Note 5 - Goodwill and Intangibles

We perform annual impairment testing each fiscal year and interim impairment testing, if necessary. We write down any asset deemed to be impaired to its fair value.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we concluded that a goodwill impairment triggering event had occurred due to a further sustained decline in our stock price, resulting in our carrying value (excluding long-term debt) exceeding the Company's total enterprise value (market capitalization plus long-term debt). Additional factors that contributed to this conclusion included downward revisions to our internal forecasts and strategic long-term plans, which reflect the tariff policies in effect and the related macroeconomic environment at the end of our first quarter of fiscal 2026, including the corresponding impact on consumer spending and retailer orders. These factors were applicable to all of our reporting units, indefinite-lived trademark licenses and trade names and definite-lived trademark licenses, trade names and certain other intangible assets. Thus, we performed quantitative impairment testing on our goodwill and intangible assets described above.

We estimate the fair value of our trade names and trademark licenses using the relief from royalty method income approach which is based upon projected future discounted cash flows (“DCF Model”). We estimate the fair value of our customer relationships and lists using the distributor method income approach which is based upon a DCF Model. After adjusting the carrying values of our indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets, the Company completed a quantitative impairment test for goodwill. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach based upon projected future discounted cash flows.

Based on the outcome of these assessments, we recognized asset impairment charges totaling $414.4 million and a charge of $16.5 million to tax expense to record a valuation allowance against a related deferred tax asset during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. Asset impairment charges recognized for our Home & Outdoor segment totaled $219.1 million and included charges for our Hydro Flask and Osprey businesses of $120.8 million and $98.3 million, respectively. Asset impairment charges recognized for our Beauty & Wellness segment totaled $195.3 million and included charges for our Drybar, Curlsmith, Health & Wellness and Revlon businesses of $103.7 million, $36.2 million, $35.8 million and $19.6 million, respectively. In connection with our annual budgeting and forecasting process, management reduced its forecasts for net sales revenue growth, gross margin and earnings before interest and taxes to reflect the tariff policies in effect and the related macroeconomic environment at the end of our first quarter of fiscal 2026, including the corresponding impact on consumer spending and retailer orders, as applicable. The revised forecasts also resulted in management selecting lower residual growth rates, which were also reflective of revised long-term industry growth expectations, and royalty rates, as applicable. Refer to Note 11 for additional information on our valuation method and related assumptions and estimates. For additional information regarding the testing and analysis performed, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 2., “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”.
