(A) As a result of the divestiture of Kichler in the third quarter of 2024, both gross goodwill and accumulated impairment losses for the Decorative Architectural Products segment were reduced by $64 million as the goodwill had been fully impaired prior to the divestiture. (B) In the third quarter of 2023, we acquired Sauna360 and during the third quarter of 2024, we recognized $2 million of goodwill in our Plumbing Products segment related to this acquisition (refer to Note B for additional information). In the second quarter of 2024, we recognized $4 million of goodwill in our Decorative Architectural Products segment related to an immaterial acquisition. Other indefinite-lived intangible assets were $77 million and $79 million at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and principally included registered trademarks. We completed our annual impairment testing of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarters of 2025, 2024 and 2023. We recognized a $5 million non-cash impairment charge within our Decorative Architectural Products segment to other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2025 due to the loss of a customer in our paint applicator business. We recognized a $15 million non-cash impairment charge within our Decorative Architectural Products segment to other indefinite-lived intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2023 due to competitive market conditions and increased cost of capital in our lighting business. There was no impairment of goodwill for any of our reporting units or of our other indefinite-lived intangible assets in any of these years, other than as disclosed above. The carrying value of our definite-lived intangible assets wa s $128 million (net of accumulated amortization o f $92 million) at December 31, 2025 and $140 million (net of accumulated amortization of $102 million) at December 31, 2024 and principally included customer relationships with a weighted average amortization period of 13 years in both 2025 and 2024. Amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible assets wa s $20 million, $29 million and $31 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2025, amortization expense related to the definite-lived intangible assets during each of the next five years will be as follows: 2026 – $18 million; 2027 – $18 million; 2028 – $15 million; 2029 – $15 million and 2030 – $14 million.
