Goodwill and Other Intangibles, Net

The Company has intangible assets of substantial value on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These intangible assets are generally related to intangible assets with a useful life, indefinite-lived trade names and goodwill. The Company determines whether an intangible asset (other than goodwill) has a useful life based on multiple factors, including how long the Company intends to generate cash flows from the asset. These intangible assets are more fully explained in the following sections.

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible impairment review is completed in the fourth quarter of each year.

Fair value for indefinite-lived intangible assets was estimated based on a “relief from royalty” or “excess earnings” discounted cash flow method, which contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change, and therefore could impact fair values in the future. The key assumptions used in determining fair value are sales growth, profitability margins, tax rates, discount rates and royalty rates.

On May 1, 2025, the Company announced that it would exit the Spinbrush business which resulted in a pre-tax loss of $21.2, of which $12.6 was recorded in Cost of Sales and $8.6 was recorded in SG&A expenses. In December 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to transfer all Spinbrush intellectual property to a third party for nominal consideration.

The Company’s global WATERPIK business is experiencing customer distribution losses and a decline in consumer demand, mainly due to lower consumer spending and more customers choosing value brands amid inflation. This has reduced sales, profits, and expected cash flows, eroding much of the excess fair value over carrying value for the WATERPIK trade name. As of October 1, 2025 (the date of the Company's last annual impairment test), the trade name’s carrying value was $644.7, with fair value at 117% of carrying value, down from 135% in 2024, reflecting declining sales, rising competition, business exits, and margin pressure from higher costs and tariffs. The Company's impairment analysis used an 8.0% discount rate, projected mid-single- to low double-digit revenue growth, and EBITA margins around 25%, based on current market trends and cost-lowering initiatives. Further declines in performance or adverse changes could trigger an impairment charge for the WATERPIK trade name.

(1) The $12.3 impairment charge relates to the Flawless trade name and Spinbrush customer relationship intangible asset, which had a gross value of $76.2 and accumulated amortization of $63.9 prior to full impairment. The impairments were a result of the Company's decision to exit these businesses.

Intangible amortization expense was $33.8 and $24.9 for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Intangible amortization expense amounted to $67.6 and $54.2 for the first six months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company estimates that intangible amortization expense will be approximately $142.0 in 2026 and approximately $149.0 declining to $135.0 annually over the next five years.

The Company tests goodwill for each reporting unit, which are also the Company's reportable segments. The result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the beginning of the second quarter of 2026, determined that the estimated fair value substantially exceeded the carrying values of all reporting units. The determination of fair value contains numerous variables that are subject to change as business conditions change and therefore could impact fair value in the future.
