Goodwill of $75.8 million (2020: $17.8 million) has been acquired through business combinations (Note 6). All development costs, including intangibles under development, have been internally generated by the Group. During 2021, $33.1 million (2020: $51.9 million) of intangibles under development were transferred to development costs as these projects were completed. Intangibles under development are tested for impairment at least annually.

The total net book value is considered to be the recoverable amount, as this balance is reviewed annually and impaired as necessary (Note 4). All development costs are related to software and artificial intelligence development and there are no distinguishable individually material intangible assets within the capitalized development costs. Following an assessment of the future development of our technology, capitalized development costs were impaired by $0.9 million (2020: $6.4 million). The impairment recognized in 2020 was primarily the result of the discontinuation of certain features surrounding a proprietary data structure for encounters on our software platform that were deemed to be no longer technologically feasible.

Impairment Analysis for CGUs Containing Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill and other intangibles are subject to impairment testing on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may no longer be recoverable. As of October 1, 2021, the date of the Goodwill impairment testing, all of the Goodwill of the Group was allocated to the California IPA CGU. The fair value of the California Independent Physicians Association CGU (“California IPA CGU”, formerly “Fresno CGU”) was determined using a discounted cash flow model, a form of the income approach.

The recoverable amount of the California IPA CGU that included these intangible assets was estimated based on the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the California IPA CGU (value in use), using a discount rate of 14.5% and a terminal value growth rate of 3.0% from 2027. The recoverable amount of the California IPA CGU was estimated to be higher than its carrying amount, and as a result there was no impairment related to the California IPA CGU in 2021.

The below are factors considered when performing the 2021 sensitivity analysis:

Terminal value growth rate: Babylon used a terminal growth value of 3.0% which reflects long-term assumptions of growth. A 2.75% terminal growth rate would have resulted in a reduction to the fair value of the California IPA CGU of $1.3 million, and a 2.5% terminal growth rate would have resulted in a reduction of $3.2 million.

Discount factor: Babylon used a discount factor of 14.5% based on market participation assumptions of comparable public companies. An increase in the discount rate to 15.0% would have resulted in a reduction to the fair value of the California IPA CGU of $4.8 million, and a discount rate of 15.5% would have resulted in a reduction of $9.2 million.

No reasonably possible change to the key assumptions would lead to an impairment of goodwill
