Intangible Asset, Goodwill and Other [Abstract]  
Intangible Asset and Goodwill ote E — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
As a result of acquisitions of various businesses, the Company has significant intangible assets on its balance sheet that include goodwill and an indefinite-lived intangible. The Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested and reviewed for impairment annually as of March 31st or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Each of the Company’s businesses represent a reporting unit.
Goodwill
Annual Impairment Testing
The Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative goodwill impairment testing.
2026 Annual Impairment Testing
For the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2026, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of its reporting units with goodwill balances to determine whether it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, except the PrimaLoft reporting unit. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the PrimaLoft reporting unit.
The Company estimated the fair value of the PrimaLoft reporting unit using a combination of the income approach (discounted cash flow method) and the market approach (guideline company multiples). Significant assumptions used in the quantitative test included, among others, projected revenue growth, operating margins, the terminal growth rate and the discount rate, each of which reflects management’s best estimates based on historical performance, current market conditions and expectations of future operating performance. The discount rate used in the income approach was 13.4%. The quantitative test indicated that the fair value of the PrimaLoft reporting unit was less than its carrying amount; accordingly, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $20.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which is included in operating income/(loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
2025 Annual Impairment Testing
For the Company's annual impairment testing at March 31, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of our reporting units with goodwill balances. The results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each of the reporting units tested except the PrimaLoft reporting unit exceeded their carrying value. Based on the Company's analysis, the Company determined that the PrimaLoft reporting unit required quantitative testing because we could not conclude that the fair value of this reporting unit significantly exceeded the carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. The Company performed a quantitative test of PrimaLoft using an income approach and a market approach to determine the fair value of the PrimaLoft reporting unit. The discount rate used in the income approach was 11.3%. The results of the testing indicated that the fair value of PrimaLoft exceeded the carrying value by 12.1%.
2025 Interim Impairment Testing
Arnold - The Company performed an interim impairment test of goodwill at Arnold as of October 31, 2025. During 2025, Arnold was negatively impacted by both production delays related to facility transitions, and supply chain constraints caused by export controls and disruption in the market for rare earth minerals, a key component in certain of Arnold's products. As a result, the operating results of Arnold were below our forecast and prior year results for the business. While Arnold's backlog continued to grow, the production delays and supply chain disruption caused by the export controls led us to determine that a triggering event had occurred. The Company used an income approach for the impairment test, whereby we estimated the fair value of the reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The Company used a discount rate of 14.2% in the income approach. The results of the testing indicated that the fair value of Arnold exceeded the carrying value by 77%.

Interim long-lived asset impairment testing
Lugano - As a result of the preliminary findings of the Lugano Investigation, the Company determined that a triggering event had occurred in the second quarter of 2025 and tested the long-lived assets of Lugano for impairment. The long-lived assets at Lugano were comprised of a tradename intangible asset, property, plant and equipment and right-of-use lease assets. The long-lived assets were assessed as definite lived assets to be held and used as of the impairment testing in the second quarter. The assessment of the recoverability of the carrying value of the Lugano assets resulted in an impairment loss of $29.5 million related to property, plant and equipment and $1.9 million related to right-of-use assets as of June 30, 2025. The impairment of the property, plant and equipment reflects the amount by which the carrying value of these assets exceed their estimated fair value, with fair value determined primarily through a market comparison method. The right-of-use asset related to a retail salon in Toronto, Canada. At the time of the triggering event, the Toronto retail salon had not yet opened and the Company's assessment determined that given the findings of the Lugano Investigation, it was unlikely that the Toronto salon would open in the near term. The impairment test for right-of-use assets involves comparing the right-of-use asset's carrying value to the undiscounted cash flows expected from its future use. Given the expectation that the Toronto retail salon would not open, no cash flows were expected from its future use and an impairment loss was recognized for the entire balance of the right-of-use asset associated with the Toronto salon lease.
