In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company identified triggering events that required interim goodwill impairment testing for certain reporting units within the Infrastructure segment. Due to the Company’s strategic exit from the North American solar tracker market, increased competitive pressures in Brazil, and uncertainty surrounding European policies, an interim goodwill impairment test was conducted for the Solar reporting unit. The carrying amount of this reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $41,869 within the Infrastructure segment.

Additionally, due to a reduction in forecasted sales primarily resulting from general market weakness in Australia, an interim goodwill impairment test was also performed for the Access Systems reporting unit. The carrying amount exceeded its estimated fair value, resulting in a goodwill impairment charge of $23,000 within the Infrastructure segment.

The fair values of both reporting units were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, which required the Company to estimate the future cash flows as well as select a risk-adjusted discount rate to measure the present value of the anticipated cash flows.

The weighted-average remaining useful life of amortizing intangible assets is approximately seven years. Amortization expenses were $2,678 and $5,377 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026, respectively, and $2,982 and $5,840 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2025, respectively. Amortization expense is expected to average $8,313 annually over the next five fiscal years, based on amortizing intangible assets reported as of June 27, 2026.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company performed an impairment test on indefinite-lived trade names associated with the Solar and Access Systems reporting units. Using the relief-from-royalty method, the Company determined that the carrying amounts of the trade names exceeded their estimated fair values. As a result, impairment charges of $4,830 were recognized within the Infrastructure segment.

Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, an impairment charge of $1,395 was recognized within the Agriculture segment for a customer relationship intangible asset that was determined not to be recoverable.
