Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The following table summarizes the changes in indefinite-lived intangible assets:

​

Management performs an interim indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell or dispose of the asset. If the carrying value of the indefinite-lived asset is higher than its fair value, the asset is deemed to be impaired and the impairment charge is estimated as the difference.  

The Company calculates the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets using the income approach, specifically the relief-from-royalty method.  The relief-from-royalty method is used to estimate the cost savings that accrue to the owner of an intangible asset who would otherwise have to pay royalties or license fees on revenues earned through the use of the asset. Internally forecasted revenues, which the Company believes reasonably approximate market participant assumptions, are multiplied by a royalty rate to arrive at the estimated net after tax cost savings. The royalty rate used in the analysis is based on an analysis of empirical, market-derived royalty rates for comparable intangible assets. Our discounted cash flow estimates use discount rates that correspond to a weighted-average cost of capital consistent with a market-participant view. The discount rates are consistent with those used for investment decisions and take into account our future operating plans and strategies.

As described above, we determined that a triggering event had occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, with respect to certain indefinite-lived intangible assets within our Outdoor reporting unit, which required that we perform a quantitative assessment. We assessed the fair value of the specific indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty method described above. As a result of this assessment, the carrying value of the PIEPS trademark recorded within our Outdoor reporting unit exceeded its estimated related fair value, thus an impairment of the PIEPS trademark of $1,565 was recorded.

If we do not achieve the results reflected in the forecasted estimates utilized in our impairment assessments, or if there are changes to market assumptions, our valuation of the reporting unit, including related indefinite-lived intangible assets, could be adversely affected, and we may be required to impair a portion or all of the related goodwill, indefinite-lived intangibles, and other long-lived assets which would adversely affect our operating results in the period of impairment.

Trademarks classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets by brand as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, were as follows:
