Balance as of July 31, 2024$110,090,000 174,090,000 $284,180,000 
Goodwill impairment(79,555,000)— (79,555,000)
Balance as of July 31, 2025$30,535,000 174,090,000 $204,625,000 

In accordance with FASB ASC 350, we perform a goodwill impairment analysis at least annually (on the first day of the first quarter of each fiscal year, or August 1st), unless indicators of impairment exist in interim periods. If we fail the quantitative assessment of goodwill impairment ("quantitative assessment"), we would be required to recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount that a reporting unit's carrying value exceeded its fair value; however, any loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.

At July 31, 2025 and July 31, 2024, accumulated goodwill impairment losses related to our Satellite and Space Communications segment totaled $128,480,000 and $48,925,000, respectively. There are no accumulated impairments for our Allerium segment.

Fiscal 2025 and Prior Assessments
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, our lower-than-expected financial performance in our Satellite and Space Communications segment, default on certain credit facility covenants and the sustained decrease in stock price since August 1, 2023 were considered triggering events which required a quantitative impairment test as of July 31, 2024. We performed a quantitative assessment using market participant assumptions to determine if the fair value of each of our reporting units with goodwill exceeded its carrying value. Ultimately, based on our quantitative evaluations, we determined that the carrying value of our Satellite and Space Communications reporting unit exceeded its fair value and recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $48,925,000 in fiscal 2024. We also determined that our Allerium reporting unit had an estimated fair value in excess of its carrying value of at least 24.7% and concluded that our goodwill for this reporting unit was not impaired.

Given our Satellite and Space Communications segment's financial performance in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, and considering triggering events within this segment prior to the issuance of our first quarter fiscal 2025 financial statements, we determined that we were required to perform another quantitative impairment test on an interim basis as of October 31, 2024. Ultimately, based on our quantitative evaluations, we determined that the carrying value of our Satellite and Space Communications reporting unit exceeded its fair value and recognized another goodwill impairment loss of $79,555,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

In performing the above quantitative assessments, we estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units using a combination of the income and market approaches. The income approach, also known as the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, utilizes the present value of cash flows to estimate fair value. The future cash flows for our reporting units were projected based on our estimates, at that time, of future revenues, operating income and other factors (such as working capital and capital expenditures). For purposes of conducting our impairment analysis, we assumed revenue growth rates and cash flow projections that are below our actual long-term expectations. The discount rates used in our DCF method were based on a weighted-average cost of capital ("WACC") determined from relevant market comparisons, adjusted upward for specific reporting unit risks (primarily the uncertainty of achieving projected operating cash flows). A terminal value growth rate was applied to the final year of the projected period, which reflects our estimate of stable, perpetual growth. We then calculated a present value of the respective cash flows for each reporting unit to arrive at an estimate of fair value under the income approach. Under the market approach, we estimated a fair value based on comparable companies' market multiples of revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and factored in a control premium. Finally, we compared our estimates of fair values to our total public market capitalization and assessed implied control premiums based on our common stock price of $3.72 and $3.17 as of the dates of testing (October 31, 2024 and July 31, 2024, respectively).
In tandem with our quantitative impairment test as of July 31, 2024 and decision in July 2024 to exit our operations in Basingstoke, United Kingdom (which became a separate asset group, the “U.K. Asset Group”), we assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of the U.K. Asset Group under the accounting standards for assets held and used as of July 31, 2024 and determined that the undiscounted future cash flows to complete the exit of our Basingstoke operations indicated that the carrying amount of the U.K. Asset Group was not recoverable. As a result, we recorded a $15,600,000 non-cash long-lived asset impairment charge within the Satellite and Space Communications segment in fiscal 2024. We allocated $9,925,000 of this impairment to the carrying value of Intangibles with Finite Lives, net, $2,651,000 to Property, Plant & Equipment, net, $1,873,000 to Other Assets, net and $1,151,000 to Operating Lease Right-of-Use Assets, net. In light of our quantitative interim impairment tests as of July 31, 2024 and October 31, 2024, we assessed the recoverability of the remaining carrying values of long-lived assets within the Satellite and Space Communications segment. The undiscounted future cash flows of the asset group indicated that the carrying amount of the asset group was recoverable.

Fiscal 2026 Assessment and Forward
On August 1, 2025 (the first day of fiscal 2026), we performed our annual quantitative assessment using market participant assumptions to determine if the fair value of each of our reporting units with goodwill exceeded its carrying value. In making this assessment, we considered, among other things, expectations of projected net sales and cash flows, assumptions impacting the weighted average cost of capital, trends in trading multiples of comparable companies, changes in our stock price and changes in the carrying values of our reporting units with goodwill. We also considered overall business conditions.

In performing the quantitative assessment, we estimated the fair value of each of our reporting units using a combination of the income and market approaches, as discussed above. We compared our estimates of fair values to our total public market capitalization and assessed implied control premiums based on our common stock price of $2.05 as of the date of testing. Ultimately, based on our quantitative evaluation, we determined that our Satellite and Space Communications and Allerium reporting units had estimated fair values in excess of their carrying values of at least 19.9% and 7.3%, respectively, and concluded that our goodwill was not impaired and that neither of our two reporting units was at risk of failing the quantitative assessment.

It is possible that, during the remainder of fiscal 2026 or beyond, business conditions (both in the U.S. and internationally) could deteriorate from the current state, our current or prospective customers could materially postpone, reduce or even forgo purchases of our products and services to a greater extent than we currently anticipate, or our common stock price could further fluctuate. A significant decline in our customers' spending that is greater than we anticipate or a shift in funding priorities may also have a negative effect on future orders, sales, income and cash flows and we might be required to perform a quantitative assessment during fiscal 2026 or beyond. If assumed net sales and cash flow projections are not achieved in future periods, our common stock price significantly declines from current levels, and or we complete certain actions related to our transformation plan, our Satellite and Space Communications and Allerium reporting units could be at risk of failing the quantitative assessment and goodwill and intangibles assigned to the respective reporting units could be impaired.

In any event, we are required to perform our next annual goodwill impairment analysis on August 1, 2026 (the start of our fiscal 2027). If our assumptions and related estimates change in the future, or if we change our reporting unit structure or other events and circumstances change (e.g., a sustained decrease in the price of our common stock (considered on both absolute terms and relative to peers)), we may be required to record impairment charges when we perform these tests, or in other future periods. Any impairment charges that we may record in the future could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.
