5,531 in revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively related to sample collection performance obligations because the Company’s efforts towards satisfying each of the performance obligations are expended evenly throughout the period of performance. HyperPointe The Company’s HyperPointe business provides a broad range of service and support options for HyperPointe’s customers, including technical support services and advanced services. Technical support services represent the majority of these offerings which are distinct performance obligations that are satisfied over time with revenue recognized ratably over the contract term. Advanced services are distinct performance obligations that are satisfied over time with revenue recognized as services are delivered. Revenues billed in advance are treated as deferred revenue, which was $112 and $72 as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Deferred revenue recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, were $0 and $72, respectively. Deferred revenue recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, were $111 and $321, respectively. The Company excludes all sales taxes assessed to our customers from revenue. Sales taxes assessed on revenues are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets until remitted to state agencies. Gift cards, customer rewards and prepaid packages XWELL offers no-fee, non-expiring gift cards to its customers. No revenue is recognized upon the issuance of a gift card and a liability is established for the gift card’s cash value. The liability is relieved, and revenue is recognized upon redemption by the customer. As the gift cards have no expiration date, there is no provision for the reduction in the value of unused card balances. In addition, XWELL maintains a rewards program in which customers earn loyalty points, which can be redeemed for future services. Loyalty points are rewarded upon joining the loyalty program, for customer birthdays, and based upon customer spending. When a customer redeems loyalty points, the Company recognizes revenue for the redeemed cash value and reduces the related loyalty program liability. In 2023, the Company adopted a formal expiration policy whereby any loyalty members with inactivity for an 18-month period will forfeit any unused loyalty rewards. The costs associated with gift cards and reward points are accrued as the rewards are earned by the cardholder and are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets until used. Naples Wax Center offers prepaid wax packages that are either unlimited for one year or a set number of services. When the packages are purchased, the sales are recorded as deferred revenue. As services related to prepaid packages are used, revenue is recognized as income. The deferred revenue as of September 30, 2024, was $828 and for the year ended December 31, 2023, deferred revenue was $778. Translation into United States dollars The Company conducts certain transactions in foreign currencies, which are recorded at the exchange rate as of the transaction date. All exchange gains and losses occurring from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are deemed non-operating income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded $69 and $210, respectively, in exchange gains occurring from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $366 in exchange losses and $690 in exchange gains respectively, occurring from the remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies. Accounts of the foreign subsidiaries of XpresSpa are translated into United States dollars. Assets and liabilities have been translated primarily at period end exchange rates and revenues and expenses have been translated at average monthly rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates are included as foreign currency translation within the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss and condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. Business Combinations The Company uses the provisions of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) in the accounting for acquisitions of businesses. ASC 805 requires the Company to use the acquisition method of accounting by recognizing the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquired business, measured at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured as the excess of consideration transferred over the aforementioned amounts. While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately apply preliminary values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, these estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date, including estimates for intangible assets. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates that have been made are reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets the Company has acquired include future expected cash flows, and discount rates. Intangible assets Intangible assets include customer relationships, trade names, and technology, which were primarily acquired as part of the acquisition of XpresSpa in December 2016, HyperPointe in 2022 and Naples Wax Center in 2023 and were recorded based on the estimated fair value in purchase price allocation. In addition, intangible assets include software and website development costs that were capitalized as part of the Company’s development of a mobile application and website for the Treat brand. The Company accounts for these costs in accordance with ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. The intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which are periodically evaluated for reasonableness. The Company’s intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The fair value is then compared to the carrying value and an impairment charge is recognized by the amount in which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s intangible assets, the Company must make estimates and assumptions regarding future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets. These estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on whether an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not record any intangible impairment loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $2,758 of intangible impairment loss. Goodwill Goodwill represents the cost of a business acquisition in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized and is reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if facts and circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the company performs a quantitative test to identify and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss. The Company compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds fair value, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered impaired, and that excess is recognized as a goodwill impairment loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not record any goodwill impairment loss. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $4,024 of goodwill impairment loss. Reclassification Certain balances in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily the presentation of revenue, general and administrative expense, the realized and unrealized gain on investments and other operating expenses. The above separation affected revenue classifications, general and administrative expenses, the realized and unrealized gain on investments and other operating expense in the comparative 2023 financial statements. Such reclassifications did not have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets are tested for impairment at the lowest level at which there are identifiable operating cash flows. The Company’s long-lived assets consist primarily of leasehold improvements and right to use lease assets for each of its locations (considered the asset group). The Company reviews its long-lived assets for recoverability yearly or sooner if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If indicators are present, the Company performs a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset group in question to its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized if it is determined that the long-lived asset group is not recoverable and is calculated based on the excess of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset group over the long-lived asset group’s fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of long-lived assets using present value income approach. Future cash flows are calculated based on forecasts over the estimated remaining useful life of the asset group, which for each of the Company’s locations, is the remaining term of the operating lease. The estimates used to calculate future cash flows are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgments and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated fair value of each asset group. The Company will calculate the future cash flow using what it believes to be the most predictable of several scenarios. Typically, the changes in assumptions run under different business scenarios would not result in a material change in the assessment of the potential impairment or the impairment amount of a locations long-lived asset group. But if these estimates or related assumptions were to change materially, the Company may be required to record an impairment charge. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded impairment of long-lived assets of $0 and $652, respectively compared to $1,096 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
