Snap-on completed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the second quarter of 2026, the results of which did not result in any impairment. Provisions for impairment of goodwill and/or other intangible assets could arise in a future period due to significant and unanticipated changes in circumstances, such as declines in profitability and cash flow due to long-term deterioration in macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, the loss of key customers, changes in technology or markets, changes in key personnel or litigation, a sustained decrease in share price and/or other events. As of October 3, 2026, the company had no accumulated impairment losses.
The weighted-average amortization periods related to other intangible assets are as follows:
