NOTE 6—GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

The Company has four goodwill reporting units: Natural, Conventional and Retail, which are each separate operating and reportable segments; and Woodstock Farms, which does not meet the criteria of an operating segment and is reported within the Natural segment.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment review and determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values. No goodwill impairments were identified as a result of this annual test.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Changes

The Company’s Goodwill balance as of August 1, 2026 and August 2, 2025 was $19 million, net of accumulated goodwill impairment charges of $727 million, and was only attributable to the Natural reporting unit. There were no goodwill impairment charges during fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024. Changes in the carrying value of Goodwill for fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025 were immaterial and due to changes in foreign exchange rates.
