When performing the quantitative analysis for goodwill impairment testing, we base the fair value of our reporting unit on consideration of various valuation methodologies, including projecting future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved (“DCF”). Assumptions used in a DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rate and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows are based on current plans and assumed growth rates for future years. The calculation of fair value under the discounted future cash flows is based on estimates including revenue projections, EBITDA margin and discount rate, among others. Projected future cash flows are based on management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. We believe that our assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. The discount rate, which is intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, used in a DCF are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital of a market participant. Such estimates are derived from our analysis of peer companies and consider the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective.

We perform the annual goodwill impairment test for our single-reporting unit segment as of the first day of the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. We identified a triggering event during the year and we performed a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit for both the annual impairment assessment performed as of September 28, 2025, and the interim impairment assessment as of March 28, 2026. The interim and annual goodwill impairment testing concluded that no impairment was required.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, we experienced continued industry disruption, which resulted in a reduction in our near-term and long-term outlook. We also experienced a decline in our market capitalization as a result of a decrease in our stock price. Our stock price has a history of volatility, however, given the decrease was sustained throughout the quarter, we viewed this event as a triggering event for the quarters ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025. Our goodwill impairment testing concluded that no impairment was required at that time, and we have undertaken operational changes, including changes in management and strategy, that we believe will lead to improvements in the performance of the business and cash flows. Our forecast of future cash flows is based on our best estimate of projected revenue and projected operating margin, based primarily on pricing, material costs, market share, industry outlook, general economic conditions and strategic actions to improve our operating margin. Based on our impairment test, we had an estimated fair value that exceeded our carrying value, including goodwill, by approximately 20% and 25% in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.
