The author argues GAMB's contingent consideration liability was underestimated and will now hit the P&L instead of being capitalized as goodwill.

GAMB — AVOID The author contends that GAMB’s contingent consideration from the acquisition is a real liability that must be paid. Because it was not correctly estimated and capitalized as goodwill at acquisition date, the adjustment will flow through the income statement, creating an earnings hit. This accounting treatment is a negative valuation consideration.

Since they got it wrong though, it's going to flow through their P&L.
