_____________________________ 1 Acquisitions relate to the Company’s 2022 purchases of Drivetek, Rhombus and Santroll, and the 2021 purchase of AKASOL. 2 During the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $30 million to remove an indefinite-lived trade name as the Company no longer plans to utilize this trade name in the business. In 2021, the Company performed a quantitative impairment test over its indefinite-lived trade names, which indicated that for one trade name the fair value was less than the carrying value. Therefore, the Company recorded an impairment charge to reduce the carrying value to the fair value.
