Definite-lived intangible assets. During the first quarter of 2026, we recognized a definite-lived supply contract intangible asset of $88. This amount relates to a barrel supply agreement and was obtained as partial consideration for the sale of the Brown-Forman Cooperage facility and related assets on May 1, 2025 (refer to Note 6). We determined the estimated fair value of the supply contract using a discounted cash flow model. This method requires the use of assumptions, such as projected future market prices and discount rates (refer to Note 16). Amortization related to the supply contract used in the production of barrels will be capitalized into inventories. The supply contract will be amortized based on the actual realization of the benefit over the term of the contract. We expect to realize the benefit over seven years. There was $11 of amortization capitalized into inventories during the year ended April 30, 2026. Estimated amortization for the next five fiscal years is as follows: $0 in 2027, $15 in 2028, $15 in 2029, $15 in 2030, and $15 in 2031. The estimated amortization may fluctuate due to changes in our expected realization of the benefit over the term of the contract.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets. The decrease in the indefinite-lived intangible assets from April 30, 2025 to April 30, 2026, was primarily driven by impairment charges of $132, partially offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates.
During 2025, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $47 for the Gin Mare brand name, largely reflecting a decline in our financial forecast assumptions due to the more challenging macroeconomic environment in Europe. During the fourth quarter of 2026, in connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, we recognized non-cash impairment charges of $45 for the Gin Mare brand name and $87 for the Diplomático brand name, largely reflecting a decline in our forecast assumptions due to the softening category outlook and challenging macroeconomic environment in many of our top markets for these brands (refer to Note 16). The impairment charges are included in “other intangible assets impairment” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
