(a) Net of accumulated impairment losses of $399.5 million in the Outdoors segment.

 

We test goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter, or whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the carrying value of a reporting unit may be greater than its fair value. The Company has three reporting units, Water, Outdoors, and Security, which are determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other.

 

First Quarter 2026 Impairment Test

 

The historical cushion on the Outdoors reporting unit and the recent and sustained decline in the Company's stock price since the last impairment test conducted in the fourth quarter of 2025 triggered the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test at the Outdoors reporting unit as of March 28, 2026. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on an equally weighted combination of a discounted cashflow analysis, or income approach, and a guideline public company method, or market approach, based on market multiples of comparable companies. The most significant assumptions used in the fair value analysis were forecasted revenue growth rates, EBITDA margin, market participant discount rates, and EBITDA multiples. As a result of this test, we determined that no impairment existed for the Outdoors reporting unit and that fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value.

 

Second Quarter 2026 Impairment Test

 

The strategic review of the Fiberon business within the Outdoors segment triggered the Company to perform an interim goodwill impairment test of the Outdoors reporting unit as of June 27, 2026. The fair value of the reporting unit was determined based on an equally weighted combination of a discounted cashflow analysis, or income approach, and a guideline public company method, or market approach, based on market multiples of comparable companies. The most significant assumptions used in the fair value analysis were forecasted revenue growth rates, EBITDA margin, market participant discount rates, and EBITDA multiples. As a result of this test, we determined that no impairment existed for the Outdoors reporting unit and that fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value.

The $171.9 million decrease in gross identifiable intangible assets was primarily due to an impairment within our Outdoors segment of $167.5 million and foreign currency translation adjustments.

Amortizable identifiable intangible assets, primarily customer relationships, are amortized over their estimated useful life, ranging from 4 to 30 years, based on the assessment of a number of factors that may impact useful life, which includes customer attrition rates and other relevant factors.
