Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
Impairment Impairment
The Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $73.5 million during the year ended January 2, 2023 and $114.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. This consisted of the following:

(in thousands) Year Ended January 2, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2021
Goodwill $ 66,569  $ 106,476 
Definite-lived intangible assets —  7,706 
Long-lived assets 3,100  615 
Right-of-use assets 3,846  — 
Total non-cash impairment charge $ 73,515  $ 114,797 

Based on the results of the Company’s interim and annual goodwill impairment tests, the Company determined it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired for the Anthony's and BurgerFi reporting units. Accordingly, for the BurgerFi reporting unit the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of approximately $17.5 million and $106.5 million for the years ended January 2, 2023 and December 31, 2021. We also recognized impairment charges for Anthony’s reporting unit’s goodwill for the year ended January 2, 2023 of $49.1 million. The majority of the goodwill impairment was driven by the impact on the Company's market capitalization due to the decrease in stock price, coupled with significant declines to the equity values of its peers.

Based on the Company’s review at the end of each reporting period of its long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets, it performed impairment testing for the related asset group for which there are independently identifiable cash flows. Based on its impairment testing, the Company determined that certain long-lived assets relating to its right-of-use assets, and property & equipment at certain corporate-owned restaurants were impaired at the BurgerFi and Anthony’s reporting units, and accordingly, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $6.9 million for the year ended January 2, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded impairment charges of approximately $7.7 million for the BurgerFi reporting unit and none for Anthony’s. The impairment amount was primarily the result of lower cash flow estimates associated with the licensing agreements, as well as a change in estimate of the related useful life.
As it relates to determining the fair values of the assets impaired such as goodwill and definite lived intangible assets, refer to Note 13, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Company utilized the income approach to fair value it’s long-lived and right-of-use assets and based on the weight of unobservable inputs classifies their fair value measurements as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
