Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Beginning September 1, 2024, the Company reorganized its internal structure to focus on speed, precision, and solutions, and as a result of the organizational realignment, the Company’s operating segments now consist of three segments – Regulated Industries, Intelligent Infrastructure, and Connected Living and Digital Commerce, which are also the Company’s reportable segments. See Note 14 – “Concentration of Risk and Segment Data” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. The Company performs a goodwill impairment analysis on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As a result of the change in reportable segments, the Company’s reporting units also changed. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended November 30, 2024, the Company tested goodwill for impairment immediately before and after the reorganization. As a result of these analyses, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired before or after the reorganization. The Company completed its annual impairment analysis for goodwill during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025. A quantitative or qualitative assessment was performed, and the Company determined that the fair values of the reporting units exceeded the carrying values and that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment analysis. The following table presents the changes in goodwill allocated to the Company’s reportable segments during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):
