We perform our indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests at least annually. Our fiscal year 2026 annual indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test was performed during the three months ended September 30, 2026. At the time of the annual impairment test which uses a July 31 measurement date, we determined no indefinite-lived asset impairment existed and the estimated fair values also exceeded the carrying value for each of our indefinite-lived intangible assets. During the third quarter of 2026, we experienced a decline in operating performance, revised our expectations regarding future operating results and cash flows, and considered the increased uncertainty associated with future forecasts. As a result of these factors and the commercial actions implemented during the quarter, we performed an additional impairment test of certain indefinite-lived intangible assets. Based on the results of that assessment, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $287.5 million to our Crop Protection Brands intangible asset during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
